MILK INSPECTOR
HAD RECOURSE
(. M. DUNCAN RETURNS FROM
JOHNS HOPKINS, WHERE HE
HAS BEEN TAKING A SPECIAL
COURSE FOR TWO MONTHS.

e. NJ, Duncan milk and meat inspector
of birmingham has returned from Balti-
more. where he took two months
course In Johns Hopkins, perfecting him
self for making meteorological tests of
milk. meat water and foods.
The city has ordered a large amount
of new equipment for the laboratory in
the city hall, and larger quarters will
be given Mr.. Duncan and his assistant
so that they may be able to pursue their
analyses to greater extent.
In the past the milk and meat inspector
has not been able, owing to lack Of
equipment. to make analysis for germs
able only to give the specific gravity
the amount of solids. water and other
substances in the milk or cream.
In speaking OF his trip yesterday, Mr.
Duncan said:
II have spent the past two months
studying hard and perfecting myself as
far as possible in chemical analysis, es-
pecially for the purpose of making tests
for germs and bacteria In the milk, water
and food stuffs sold in the city.
1--WE had course of lectures from one
of the greatest experts In the country
in this special line of research, and it
was very instructive and interesting. The
lectures were illustrated by practical DEM
onstrations. There was a hospital adjoin-
ing the school and we were in that
way able to get number of specimens
so that we could study them.
II was in the laboratory great deal
and made "a number of experiments my
self under the direction OF the able corps
of instructors.
I'VE will have the new equipment here
within a month and will then be able to
conduct our department on a much more
successful basis than at present and do
more effective work.

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

sIn reply to your letter write you
nv experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, | resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies, We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Matthew, Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re-
port says:
Business during the past week has been
confined principally to small lots for
prompt shipment. Sales of this descrip-
ton have, however, been rather numer-
Gus, and the aggregate tonnage is salts
factory Iron IS moving freely from all
directions, and the consumption is larger
today than ever before. The number of
requests for hurry shipment Indicate that
meters are living on the ragged edge,
and only buying for their immediate
wants. In spite of these facts it seems
impossible to awaken any great amount
of enthusiasm among purchasers for the
second half. Several of the largest con-
sumers have expressed their Willingness
to buy as soon as they can get prices to
suit them, but furnace men are holding
firmly for their schedule quotations. Sew
eral deals for special irons are pending
and will doubtless be closed before the
week is over.
The coke market is decidedly more ac-
tive. Inquiries are more numerous, and
a considerable interest is being shown
Prices are not extraordinarily strong
however and range from 1918 to $3.50
for Connellsville and Wise county prod
uets for last half shipment.

PIG IRON MARKET
STILL VERY QUIET
Only Sales in Small Lots Are
Reported
STOCKS IN YARDS SMALL
Several Furnace Companies said to Be
Behind With Orders-The Coke
Market Is More Active, But
Prices Are Not Strong.

The Birmingham iron market has been
exceedingly quiet this week.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re-
port for the current week follows:
There has not been any marked change
in the pig iron market in this section
during the past week. The tonnage of
orders booked is about the same guam
tity as has been entered during the pre-
vious weeks in the past month A very
large percentage of the furnaces in the
country are now running, and have been
making full output, which they are ship
ping as fast as made 1t is surprising
that the demand has kept up so as to
keep the stocks of iron on furnace yard
at a minimum quantity. We know that
several furnaces are somewhat behind on
shipments, and in each case the buyers
seem to be in urgent need of the iron,
showing that consumption is keeping up,
and they are using the iron bought as
fast as received. There are a number
of moulders out on strikes at different
cities over the country, and If they get
their difficulties settled it will no doubt
have the effect of increasing the con-
sumption over what 1t is at present.
The best Connellsville foundry cokes
at the ovens for delivery during the last
half There appears to be a shortage
of good Connellsville furnace coke, so
that prices on both grades are ruling very
firm at the present time.

Six-year-old Marie is a minister's
daughter, and Christmas. 1904, found
half a dozen dolls under the Christ

six or seven dolls in addition to 9TH

mother, who had the lookahead tenn
perament, resolved to kidnap one Of
the family and put 1t by for the next
year
To all appearances the scheme was
carried through successfully, as no
inquiries were made. So, on Christ

appeared under the new tree. Next

Women in france.

Like the dark ages, almost seems
condition like that in France, for ex-
ample, where a married woman has
no legal right to the money which she
herself has earned. In 1896 the Cham
Der of Deputies passed law doing
women some incomplete, obvious and
tardy justice, but the Senate Commit
tee never made its report. 1t was only
ten years ago, to be sure, that the law
reached its present state in the United
States, eight years in Sweden, seven in
Denmark and six in Germany and Bel
GUM, and yet already any other condi-
tion seems incredible. To-day woman
even in Turkey, Persia, Egypt. Mo
rocco, Tunis, Algiers and Bulgaria has
juster property rights than she enjoys
in highly civilized France, which holds
6,500,000 women who are earning sal
aries or wages. In this matter, as
throughout Europe gener lily in mat
ters bearing directly on human well
fare, 1t is the radical group alone
which are pressing forward toward
the goal of justice and happiness for
the greatest number. 1t is the radical
group alone that seems to care for the
individual at all.-Collier's Weekly.
