And much of the misery is caused by waywardness and mis. deed of sons and daughters. Rev Henry B. Masters, D.

Farmers' wives should be very careful at this season of the year with the coloring of-butter, as Ihe pure food law specialty Jprbids the use of coloring matter used in the .prep a ration of butter. It also prOvMesthat all' mosture over 1 per cent must bp worked out. By this is meant that all buttermilk must be worked out over this amount. During the winter months dry feed is used principally to feed milch cows and the butter is ' usually very white and the coloring matter is used more or less by all butter makers. Any infraction of these laws, though not intentional by farmers’ wives, might cause them to be fined under the pure food law. The special- election held at Frankfort,- Thursday for the purpose jjf determining whether the town and township would give the Clover Leaf railroad $57,000 for the purpose of improving its shops in that town, brought out a light vote, but the subsidy carried by nearly 500 majority.

The Clover Leaf pay roll at this Indiana town at the present time amounts to about $50,000 a month and if the contemplated improvements are made this will be greatly in. creased.

George and Ira Thomas were business callers at Fort Wayne 'today. No one but grandma knew what to do when Bobby swallowed a fishbone. She tried a remedy that had relieved more than one sufferer with that agony. A string was tied in the eye of a smooth button. This was dropped down Bobby’s throat edgewise, and when it was swallowed the string was drawn back with the button, which had neatly done its mission—that of dislodging and bringing up the fishbone with it. If there is one thing above another a young man should be ashamed of doing is loafing, without aim, purpose or profit, on the streets or in stores day after day all week. If you have nothing to do, stay at home, a part of the time at any rate. No young man with any self-respect will content himself with aspiring to no higher reputation that of a chronic loafer and a store box magnate. Nothing, will so blunt the higher faculties of the mind as inactivity, and no activity is so baneful and malevolent in its effect as that voluntary idleness termed loafing.
