General Washington and Mr.. Jeffer-

Suter was q Scotchman and import

PAPER MILK BOTTLES NOW
Our Mountain Forests to Furnish
Pulp for the Making Of Recep-
tacles for the Milk Dealer.

Another raid has been organized on
our mountain forests. states the
Brooklyn Eagle AS IL the pulp
mills were not already devastating the
hillsides and drying up our water sup
ply rapidly enough, genius in Phila-
delphia has patented paper milk bottle.
and has ten machines which can
manufacture 10000 Of these bottles each
in day. The paper milk bottle Is to be
made from spruce pulp and spruces
grow at the top of the mountains, the
very sources of our streams The argu-
ment for the paper milk bottle Is that
as each bottle will be used but once the
milk will run less danger of contamina-
ton from germs in glass bottles, which
may or may not be washed clean after
using. No doubt there are chances for
germs in the glass bottles In every day
use, although in comparison with the
lack of cleanliness of the ordinary dair-
les from which milk comes objecting to
the reuse of milk bottles Is like the
Scriptural straining at gnat and swal-
lowing camel. The sidesof the paper
milk bottle are to be held together with
glue, and glue has as many possibilities
of infection as would come from hastily
washed bottles.
The fact is that the Philadelphia man
probably believes that he can make pa
per bottles cheaply enough to replace
the glass ones and that he merely uses
hygienic arguments to bolster up pusi-
ness proposition. This is the age of pa-
per as unmistakable as other ages were
Of bronze or gold. The making use Of
paper pulp are being extended contin-
ually and the addition of milk bottles
would be only one item of increase in the
consumption. As long as newspapers
continue to grow in popularity new ma
terials for paper will have to be found.
The use of wood pulp has gone far
enough to show the urgent necessity Of
a far-reaching and effective plan for re-
foresting hillsides stripped to feed pulp
mills.

FASHIONABLE NEcKWEAR.
The Tailored Stock Is Now in Style
and Taffeta in White and Del
icate Shades Favored.

Manufacturers of neckwear are not
anxious TO test new ideas on the public
when old ones have proved SO success
full, and 1t is a noticeable fact that
many of the lines which are now being
made up very closely follow the pre-
vailing styles in summer neckwear
and Vary principally in the material
OF which they are composed. At the
present time they are strongly fea-
turing tailored stocks, many of which
are made with the tab fronts.
Taffeta silk in white and delicate
shades is used great deal for the
plain tailored stocks Many taffeta
silk collars show braided effects, put
on In artistic scroll-work designs and
have the silk cut out underneath, pro-
ducing an openwork effect. This to
some extent Is seen on the fall lines
so far displayed.
Joined with fagot stitching are being
shown. These are edged with Renals-
sance lace and come in a variety of
patterns showing a short tab. The
lines which sell well early In the sea-
son are composed chiefly of tailored
effects, although there Is always a GER
tain call for fancy neckwear. which
this season will to considerable ex-
tent take the form of jabots. The
heavy call for this particular line Is
felt around the holidays.

grabbed a mouthful of dads ample
pants and shook dad till his teeth were

pants and all. Dad gave her dollar for
rescuing him. and what do you think?
Say, she pulled an old stocking of money
out of her bosom and counted out 80
cents In change and gave 1t back to dad.
and only charged four cents for saving
his life, and that couldn't occur in any

they would take the dollar and strike
him for more.
