BoRAx IN THE DAIRY
A Matter Of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.

The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint of staleness
left in can, tin or churn may ruin a
whole output; that the faint which is
left is in the form of bacteria which
grow and multiply in milk or butter,
producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue OF its own which is, il any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon prod
uct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long known Dorax as
q cleanser, sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer OF Dacterla anu efi

An advertisement lately appeareu ~
the papers of Pittsburg announcing
that by the payment of certaia lib
eral sum of money limited number
Of persons of wealth and high social
position could secure the privilege of
presentation at the English court The
young man who inserted the advertise
ments was arrested as swindler, in
spite of his insistence that he could
do all he had promised; but the most
interesting phase Of the affair was the
large number of persons who were
eager to accept his offer. They focked
to the hotel in such eagerness, and
were so anxious to be among the chos-
en-, that the police had difficulty in get
ting them to go home. TO the outsider
Of well-balanced mind there must al
ways be something amusing in such an
exhibition, of snobbery. Yet this was
only one form Of trait which exists
in some shape and to some degree in
most persons. The snobs who will pay
to be presented at court are separated
by no very clear line from those who
will pay to get their names Into "A
Thousand Great Men" or 1.-The Blue
bloods of New York; and hundreds of
others who hold themselves far above
such crude and overt snobbery as this
will nevertheless pay what IS virtually
blackmail of one sort or another to buy
the social approval or escape the social
censure of their fellows. Snobbery of
whatever kind is heel Of Achilles to
the possessor. Although he may be
covered with the armor Of intelligence,
good intentions and experience, he will
still be vulnerable through his vanity.
None know this better than the swim
dlers and "bunco- steerers" who make
their living by it. They love the nob
because they know that snobbery and
courage seldom go together.

High school fraternities are treated
with scant courtesy when they make
an appeal to the courts. The latest
instance Of judicial condemnation oc-
Cured In Chicago, when the Appellate
Court declined to issue an injunction
restraining the school board from en-
forcing rule excluding all members
OF secret fraternities from participa-
tion in literary or athletic contests,
and from using the names of the high
schools in connection with the fraterni-
ties. The injunction was sought
through the father Of member Of one
Of the fraternities ON the ground that
the rule interfered with the natural
rights of the pupils The court decides
that the rule against the fraternities
does not interfere with the rights Of
the young people to join any fraterni-
ties they choose, and that 1t does not
trespass upon parental authority. The
school contests from which members of
the fraternities are barred do not form
part Of the regular curriculum, and are
subject to such regulations as the
school authorities choose to make In
the exercise of their legal discretion.

THE new CHINATOWN.
Oriental Quarter Arises on the OLD
site In San Francisco.

Site In San francisco.
San Francisco's new Chinatown
which has arisen on the ruins OF the
old is ready for occupancy and u rap
idly filing up with merchants and
tradesmen who were scattered to the
four winds by the terrible earthquake
ana IRE of a year and half ago. All
movements looking toward the trans
fer of the Chinese to less desirable
part of the city failed utterly, and the
new Chinatown has risen on the site OF
the old, under the shadow of Mob Hill
and touching shoulders with the fnan-
cial district. In the first flush OF hope
after the catastrophe several plans
were evolved for moving Chinatown out
toward Telegraph Hill or to some suit
able part OF the Mission district. The
site of old Chinatown was needed for
the expansion of the financial district.
One thing stood in the way OF this part
of the "city beautiful" dream. Chi
nese firms and wealthy Monaghan indi-
viduals owned much Of the property In
Chinatown. They were satisfied with
the site Of their quarter. 1t was near
the big hotels patronized by eastern
tourists, and it was not too far from
the water front whence their goods
came. The Chinese refused to sell and
straightway set about rebuilding.
There is a reason why Chinatown
was rebuilt before the other parts of
the burned area, even before Market
street had been repaved. The Chinese
property owners had no trouble in get
ting ready cash. They did not try to
borrow from San Francisco banks or
even from New York money lenders.
The first steamer to China carried long
letters describing the situation. In
closed were drafts on the treasurer of
the company which backed the San
Francisco firms. The return steamer
brought the gold that was needed and
the Chinese could tell their contractors
to 60 ahead.
The building department and the
health authorities insisted that the new
Chinatown be built according to law
and the new Chinatown has, of course,
lost such picturesQueness as was found
in the dirt and the sQualor and the
tumbledown effect Of the old buildings.
To offset this, however, there will be a
heavy gain in healthfulness.
