NO SKIM-MILK.
An Ingenious Method by Which Skim
milk Can be Made to Masqu0-
ads rs Cream.

The milk inspectors life is not a happy
one, although, barring rather early hours,
his duties are not arduous. About week
ago Milk Inspector Walter McEvilly
learned that an individual was in town
representing Chicago firm and placing
an article with the dairvmen and milk
dealers which was calculated to deceive
the contiding city customers into believ-
ing that they were receiving the richest
of Jersey milk when in reality they were
drinking the thinnest, blucst, most
wa,cry compound that ever pa
radcd a. the product of the gen
tie COW. Mr.. McEvillN started ON
Il Stll-hunt for his man, and
finally the trail became 50 warm
that the vcnder of the article left the
town. 4 sample OF his wares was cap
turrd in an east side milk establishment
where it had been lett for trial by the
agent. TO the credit ii the dealer the
bottle was still full. The sample was a
small bottle OF the size used by doctors.
Il reddish brown fluid and
bearing label which assured the willy
milkman that one tra>poontul would
restore 10 gallons OF milk to the color
and consistency Of the richest product OF
a herd OF prize Hosteins. 1t asserted
that the preparation was purely vege-
table compound, absolutely non-detcct-
able in any quantity. This precious fluid
lejoiced in the name OF Laktonc. The re-
suit OF the find on Mr.. McEvillv's part
has caused a great deal OF astonishment
among the milkmen, for while he ha.
always been conscientious in the per-
:ormance OF his duty. the rigid inspec-
ion to which he now subjects all sam
oles OF lacteal fluid makes them wonder
which OF their customers has been pois-
,ncd.
They will be intensely relieved
when they learn that he is only looking
or Laktone.

ALL ABOUT FOUR CENT STRAP
A Case of Petty Revenge on the Part
Ofa Federal Contractor.

A peculiar case of spite work comes to
light with the charge Of larceny preferred
by L. l.. Ivy against Thomas White col
ored. Ivy is the sllb-mail contractor,
who hauls the mails between the railroad
station and the postotiie in this city and
White is one of his drivers. Several
months ago when White was engaged at
s. month and board, he was living in
Virginia and as the money for his car
fare, $40, was advanced by Ivy, the
driver agreed to pay $50 every month
until the amount was paid. The first two
months White received $3.50 each pay
day. and afterthat the payments stopped.
He instituted proceedings before Magis-
trate Pritchctt and got judgment for the
full amount Of the claim.
When it dawned upon Ivy that White
had him by the neck, he cast about for
an excuse to be revcnged on his driver.
1t finally struck him that White had in
his possession a leather strap belonging
t" him, and, clated with the thought OF
getting even with the driver, he sworc
ont a warrant for his arrest. White was
arrested yesterday, and is locked up at
the police station charged with stealing
strap.

secretary, C. d. Willard. the secretary
who has in six years built up in the
west far-sighted and wide-reachirg
institution.
Six years ago the chamber of COM

zation: its quarters dingy out-of-the-
way rooms on Main street; it's debts
$2500; its membership SMALL its infiu-
ence almost unknown. Today the cham
Der of commerce numbers 900 members,
it's income is about $1,000 month, it
has a gurplus of S16,0 and its beau
tiful and luxurious quarters are known
all over the country. Its board of direct
ors are among the most prominent and
influential men in the city, possibly the
most representative body of nlsn in the
community in point of public spirit,
means, culture and experience; men
active In, all lines of public enterprise,
awake to the reeds of the community
and harmonious in the many lines of
work In which the chamebr of COM
merce Is so largely engaged.
To no one may all this advancement
be traced, If not to c. D. Willard, who
has steadily and earnestly sought. since
his election, to make the chamber what
1t has become, the inspiration Of local
improvement, stimulator Of indus

There was great difficulty experienced

The actual details of the alleged Of
fense were so recently unfolded on pre-
liminary examination in the township
court that they will still be fresh in
the public memory.
The defendant Higuera belongs to one
of the old Spanish families. and his de-

that the major portion of his testimony

No Assignncnt Shown

In the case of Carrie E. Ford ct al,

The action was brought by H. A Ford

for alleged violation of a written con-
tract entered into by the defendants for
the sale and delivery of 1000 budded or
ange trees, 500 Mediterranean sweets

The plaintiffs claimed that excepting
a small number, the trees delivered were
not of the varieties named in the con-
tract Ford having died, Mrs. Carrie
Ford was substituted, claiming an as
signment had been made to her before
his death.
The jury returned verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs for $4,000. The failure
of evidence as to the assignment was
one of the contentious for a new trial.
which was denied.
The supreme court says that the plain
tiff, Carrie E. Ford, having been substi-
tuted as plaintiff, not as the personal
representative of H. A. Ford, but as
his assignee, 1t was necessary for her
to prove such assignment, and that there
was total failure of the testimony to
show the assignment. and for that rea-
son the judgment and order are reversed

IMITATION COFFEE

Coffee drinkers may be interested to
know the opinion of some competent
physicians in regard to the use of Pos-
tum. the grain drink, in place of coffee.
Let 1t be understood that the manufac-
turers do not decry the use of coffee by
healthy persons. but there is a great
army Of Intelligent men and women or
the present day who cannot stand the
steady. daily poison of coffee, tobacco
and whisky without feeling the effect
in some serious bodily arrangement.
DIR. F. F. Cassidy, editor of the Medi-
cal Argus, Minneapolis. Mimi, writes,
enclosing the money for a third case,
and is kind enough to add: II fully coin
eide with your views in regard to the
use of coffee ard tobacco by neurasthen-
ics (nervous patients). I am using Pos
.tum every day ard am greatly pleased
with IT,
A great many people who are not
keenly sensitive in their coffee tastes
state that Postum tastes so much like
coffee that they do not notice the diff
ference when 1t Is served at breakfast.
The makers do not claim. however.
that it has exactly the same taste as the
finest coffee.
It has exactly the same color, and is
just as piquant and pungent in its taste
as the finest Mocha coffee. but the taste
is distinct and belongs to Postum alone.
1t is made by the Postum Cereal COM
pany. limited of Battle Creek, Mich, and
it Is not an imitation of any drink. but
stands on it's own footing as a wonder
fully palatable and delicious table
drink, thoroughly healthful and nour-
ishing. and Is made strictly of the grains.
II is impossible for anyone to judge OF
the perfection of the product without a
careful personal test of it,
There are thousands of people using
Postum. the health coffee, in place OF
coffee. and who have been benefited in
their health to an extent that commands
their esteem and warm friendship for
Postum.
