WORK BEGUN ON BRIDGE ELEVATED.
Williamsburg Structure Will Soon Be Con-
nectcd with BROOKLYN Line.

Work was begun yesterday to connect the ele-
waited railroad In Broadway. Williamsburg. with
the Williamsburg Bridge. in order to relieve the
intense congestion there. When the crowds who
daily cross the bridge were their way to busi-
ness yesterday they were startled 10 find a gang

later the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will

this is done the railroad company will have com

PREFER RAW MILK.
Hard Blo5cs for Pasteurisation at
Academy of Medicine Meeting.

Milk was the topic discussed at the New York
Academy of Medicine last night Professor II.
w Conn. director of the meteorological labora-
tory of the Connecticut State Board of Health,
was the first speaker.
THE vast majority of bacteria in milk. as in
everything else perfectly harmless he
said The bacteria in milk. especially the
Tactic acid bacteria, are useful. as they prevent
the growth Of harmful organisms They make
the cheese and butter
Then the Connecticut professor said that tu-
bercuIosis typhoid fever. diphtheria, scarlet
fever and probably cholera infantum and other
intestinal troubles, communicated to
babies and adults by cows milk. Dairy inspec-
ton, he said. a safeguard against, but not
a preventive of the diseases named.
'Pasteurization is the only method by which
we can guarantee that milk is free from tu-
berculosis and typhoid fever germs" said Pro-
fessor Conn. For pasteurzaton to be effective
it must be thorough. Thorough pasteurization
destroys Tactic bacteria and leaves others alive;
therefore If milk is to be pasteurized it must
be consumed quickly"
DR. Mary f. Pennington. of the bureau Of
chemistry, United States Department of Agri-
culture Washington. the next speaker. She
declared that people did not care to drink pas
teurized milk. She then told story of a fam
lily that said the pasteurzed milk they were
being served with tasted fiat The milkman
played a trick the complaining family. He
filled four bottles with the pasteuriZed milk
one he allowed TO remain untouched. The others
contained unclean milk. Each member declared
that the dirtiest milk tasted the best.
From which the speaker concluded that per-
sons preferred dirty milk TO milk free from bac
teria They liked milk with a "cOwy' taste
The COW said Or. Pennington. should he cur
ried every day. just Ike a horse.
DR. George w. Goer health officer OF the city
Of Rochester, said that the milk supply should
be kept clean at all hazards even TO the state
owning the dairies.
During the discussion that followed. Mayor
Brush Of Mount Vernon said that scarlet fever
does come from a COW. The COW. he snid.
is a dirty animal and dairy inspectors should
be veterinary surgeons.

Skunk Honer Philosophy.

Moscow Journal: An apology is when
you explain you are sorry someone
found out what you said about him.
Although folks say they don't care
what other people think about them,
you notice they don't eat onions when
they are going to party.
The man that says life isn't worth
living always gets the doctor up in the
middle of the night if he eats something
that disagrees with him.
Uncle Bill says the first year a man
has automobile he wants everybody to
buy one like it, and the second year he
wants everybody to buy the one he has.
Uncle Bill says that he knew man
that stafted out to say just what he
thought, but stopped after he had been
licked the tenth time in one day.
Ma says when man gets clean
shave he smirks around as if he ex-
pected everybody to tell him how hand
some he is.
Some day the girls will have contests
for the olive-eating championship.

Boston Traveller: Some bilious king
or prophet in the Old Testament says:
"All men are liars, an assertion which,
while it does not carry conviction, Shows
us that there were Roosevelts before
Teddy. A liar, as we understand the
term, IS man who does. not agree
with US, and when he is able to prove
it, we call him liar with a string of
adjectives. There are many liars in the
republic; some are in jail, some are in
office, some arg in State and Wall
streets; the only places where they are
unknown are the newspaper Offices and
the White House. Unkind people hint
that there are liars in the great and
general court; but Johnny Cole and the
lobby say this is distortion of fact and
much exaggerated. Lying, after all, is
matter of taste and opinion, some
times it is called imagination, poetry,
history, exaggeration, art, fiction, etc.
When man borrows five from you and
says he will pay you Tuesday that is
poetry; when broker says Sucker
Creek Preferred is worth 47-that is
imagination; when two hundred pounds
of tights and shopworn voice are
called star-that is exaggeration, for
all that is needed to make it candle
are wick and match; and when a
man comes round with discolored eye
and hoarse voice and says he bumpet
into the doorknob-t is art and
whiskey.
The liar is the man who not only irri-
tates you, but proves it and gets away
with the goods. The English language
is not resourceful enough to describe
him; or US.
Ananias is wrongly held up as a typi-
cal liar; her was nothing Of the kind; he

Naming the Next Republican Ticket.

