MOTHER AMADEUS
TO LEAVE ALASKA
..—
Going 8outh on the Alameda—In
vites Friends to Call—Spent
Winter in North.
Reverend Mother Amadeus
Dunne, Priores Provincial of the
Ursaliue Order in Alaska, is in
Valdez for a few days only, un
til the sailing of the Alameda ,on
which she will leave for the
states, to secure the assistance
of more nuns for the establish
ment of a house which will be
permanent headquarters for the
Educational work throughout
Alaska. The location of the
house is not yet definitely de
cided.
On account of the fatigue of
travel, having come directly from
•St. Michaels where she spent the
winter, also occupied with busi
ness affairs, she has been unable
to meet those who have kindly
called upon her. She desires
greatly, to receive the friends of
the Convent, to personally thank
them for their,generous patron
age and the appreciation shown
by them of the efforts of the
nuns in this city.
She invites those who intend
to call upon her, to do so at any
hour between 1 :30 and 5:30 p.
in. on Saturday and Sunday; or
else between 8 and 11:30 a. m.
on Saturday.
Reverend Mother regrets ex
ceedingly that her slay must be
so /short and that she /cannot
promise to return fo Valdez.
She will be accompanied on her
trip by Sister Angela, who will
thus gjaiu a much neefded rest
from her arduous lessons.

MILK A VALUABLE FOOD.
K £x«rta a Marked Protective InMa
eaoe Upon Our Organa.
Milk is our most valuable food,
and there is no form of diet whum
exerts so marked a protective influ
ence upon our organs as that of
milk, because it contains so little
material of an irritating kind. Milk
can, however, only be accepted as
really good when it is taken as it
comes from the cow—that is, raw—
and when there is certainty that it
has come from a healthy animal.
I wish to add here that certain
bacilli are always present in raw
milk and that they prevent the for
mation of large numbers of other
bacteria, such as those of typhoid
fever. The latter cannot develop
in raw milk. When the milk has
been boiled or sterilized, however,
typhoid bacilli which have got into
it will remain in it for months, as
well as other forms of poisonous
bacteria which are injurious to chil
dren. When raw milk free of all
objections cannot be obtained it is
best to use buttermilk.
Some persons possess an antipathy
to milk, which in its ordinary form
is not well tolerated by their stom
achs. This is especially noticeable
in women and young girls. In such
cases the milk may be diluted one
third with some alkaline mineral
water, such as vichy celestins. The
addition of some fine flour may also
render the milk more digestible and
hence better borne. Small children,
too, sometimes prefer milk given to
them in this form. For those who
cannot tolerate ordinary milk the
more easily digested buttermilk may
be used.
Milk should be taken raw, but
circumstances may present them
selves, however, when a glass of hot
milk will exert a beneficial influence
upon the system. This is the case,
for instance, where one has been
out on a damp, cold day and comes
in feeling chilled, as by drinking
hot milk we greatly stimulate the
activity of the skin. In colds, if
early in the morning or on rising
hot whey or hot milk is taken, it
will exert a favorable influence upon
the inflamed mucus membranes.
To warm the body up on a cold,
frosty day tea is often used, but
from the standpoint of health milk
is better. The yolks of one or two
eggs make of milk a very strength
ening drink.—Health and Longev
ity- _
Eskimo Lamps.
It is believed that the Eskimo
lamp was invented before its posses
sors emigrated from their original
home, which was probably farther
south and near the seacoast. But
the .form of^the lamp becomes more
specialized the higher the latitude
is. The lamps of southern Alaska
have a wick edge of two inches,
while those of Point Barrow and
northern Greenland have wick
edges of seventeen to thirty-six
inches. The lamp is employed for
melting snow and ice to obtain
drinking water, for cooking, light
ing, warming, drying skins and in
the arts. It is also a social factor
and the sign of the family unit,
eacli head of the family having his
lamp.—Harpers Weekly.
Charm of a Campfire.
David Grayson in the American
Magazine says:
“Did you ever sit by a campfire
and watch the flames dance and the
sparks fly upward into the cool,
dark air? Did you ever see the
fitful light among the tree depths,
at one moment opening vast shad
owy vistas into the forest, at the
next dying downward and leaving it
all in somber mystery? And what
a friendly and companionable thing
a campfire is! How generous and
outright it is! It plays for you
when you wish to be lively, and it
glows for you when you wish to be
reflective.”
Training an Oriental.
A Canadian woman wanted to
show her Cifiiese servant the cor
rect way to announce visitors and
one afternoon went outside her
front dopr, rang the bell and made
the man usher her into the drawing
room.
The following afternoon the bell
rang, and, not hearing him answer,
she went to the door herself. To
her surprise, he was standing wait
ing outside.
“Why, Sing,” she said, “what are
you doing here ?”
“You foolee me yesteddy. I foolee
you today,” was the reply.-^udge.
