The Glendale Creamery

This is evidently one of those institu
tions that is standing refutation of the
statement that creameries don't pay.
July 20 the total amount distributed
among farmers for milk supplied during
June was Sl564 and it was divided
among one hundred and forty-four pa
irons. The amount paid out for May
milk was over 81 900.
During June only about $50 was re
ceived for butter sold to local trade
nearly the entire receipts Of the cream
cry coming from New York, a nice little
sum TO be brought in from outside. Nc
butter has been sold during the last
three months for less than eighteen cents
per pound, which is certainly an excel
lent figure for the time of year.
One man received $3.50 for hauling
milk to the creamery in June, which
meant $3.50 pounds, or nearly twenty
six and half tons of milk hauled dur
ing the month. The milk supplied by
Mrs. w. w. Scott during June returned
her over s41, and Seth Frisbie received
over S104 for his contribution of the
lacteal fluid. Charles Ray Snider has
one COW that earned 57.73 during the
month"; very profitable gait if kept VI
during the year.
The present receipt of milk amounts
to over seven thousand pounds per day
which will doubtless provide a hand
some dividend to the shareholders, be
sides making very gratifying return tC

IN oLDEN TIMES.
Many Things Were Dfnerent-Nowa-
Days the Public PrOfits by
Experience.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates a barber shop was en-
ployed 10 let the public know where
cupping or blood-letting was profes-
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence, not the easy re-
moval of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face, but close
shaves from entering eternity. More
than one unfortunate entered the bar
ber surgeons doorway To leave il a
corpse or so weak that weeks were re-
quired 10 get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from heartache TO
corn, and a pain in the loins was in
variably treated with two incisions, or
on each side of the spine. Like plastSS
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shay
ing parlor of Niles, Mich, lived in the
time of George III. of England, in
place of taking the course he did a
short time ago with his back, blood-let-
ting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble:
Mr.. Wilson says: MY occupation
has, very likely, much TO do with the
cause of my backache from which
have suffered considerably for num-
ber of years. Standing on ones feet
some days IS hours is hard on the best
of backs, but when you have pain across
the loins, with lameness and soreness,
everytime you move the muscles of
the arm, long, long, before your daily
task is over you often wish you could
go to sleep. / tried everything to bet
ter my condition, but was unsuccessful

Grape Food as Medicine.

The grape fruit is becom ne popular
for spring breakfasts since physicians
have assured US Of its medicinal quail
ties for the distressing complaint
commonly known as spring fever.
According TO one Of these physicians,
who speaks it's praises, the pulp OF this
fruit is nutritious. and the juice con
tains sugar, tannic acid, bitartrate of
potassium, tartate of calcium, com
mon salt and sulphate of potassium.
without doubt the woman who culti-
Yates the habit Of eating a great dea! Of
fruit is the gamer OF health and ap-
pearance. The grape fruit, or shad-
dock. so called from its d.scoverer
Lieutenant Shaddock, or To mention i,s
soft Chinese name, pumelO Is highly
priced by those who live in malarial To-
calit.es. II Is a charming rival 20 qui-
nine and boneset, and is driving Them
from the field.
She who eats her grape fruit with a
spoon from the natural cup, or rellshes
il served as a salad, may gladden. her
heart with the reflection that she Is not
only pleasing her palate, but benehting
her health. Like oranges and lemons,
the grape fruit has great medicinal
virtues.
If YOU are Of a bilious temperament,
eat grape fruit; II fever threatens, eat
grape fruit, but in this latter case do
so only at the advice of a physician, as
there may be certain tendencies with
the grape fruit would only aggravate.
The complaint is often made that
this fruit is extremely bitter and un-
pleasant. 1t is only the white inner
rind which is so, and this should be
carefully removed.

course it should have been at South Ha-

there's mighty little else in the county,
anyway.
At South Haven, pressure in the water
mains gets so low during the day it will
not rise to the second story faucets in
business blocks. Such condition was
responsible for a considerable damage i'm
Nj. III. French's store. A second floor
tenant had tried to get water and failed,
but did not shut the faucet The pres
sure increased during the night, flooding
the premises.
The pay roll at the Round Oak stove
works in Dowagiac now amounts to 81,
600 per day. This is for wages of en-
ployes at the factory alone, and does not
include the Office force salaries. Fifty
tons of iron are melted daily. This means
an outlay of over $1,000 per day for this
part of the factory's necessities. The
yearly expense account is now close to
the million dollar mark.