Some political prognosticator down in
the national capital tells the public that
Roosevelt is going to name the republi-
can ticket in the 1908 campaign, and
that Taft will be at the head with Gov
A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, in second
place. There is every indication that
Roosevelt will do Nothing 81 the kind
Gov, Cummins is a tariff revisionist
and, while mahhy of President Roose-
velt's utterances have been construed
by progressives to mean that he is in
favor of readjusting tariff schedules, his
public acts prove that he is stand-pat-
ter. At the Oyster Bay conference last
fall the president opposed making the
tariff an issue in the last campaign;
his influence in the Iowa campaign last
fall was on the side of George Perkins,
a stand-patter, and Gov. Cummins' OPP
ponent in the pre-convention campaign,
which was the hottest ever held in Iowa
President Roosevelt said nothing about
the tariff in his regular message to con-
gress, indicating, in his mind, that the
tariff is dead ISSUE In filling the fed,
eral offices in Iowa the past winter, not
Cummins man was chosen.
Oh, no, feller-President Roosevelt
wouldn't name Cummins if he could.
And it doesn't look like he is going to
be the one to name the ticket, either.
The tariff question is quite live ques-
ton. The progressive idea has strong
following. Politicians who owe their
positions to those who contributed most
to the campaign fund may try to kill
the tariff issue by ignoring it, but the
scheme wont work. In the national
convention there will be nut-cracking
that will not be one-man affair, and
if the mill doesn't turn out two parties
instead of one it will be regarded as the
most wonderful piece of mechanism of
the ags.

The Kansas City Packer insists that
''the Hepburn rate law has been in
operation nearly eight months, but high
refrigeration and freight charges are
still maintained, the car shortage con-
tinues to prevail, and the interstate
commerce commission hearings are daily
occurrences without molestation. In
the meantime the shipping public has
learned with fervent thankfulness that
the soil may be enriched with the de-
cayed fruits and vegetables that never
went forward"

Not So Foolish.

Charles w. Towne, a Boston news
paper man who possesses more wit
than is attributed to the average Bos
tonian, has published dictionary that
has been termed a foolish dictionary,
but which at the same time contains
many proverbs of sound common sense.
The author advises, for example, that
"a word to the wise is useless" and
gives out few other proverbs of that
nature! AS to his definition of words
here are few that may be of some
interest:
Appendicitis modern pain costing
about $500 more than old-fashioned
stomach ache:
Bigamy-A form of insanity in which
man insists upon paying three board
bills instead of two.
Chauffeur-A man Who is smart
enough to run an automobile and clever
enough not to own one.
Collector-A man whom few care to
see, but many ask to call again.
Conference.-The fear Of beng found
out.
Echo-The only thing that can cheat
a woman out of the last word.
Golf-An excuse for carrying con-
cealed weapons and a Scotch breath.
Hug-A roundabout way of express
ing affection.
Intuition-A fictitious quality in
femafe-reaily suspicion.
Jury Twelve men chosen to decide
who has the better lawyer.

is the worst abused man in history;
What Ananias and Mrs. Saphira did
was to place a low valuation on their
personal property when the assessors
came around; and the assessors being
efotffiers aid iiitick-rakErs made a
boiler; and A. and S. went down and
out and into history as liars. We 90
hot call Hndefvaihstion lying today; we
call it prudence and business; and if the
assessors get fussy we move into an
other town about May first. The time
has come when Ananias and Saphlra
should be reLabilitated and set right
before the world; for if the principle is
once established that we must open up
our books to City Hall, most Of us will
BIZ liars and all of US bankrupt. Anan-
las was all right; he was a gentleman
and scholar, and good judge of real
estate.
The term liar is rude, vulgar, vocifer-
Gus and undignifed; pugilists and presl-
dents may use it and get away with 1t
for obvious reasons; but in our richest
and newest society it is either euphem-
lied or tabooei, and liar is either a
poet Or & romancer, just as 4 thief is d
promoter or financier: This is as it
should be; and under the healing infiu-
ences of time and the advanced ethics,
Ananias will take his place with Solo
mon, Herodotus, Lawson and other pub
lie benefactors and altruists; and mem
bership in the Ananias club will be as
honorable and exclusive as in the Som
erset and the Tapeworm clubs. More
over the gaiety of the age and the
intellectual demands of art and litera-
ture require that the liar should be en-
couraged, no matter under what name
we do it.

A banker in Canada was arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of five years, all
within "a hours, because in statement
he exaggerated the amotfnt loaned by
the bank on mortgages by S646, 900, and
understated the liabilities by about
81, 900, 600. Justice that is swift and
sure is the only safeguard for society:
Walsh, for instance, should be thankful
that he was not tried in Canada.

MAKE A BLUFF.

If there isn't any pleasure
Waits for you beside the way,
If there's not thing to grin at
In your journey day by day,
If you've got excuse for kicking
And for stirring up row,
Don't you do it. Don't you do it!
Just be happy, anyhow.
just be happy, just be happy;
Take the fiddle and the bow,
Smuggle it against your shoulder,
Timber up and let her go,
All the world is full of music
And there's JOY in every string,
Till you get all outdoors laughing
And you make the echoes ring.
It's duty you are owing
To the world to shake your feet,
And to life your voice in singin'
Till the music fills the street;
If the world is dark and gloomy
And you haven't got friend,
It's your duty to dissemble,
It's your duty to pretend.
If you meet the world a-grinnin',
Then the world will grin at you.
You can laugh the clouds to flinders
Till the blue sky glimmers through;
If you just pretend you're happy,
With your whole heart in the bluff,
Then, almost before you know it,
You'll be happy sure enough!
