paid for making the trip.

The circular letter referred to
above is as follows:
PURE MILK.

PURE MILK.
The diarrhoeas and most of the
intestinal disturbances from
which people suffer in the sum-
mer time are caused by food pois-
ons. These poisons, called toxins,
are elaborated by ferments, which
grow luxuriantly in hot weather.
Most ferments (microbes) pro-
duce harmless compounds in
foods. For instance, the Tactic
ferment produces tactic acid in
milk, but tactic acid is not HARM
full to health, but on the contrary,
as found in buttermilk, it is
wholesome. 1t is the toxin pro-
ducing ferments we must fear.
The seeds of such ferments are
everywhere, but especially where
uncleanliness exists. A simple
experiment will illustrate. Place
veal-loaf or chicken salad, which
are made of the best materials in
the most cleanly way, in a dirty
refrigerator and let them stay
there two or three days. They
will become poisonous nine times
out of ten and will cause intestin-
al pains, vomiting and diarrhoea
in nearly everyone who eats them.
Milk collected in an uncleanly
manner and not Immediately cool
ed becomes poisonous. Milk con-
tanning small amount of toxins
will rarely make adults sick, but
an infant may be killed by it, and
hundreds of infants are annually
killed in Indiana by dirty milk.
The majority of cases of cholera
infantum are caused by milk poi
son, and so are most of the infan-
tile diarrhoeas.
From these facts it is apparent
that the summer complaints" are
not mysterious visitations of prov
idence, but are the result of our
ignorance or of our neglect to be
practical and to apply to every
day life the facts discovered by
science. 1t is enough for science
to discover truths, it is for the
people individually or through
public authorities, to make them
practical by using them. There
fore, the state board of health ap-
peals to all city and town govern
ing authorities to take the very
practical and economic step of
regulating the milk supply of
their respective cities and towns,
to the end that sickness and death
by dirty milk may be pre-
Watered milk is simply fraud.
Ii does not affect health and life,
unless perhaps the added water
is polluted, which sometimes hap
pens. This fraud is covered by
the state statutes and really need
not be regulated by cities and
towns. The state board of health
is prepared to analyze milk, wat
er, foods, drugs, etc., free of
charge, but it's required that all

Commissioner Haarer will ask for

BEAUTY AND
BAD BREATH
Cannot Go Together, No Matter How
a Woman May Try to Make Them.

II does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be, II she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
IL any woman doubts this statement
let her make a point of asking q
friend In whom she may confide, a
man friend or relative. IL he be hon
est he will tell her that foul breath
from the mouth of a woman will drive
men from her more rapidly than any
other personal affliction.
Foul breath arouses In man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural re-
pugrance which comes to man when
he is in company with such a woman.
What Is true of bad breath In won.
an is not true In SO great a degree In
men. Women are looked upon as the
incarnation of sweetness, breeding.
virtue and refinement Foul breath
will sicken a man SO that he cannot
feel for such woman a companion
ship necessary to make him desire to
be in her company.
There Is. absolutely no occasion for
bad breath In either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known. when taken into the stomach.
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
In tremendous quantities all over

RETURNS VI
THIS PAPER MADE BEST RECORD
IN TABuLATINo THE VOTE FOR
MAYOR - HREITMEYER's PLUR
ALITY Is 2,sso.

Philip Bre!tmeyer won the mayora-
ty by a plurality Of 1850.
This is the corrected vote given out
by the city canvassing board. The
plurality as given out by The Times
at the close OF the count. before some
corrections had been made In the tally
sheets. was 1929.
The Times was much the nearest
to the correct plurality of any OF the
compilers OF the returns. One after
noon newspaper was over 800 astray.
Many bets have already been paid
on the election, but those that have
been held back will be paid now. In
Cottington's alone. there IL more than
100000 to be paid out to hackers OF
Breitmeyer. In this place the money
was handled on q percentage basis. In
Considine's. the book run by Benny
Klock, was taking only Breitmeyer
bets, the men In charge refusing to
lay odds against Thompson. This book
will get sitter dose than the others
therefore. In Cottington's, Scbneiders
and other downtown places there IL q
lot Of money to be paid over.
Some Of the d. p. w. bettors were
rejoicing because they believe that
they got some OF the mayors own
money. big pool was formed In
which city employees Joined, and this
money was wagered against the mon
ey offered by the Barlums, Mayor
Thompson's relatives.
When 1t came to paying the bets. the
money was paid over partly by 4

An analysis OF the vote by wards
shows that Breitmeyer carried six
wards that Codd failed to carry two
years ago, In each case the loser get
ting only six wards. Codd carried the
First, Second, Third, Fourth, Four
teenth and Eighteenth. Breitmeyer
ran ahead Of Codd In each one. the
smallest gain being In the First ward.
where Breitmeyer got only IS greater
plurality than Codd. In the wards

son formerly carried, the Democratic

increased his plurality In
only one ward, the Thirteenth. where
he gained 81 votes net over 1906.
Breitmeyer had nearly 5000 more
votes than Codd, while Thompson had
about $500 more votes than In his
previous run, the net change being ex-
