GIVES WORD OF ADVICE
HEALTH OFFICER WOODWARD
DISCUSSES MILK SUPPLY.
Deaths Among Infants Ascribed to Use
Of Impure Article-Precau-
tionary Measures.

The annual slaughter Of the innocents
seems to have set in last week, five deaths
having occurred among children under one
year OF age all due to diarrhoeal diseases"
said DR.. w. c. Woodward, the District
health officer, today. Probably all of these
deaths were due to bad milk" he continued,
and were preventable A word of caution
TO the public may, therefore, not be out of
place at the present time. Until producers,
dealers and consumers of milk understand
that milk once contaminated can never be
cleaned and that the danger from such
contamination while it may be lessened by
keeping the milk cold can be prevented only
by cooking or partially cooking it, the long
list of deaths of infants which occur each
year from summer diarrhoeas will continue
to appear
Milk is contaminated about the stable
by dirty cows, dirty mixers or filthy
methods of milking. 1t is contaminated
both on the farm and in the hands of the
retail dealer by d rty premises, dirty uten-
sis. and to less extent by dry en-
ployes. And finally milk in the hands of
the consumer not infrequently undergoes
further contamination by careless handling
in the home.
While it is of prime Importance that
milk be kept clean from the moment it
leaves the COW until 1t is consumed some
thing can be done to diminish the danger

The danger referred to arises from the
growth in the milk of bacteria of various
Kinds and these grow best in the presence
OF more or less heat. Producers, dealers
and consumers of milk must therefore,
even though they believe it to be free from
Infection keep it cold not only for the pur-
pose of preventing souring but also to
diminish the danger of sickness which
otherwise may result from it's USE
Boiling of Milk Recommended.
Where milk has not been kept cold I'D to
the time it is received or where 1t cannot
be kept cold afterward it is better that IT
should be brought to or about the boiling

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAIL.
ROAD LAYING DOUBLE TRACKS.
Increased Transportation Facilities Be-

Details of the Construction.

With the completion of the construction
work now in progress on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad the passenger and freight
transportation faciLdes between this city
and Cincinnati. Ohio. the western terminus
of the road, and between Newport News
and Richmond, Va, WILL 1t is claimed, be
greatly increased and improved Aside
from the expense entaied In the present
work 1t is estimated in official quarters that
not less than 81 100000 will be appropriated
from the receipts during the coming year
for the building of additional branch lines
and the further improvement of the main
line.
The work of double tracking the system
is said to be progressing in satisfactory
manner. The Chesapeake and Ohio by
agreement, is to bear one-third of the ex
pense of double tracking the Southern rail-
road between this city and Orange, Va, rs
1t is over this section of the Southern that
the Chesapeake and Ohio gains entrance
into this city. When this latter work is
finished more than one-half of the entire
distance of the road between here and Gin
cinnati will be doubled tracked. All such
work of that system calls for the best rock
ballast and ninety pound rails. Each of the
latter is inspected with the utmost care
and subjected to test of great pressure.
Rains Have Interrupted Work.
Reports received by Mr.. William S. Bron-
son, assistant general passenger agent, are
to the effect that 5000 workmen are now
engaged in various extensions in West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, all of which are ex-
pected to be completed and IN operation by
early fall. Recently the company has en-
countered great difficulty in performing this
work on account of the heavy rains.
The extension work includes the Cabin
Creek coal branch twenty miles in length,
meeting the main line at Goldberg, w. Va;
the Lays Creek coal branch, also twenty
miles long, to meet the main line at Thur
mond, and the Big Sandy branch, forty-five
miles long, running from White House 10
Brakes of the Sandy, Kentucky. This work
is being done at an aggregate cost of
IS, 100000.
The double tracking of the system be-
tween Newport News and Richmond, Va,
over which large portion of the products.
of the west are transported to the Atlantic
coast for expectation to Europe. has just
been commenced. 1t is stated that the dou-
BILE tracking of this division of the system
will average $1,000 a mile in cost.

the negotiatOrys decline to discuss the
results OF today's meeting, but general
statements by them that the situation
tonight warrents hope OF early relief il
significant OF what has been accomplish
ed in the last "a hours.
BY this time the London, Berlin and
Rome Foreign Offices are in possession
OF Mr.. Bowen's third proposition, stat
ing the nature OF the guarantee he il
prepared to offer for Venezuela II his
initial request it complied with and the
blockade raised at once Strict reti
cence is maintained by all the negotia-
tors as to the nature OF this guarantee

received thiF will not be discussed.
Count Quadt has been advised by the
German Foreign Office of the response

with that cabled by the Associated Press
from Berlin.
Mr.. Bowen, and also the state depart
ment, are greatly impressed with the
attitude of the representatives in
Washington of the allies throughout the
present negotiations While acting at
all times under instructions from their
Foreign Offices, they have expedited
matters greatly by their eirstraightforward
manner OF dealing with Venezuela's
representative. This fact has especially
appealed to the Washington officials,
who, while not participating in the
preliminaries, necessarily are vitally
interested in their results. Although
Germany is sending a special envoy here
to conduct the negotiations for her,
Minister Bowen has taken occasion to
express his absolute satisfaction with
the the manner in which Count Ouadt
has represented the government. The
German ChaTga, OF course, has been act
ing under instructions from Berlin, but
the point was made today by Mr..
Bowen and the officials Of the Washing
ton Government that the activity of
Germany's representative from the day
OF Mr.. Bowen's arrival, and judgment he
has shown, has done much to aid in
bringing about the ultimate solution of
the trouble.

In the early days of Colorado the
bench of one of her circuits was pre-
sided over by an ideal frontier jurist,
ramed Geary. No squarer man or
clearer-headed lawyer ever graced the
ermine, but he was unconventional to
a degree that would have shocked an
eastern community. When the wealth
er was very warm, his Honor presided
in his shirt sleeves, and his judg-
ments while generally just, and in
accordance with precedent, were not
always delivered in the stilted phrase
ology which characterizes judicial ut
terances in communities less wild and
woolly than Colorado then was.
Before Leadville was discovered, and
before the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad Company had swung it's
aerial road bed with steel bars to the
side of the Grand Canon of the Ar
kansas, and while all that section of
Colorado was unoccupied by man,
party of emigrants were showed in,
near the summit of the mountain.
There came into the military reserva-
ton, nearest to this snow-bound sec
ton, one day in early spring, man
who called himself John Packer. He
told a horrible story. He said that
early in the preceding winter he was
one of a party of seven or eight men
who became lost in the SHOWS. They
camped and made comfortable shell
ter, but their supply of provisions after
a few weeks, gave out. Packer, who
was the most experienced hunter in
the party, went one day to try and
find a deer. Returning late in the
afternoon without success he was met
by a German, who was a member of
the party. The German was flourish
ing a Ratchet red with blood, and
pointing to the bodies of the other
members of the party, proposed to add
Packer to the list of his victims. Pack
er finding that he had to deal with
determined lunatic, and seeing no
other way was open, ana acting IN
self defense, shot and killed his as
sailant. Packer admitted that for the
remainder of the winter he had sub
sisted upon the bodies of his COM
panions.
Packer was taken to the military
hospital and a party was dispatched
to the scene of the tragedy. Before
their return Packer recovered and not
being detained was found missing one
morning. A few days later the mill
