nc, no railroad could possibly afford
to have refrigerator cars enough TO
send them out over all the other
railroads as it would have to do. to
take the place of the present private
car system, and no railroad would
undertake to be responsible for prod
ucts shipped in its refrigerator cars
over other lines and the consequence
would be that the producer would
find it impossible TO get cars when
he wanted them and also impossible
to place any responsibility for the

we always carried a luncheon on the
expeditions. and IL was not the least
interesting part of the occasion. Girls
who fell below certain percentage in

very honorable and precious, and we
held 1t as something worth striving for.
The study OF astronomy captivates
those who have a scientific turn OF
mind. To learn the names OF the con-
stellations and To recognize some of
the planets when they appear above tho
horizon is not beyond any ordinary
mind. but the study of astronomy Is. on
the whole, too abstruse TO be attractive
to very young girls. Definitions and
formulas you may learn. but to grasp
the principles of astronomy you require
maturity and insight: for these you
must wait. But you need not wait to

COLoRING I'M MILK.
Utah Food Commissioner Tells How
II May Be Detected.

There are several ways. according
70 John Peterson, food commissioners
o. Utah. in which the presence OF col.
oring matter in milk may be detected
If an aniline dye has been added to
give rich, creamy appearance to
thin, blue milk, little vinegar mixed
with the milk, after first heating the
latter, will produce curds of dis
tinctly orange hue If caramel has
been employed the curds will turn
brown with the addition of the vine
gar. Whenever milk or cream is al
lowed to stand in clear glass bottle
for II hours or more 1t will separate
into watery and creamy layers. If the
lower layer is yellow it is a proof OF
the presence of artificial coloring of
some sort and whenever milk or
cream is kept in warm place for fS
hours, and still remains sweet, IL is
pretty safe TO assume that a presarv.
ative has been used. In fact the
keeping sweet of many an article OF
food under conditions which should
make IT spoil or ferment readily is a
sign that the thing in question has
been tempered with.

said a prominent man in Chicago the
other day.
These gigantic combinations OF
capital and power aim to put every
dollar of the peoples money, every
pound of meat, bushel of wheat, mile
of railroad and every country bank
under control OF the cities.
The cities produce nothing, but
control everything. They would
starve and freeze if It were not for
the country, yet while country people
are busy growing grain and cattle TO
feed the cities. city people have plenty
of time to scheme how to get this
grain and cattle into their own hands
soon as it is ready for market
And they succeed.
THE price of corn, wheat and cat
tie is fixed in the cities. Shipments
of all products are under city control.
Country Money Flows
Into the City RAa,s."
Country money is also under city
control. The country banks carry
their reserve deposits in city banks
They have to do so by law, which
says reserve money of country banks
must be carried in city banks desig
mated Repositories in orders to count
as cash in vault
"Twothirds of the money in city
banks is country money. Thirty-hve
of the fifty billion or so in the Han
over Bank of New York is deposits
of country customers. This ratio
holds good of all.
This money is used to control
Wall street and the trusts.
Insurance money is another of
the three great rivers of cash which
flow into the cities and control the
corporations which control the coun-
try. It's an endless chain by which
the country produces all the wealth
and turns it over to the cities.
The Object of
Rate Legislation.
Legislation aids the cities.
Legislation as to meat, pure food
and all that sort of thing means in
the end only the trusts can do bush
ness. The country butcher can't af-
ford the elaborate plant demanded by
legislation.
THE big concerns are the only
ones in any line that have money
enough to keep quality up and prices
down.
Rate legislation VIII Concentrate
wholesaling by making it impossible
for wholesalers to ship goods from
any except great cities like New
York, Chicago and St Louis, where
the political organizations are that
control congress.
The railroads are the friends of
the country. Not from friendly mo-
tiyes They are as selfish as the rest
of the trust but their prosperity de-
ponds on the prosperity of the coun-
try people. So they build up the coun-
try, settle new fields, stimulate agri-
culture. cattle-raising. manufacturing
and wholesaling, and thus create traf-
fic. The more business and popula-
ton are scattered the better for the
railroads and the better for the coun-
try.
Railroads want legislation that
Will distribute prosperity through the
country, and the cities want legisla-
ton that will concentrate prosperity
in the cities"
