German Apple Juice.

There are four plants in the consular
district of Munich where pure apple
juice is sterilized. The method of manu-
facture. if it may be so called, is most
simple. The apples are, as soon as pos
sible after picking much Importance is
given to this,) forwarded to the factory.
The first process is absolute cleaning
and washing. From the washing tank
they are carried by means of an endless
chain of buckets to a receptacle where
the apples are torn into small particles
These are placed in the hydraulic press
The apple juice when drawn from the
press is placed in a large air-tight retort
where il is steriIized; it is then allowed
to settle for some days. and then filtered
so that the juice is absolutely transpa-
rent. The juice is then bottled, a slight
amount of carbonic gas is added, and a
space of about an inch left in the bottle
between the cork and the juice to allow
for expansions; the bottles are placed in
car, 6 by by 2h feet, and this car
with its load of bottles is rolled into
retort where the juice is pasteurized. the
process taking about four hours, the wa
ter in the retort being heated to $50 TO
1853 degrees Fahrenheit, and absolutely
destroying any germ life that might ex-
list. The pure apple juice thus treated
contains perhaps one-half of | per cent
of alcohol. and is most delicious drink
retaining all the flavor of pure apple eli

1.-THE MAN WHO KEPT HIS WORD
Fred W. Cords, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Who is
Candidate for Reelection

That the people of Milwaukee County
appreciate the efforts of a public officer
in their behalf is shown by the interest
that is being taken in the candidacy of
Fred w. Cords for reelection as Clerk
of the Circuit Court.
Mr. Cords is completing his first
term, but in less than two years he has
been in office he has accomplished more
in the interests of the people than he
even felt was possible or than he
promised during his first campaign.
Fred W. Cords is Milwaukee born
and raised man, and has lived the en-
tire AZ years of his life in the Sixth
ward. He has been well known in
business circles for a great many years
and his entire career has been one long
recommendation for honesty and integ-
rity.
When he became a candidate two
years ago it was upon a platform that
smacked of courage and a vigorous un-
derstanding of the needs of the office
for which he was candidate. He an
nounced that he was a candidate upon
a platform which stood first, last and
all the time for the rig hts of the people,
and for the return of all fees collected
by the servant of the public to the
public treasury where they belonged
In order to put into practice the poll
cy which he advocated and which met
with the approval of the people, it was
necessary to secure the passage of a
law permitting the county board to
make an arrangement with the clerk of
the circuit court regarding salaries in
that office, but before Mr.. Cords had
been in office two weeks he had for
warded to Madison, to the legislature
then in session, the draft of law

New York Sets a Good Example.

The state of New York has taken ad-
vanced ground in the warfare against
tuberculosis. Gov. Hughes has recently
signed bill which classes tuberculosis
with communicable diseases that are dan
gerous to the public health and imposes
upon health authorities the duty of TAX
ing steps in accordance with this view.
Hereafter physicians in the state of
New York must report all cases of tuher-
culoss to the health authorities The
cases will be recorded, but the names of
the patients will not be made public.
This is to enable health boards TO disin-
feet houses from which patients remove
before new tenants assume occupancy.
Such disinfeetion will be performed by
health officers at public expense.
but the cleaning and renovation follow
ing disinfection must be paid for by the
property owner. The act provides for the
free examination of sputum, and when
tuberculosis is discovered, the law re-
Quires physicians to take all reasonable
precautions for the protection of indi-
yidualS occupying the same premises
with tuberculous patients. Provision is
made for the reporting of recoyerleS and
for the release of former patients from
the espionage established by the original
report of the case.

| largest bond furnished by any public
official in the country. The amount of
the bond required of the county treas
urer of Milwaukee county materially
increased following the election of Mr..
Goetz, for in addition to the tax levy
which increased to $1,2O6, 371.53, for
which he is required to give bond in
the full amount, additional bonds had
to be provided in the sum of $4,000 as
treasurer of the Milwaukee Hospital
| for the Insane, at Wauwatosa and
$S62,00 twice the amount of the money
to be handled by the county treasurer
incident to the construction of the
Grand Avenue viaduct.
Under the new laws governing the
surety companies doing business in the
state of Wisconsin, all of them could
not have furnished Mr.. Goetz with an
indemnity bond of 50 100, 900. The new
laws require that individual bonds
shall not exceed ten per cent of the
capital and surplus of the surety COM
panies. The aggregate capital and
surplus of the surety companies doing
business in the state of. Wisconsin is
but SIT 100000 One of these surety
companies, IS, 900, 900 concern, refuses
to take county treasurers as rick, so
that with but an aggregate capital and
surplus of but s12. 500. zoo. Mr.. Goetz
was only able to get surety bonds
which in the aggregate amounted to
81 $50 600.
BY dint of six weeks of hard labor
and the cooperation of friends, Mr..
Goetz was finally able to furnish per-
sonal bonds in the sum of $3.50, 900 the
amount not covered by surety bonds,
and thereupon qualified as county
treasurer, although the work of secur-
ing the additional personal bonds de-
layed him from taking Office until
January 7,19O7. If reelected Mr.. Goetz
will simply have to renew his present
bonds.
Mr. Goetz election means safe and
able business administration of the af-
fairs of the Office of county treasurer,
and courteous treatment for all.

