Mike" is no more. BY way of eX-
PLANTATION it might be said that Mike
was the Boston terrier owned by Ar
thur McCauSland, driver of CushnOc
hose, and a well-fnoWn habituc Of the
fire station on Bridge street Mike
ceased to exist, as James O'Neil was
wont to say in Monte Christie, .
Wednesday noon. the Immediate cause
of death being inhalation of chloro-
form. Mikes life among the fire fight
crs was short, but it was an evcntful
enc, and it was to the raptlity with
which the events followed one another,
and the seriousness of their ma ture that
his untimcly demise was due. Literal
ly speaking, Mike was ''all broken up"
In his brief existence of about a year
at the hose house nc was run over by
the heavy hose wagon no less than
five times, not to mention his being
stepped on by the horses. His first ac-
Cidcnt was Of this kind, and his tail
was split, so that it had to be ampu-
tatcd, but that was not so serious as
good constitution took him through
several scrapes in fairly good condi-
ton, but nature can't stand everything
and after repeated grinding under
wheels ard hoofs, Mikes interior de-
partment was so badly disarranged and
he was 50 generally used up that it
was deemed best to chloroform him.

Letter to Willard Aver,

Dear Sir: There are several ways
of cheating in milk. An old-fashioned
way is to water it. Nobody waters it
now. A better way is to take out the
cream-rich milk with the cream taken
out is as good as poor milk with its
cream all in.
But we needn't so into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your
customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat
with. Good paint is as rare as good
milk: for human nature is much the
same in milkmen and paint men.
You are just and true with your
milk; so are we with our paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is twice as good
as mixed paints: There's twice as
much butter in it.
Mr.. J. T. I4add, Cheraw, S. c., writes
When Mr.. Evans painted his Mouse with
Deyoe Lead and Zinc. he figured on the
basis of your claim that gallon will cover
$40 square feet, two coats he had enough
left to paint three large rooms, and was
so pleased that he has used Devoe Lead
and Zinc on two other houses.
Yours truly.

typhoid may be contracted by one per-

tact with the patient, the principal
danger turks in the water Thoroughly
cleanse the water we drink and extermi-
nate the germs existing in it and the
best half of the battle against the dis
ease is won.
"The distribution OF the sickness over
the entire city shows conclusively that
eontagion is not at fault. but the danger
comes from some other point most un-
doubtedly the water. OF course the dis
ease can be transmitted through milk
coming from an infected district, but
even then the germs would have their
origin in the water"
