NECESSITY FOR CLEAN MILK.
Sentiment Growing in Favor of High
Grade Product.

Whatever may happen in Denmark,
there is strong possibility that pas
teurization is not to come into great
favor in this country during the pres
ent generation. The ordinary Ameri-
can prefers his milk raw rather than
cooked, and the physicians largely
agree with him. In New York city a
great deal of antagonism has devel-
Oped against the use by infants and
invalids of pasteurized milk. We
doubt if there is any good grounds for
the contention of some physicians that
pasteurized milk is not healthful, but
the prejudice will count for the same
in discouraging the pasteurizing of
milk. In New York city the board of
health tried to get through an ordi-
nance compelling the pasteuriZation Of
all milk used in the city, but the al
dermen sidetracked it, the influences
against it coming from physicians.
Many of these seem more ready to
have their patients take their chances
with germs of typhoid fever and scar
let fever than with a milk hard to
digest So far as we know there are
no evidences that pasteurizing milk
Cat temperature of 155 to 165 de-
grees) raises it to a high enough point
to make it take on the character of
cooked milk
In the face of this prejudice, which
seems to be growing, it becomes very
necessary to produce milk on the
farms under such conditions that it
may be safely used. The reading, in
telligent farmers are already doing
this, but how shall influences be
brought to bear on the men that never
read an agricultural paper and never
appear to care whether they produce
clean or dirty milk? 1t is evident
that the only remedy lies in prevent
ing the dirty milk being sold.

FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES.
Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow
Minded New Yorker.

Oklahoma amazes an easterner The
wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass
fronts of department stores, the clean
sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried
shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan
air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex-
ample, seem marvels to find in a ter
ritory only II years old. But do not
say so.
A New Yorker who went there on
business complained that fate was
thrusting him into a wilderness, and
his Oklahoma associates could not re-
assure him. But coming down to
breakfast the first morning, at his
hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared
around in wonder as he entered the
dining-room.
This he exclaimed, "this is Okla
homa!! Why, do you know" conf
dentially, Il even found a porcelain
bathtub in my ROOM
''Wen,'' said an Oklahoman, drily,
don't you have those in New York;"

Say! IL you're a man and weigh In
the neighborhood of 225 pounds, most
OF which is in the region of the equa-
tor, you will appreciate what it means
to lie on your back in an upper berth
and try to get your shoes off.
And this goes double for the man
who weighs more than 225 pounds.
Every time I reached for my feet
to get my shoes off, / bumped my
head off, and the more I bumped my
head off the less I got my shoes off,
and the less l got my shoes off the
more l seemed to bump my head off,
so | decided in order to keep my head
on had better keep my shoes on also.
Then / tried to divorce my sus-
penders from my shoulders, but just
as got the suspenders half way over
my head l struck my crazy bone on
the rafters, and there was, suspended
between heaven and earth. but pray
ing with all my heart for bottle Of

Then l decided to sleep as nature
made me, with all my clothes on, in
Guiding my rubbers.
So | stretched out, but just then the
train struck a curve and / went up in
the air till the ceiling hit me, and
then l bounced over to the edge of
the precipice and hung there, trem-
bling on the verge.
Below all was dark and gloomy, and
only by the hoarse groans of the
snorers could | tell that the Pullman
company was still making money.
Luck was with me, however, for just
then the train struck an in-shoot
curve which pushed me to the wall,
and | bumped my head 80 completely
that | fell asleep.
When | woke up small package of
daylight was peeping into the car, so
] decided to descend from my cup
board shelf at once.
l peeped out through the aluminium
curtains, but there was no sign of the
colored porter and the stepladder was
invisible to the naked eye.
The car was peaceful now with the
exception of gent in lower No. 4,
who had a strange hold on a Beetho-
ven sonata and was beating the
cadenZa out of it,
l made a short prayer and con-
cluded to fall out, but just then one
of my feet rested on something solid
SO / put both feet on it and began to
step down.
Alas, however, the moment put my
weight on it my steppingstone gave
way and fell overheard with splash.
How dare you put your feet on my
head?" yelled the man on the ground
floor of my bedroom.
Excuse me! it felt like something
wooden" / whispered, while l dashed
madly for the smoker.

been able to look Pullman car in the

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, com
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him a laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be architecturally perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is not if there is not closet room
enough.

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. | had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought l would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before I had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,

THE GREATEST CROUCH.
Good Story of Dean Swift, Told by the
Man Who Ate Asparagus Stalks.

Perhaps the greatest crouch of lit
erature was Dean Swift, that whimsi-
cal misanthrope, who evinced a NOR
bid delight in humiliating his social
interiors, because he himself, when
young, had been outrageously affront-
ed by his superiors.
Swift had acted as private secre-
tary to Sir William Temple. Once,
when Sir William was confined to his
bed with govt, the king, William III,
visited him, and Swift officiated as his
majesty's guide through the gardens
of Moor Park. The king taught the
secretary how to cut asparagus in the
Dutch way, and Swift had also the
felicity of seeing him eat the vege-
table.
Years afterward, when Swift was
dean of st. Patrick's cathedral in
Dublin, his publisher, Faulkner, called
at the deanery on business connected
with some proofsheets. Having been
detained until near dinner time, he
him. Asparagus was one of the vege-
tables, and the guest asked for sec
ond helping.
Sir" snapped Swift, pointing to
Faulkner's plate, first finish what you
have upon your plate!"
What, sir? Eat the stalks?" asked
the astonished publisher.
Aye, sir; eat the stalks, or you'll
have no more! King William always
ate his stalks added the dean in his
most imperious manner.
Whereupon the meek Faulkner,
yielding to the deans will, ate the
stalks most submissively.
Shortly after the deans death,
Faulkner was relating the incident as
an illustration of Swift's insolence.
And you were silly enough to
obey him." asked some one.
Yes" replied Faulkner, "and let
me add, sir, that if you had dined
with Dean Swift, you would have eat
en- your stalks, too"

Bad Roads Come hinh.

1t costs the farmers of this country
$29 ,000,0 900 to haul their corn crop to
market, and $22,0O0,000 to get the
wheat crop to the elevators. For haul
ing IL of the principal products of the
farm to the market places it costs
farmers $73,0OO,0 00-millions, please
understand. These figures are made
up by government experts. Trolley
lines will in a few years reduce this
cost materially and good roads will
lessen the cost still more. When the
roads are in such condition that two
tons can be hauled in one load instead
of 1900 pounds, the saving will be
enormous. Is there any reason, then,
why farmers should not do everything
they can to get good roads?

used to drink coffee but l finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then l have drank coffee and
both times 1 passed sleepless night,
and so l am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-

MY brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and l
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach.''
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
