City a series of milk booths where
pure sterilized milk is sold to the
poor for one cent a bottle. Absolute
antiseptic cleanliness is required by
him in all branches of the enterprise.
In cleansing the milk bottles he uses
two things-hot water and BORAX

Mo- DANCER Of Myxe donna Now.

lherc Is Il widespread and inSatla-
BILE demand for paper money today
throughout ali parts OF this nation,
says the Chicago Inter- Ocean. Peo-
Pile who were denouncing the green
back n few years ago are now calling
loudly for II. People who were con-
tlemnlng Initiation few years ago are
now insisting that the medium of cir
culation shall be greatly increased
Moreover people who were only n
few weeks back disnclined to handle
paper money in the least degree soil
ed will now take any kind of paper
money and place 1t In their secreta-
ries, mattresses, behind their pictures,
under their rugs. and even in their
stockings.
The question is: Is 4, not as well
that such people snoul. be compelled
to give sixty days notice that they
should he compelled to get along on
20 per cent. cash, that some of them
should be forced to handle nice new
checks altogether? II SENS so and
for this reason.
A man has just died In New York
from nothing In the world but the eff
fecls OF handling paper money. He
had handled paper money for so long
time. and had handled so much of 1t.
that he contracted myxedema. dis
ease which finally got into his blood.
impaired his circulation, and killed
him.
Now, this disease, myXedema, Is pc
cullar to good times. Nobody ever has
myXedema in bad times. You get myx-
edema, If YOU get 1t at all. only at such
times as YOU are able to go to the
bank and say To the paying teller in
just what denominations you will have
your bills.
The chances are only one in q mil
lion that YOU will ever contract the
disease as long as the paying teller is
able to tel you how you have cot to
take them, or that YOU can't have them
at all. - sgj5W
And here is just where we are safe
guarded in these times. We are pre-
vented from contracting myxedema by
reason OF the fact that The flow of
currency has been checked for the
general good
Let us, then. instead of complain
ing of existing onditions-instead of
srumbling because we have been
forced to accept 20 per cent. or to
give sixty days notice, or to take
-checks-let us, instead OF Worrying
ourselves and others because we are
not permitted to carry our usual roll
Of bills, be thankful that this seeming
deprivation protects us from infec-
ton. and perhaps saves us from the
tatai effects of myXedema.

NEGLECTED BAYBERRlES.
limo Was When tho Crop Was Eager
ly Harvested.

Years ago when the first frosts had
come Connecticut people went out to
pick the lunches OF bayberrIes to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic
smell of the leaves that the plckers
crushed In pulling of.
We no longer pick bayberrles for
company candles for the winter time
Except Il few romantic souls who gath
err berries enough to make Il candle or
two for old memories, u few faddlsts
who want to Try TO make bayberry can
dies by some discovery or other In n
magazine and some stanch old New
Englanders who love TO get out in the
pastures on II crisp fall day-these are
all who gather the bayberries now.
Left to themselves. the clumps OF
bushes have sprcad out and in some
cases overrun whole pastures. In some
pnrts of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tail.
In Branford. on the const, there are
almost bayberry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall and some even taller. These
bayberries must he very old. You can
not help wondering how many crops
have been picked off them in years
past.
AS early MS iii the town records
show that the gathering OF bayberrles
ON the highways and common was for
hidden before Sept. 10. A fine of 10
shillings for each violation was the
penalty 1t appears that the wax from
the berries was used in making a
backing and n salve and that bayberry
wax continued an article OF trade In
Branford down to the last fifty years
Human nature being about the same
one century to another. there was
probably In I'LL great complaining
of people W no picked the berries "bc-
fore they We're half ripe" or "got up
mornings before anybody else had n
chance" hence the regulation and the
fine.
But what brcathless, hurried bay
berry picking II must have been the
morning of Sept. 15!-Hartford Cou-
rant.

The following telegram was sent to

ATTEMPTED TO GET IN
GOLD LADEN EXPRESS CAR
Young Tried to Steal 100000 In the
Freight Yarda of the Reading
In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 2O.-Charged
with making n daring attempt to rob
car on the Buffalo Express contain
ing gold bullion while the train was
standing at the Reading Terminal.
William A. Hewitt, 325 west Fifteenth
street, New York, has been held in
heavy bail for further hearing.
The train had been made up and
was scheduled to leave at $40 d. m.
by way of the Reading railway and
the Lehigh Valley. One OF tho ex.
press cars contained 100000 in gold
bullion. which was being shipped by
the government to Buffalo.
A yardman while at work on n
track adjoining the one on which the
express train was standing heard a
peculiar grating noise and on investi-
eating. he says. discovered Hewitt un-
der the bullion car at work on a gas
pipe with saw. The yardman gave
the alarm and Hewitt was pursued
through the station. He was caught
before he could escape in the crowd
of Christmas shoppers on the street
About the same time Hewitt was
discovered the lights in the car went
out, and an examination of the gas
pipe showed that it had been punctur-
ed. AL the hearing the police exhib-
tied the saw left behind by Hewitt
and section OF the gaspipe. The po-
lice say they are working on the the.
| DRY that Hewitt probably expected to
enter the ca rafter he had extinguish-
ed the lights.
Hewitt is believed to have been as
sisted by accomplices and the police
are looking for two other men. His
bail was fixed at $4,000. He is said
TO have been employed about the sta
ticn loading express cars. and was ia
miiiar with the practice of the United
states Express Company In shipping
