because both are equally and unquali-

The Milk Crusade.

Secretary of State James A. Rose
has announced his intention of aiding
the authorities in the crusade that is
being waged over the state against
da1rymen who sell adulterated milk.
Where companies are incorporated for
conducting a dairy business, and are
found guilty of either selling milk that
contains an adulterant or is found to
be below the standard as set out in
the pure food act, Mr.. Rose will bring
the matter to, the attention of Attorney
General Will lam H. Stead for the pur
pose of instit 1lting proceedings compell-
ing such &C operations to show cause
why their :harters should not be re-
voked
This ann 0uncement of the secretary
comes as result of the war now being
waged by The pure food commissioners
against tn vendors of milk and cream
that is sold in violation of the pure
food act. lin many of the cases already
investigate it was found that some of
the deal ers used formaldehyde, or some
other pre-; sentative, and others sold
milk that did not contain the required
amou-lt of butter fat

An odd Tug of War.

Screw prepellers. like most other ill.,
ventions. had great difficulty in getting
recognition from authority. For in
stance, Sir William Symonds. surveyor
and principal designer to the British
admiralty. could not be brought to be-
lieve in them. He declared that steam
ships of any sort were ''monstrous'
and that the screw was impossible.
The day came when choice between
paddle wheels and screw propellers
had to be made. The naval authorities
tied two ships stern to stern, and when
the screw propelled vessel had tri-
umphed over the paddle steamer in
this ludicrous tug of war the lords of
the admiralty felt justified in model
ing the British navy anew.
