Farmers Advocate.
 When the food value of milk Is consid- cred it is remarkable that 1t Is not more largely used by those who have the faoil- ities for producing 1t at first cost. Com pairing Its flesh, fat and bone forming qualities, and the average price at which it Is sold, with other foods on the market the advantage is largely in its favor Nothing to be found on the farm Is more easily digested than pure, sweet milk. It Is natures combination for growing ani- mals, arranged in the proper proportion. In an average sample. we find almost 4 per cent. of protein, or lesh-forming sub stance; per cent. of carbohydrates. or starchy matter; almost per cent. of fat. and one of mineral matter. consisting chiefly of phosphates and chlorides of potash, lime and soda.

COMPLIMENT TO VISITORS.
National Fraternal Press Association
at Banquet.
fe5- g, tn, 90

The National F'raternal Press Association
was given a complimentary banquet last
evening at the Riggs House. The banquet
was given by Washington Division knights
of the Loyal Guard, and was in honor Of
Edwin o. Wood Of Michigan, who Is SUI
preme commander-in-chief OF the Loyal
Guard and also president Of the Nat1o1el
Fraternal Press Association. About sixty
guests were present, including number
of ladies' The Loyal Guard is one of the
few fraternities of the country which ad-
mits ladies to full membership.
Alexander Scott of the patent office, cap
tain-general Of the local division, was toast
master, and after the banquet was over he
called on number of the guests for
speeches. President Ed. O.. Wood ex-
Speaker G.. j. Diekema of the Michigan
house of representatives, who Is prom
inent candidate for governor of Michigan,
and others made interesting remarks.
A. E. Stevenson Of Chicago who is chair
man of the ladies' committee of the Ma
tional Fraternal Press Association made
an excellent speech. in which he spoke of
the rapid development of the Knights of
the Loyal Guard, and of the fact that the
order admitted ladies to full membership
and had many on its roster. He also al
luded to the occasion for the present ses-
because Of the necessity of calling on pos
tai authorities and others relative to the
admission Of fraternal publications as Sec
ond-class matter. He said: 1T Is plainly
miscarriage Of justice that newspapers
of sensational character are allowed to
pass unquestioned through the mails, while
fraternity publications which were devoted
to the family and circulated in the fam
lilies should under some conditions be de-
MED equal privileges.
Among the guests present were President
Wood, w. r. Spooner of New Jersey, E. j.
Evans of Des Moines, Representatives H.
H. Aplin and s. w. Smith of Michigan, G.
J. Diekema, John Fitzgibbon, F. H. Rankin

TAX SALES QUESTIONED.
Applications for Cancellation Received
by Commissioners.

Since the sale of property bid in at the
public sale by the District Of Columbia was
recently begun the Commissioners have
been called upon to consider many appli-
cations for cancellations Of the tax deeds
thus issued. the applicants basing their
claims upon various foundations of fact or
law. Thomas R. Wells of 427 H street
southwest has applied for the cancellation
Of the sale of a lot owned by him to c.
H. Wiltsie, January II last. In reporting
upon the case the assessor, Mr.. Darneille,
says a tax certificate issued in 1899 omitted
mention of the 1890 tax, which was unpaid.
Mr.. Wells makes affidavit that he pur-
chased The property upon the faith of this
certificate. .f-
Under act Of May 13, 1892, relating to
taxes and tax sales" says Mr.. Darneille,
collection Of this tax should be barred as
to any purchaser subsequent to date OF GER
ttficate In question However, on January
II, 1903. the Commissioners issued a deed
for this property for the tax in question to
Charles II. Wiltsie. This deed was exc
cuted under the apprehension, that the Dis
trict Lad valid lien on the property, which
1t now transpires it did not have. If the
Commissioners have authority to cancel
this deed l recommend that they do SO;
that the purchase money be refunded ac-
cording to law, and that the collection Of
the tax for 1890 be barred as to any pur-
chaser subsequent to certificate dated De-
cember 2, 1899"
The Commissioners have not yet acted
upon the matter and will probably refer 1t
to the corporation counsel.
Another question in connection with the
tax sale and the issue of another deed to
Wiltsie last month, has been called to the
attention Of the Commissioners by ]. Nor
ril Chamberlain attorney for John Wells.
He requested cancellation of the sale of
certain property for 1885, 1887, and 1893
taxes. Defective advertising was alleged.
Mr.. Darneille, the assessor, in reporting
on this case, says the advertisement for
the taxes of 1886 and 1887 read for part of
lot 49, and were insufficient. The adver-
tisement for the tax of 1888, however, read
part Of lot IL, being the south twenty
three feet" which advertisement was cor
rect. The Commissioners executed deed
January II to Wiltsie for this property for
the taxes mentioned, which theIc assessor
says precludes further action on the part
of his office. This question will also prob
ably have to be referred to The corporation
counsel for adjustment ~
The Mr.. Wiltsie mentioned in these two
cases is the representative Of Rochester,
