DISAPPEARS FROM HOME
Henry Beck's Friends Uneasy Because
of His Protracted Absence

Henry Beck, a baker, forty years old, who
lived at 327 10th street southeast, disap-
peared from home four days before the find
ing of the dead body on the farm of Col
Frey, near Beltsville. He has not yet re-
turned home and his wife fears he is dead
The suggestion was made that the body
found near Beltsville might be that of
Beck. 1t is said that he had something the
matter with his right index finger, which
was similar to that of the dead man, but
the hair of the dead man did not answer the
description of that of Beck. Beck has dark
hair, while that>o the man whose body was
found in the woods was sandy, mixed with
gray.
Nothing additional has been heard by the
police concerning the body found in Mary
land But little interest is being manifested
by the police concerning the disappearance
of Beck, as he stated before going away
that he was expecting to go to New York
to work. He took with him a supply of

BACTERIA IN MILK
Standard Established by Com
nilsson Here.
DIR. WOODW ARDS VIEWS
IN LETTER TO MAN
AGER OF A BROOKLYN COMPANY.
Not Enough Known to Definitely De-
termine How Large Number May
Be Found Without Inquiry.

How many thousands of ba Cteria may be
contained in a cubic centimeter of cows
milk and the fluid remain healthy? This
question is now puzzling the advanced
dairymen of the country and the health Of
ficials of the various municipalities. Some
dairymen claim that milk containing 10000
or 5000 bacteria per cubic centlmeter is
Just as healthy as that containing 2o.Ho
DR.. w. c. Woodward the District health
officer, agrees with various milk commits
sons which have declared that milk con-
tanning higher number of bacteria is more
likely to contain harmful germs than milk
more free from the organisms. DIR. Wood
ward declares the milk commission organ
lied in this city has settled upon a stan
dard of 10000 bacteria as the maximum in
milk to be sold under it's supervision.
Since the publication last week of DR..
Woodwards statement as to race muir
der" which term he applied In cases where
mothers wilfuly refuse to nurse their
babies. or where improperly prepared milk
is given to babies under any circumstances,
the health officer has received number of
communications asking for information and
advice. One of these has brought up the
question of the number of bacteria permis-
sible in healthy milk. The letter writ
ten by John Campbell, manager of the
Alexander Campbell Milk Company. Brook
lyn, n. Y Mr.. Campbell says he was much
interested in DIR. Woodwards statement as
to race murder" and some of the causes.
Your statement says he, 's certainly
startling, and will set many a mother think
ing. l have taken much interest in milk
and the manner of it's production and dis
tribution, and have always concluded that
next to mothers milk, milk produced by
and drawn from healthy COWS is the best
substitute. There has been much talk and
a great deal written on the question of bac-
terra and how much per cubic centimeter
should be shown in milk drawn from cows
in perfect health and properly fed Opin
ions differ very widely this from the
fact that the little animals grow with such
rapidity from thousands to hundreds of
thousands when the temperature changes a
few degrees.
For myself / believe that such milk
showing l0.ND to 5000 bacteria or even
more, is just wholesome that showing
21.Hn to 10000, providing the milk is pro-
duced from the same herd and cared for
and bottled alike. There is such diversity
of opinion that / am sometimes amazed to
know just who is right. | do not believe
that the milk should be sterile: think the
best authorities are agreed upon that. 4

Cheaper Production
Of Turpentine.
New Method of Tapping Pines
Bring a Larger Yield and
Better Grades of
ROSin.

Turpentine operators will be
furnished soon, by the Bureau Of
Forestry, with a circular of in.
structionS and with personal help
for the use of the new cup and
gutter system Of turpentining,
which has been proved so sue
cessful. The experiments Of the
Bureau of Forestry, at OciIl?,
Ga, conducted by DR.. Charles
ii. Herty. have shown the great
superiority of the cup and gutter
system over the old method of
boxing pines Trees treated by
the new system have yielded %
per cent more turpentine than
boxed trees. Moreover, only the
highest grades Of rOsin were pro-
duced. The increased yield for
the first year alone has been
found sufficient to pay for the
new equipment and to furnish "a
profit besides. An advantage for
the timber owner to consider is
that the cup and gutter system
does away with the injurious box
and thus lessons greatly the
damage done to the trees.
The superiority of the new
method of turp entining is SO evi-
dent that many operators who
are acquainted with DR.. Herty's S
experiments are eager to adopt
i. Several potteries for the
manufacture of earthen cups
have been established; ina short
time the new system will prob
ably be in general use through
out the turpentine belt.
To make the benefits Of the
new method directly available
the Bureau of Forestry, besides
issuing circular of instructions,
offers without cost, the assistance
Of DR.. Herty. will personally
direct in the field the installment
of the new system.
