He produced a ¡urge rolled sheet
of pnrchm eut, Imposingly enscrolled,
across the top of which ran the
legend :
“ A FREE PARDON."
“ Tw as bound to come," he ram bled
on. “Do you go w ithin and show It

"I am so happy I know no t w hat to

We followed her pointing finger;
and there, striding between the or

“ We have w aited long for you to

“1 go with you," he gasped after

“I go to the Land of Lost Souls.”
“Ja, th a t's all righdt,” returned Cor

T he hard lines of the Seneca's stern

“I was In der Sliawnees’ country

Value of Milk Known
From Eurliest Times
Cows were the first Hiilmals dom esti
cated when cavemen forsook their
clubs for rude plows to till the soil. In
India the cow has been worshiped tor
centuries. Sacred cows huve been
m aintained In tem ples and milk has
h id an Im portant place In Hlndc
magic. Milk has been the subject of
song nnd poetry since history began.
Cannun, the prom ised land of Israel,
was said to flow with milk and honey.
Ovid, the Roman poet, gave milk sec
ond place only to nectar, the drink of
the gods.
3111k for ages has been regarded as
a cure for hum an Ills. The ancients
discovered It w as a trem endous factor
In building up and m aintaining the
body. T his Is because milk Is an a l
most perfect food, combining nearly
all ‘the elem ents necessary for com
plete nourishm ent.
Modern science has produced evapo
rated milk which, experts say, Is an
Improvement on the original. By re-
ittovnl iff On p er ren t of the wnter,
evaporated milk is rendered tw ice as
rich in food ta b le as ordinary market
milk. The sterilizing process through
which evaporated milk goes makes It
easier of digestion than ordinary bot
tle d milk. T his Is due to the fact that
flie mirk curds are rendered more floc-
culent by the heat.
