 Elnathan Mitchell, of Washington, who has been sending milk to Bridge port for the last nine years, has been increasing his interests very largely in that city. The people of the city have been very much troubled with poor milk and the doctors and health offic- CTS have recently been very much in- terested in the plant which MT Mitch ell has been putting up in the city. One of the Bridgeport papers says that the principal feature of the plant in which the health officers were most interested was the sanitary arrange ment- They were shown bottle-wa sh- ing machines which SCOUT the interior and exterior of the bottles, and at the same time cleanse the wooden cases holding the bottles. After this the wooden cases, the bottles, the pipes from the apparatus, the strainers and all utensils which come in contact with the milk are stored in a big steam room where the temperature is kept up to nearly POO degrees. This method sterilizes the utensils so that 1t would be suicide for the hardest shelled bac- teria to venture into the place.

A NATIONAL POLICY
CON BARTHOLDT FAYORS 1T
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Makes an Address to Prominent Busi-
ness Men Favorng the Policy Of
Issuing Bonds-Would Spend Five
Hundred Million Dollars to Improve
Our Great Waterways.

Congressman Richard Bartholdt of
st. Louis declared recently in an ad-
dress before business men, bankers
and large shippers of ST. Louis for a
national policy of issuing bonds for
international improvements, especial
ly waterways.
"Slnce the civil war;" he said,
every great question which has di-
vided political parties has been a busl-
| ness question. We have a right to
conclude that the party is most likely
TO succeed which is most willing to
champion the cause of general vel
fare by promoting the most important
| business policy ever before the coun-
| try. The chairman of the committee
on appropriations, Congressman Taw-
ney, said in an interview at Chicago
the other day: international water
way improvements can not be expect
ed until our appropriations for the
army and navy are lessened or special
taxes are levied
IF our government is to enter up
on a policy favoring systematic in
ternational improvements a regular
annual budget would be necessary for
that purpose the same as for the army
and navy. Perhaps we shall live to
see the day when that will be done
under a readjustment such as will no
longer permit our military and naval
budgets to expend two thirds OF our
revenues. For some years to come.
am afraid such a readiustment will
be impracticable.
mo one will contend that 1t is any
thing but a question Of money We
may well ask whether the project to
secure navigable channels from the
lakes to the gulf, from the upper Mis-
sissippi, the Missouri, the Ohio and
the other rivers. shall wait until an
income tax or an inheritance tax shall
have yielded sufficient revenue to pay
for them. We would say no.
IAN issue Of . of per cent bonds
to the extent Of $500.000,000 to be dis
tributed over a period OF say 10 years
will suffice to complete great river
projects and solve the problem of the
permanent Improvement or our great
waterways 1t is my Judgment that
IL cannot be done in any other way.
and If the gentlemen here think well
of IL l will introduce a bill to that
effect.
mo American has dreamed Of oh
iecting to the Panama canal. though
this is an enterprise for the whole
world. Why. then, should there be
any objection to an undertaking
which is Of particular benefit to the
United States? AS matters stand the
chances for the great and important
projects are almost hopeless. and will
remain so as long as we must content
ourselves with the crumbs that fall !
from the national table when the pie |
Is being distributed to the depart |
ments."
