The Boston Journal, which has been
carefully Investigating the matter, de-
clares that disgusting. offensive and
dangerously eccentric methods are en-
ployed in the testing of Boston's milk
supply and offers to the local board
of health the, fullest use Of the evil
dence which has been collected by Its
representatives. 1t demands in the
name of Boston's milk consumers that
prompt action be taken by the au-
thorities which will make the present
methods of testing milk in that city
impossible of continuance. Certainly
any movement which will secure prac-
tical results in this line is worthy OF
popular support. The question OF a
city's milk supply is too important a
one tos be dealt with in a careless
spirit or by ineffective methods

Augusta Should Have a New Fire
Enoine,

The recent break in the water main
has emphasized the imperative need Of
our city to include, in it's fire-fighting
equipment an up-tO-date fire engine
The property interests of this city are
too great to be jeopardized by negli-
gence or delay in this matter Now
that the old engine has been definitely
and permanently relegated to the junk
heap, the need of new one is present
and imperative. In filling this need
the city should get the best
The City Government is to be COM
mended for securing two engines, and
holding them in reserve during the
recent break in the water main; blu;
the fact must not be overlooked that
emergencies are liable to occur when
such provision may not be possible
The only safe course for the city II
pursue is to own an engine of it's own
which shall be available for use at all
times. We believe that the general
sentiment of the city favors this pre-
caution, and that our taxpayers Will
heartily support the city government
equipment for re-fghting purposes.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scaldS it thoroughly after using. and gives
1t sun bath to sWeeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutrltlve tracts are performed pro-
cesSes which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the diSsem-
inaton of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-a bsolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptionS, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

White flour leaves out very important elements

GENTLY cooked. The inside of the loaf never gets
half enough heat to break Up the granues of starch,
SO the digestive juices can get to them. So much
of the starcl-which is 70 per cent of the wheat
never digests It's insoluble.
That is the reason for Mapl-Flake.
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours; then
cured. Then every berry is faxed SO thin that the
full heat attacks every atom. Then they toasted,
for 80 minutes, at 400degrees
The result is food that's all food. No part goes

Ysy Duck has been arrested for
stealing a bicycle in Buffalo A man
with a name like that would run
chances of being arrested on suspicion
at anytime.
A man at Providence who is 20 years
old says that he has greatly improved
his health by eating four ounces of
sand every day. 1t must take sand
to dc it.
A Kansas man says that he has
caught a fish 1000 years old and which
has steel teeth. It's shame to raise
the fish-lying limit like that at the
very beginning of the season.
A couple of men who are alleged to
be night riders have been arrested in

where they were safe.

The report has been sent out from

the fact that Kansas is a prohibition

1t is evident that the party of
Japanese bankers, merchants, editors
and capitalists who have recently
been touring this country have been
duly impressed with the qualities of
Yankee hustle and enterprise. Mr. X.
Sugimura. editor of the Osaka Asahi
in recent speech, voiced the senti-
mehts of the party in the following
words:
Il have been particularly impressed
with the immensely of your country
by its gigantic enterprises, and its
great buildings and manufacturing
plants. The American girl is the
most beautiful in the world, not even
excepting the girls Of Japan"
After such an expression as this
who will dare question the friendly
sentiment of the japanese people
towards our country or their dis
eliminating genius in sizing up its
leading institutions?
