The Demand for Pure FOOd--PubliC
 Opinion Aroused.

New York, July 14.-CSpecial Cor respondence of The Republican, That the summer of 1906 will be memorable for the expression of public opinion, in general demand for a guarantee of the purity of the food supply, no intel ligent person can doubt it.
 Every late magazine has an article on this subject, and day after day the prominent metropolitan papers have editorials and news articles concerning the movement which is of vital inter est to every family in the land. PURE MILK THE FIRST DEMAND.

 the lives of infants. as to provide a police force to prevent murder and ! other crimes.

 tion.

 II GAIL BORDEN AND HIS WORK. II Just about this time Gail Borden.
 after a long and seemingly hopeless Y fight against all sorts of obstacles, had | succeeded in obtaining patents here | and abroad for his process of conrens- |! ing pure cows milk in a vacum by Y removing a large portion of the water
 which it contained. and sealing the re-
 mainder in alright cans so that is re- II mained pure and wholesome under all . conditions for an indefinite period. and | could be practically reconverted to it's i original form simply by adding pure | water to suit individual needs