COUNTY TREASURER JULIUS j. GOETZ
Candidate for Reelection Subject the Republican Prmare
to Be Held Tuesday September J. 1908.

County Treasurer Julius j. Goetz is
candidate for reelection, subject to
the Republican primaries to be held
| Tuesday, September /. Mr.. Goetz has
been identified with the county treas
urer's Office for the last ten years, two
years of which he has been the incum-
bent of the Office of county treasurer.
1t being an established custom to give
the county treasurer two terms if the
incumbent desires it, it is not antici-
pated that he will have any opposition
at the primaries This insures his
nomination on the Republican ticket,
and his nomination practically means
his election.
Before assuming the duties of county
treasurer in January 1907, to which
| office he was elected in the fall of 1906,
Mr.. Goetz was for four years chief clerk
to County Treasurer H. F. Schultz, and
held the same office during the incum-
bency of County Treasurer George
Thnering, whom he in turn succeed
ed in office. Mr. Goetz liz announcing
his candidacy lays especial stress on
the long years of service he has had in
the office of the county treasurer,
which eminently equips him for the
duties incumbent upon the county
treasurer, and as he has so ably demon
strated during his two years tenure Of
the office.
Mr.. Goetz points with just pride to
his record of county treasurer, which
shows that he has proven himself
faithful and indefatigable laborer at
all times for the good of the county, in
fact he has from the outset STYLED him
self as the County treasurer who
works" In addition to handling the
tax levy which is yearly increasing in
value, Mr.. Goetz has during his two
years of service handled all the money
involved in the construction of the
Grand Avenue viaduct, besides perform
ing the duties of treasurer of the Mil
waukee Hospital for the Insane,
Wauwatosa institution.
The bond of Mr.. Goetz, as county
treasurer, amounts to $1,000, 900, the

which would put into effect the cam
paign promises he had made.
The measure became law, and the
system of paving the force in the Office
of the Clerk of the Circuit Court was
changed, Jan. /, 1908. from a fee and
salary basis to a straight salary basis.
Since then newspapers of Milwaukee
have called the attention of the public
to the fact that according to the show
ing made by the first quarterly report
to the county treasurer under the new
law, the county would be the gamer
under the new system, to the extent of
more than S. yearly.
Hundreds of letters were received
by Mr. Cords when the papers printed
the result of the first quarter. The
letters were from many of the best
known citizens and taxpayers of the
city and county. They congratulated
Mr. Cords upon his faithfulness to his
campaign pledges and rendered him
the support of the writer's in the com
ing campaign and urged him to stand
for reelection.
Thus it transpires that the platform
of Mr.. Cords in the campaign of 1906,
which sounded good to the people Of
the county, has been carried out to the
letter, and it has remained for one of
the best known LAWYERS in the city,
recently, to speak good word for the
clerk of the circuit court and dub him

CAPE ANN AN ISLAND.
Changes on Coast Made by Deepening

1t is Cape Ann no longer Properly
speaking. it should be Ann Island, al
though the old designation will probably
stick. The dredging and deepening of
the Annisquam river and the new cut
clear across the neck to Gloucester har-
Dor is responsible for it.
This new waterway, which has been
constructed with no beating of drums or
blowing of trumpets, is highly appre-
ciated by the fishermen and coasters,
who are thereby enabled to avoid the
rocky promontory and the reefs of
Thatcher's Island and the Salvages.
The first examination of the new chan
uels advantage was made one day last
week, when a new schooner, built at Es-
sex. took advantage of the high tide and
came fer her spars and Quitting direct
to Gloucester by Annisquam and
through the river and canal. Otherwise
it would have been necessary to tow her
around the cape.-Boston Transcript.

A lesson in thrift is found in the advice
given by Congressman John E. Andrus
to young man of this city for whom
he had secured a minor appointment in
the capitol at Washington. Meeting the
young fellow in the capitol, he placed a
hand on his shoulder and remarked;
William, you are just beginning Your
life. Let me give you bit of sound adj

than 30 cents in your pocket, enough
perhaps, for your luncheon and for car
