SANITARY SUBJECTS.
THE MILKER.

The kinds of bacteria that the milker
 is likely to introduce into the milk in-
 clude nearly the whole list. It seldom
 occurs to the average milker that it is as necessary to wash tke hands before milking as before eating a meal of victuals. The numbers that come from soiled clothes and dirty hands which get into milk are large. The hands of a milker working around the farm dur ing the afternoon were tested, just be- fore milking time, for the number Of bacteria that could be washed off in a quart of sterile water. The number was found to be 45,O0O,000 This wash- ing did not remove all the bacteria. but did remove all those that would have dropped off during the milking. Another experiment was tried to de- termine how many bacteria were left on the hands after thorough washing with soap and warm water. The num- Der that could be washed off then in sterile water was 90O,OOO. These two experiments show that 9S per cent of bacteria can be washed from the hands.

About two weeks ago in one of our hard showers lightning struck the we'll curb at the homestead of Mrs George Cubec in the south part of the town, shattering it all to pieces. Just as it was struck two of Mrs Cubec's daugh- ters went to.the window on the side of the house towards the we'll to shut it and they both were shocked and were thrown to the floor, but very fortunate ly neither were badly hurt. One of her sons was in the pantry at the time, the door being open, and the lightning set fire to his hair. burning a few locks. Fortunately he was not shocked or in- jured. Where the lightning went after that seems to be a mystery.

BETWEEN THE ACTS.
A CLEVER PRESENTATION OF
 B. L. GRIFFITH'S COMEDY.

Alumni of the Newtown High school, under the direction of Dr Ross Jewell, the former principal of the school, gave a spirited and clever presentation of B. L.

 Mrs Comfort, Gussie Campbell.
 Uncle Meander, Carlton Smith.
 Aunt Clementina, Pearl Parsons.
 MT Merrygale, John Houlihan.
 Harris (servant), Visitors.
 Sallle (maid), Eleanor Cavanaugh.
 The parts were all we'll taken, the comedy being bright and full of action. During the wait between the acts a chorus of young people, with the as- sistance of Dr Jewell and Curtis E. Cook, sang college songs. The net proceeds amounted to $62.85, which will be used to aid graduates of the Newtown4Iigh school. who are working their way through college.

A PRAYER.
c. A. NINETEENTH IN SPRING.
 FIELD REPUBLICAN.

Lord let me dwell in sweet content
 Wherever l may be; And take the sorrows to me sent
 As precious gifts from Thee. Let me not live in shadowy gloom
 Because some cloud is near, But let me look beyond the hour
 And see the sunshine clear. Help me within my soul to keep
 Of love so great a store, That some sad soul in sorrow steeped
 May find sweet hope once more. Dear Lord, so many joys are mine,
 Of ills so few appear 1 must be happy in my life
 And feel that Thou art near.

Moral Advances.

