Clean Milk Bottles,

Chicago company announces that
1t is manufacturing a paper single SER
vice milk bottle, something after the
style of the individual drinking cup 1t
is of paper. coated with parafline, and
Is declared by the manufacturers to be
absolutely clean. The bottles can be
marketed for one half a cent each and
the manufacturers feel that they will
be hailed as relief from bottle wash
Ing and breakage.
1t is pleasing to note the optimistic
view of the manufacturers, but it is
doubtful if they appreciate the fact
that few milk dealers will care to make
the change from glass to paper, if it
costs anything. In spite of the asser-
tons of experts that milk can be pro-
duced at about two cents per quart
dealers in the cities declare that seven
cents gives them only a pttance of
profit and that eight cents is none too
high a price. Eight cents is none too
high If the purchaser can be certain
that he is getting good milk which has
been handled only under sanitary con-
'ditions.
There is likely to be a DISPOSE
ticnpto postpone the advent of the pa
per bottle, however, until the present
supply of glass bottles is exhausted.
There are city ordinances, state laws
and personal prejudice as well as the
bottle manufacturers to overcome.
SucA combination dies hard If you
care enough about cleanliness to de-
mard- the individual bottle you will get
it, Though you will doubtless pay more
for milk served to you in that manner
II As. clean it is worth it. If it is not
clean it is expensive at any price.

A New Motive Power.


object of extensive research during the
last few years and every experiment
has been watched with keen interest
by those who have large sums invested
in ships. The coming of the gasolene
driven small boat was hailed as the be-
ginning of an era of many auxiliary
craft, half sail and half steam, which
would revolutioniZe sea transportation.
This bubble has been exploded as all
experiments along that line, up to this
time, have shown that the power is not
sufficiently reliable to be worthy
competitor of steam. 1t has been used
with some success, however, in fishing
vessels Of small tonnage.
With the situation in this country IN
mind, it is interesting to note expert
ments now going on on the Rhine
where q tow boat has been fitted with
internal combustion engines in which
the gas is manufactured from
briuuettes of Ignite. Ignite IS a
brown coal of comparatively poor COM
bustion and little used, even where it
is plentiful and cheap. The cost of fuel
for the engines mentioned is about
e. 25 per ton. At this rate the fuel cost
for 500 horse power would be about so
cents per hour, an exceedingly low fuel
cost. If the German engines are sue
cessful there is now apparent reason
why the same motive power cannot be
used on land.

Cleaner Fairs.

There has grown up in Maine We'll
defined sentiment against the mid
way" so well known as feature OF
our country fairs. The movement has
been growing several years and has
reached a point where the trustees of
the fairs have been obliged to take
cognizance of it. The people are de-
manding cleaner and better fairs every
year. The Gorham fair management
has been brought face to face with the
loss of it's State stipend because of OBJ
jectionable features and the men who
have to do with the management of
Topsham fair are in similar posi-
ton. With this demand for cleaner
fairs in mind much better class of at
fractions have been booked for the
present season. 1t will be interesting
to note whether or not it is true that
the people will not attend, as has been
asserted by the more liberal element.
1t is simply a question of whether
the people want cleanliness or filth.
1t is our opinion that the people pre-
fer a fair no part of which is of such
a character that wives and sisters cam
not attend it without seeing and hear
ing that which is an offence to de-
cency. The shows for men only are
not part of our fairs. They are a part
of the slime of the cities, something
tastes-not something to be Haunted
before the boys and ! girls of this
State.

Harrimanitis.

The Henry Clews & Co., market let
ter for the current week gives heed to
the alarming attack of Harrimanitis
with which Wall street is suffering.
'f@"A great deal more Importance is at
stachedgto Mr.. Harriman's health than
swouldsbe necessary if his securities

But the recent dazzling operations have

especially as their valuation is so vi

of other shares by the parent COM
pany."
Coming as it does from the office Of
a banking house of high standing. there
is a distinct note of warning in that
first sentence. 1t isn't the biased
statement of competitor. 1t is an
unbiased statement of fact.
THE stock market has again been
dominated by the Hartman issues, I'M
favorable rumOrS concerning his health
causing d sharp decline in Union Pa
cific, (which in turn precipitated large
realizing sales in the general market.
There has consequently been a good
deal of feverishness at times and a con-

cannot be said that the undertone of
confidence has been seriously impaired

artificial is generally understood and
creates more or less distrust. At the
same time the market still remains in
strong hands, and the probability is
that the leading shares will be protect
ed for the present at least against any
additional violent break"
That sentence which begins "Were it
not for the fear" is worth reading
twice. 1t indicates that the buying
public is slowly but surely learning it's
lesson, that the buying public has
learned to recognize stock manipulation
for shearing purposes and that the only
way to save it's wool is to keep at a
safe distance. The gamblers have
overreached themselves. There isn't
as much "easy money" as there used
to be though the fool crop is still worth
cultivating. Oldtime operators frankly
