Bacteria In Butter,

"Bacterlologists have shown us that
ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "a sin
gle teaspoonful of milk generally con-
tains from 1900, 900 to 10000, 900 germs.
The number may even DO much larger
than this, In the removal Of cream
from the milk the germs are taken with
II, and in the process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat, so in
the butter we have the concentration
of large part OF the germs contained
In the milk from which the butter was
derived. SO In a pound of butter de-
rived from twenty pints of milk the
number OF bacteria must be almost be-
yond estimate. A brief computation
viii show that the number OF bacteria
contained In a pound OF butter might
easily reach the enormous sum OF ave
to ten billions"

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to ut
Waahinaton's Home.

The diary Of Manasse Cutler, the
founder Of Ohio and the author Of the
ordinance of 1881, gives an account Of
a visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General WashingtOn's
death. We say General" Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him--a copy fGs
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says 1t was the desire Of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
in time for breakfast q O'clock with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detaiped them. so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted.
but she said, breakfast would be
ready In a few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
'In a short time she arose and desired
us to walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold cOrned beef, cold fowl. red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes Orna-
mented with spFigs OF parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equlpage, where she seated her
self and sent the ten and coffee to the
company"
The point Of interest is that break
fast menu-hye kinds Of meat decked
with sprigs OF parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetlzlng array and doesn't
the heart long for just such a scene?
OF course the mere feeders, the fell
lows that banker for hot things. may
not think 80, but the very mention Of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all In the same
breath In an appeal TO conscientious
appetite that is unreslsting. And that
was breakfast Of the long ago.

PLANT COSTS $2soooo.

A new industry that bids fair 10
make Detroit the most important paint
center In the United States Is the
Mild Process" for the manufacture
OF white lead. which has just begun
operations at the Acme White Lead
and Color works at 81. Aubin-ave. and
the Michigan Central railway tracks.
The fine new four-story building, OF
brick, steel and concrete has been
completed and the machinery set tn
motion which will completely revolu.
tionize the manufacture of white lead.
The building alone cost some $780,
600 and when the plant Ia fully equip
ped Ii will be an investment OF q
quarter OF million OF dollars. The
capacity of the plant Is 10000 tons
per annum and the money value OF
that would represent in the neighbor-
hood of a million and half dollars, so
II will be seen that this industry Is
one OF the most important acquisitions
that Detroit has had for some time.
While there is an immense amount OF
money involved, the machinery IL sim
pie. The plant Is automatic and the
process Is continuous, the machinery
to be operated 365 days in the year,
day and night.
The state OF perfection to which this
has been reduced will be noted when
II Is seen that only IL men are en-
ployed In operating the machinery,
two shifts six men nights and an
equal number during the day. All of
these men are practically inspectors.

The Mild Process" as II Is known,
was invented by Wilson III. Rowley,
formerly OF St Louis. but now OF De-

White lead Is the most important of
all the paint pigments and the indus

among the most important in the

is used from St Louis concerns. Il
Is said, however, that until the last
few years progress aud Improvement
In The methods Of manufacture OF
white lead have not kept pace with
other important industries OF modern
times.
The two processes which stand out
prominently are the "Old Dutch" pro-
cess and the Mild Process" The
former has been in use for hundreds
OF years, while the latter has been
out for only about five years. The
first patents were granted in 1902 and
1903. and q plant with 1000 tons an.
