In addition to that, the cheese • makers had S00,000,000 pounds of milk solids pot Included in the cheese. The Important by-products of milk are casein, which comes from skim milk, and the various chemicals contributed by the whey, such as lactic acid, sodium lactate and calcium lactate, ( Lactic acid may play a part In making the appetizer at dinner and the pastry at the end. It is used In leather goods and In paints and may also have helped make the soft drink at yourt soda fountain. The vigorous youth of the milk by-products industry is strikingly shown by f government figures. As recently as 1920,_ this country produced only a third of the casein it needed. By 1934 Imports were a mere four per cent. American milk companies furnished the rest, with Wisconsin and California sharing honors as the largest producers.

Beds of Pure Sulphar : Beds of pure sulphur exist fn many parts of the world. In Louisiana and Texas they are covered with quicksand. This makes it impossible to mine in the ordinary • way, so pipes are sunk. Hot water forced down one of the pipes dissolves the sulphur. The solution returns to the surface in another pipe. The product, when boiled down, is almost 100 per cent pure.

THE MINISTRY OF SILENCE Br ' tEONARP A. BABRETT There would be no great art, or music, or literature without "the silences." In hours of quiet retirement come the world's greatest inspirations. Robe r t Browning w r o t e a fine phrase: "Stung by the splendor of a sudden t h o u g h t , " -- but the mood which woos the "sudden thought" finds its creative power in solitude. So, there can be no truly great character without the ministry of silence. Hours of detachment from ordinary duties, hours in. which the soul finds its source of power are essential to a Veil developed personality. In silence, resolutions ere formed and noble conquests effected. In silence we become better acquainted with ourselves. "Silence is the ecstatic bliss of souls, that by intelligence converse." Silence links us with the infinite. The reactions of silence, which' may vary in different persons, depend upon individual interpretation. If great silences bring us nothing but loneliness and despair, if no hopeful and encouraging voice speaks to/US from the vast solitude of space, if our introspection makes us more rebellious and leaves us in a state of self-pity, as it did Job of old who after seven days of silence, cursed the day in which he was born, then certainly we have erred in our interpretation of the ministry of silence. If we have allowed fear to dominate our emotions and will, then our .thoyghts have been centered upon ourselves as victims and not as victors. ^ - We have failed to hear the music of the spheres because we were intent in listening to the jazz and jargon of our sensuous existence. If in silence we encounter no new tuid helpful ideas, no inspirations, no higher impulses, no urge for nobler actions, then silence has been a curse and not a blessing. When the great silences are interpreted by love and not by fear, when they lead us to think less of ourselves and more of others, when they create within us the desire to rise on stepping stones to higher things, they have become a source of great benefit. Many a man has solved his difficult economic and personal problem by getting away from it. The beauty of arroil painting depends not only upon the lighting effect but also upon the distance that intervenes between the painting and the person who looks at it. We cannot get away from the things •that consume us unless we try to mold them into new and better patterns. The old dies; the new must be born in ideas as well as in physical being. New solutions come as we evaluate the relation of our problems to others as well as to ourselves. John Morley said of Gladstone: "He lived from a great depth of being." We live in a noisy world. Great depths of being are to be found only in those silences in which, through the infinite stillness, the mystery of existence speaks to us. Great depths of being come when the perpetual voices of the world and our own puny voices alike have been hushed in the silent harmony of being that enables us to "hear the whispers of the gods.", © Western Newspaper Union.

Keep open salt cellars covered with glass when not in use during the summer months. This will keep out the dampness that causes salt to cake.