The cause OF temperdnCo hao hoN
a great triumph in Ohio in the
passage of the county local option
law. This has been the objective
point toward which the temper
ance forces of the State have been
working and fighting in recent
wears. There was first secured a
local option law for townships;
then one for municipalities; then
one for residential districts; and
now one for counties. All OF these
are in force at present, and all,
except the last, have been declar-
ed constitutional by the Supreme
Court. 1t is certain that this will
be if it is ever brought to the test
And now the people OF Ohio can
vote the saloon out of any OF the
townships, municipalities, coun-
ties or residence districts in which
a majority of the people are OPP
posed to it. 1t would seem that
the saloon must go from all the
counties of the State except'a very
small number.
But the cause of honesty and
honor and manhood has also had
a triumph. The liquor forces did
everything in their power to pre-
vent the passage Of the bill.
Every form OF Establishment and
threatening and intimidation was
brought to bear upon the men who
stood up for temperance. The
margin was small in the Senate.
A change of a very few votes
would have defeated the bill there.
Every one knows that the liquor
forces would have willingly pour
ed out their thousands to turn a
few votes to their side. But men
and votes were not for sale. A
Cincinnati brewer is reported to
have said on last Saturday night
eve had 5000, 900 at Columbus, but
not a vote was for SALE"
A more sturdy, determined
wholesome fight was never made
against righteousness, and fol-
home and right and honor, in any
legislative body than was made
by that majority in the Ohio Leg
islature. All honor to men who
would not be driven or deceived
or bought off from doing what wa
right. 1t gives n a new, whole
some regard for men in public life
to see such exhibitions of sturdi-
ness.
Men in public life realize, ano
are compelled to realize their re-
sponsibility to those whom they
represent. The eyes of the people
are on them in every word anc
every vote. If the people are
clearly and boldly outspoken OF
the great questions that come VI
for discussion, their law makers
are not apt to swerve. AS neve.
before the people are demanding
good laws, and they are securing
them. Good sense and fairness
are the leading characteristics o
our temperance legislation. Tit
people have a right to decide il
any locality against the saloon
1t ought not to be forced on an.
community that is opposed to it
Local option is eminently fair an
just, and is working out great an
good results, as it spreads iron
township to township, county t.
county, city to city, and State t.
State. -Herdld and Presbyter.

Brewers And Their Advocates.

1t is announced as something
new that the brewers of the West
are about to subscribe a large sum
of money for the purpose of car
rying on an energetic campaign
against prohibition.
If the so-called new movement
merely contemplates discussing
more money for these purposes it
is much more likely to extend
than it is to restrict dry territory.
The beer business is affected al
most as iniuriously by its advo-
Gates as it is by it's assailants, and
that is one of the principal reasons
why in a pitched battle it SO FREE
quently loses.
Not much that has been written
or spoken in behalf Of the saloon
business, which Is really the issue
in most places, has had the results
intended. If that occupation has
impressed itself upon the people
in such a manner as to gain their
i'll will the brewers themselves are
largely to blame, for they have
controlled most Of the saloons.
The whole scheme of brewery
owned and brewery controlled sa-
looms is offensive to most men ano
no amount of purchased argu.
ment will change the opinion

TIMBER USED FOR SPOOLS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. II, 1908.
Small things are not to be overlooked
in considering the problems Of the
future timber supply. The match
maker is having as much trouble IN get
ting the grade of wood necessary for
his business as she dealer in telegraph
poles.
One of the industries which deals
with small things, yet, which is one OF
the utmost Importance to the country's
commerce, is the manufacture and ex-
port of spool wood. This business is
peculiar to the New England States,
and is centered in Maine. Spool fac
tories of this State are now turning out
eight hundred million spools annually,
with market value of nearly 81 ,O0O,-
! 600.
The best quality of timber is used for
the manufacture of spools. White
birch, which is used almost exclusively
for this industry, reaches the factory
in the form of bars from IL to GIG
| inches square and from 2 IL to feet
long. These bars must be absolutely
clear. The birch is cut in winter and
| sawed in small portable mills when
operate near some railroad line. about
2 1-S cords being required for 1000 feet
of bars. After saving, the bars are
| piled criss-cross, in order to facllltase
thorough seasoning, and, protected
from the weather, are allowed to sea
son until June. The spool bar mills IN
Maine turn out about Is million feet OF
bars during the year and approximately
the same amount of material is manu-
featured into spools in the State.
The machines for making spools are
complicated and require skilled men for
their operation. The spools drop from
the lathe at the rate of one per second
and must be perfectly uniform and
true. The finished spools are marketed
in this country largely in Rhode Island,
| Connecticut, New York and New Jer-
sey, while the spool bars are largely ex-
ported to Greenock and Glasgow, Scot
land, and to Hull and Fleetwood, Eng
land. Shipments to these points are
made mostly from Bangor, as much as
s million feet having been sent from
| that port lin a season. shipments the
past season were mainly from Cape
