colorlna Dairy Products.


Creamery men in Pennsylvania have
oeen in state of excitement recent
ly on account of the discovery on the
statute books of an old law forbid
ding the coloring Of dairy products.
They want the law repealed and the
restriction allowed to remain only in
the case Of oleomargarine. An ILL
n.,is creamery man is out with letter
il, favor of national law prohibiting
tie coloring of butter and cheese, and
this letter has further stirred up the
men that believe In the use Of color
ing matter. We fail to see any good
reason for the continued use of COL
tring matter in either butter or
cheese. BY its use neither flavor nor
food value is added. In fact, much
OF our farm-made butter is without
'tificial cOloring matter and it is fully
az acceptable to the people that use
II as If 1t contained coloring matter.
In the interest Of purity in dairy
products we would like to see the en-
tire abandonment OF the use Of arti-
icial coloring matter. 1t is simply
a fad, and must disappear sooner or
later. Its abandonment would do
away with one of the most annoying
factors in farm butter making.

THE TEETH AND GOOD LOOKS.
Importance Of Keeping Mouth in Good
Condition.

Condition.
Prof. E. Symes Thompson, Gresham
professor of medicine, in the course
of an address at the Polytechnic, Re
gent street, on "The Evolution anG
Degeneration of the Teeth" remarked
that while the bones of man and ami
mails had decayed greatly during the
past 5000 Or 1000 years, the teeth had
been preserved in much better con-
dition. Teeth were not part of bones,
but part Of the skin-they were, in
fact, dermal appendages. Old people
we're surprised to find that when the
teeth of the lower jaw departed there
was very little of the jaw left. This
produced what was called the nut
cracker physiognomy. Referring to
the fact that the crocodile had an an
imated toothpick in the form of a
bird, which removed foreign matter.
the lecturer enforced the lesson of
the necessity OF attending carefully TO
the cleansing Of the teeth, and rec
commended attention to them at night
as being more important than in the
morning. In these modern days, he
said, no chance was given to the
tooth, because everything was cooked
for man, and that was the cause Of
the deterioration of our teeth in mod
ern times. Bad teeth, Prof. Thompson
concluded, destroyed good looks

he SOLD THIRSTY" BEER,
How an English Publican Made HIS
Customers Want More.

A publican who was fined R5 and
costs for adding green copperas to his
beer at Marleybone, says q London

t9lG to have done so for the purpose
of making his customers thirsty. His
name was Thomas Sands and until re
Gently he carried on business at West
bourne Park road, Paddington.
Mr. Hawkins, who prosecuted. said
that two inland revenue officers visit.
ed Sands house and took samples Of
his beer. The porter was found to
contain green copperas in the proper
ton of twelve pounds to barrel.
1t had since been suggested that the
copperas was used to make the beer
frothy, but the revenue authorities
knew nothing of that method and it
was impossible to suppose that twelve
pounds was necessary for the pur-
pose in barrel.
DO you suggest the consumer is
any the worse for the addition?" said
Mr.. Plowden.
1T would have the effect Of dis
guising the taste of the beer and leav-
ing the throat and mouth of the con-
sumner dry, so that customers would
be induced. to buy and drink more"
replied Mr.. Hawkins
Mr.. Plowden said he considered the
real object was to promote OIL the
part of the customer a passionate de
sire for another glass. No publican
could hope too strongly for thirsty
customer, and if he could keep the
thirst going his source of income was
inexhaustible 1t was very ingenious
device, but it was hardly the way to
retain custom.

The Farm Cow.

The real butter maker of the coun.
try Is the farm COW whose milk never
goes to the creamery. This COW is
least often heard from, because she
Is less in the light of public observa.
ton than the cow that is producing
milk for the creamery. Yet, the total
amount of butter made on farms in
the United States is far greater than
the amount made in creameries.
So our greatest hope still lies in
the COW that gives milk for the max.
ing Of farm butter. The spirit of i'm
provement is abroad and there are
multitudes of farms on which good
cows are taking the place of poor
ones. It is impossible to estimate
how great this improvement is. A
farmer that has thirty cows said to
the writer last week. my cows made
go pounds OF butter last month
(March) and think am doing pref.
ty well, as only 20 Of them are giving
milk that can be used for butter.
making. That is about q pound per
day Of the cows giving milk, and we
have the by-products to help swell the
profits
That mans herd six years ago was
doing only half as we'll as ne above
statement would indicate, but the man
has been selling his poorest cows and
replacing them with good ones right
along.
Up to the present time the good
farm cow has not been appreciated,
and for this reason her price has
not been much above that of the poor
farm cow. But change Is going ON,
and the time is not far distant when
so many farmers will be looking for
profitable COWS that the extra mixer
will bring fancy price at any time
Of year.

AUSTRIAN IS FOUND
DEAD IN BED
Ward County Homesteader Dies
s from NaturalS Causes in the
Southern Part of the County
Had BeenE Dead Several Days
When Found.'

Daqns Rhue, living % miles
south of Minot, sec. II, 1912,
was found deao in bed Sunday by
a neighbor, Mic Poetosa. The
man had been dead several days
and evidently had died from
heart failure. Poetosa was
alarmed when he opened the
door of the shack to see the man
lying on his back, with his feet
crossed and his hands resting
naturally on his breast. His
face looked disfgured, and this
led the man to believe that his
neighbor had been shot. He
walked to Minot, arriving here
Monday morning, and informed
Coroner Windell, who. with the
public administrator, J. j. Coyle,
left Immediately for the dead
mans cabin. A coroncr's in
quest was held and it was de-
cided that the man came to his
death through natural causes.
He had been i'll for some weeks.
The body was brought to Minot
Tuesday evening and buried in
the potter's field.
Rhue was an Austrian, 45
years old, had 20 acres of fine
crops and considerable personal
property. His farm and prop
erty will be sold to pay the
debts, and If any money is left it
will go to the state.
