Milk and Cream.

When milk is SKINNED or watered,
the fluid is of thin blush color. To
cover this defect, which would at once
reveal its inferior quality. coloring is
resOrted to. This may be known by
letting the milk or cream stand in a
clear glass, say twelve hours, and then
noticing the wateTy and creamy layers

or the same shade as the cream, ar
ti1cial ColOring is indicated Cream low
or deficient in butter fat may be de-
tected in a similar way. A little vine
gar added to the heated cream or
milk produces a curd in a distinct
orange color if an aniline dye has
been employed to give the milk or
cream an apparent richness. If cara
mel or annattO have been used the
curd will have a brownish color The
curd of pure cream or milk should be
nearly white.
Keep the milk or cream in warm
place for fOrty-eight hours. If the
sample Is still sweet at the expiration
of this time, a preservative is strongly
indicated.

Ice Cream.

Ice cream should contain a reasona-
bic amount of cream, which gives the
proper richness. Instead of cream
milk thickened with gelatin or corn
starch Is often employed. To detect
the presence of starch. add to a little
of the ice cream a few drops of tine
ture of iodine. A deep blue color is
instantly developed if corn starch or
-four is present. This test is equally
applicable for the detection of corn
starch in cream or milk.

Spices.

Spices own their value 10 Coustitu-
ents. which, as d rule, are characters
tically prominent to the odor and taste:
hence, these two physical tests are val

RApruM IN MEDICINE.

as Asserted
Wild claims have been made regard
ing the efficacy OF radium emanations
as a oufe-all in therapeutics, and on
the other hand the reaction against its
use has been from time Go time equally
violent The contribution of DR. Myron
Metsenhnum to tho Medical Record re-
garding the known medical value of
radium is therefore timely and OF inn
portance to those interested in It's use.
The writer bases his conclusions upon
an exhaustive survey OF medical litera-
ture on tho subject and two years clini-
cal experience with the substance, and
offers the following conclusions:
"That lupus responds promptly to the
action Of radium, and that this result is
/ obtained as readily as with the Finsen

suits seem permanent That small al

OOAL PRICES
First Circular OF the Year Received To-day
From the Operators.

First Circular OF the Year Received Today
from the Operators.
The first coal price circular for the
year 1906 was received here today. IL
is dated May Sth. and was issued by
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Co. 1t shows that the prices Of
coal are exactly the same as those Of
a year ago and reads precisely the same
as the circular Of that date.
The reduction is 40 cents, as it was
on the schedule Of 1905, and it is ex-
pected that the prices will advance 10
cents per month wholesale, as it has
done in the past.
The local dealers are in a quandary
and they do not know what to say, as
they have held no meeting to de-
termine what action they Will take,
but have informally discussed the
situation and will arrive at some con-
clusion in the matter by tomorrow.
No general agreement upon the price
of coal was reached at the meeting
Of the Philadelphia Coal Exchange,
held in the Bourse yesterday after
noon.
The rules Of the Coal Exchange do
not permit the fixing Of the price of
coal, but by the exchange of opinion
general understanding Is usually
arrived at. There was no chance Of
this yesterday, however, as some deal
ers declare that they had paid as high
as Sc. 80 for the coal they now have in
their bins. They also claimed that
some of the coal they have received
lately was in bad condition, and that
in sorting it out they sometimes sus-
tanned a loss of as much as 35 cents
per ton.
The question of accepting the coal
from the reserve stock was also dis
cussed, but no action was agreed
upon, it being left to the individual
dealer to fight this phase Of the situa
tion out with the mining companies.
