Mrs. Mayhrick's release comes just
fifteen years after her conviction. Her
release reyives interest In America
and Great Britain in the famous Grim

Mrs. Maybrick herself, her mother,
the Baroness de Roques, and host OF

on her innocence of the charge of muir
dering her husband, James Maybrlck,

pealed from Aylesbury prison to the
English authorities for a reinvestiga-
ton of her case, and new trial at
which the evidence gathered by hel
friends and suppressed in 1889 could

So far the lack of court OF criminal
appeal in English law has proved an
insuperable obstacle to the attainment
of this object. while the Incarceration

Greatest Secrecy.

The greatest secrecy was thrown
about Mrs. Maybrick's departure
Mother Superior Julian of the convent
said to a representative Of the Assocl.
ated Press that under her instructions
she must refer all inquiries to the
home Office.
At the railroad station orders were
issued forbidding the employees to dis
cuss Mrs. May brick or even to admit
that she was at the convent.
The litcle town has taken deep inter
est in the international figure. Crowds
daily stood at the iron gates Of the
grounds, waiting for Mrs. Maybrick to
appear. but they were rarely rewarded,
she going out only when the road was
reported clear.

from the udder to the cream vat. This
indirect effect from pasteurizat1on
should commend it's introduction as
much to those interested in pure milk
and dairy products as the direct adj
vantages gained from it by its capa-
city of destroying germs. Possibly IN
time some other means may be found
to obtain these purposes, but until
then proper pasteurization is the only
practical method as far as dairy pro
ducts are concerned.
Personalities in Milk and Cream
Never Permissible.
After DR.. Wileys condemnation OF
borax it is needless to say that the
use of any chemicals in milk for con-
sumption is absolutely criminal. Even
in countries where the use OF chem
icals is permitted in other dairy pro-
ducts, milk is the only article except
ed. Strange to say, cream has not
been considered of equal Importance,
though it is so commonly used fo'
children and invalids. The cream
trade, especially for ice cream, is very
uncertain and changeable, and fire.
quently large quantities of cream are
held in stock, and bOrax, formalde-
hyde, etc., are freely used for its pres
ervatiOn.

New Milk Fever Cure.

A short time ago the department
of agriculture at Washington, u. o..
issued a bulletin, in which 1t outlined
a new remedy for the treatment CT
milk fever. Heretofore, the best rem
edy has been what is known as the
Schmidt treatment, which consists or
injecting a solution of potassium TO-
dide into the udder. While this meth
cd usually gives good results, it has
been found that the cure which it eff
fects is not due to the iodide, but
rather to the air that incidentally
gains admission to the udder when the
solution is injected. After the vet
Urinary profession became convinced
of this fact, a new method where no.
thing but sterilized air is used was
evolved. Briefly outlined, the air
treatment is as follows:
AS soon as it is discovered that a
cow is suffering from milk fever, In
fate her udder with sterillzed air;
then bandage the teats so as to pre-
vent the air from escaping; leave the
udder inflated for from to hours,
and Immediately it has been inflated,
gently knead all the parts OF the udder
for about Is minutes. After hours
have elapsed remove the bandages
and work the air out; in most 1nstan-
ces. the COW will be cured after the
first treatment. In some cases, IL Is
necessary to re-inf1ate for another per-
iod of or hours. The important
thing to note in the use of this remedy
lis that the air must be sterilized.
Dr. G.. T. Waterman, of the Michl-
gan agricultural college, recently des-
,cribed a simple piece of apparatus
suitable for sterilizing the air for this
treatment. He advises the use of
tin tube about one inch in diameter
and six inches long. Such a tube
may be made by any timer, but care
should be taken to have the inside
smooth, that is, any necessary seams
should be on the outside. A piece OF
bicycle tubing of the same size may
be used with equal advantage. Into
each end of the tube insert cork
