A little boy was told at Sunday
school that when he died he would leave
his body here. After returning home he
was much troubled in regard to it and he
questioned his parents. His mother
explained to bim by saying: "You will
take all the good with you, but leave all
that is naughty here below" He thought

Poison in the Milk.

at this season of the year frequent
cases of milk and ice cream poisoning
aro reported from all parts of the coun.
try.
In the current number of the Popular
Science Monthly this important matter
is intelligently discussed at some length.
Some years ago Michigan chemist
discovered that a mysterious poison was
generated in cheese, sweet milk, butter,
custard and ice cream. In 1886, seven.
ty.three cases of poisoning occurred at
three Long Branch hotels, all caused by
milk. Itwas found that the COWS were
MIXED at noon. The milk was placed
while hot in cans, and without being
cooled, was carted eight miles during the
warmest hours Of the day. In all the
cases reported, hot weather seems to have
been one of the causes. Once, when
eighteen persons were poisoned by ice
cream, It was found that the custard
before freezing had stood for some hours
in an unventilated and unclean room.
Professor Vaughan, the Michigan
scientists already quoted, believes that the
following methods are preventive:
1. Scrupulous cleanliness. A little
dry milk on the rim of can or vessel may
breed the germ which will find culture
ground in fresh milk.
2. A low tenpeEature-below co. Fahr.
3. Ventilation in an untainted atmos.
phere.
Milk is such an important part of our
diet that the suggestion made by Pfofes.
sor Vaughan should receive due consid-

follow them.

Of the Old ami the building Of lew roads
The Ct z MS Of the county are thoroughly
aroused to the Importance of having one or
two hard roads, and every farmer now feels
that unless the county makes this needed
requirement the lands now on the rise must,
of necessity, recede, as no one Is willing
to invest who is acquainted with the present
condition of the roads. The suggestion to
bond Alexandria county in the sum of from
$40 600 to $4,000 to be applied to makiog
roads under a contract system meets the
approval of the majority of taxpayers, and
the meeting to be held tomorrow night Is
for the purpose of taking definite action on
this question.
