GREAT MILK MARKETS,
Methods Employed in Handling Milk
 in London and in New York.
From the American eultivator.

From the American Cultivator.
 Milk is conveyed to London by the various big railroad companies in diff ferent ways The greater part of it, which is brought from distances of 150 miles, is carried principally In special milk trains Milk vans on the special trains are of no uniform pattern some may be termed good, some indifferent and some bad. The best are all well fitted for the purpose, with close boarded sides admitting plenty of ventilation, but ex- cluding dirt and wet: the indifferent are those with open boarded sides, admit ting both wet and dirt as we'll as air. and the bad are old passenger train lug gage vans, of which the ventilation is inadequate. None of the special milk vans are fitted with refrigerating apparatus, but as these trains are seldom or ever more than seven hours on the journey, perhaps the refrigerating process Is not greatly needed. Some milk, especially that carried for long distances, is con veyed in the luggage vans of passenger trains, most unsanitary mode of con- veyance. as in addition to the lack of ventilation the van is probably heaped with a miscellaneous cargo. some of which is not unlikely to have an in furious influence on the milk
 Another fault in the English system of carrying milk by train is that the cans in which the milk Is contained are hardly ever locked or sealed, affording opportunities for the milk to be tam pered with or for dirt to enter en route. The trains which bring milk to New York are nearly all made up of well-construct- ed and suitable cars equipped with re- frigerating apparatus and travel at a high rate of speed. Both in London and in New York the principal milk trains ar rive at night In regard to distributing milk there are no essential differences In vogue in London and in New York. Or with respect to the care taken of milk after it arrives at It's destination, It may be asserted that far more attention is paid to this phase of the question In New York than in London. For instance, there is practically no certified milk sold in London, and a relatively very small quantity of milk retailed In bottles, whereas in New York there are lO,0O0 quarts of certified milk daily sold and more than one-third of the city supply is retaied in bottles
 The manner of carrying milk to cus- toners is much better in New York than the London methods. In London is hawked about in small hand carts, while in New York the greater part of 1t is conveyed in carts specially construc- ed for the purpose, drawn by horses. The milk stores at which milk is sold are, speaking genrally better in New York than in London, In both cities. of course, the small milk stores are not unfrequently in an unsanitary condition, but in London 80 per cent or the shops at which milk Is retailed are small general provision shops, in which the conditions are often very unhygenlc.

WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES

inflammation or soreness, Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieve 1t. They gently stim- ulate, tone and strengthen sick kidneys, drive away backache. rheumatic pain and dizziness, clear up and regulate the urine, and restore a perfect Altering of the blood. Best of all, this relief is perma- nent.
 BIRMINGHAM PROOF,
 c. W Baker. 1909 North Sixteenth street Birmingham, Ala, says "Doan's Kidney Pills have my highest indorse- ment. as they cured me so thoroughly of kidney trouble over a year ago that I have had no return of it since This dis- ease had such a firm hold on me at the time that 1 was confined to my bed. 1 had dull pains through my kidneys and also in my back and Joins. In the morn- ing I often arose so stiff and lame that it was only with great difficulty that I could dress myself. If I sat down for a few moments l could not arise without assistance, as my back wouic be so weak. When Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention I was suffering severely, and I resolved to try them pro- curing box at E. B. Norton's drug store. They made a gradual improve ment in my condition. and in a compar- atively short time l was completely cured. I then gained in weight and felt better in every way. The fact that my cure has remained permanent Is sufficient evidence I believe of the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills.'

A bad back turns every 24 hours into one dull round of pain and misery-you are lame in the morning, nagged all day by dull, throbbing backache. can't rest in the evening or sleep well at night. It hurts to bend over. straighten up, get up from chair, or lift even a light weight: Any sudden twist, turn or awkward movement sends a tearing twinge of pain through the weak spot.
 Backache is really kidney-aehe. The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too frequently, then you have double proof
 Keep the kidneys well and the kidneys will keep you well. Well kidneys filter the blood and keep # pure Diseased kidneys only partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kidneys and you invite uric acid poisoning, gravel. stone in the kidney, rheumatism, heart trouble, diabetes, Brghts disease, and a long list of other serious disorders now recognized as hav- ing their cause in kidney weakness.
 At the first sign of backache or urinary disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not with plasters, liniments, nor any other outside applications, but with a special kidney medicine.
 The simplest and most effective rem edy for sick kidneys is Doans Kidney Pills. If there is weakness, congestion,

So the mothers of the poor have little opportunity to expe- riment If they do succeed in cooking something that can be eaten they stick to that as a permanent article of diet It is only when the cooking teacher, who is not afraid of experiments, comes in to help that these women dare to essay new dishes which will vary the monotony of the family diet.
 In the case of one underfed child that was looked up, the cooking teacher found that the mother was spending from $1 to &25 a day without securing adequate nourishment, when the family of three adults and two children ought to be able to live on 75 cents a day for food. She thereupon planned menu for the family. A typical menu for a day was the follow ing, of which the actual cost was 71.2 cents:
 BREAKFAST
 Oatmeal, Milk, Sugar.
 Creamed Goldfish.
 Bread and Butter Coffee, Cocoa Shells for Children.
 LUNCHEON.
 Milk Toast.
 Stewed Prunes.
 Milk for Children.
 Tea.
 DINNER.
 Beef Liver. Rice with Cheese and Brown Gravy.

Could Not Tell Exactly.

From the Boston Post.
 A well known English bishop some time since lost his third wife. A clergy man who had known the first wife re- turned from Africa and wanted to see the grave. He called at the cathedral and saw the verger.
 Can you tell me where the bishop wife is buried?'
 Well, sir" replied the verger, q don't know for certain, but he mostly buries 'em at Brompton."
