suitable man for the position and
since that time solicitation has
come from every section of the
Forth District and Mr.. Wallace
has yielded and will make the
race.
The Sentinel takes special
pleasure in making this announce
ment as Mr.. Wallace is a home
man. He was born and raised in
Winn parish and has lived here
all of his life. The voters of
this parish are familiar with his
whole life, against which nothing
can be said that would detract
from his personal popularity.
Mr.. Wallace is self-made man.
By hard work and close applica-
tion he has risen to the front
rank among the legal fraternity
in his home parish. He is a
young man. but has proved
himself possessed of unusual
ability in his profession. He was
for a number of years clerk and
attorney for the Police Jury and
it was through his advice and
assistance that the Police Jury
was enabled to make proper
and satisfactory grades of the
value of the different characters
of timber lands in this parish.

Every Man His Own Brewer.

A Wisconsin chemist says he
has discovered a method whereby
IL man can carry around in vial
$50 schooners of good beer.
According to reports, he has
produced Il liquid which is 11,000
times stronger than the very best
beer that can be produced.
All he will say regarding his
discovery Is that it is an alkaloId
from hops $500 times stronger
than the malt now made from
the best barley. When this fluid
is combined with water the con-
tact produces an instantaneous
fermentation, forming 31-2 per
cent alcohol, which is the quantity
found in the best quality of beer.
The advantage of this is that
one could place a small vial con-
tanning one ounce of liquid in his
vest pocket and thus be constantly
supplied not only with indefinite
quenchings Iof a personal thirst
but also with enough treats to
popularize the meaniest man in
any community.
The Wisconsin chemist thinks
he will make a fortune out of the
politicians alone; but the brewers
haven't taken to the woods yet.

The Board of Aldermen has
granted franchise toJ. S. White
& Company to pipe gas into town.
The Sentinel is glad to see some
one take hold of this matter, but
the Aldermen should consider
the matter of franchises with
great deal of care. The promis-
cuous granting of franchises BY a
municipal corporation is often
regretted when too late.

INTERESTING
MEETING
Local Experts Discussed Subject of
Pure Milk Last Evening at CONNER.
cia Club Rooms-Many Dairymen
Present Who Gave Their Views.

The discussion of the problem of
pure milk was taken up by the Com
mercial club at their meeting last
night, several interesting facts being
brought by the speakers. Professor
Brannon of the university was the
first speaker and dwelt at length upon
the presence of bacteria in milk, how
1t got there and the methods of pre-
venting the same. He recommended
the grooming of cows, keeping the I'D
der clean and cleanliness about the
dairy or barn after the milk supply
has been obtained
Dr. H. H. Healy. secretary of the
state board of health, dwelt upon the
spread of tuberculosis and it's. preyen-
ton. Pure milk, has much to do with
the public health and disease is spread
through the use of milk infected with
disease germs.
AT the present time," he said, "it
seems the best we can do would be to
pass an ordinance making it unlawful
to sell milk in the city of Grand Forks
which has been obtained from COWS
not found to be free from tuberculosis
after thorough inspection and testing
by an expert. OF course, there are
other products from the COW, princi-
pally butter, which is almost as likely
to carry the disease germs as milk. II
would perhaps be impossible, at this
time, to. pass an ordinance covering
butter as we'll as milk for the reason
that butter being more stable arti-
Gle. can be and is easily shipped long
distances. However, If we cannot
make conditions as perfect as We
would wish, let us do what we can and
pass a milk ordinance, then get 10
work and create sentiment In favor
OF state inspection law, with the
hope of getting one passed at the next
session of the Legislature"
DIR. Woutat, city health officer, took
the position that there were difficulties
In the way of taking legal action owing
to the fact that there was no state
law to enforce milk inspection, but
favored the passing of city ordinance
making 1t necessary for dairyman !

the farmers co-relatfve to surface and
tile, drainage or whatever 1t is de-
cided is for the best interests of the
various sections by the experts, How
and when to drain must be accom-
panied by the demonstration that it
pays to drain even the poorest lands.
Legislation is needed, dividing the
state into districts which will be of
a convenient size to govern and boards
appointed and the matter handled
much as school districts are handled.
The Importance Of cooperation must

ers. What benefits one man FARMS,
benefits them all in a given section or
perhaps the entire valley.
The farmer must be taught to- be
