Mr.. Joslin says: "The state law re-
, quires that milk shall test at least 35
per cent fat, and cream at least 20 per
cent fat.
On the whole the tests average up
very good, few of the cream supplies
falling below the standard, the cream
testing "a per cent was what is called
whipping cream, but the other sample
from the same party taken from the
stock at the milk depot and what is
ordinarily sold tested II per cent.
''This notice is to serve as warning
to those whose tests were low, to fur
nish better cream or they will be TAX
ing chances of being called upon to 60
before the justice and pay fine.
81 wish to take this opportunity of
saying to the people of Mankato, that 1
think it is high time that the milk con-
sumers should get busy and arouse a
sentiment which will result in better
conditions in the handling of the milk
and cream business of this city. 1t is
up to you to get interest enough awaken
ed so that the council or aldermen will
have to do something in the way of
having city ordinance covering the
subject as our state law leaves these
details with them.
son looking the matter up ! find that
some of the milk delivered to you is
thirty-six hours old when delivered and
figuring that the last of it is not used
up for twenty four hours makes it
sixty hours ola before it is all used up.
Now these things ought not so to be.
l appreciate the fact that this has
been hard winter to get milk and the
milkmen has been up against a pretty
hard proposition in trying to supply
their trade, yet / think some method
might be devised whereby the PATRONS
would get better service.
Another thing that ought to be given
attention at once, is having cows tested
for tuberculosis. This is also left with
the city to pass the ordinance compell
ing such test, for the herds from which
the milk supply of the city comes, and
for the benefit of the owners themselves
it seems to me they would gladly have
it done to rid their herds of the disease
if they have it and to find out, and use
it as an advertisement if they were
free from it.
although there are some who claim
that the disease is not transmissable to
human beings still we would hardly like
to make the test by taking the tuber-
culosis into our systems and as a great
many of the babies get almost all their
substinence from milk it is only proper
that they be protected from any possible
chance of contracting this dreaded dis
| ease.
"It seems to me that a city the size
of Mankato should have milk inspec-
tor on duty all the time looking after
these various things also conditions OF
cans, pals, bottles, etc. All these things
might cause us to have to pay cent OF
two more per quart for our milk but
who wouldn't be glad to do that if he
were assured of nice, fresh grade OF
milk and cream freer from all disease
germs"

EX-MAYOR BARTH,
Of Louisville, Kills Him
self.

Louisville, Aug. 81. Paul C. Barth,
for year and a half Mayor of
Louisville and ousted recently by the
decision Of the Court of Appeals,
shot and killed himself today. Mr..
Barth ended his life in his private
Office at the headquarters of the
Utica Lime Company, of which he
was General Manager. His shot
was heard by his business associates,
who rushed into the room to find
Mr.. Barth unconscious on the floor
with a bullet hole in his head. He
never recovered consciousness and
died about l o'clock.
Mr.. Barth was a man of means and
was President of the Board of AL
dermen for several years. 1t was
Mr.. Barth who welcomed President
Roosevelt when the President made
his Southwestern tour two years
ago.
The cause of the suicide is I'M
known. Since the ousting of Mr..
Barth's administration by mandate
of the Court of Appeals two months
ago the acts of the officials during
his term have been subjected to
sever scrunity by the officials who
came in with Mayor Bingham, ap-
pointed by Gov. Beckham. Nothing
was found that reflected any discred-
it on Mr.. Barth personally, but the
methods of conducting some of the
city institutions has been under fire
both in the official reports and in
the press. Mr.. Barth was very SEN
sitive to criticism, and his friends
remarked at times that the condition
of affairs seemed to gall him. How
ever he gave no evidence that he
was in any danger of breaking down,
physically or mentally, and, since
the custer, had been conducting his
business affairs as had been usual
before he assumed office. He was
not only manager of the Utica Lime
Company, but had a large interest
in the Ohio River Sand & Gravel
Company, of which he was the active
head.
Mr., Barth was forty-nine years
old. H was a widower and leaves
three young sons.

Consumption Of Liquors Is
Increased Every
Year.
CIGARETTE EVIL GROWS
The Liquor Increase Was

Year 1906.

nue., will doubtless startle persons
and organizations whose aim is to
wipe out the use of alcoholic liquor,
except for medicinal purposes, ex-
terminate the cigarette and put an
end to the snuff habit in this
country.
During the fiscal year 1907 there
was used 1874, 142,074 gallons of
spirits distilled from grains, an in
crease over 1906 of II 400, 252. This
tremendous quantity Of whisky, etc,
produced S147, 556,281 of revenue
for Unclue Sam, an increase of S12,-
55O,177 during the twelve-month
period.
Cordials and liquors increased from
1,7S1, SAB gallons to 1893, 688 gallons.
and the revenue thereon from ST.
$50, S07 to 81, 1895
The breweries increased from
54,641 ;637 barrels to SO, 546,111 bar
rels, or about Z per cent. as against
a 9 per cent: increase for the dis
tilleries.
The beer, ale, malt extracts, ETC.,
brought sos, 546, 40 into the United
States Treasury, an increase Of
SO, 1894, 474 over 1906.
In addition to this the Government
collected S1y021 ,7O6 in special taxes
from brewers and retail and whole
sale dealers in fermented goods,
while the special taxes from dealers
in spirits reached approximately
$6,OO0.000.
The cigarette statistics are par
ticularly impressive, and these en-
brace only the manufactured kind,
not those made by hand by 1the
hundreds of thousands of smokers
throughout the country.
The cigarettes consumed during
the year reached the prodigious total.
of 5,167 O2l,857, an increase Of
81, 4O4. 500.
Sumptuary laws against cigarette
smoking, such as are in operation
in Indiana. seem not to check the
habit.
The use of cigars continues to be
universal, although the relative in
crease cannot be compared with the
growth Of the cigarette business.
In 1907 there went up in smoke
no less than 8,642, 278,2l9 cigars, as
against 1870, 672,6 48 in 1905. The
taxes resulting from this heavy
cloud exceeded $23,OOO,0OO, nearly
$4,000, 900 more than last year.
The American people also chewed
and smoked 1863, 1876, 1903 pounds of
plug and loose tobacco, much of it
grown in Kentucky, an increase of
1920, 804 pounds in year.
This kind of weed produced $22,-
151, 178 of revenue for the Federal
Government. And, besides the
smoking and chewing, the people
used up 23,4O1, 1876 pounds of snuff,
an increase of 69365S pounds, which
provided 81 ,404, OH of taxes.
1t is a mystery to the internal rev.
enue officials where all this snuff
goes.
WHAT KENTUCKY PAYS.
During the fiscal year the aggre-
gate revenue collections reached
1858, 1854, 022, an increase Of $40, 651,-

The present capacity of the mill is
400 barrels per day. The company
says that no mill that has not adop-

One of the late inventions (not more
than five years old. probably) is that
of an greensboro man for bleaching
and aging -four by electricity. Of
course the Climax would not neglect
using this invention in its products.
The company with an eye to the fu-

the capacity can be increased to

pense, as the engine stands ready for
driving the additional machinery.
The storage department of the build |
ing is fast being filled with 25lb and |

shipment and a salesman is out re-

be put on the Southern market.

that a couple Of special agents
have been assigned to this district

it is likely suspended proofs will
now be speedily adjudicated.
Later Thursdays Bismarck

of Messrs. Reese and Swift and
that the work of clearing up old
