Butter Starts the New Year
Quiet and Steady.

How Extra Creamery Has Ranged tn.
Cheese Observation-Disclosures of Desir
able Fresh Eggs
Boston, Jan. 4.-The new year opens
with a quiet and steady butter market
The demand for several days has been
very light, and all that seems to be
wanted is little fancy, fresh creamery
which is in light supply. But receivers
are not urging sales at any concessions
as they expect that trade will improve
later on. and that all the good butter
here Will be wanted at about presen,
rates.
The ruling prices are 2o1a to 81 cents
Tor choice, fresh creamery, northern and
western Fancy lots Of Vermont and
New Hampshire, with new milk flavor,
run up to 2lR cents, but these are hard
to find, and offered in small way. For
most of the butter on the market 20 to
Il cents. is full selling price in large
lots.
The range, for choice, cold storage
creamery is 10 to 1912 cents, but there are
some under grades that could be Thought
for less. Some holders still ask 90
cents for the finest held butter, and a
small lot of northern fall was sold at
q cents on Monday. But, as usual at
the beginning of the year, the situation
on all kinds of held butter is somewhat
uncertain, as its sale will depend chiefly
ON the receipts of fresh, and it is hard to
say what a few weeks will develop.
There has been moderate jobbing
trade, with no change in prices. The
range for choice, fresh creamery is %
to "a cents. with light supply of very
fine stock
The following table gives the range of
prices fractions omitted) of extra cream.

Blood

If the blood in sufficient guam
tity leaves the body because of
a wound or hemorrhage of the
lungs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to all
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What if these nutritive e1e-
ments are absent?
What if they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs?
The first result is disease-par-
tial death. The final result is the
same as from loss of blood.
All disease is traceable to i'm
purity or weakness of the blood
and that is the reason the
