the tuberculin test; just SO soon as
the consumer makes it a point to In
form himself of the dairy which sup
plies him. and. most important OF all,
just as soon as he shows a willing
ness to pay the dairyman what it
costs to, produce clean milk, plus
reasonable margin OF profit, then and
not before the milk supply will be
clean and wholesome. free from the
dirt of the stables, the germs of tu-
berculosis and the millions Of bacteria
which develop in few hours in un~
cooled and unclean milk.
Results Of Test.
During the year 482 samples OF
milk have been analysed, of which 399
were legal and SO were illegal. These
analyses represent samples OF milk
produced In diaries in every part OF
the state and shipped to the labora-
tory by the state food inspectors and
by the inspectors of those cities and
towns which have an organized corps
of health inspectors but which, as yet,
maintain no municipal laboratory.
While the use of preservative is far
less extensive than formerly, unfor-
tunately some dairymen still disregard
the health of the infants along the
line of their milk route and poison
their food by formaldehyde and borax.
The sale of formaldehyde for use in
food products and teaching of its use
is prohibited by law. And yet the
Lyons Department Store at Hammond
kept for sale to those who wished it
solution of formaldehyde which was
| called milk Keep" and which they
! recommended to their customers as a
reliable agent to keep milk from sour
ing. The pure food law fixes certain
standards for milk. The sanitary food
! law exacts certain conditions OF clean
Illness. If the milk samples collected
have violated either law, they are
classed as adulterated and prosecu
tons brought against the responsible
parties.

MAKE A SPLENDID START
Evangclistic Meetings at the baptist
Church Opened Tuesday Night
For the Series.

The opening service of the
gelistic series of meetings, with Rev.
j. d. Conant of Minneapolis, as
preacher, was held Tuesday evening
in the Baptist church. There was a
large audience present to greet Mr..
Conant, who expressed his apprecia-
ton and gratitude for the honor &C
corded him in asking him to re-
turn for another meeting this year.
He spoke on the theme, 1.-The
People Had a Mind to Work." sug-
gested by words in Nehemiah. He
called attention to the fact that GER
tain laws are the basis of action and
are to be obeyed in all departments
of life if success is assured, and this
is especially true in religious life
and work. When the people have q
mind to work and act in accordance
with such laws spiritual success will
be attained. Then Mr.. Conant en-
phasized three essentials If the peo-
| pie are to really show that they
have a mind for successful work. LIST
United Effort. End. Enthusiastic Ser
vice. 3rd, Persistent toll in the field.
He then closed with. an arnes APP
peal for action along these lines.

Showing a Bad Example

carefulness had an advertisement in
serted in a local newspaper for a
message boy, and a young fellow
who understood the kind of a gen.
tleman who was advertising came
to apply for the situation, and while
the grocer was telling him how care
full he must be a fly settled on a bag
of sugar and the grocer caught 1t
and threw it away. The boy then
said: eff you want me to be careful
you are showing me a bad example,
"Why?" replied the former.
Because" said the boy, "you
have thrown that fly away without
brushing the sugar of its feet

THE STATE CONVENTION
Young Mems Christian Association
Will come to Mitchell Three
Days, Feb. 12-1I.

While the annual convention of the
Young Mems Christian Association
was scheduled to be held in this city
the dates for the same had not been
fixed. Late Monday afternoon the
local members of the state committee
held a meeting in the rooms of the
association in the city hall and reach
ed a decision as to the best time to
hold the convention. Secretary Par
sons, of Minneapolis, vas present
at the meeting, and he assured the
committee that he would be here for
the big gathering. The dates for the
annual meeting are Feb ~, 10, IA,
beginning Friday evening and clos
ing Sunday evening.
This is the first convention in
which the college and city %associa-
lions will be represented together, as
previous to this year there have not
been sufficient city associations in the
state for them to be represented in
the convention. Good progress has
been made in the past year in the
establishment of the city associations
and they are given a place in the
annual convention. 1t is expected
that fully 200 delegates will be pre-
sent at the meeting, the college dele
gates predominating in numbers
without doubt.
The state committe is made up of

GOES BACK TO OLD HOME
Dawson County Young Man Gets
Few Suggestions From his Old
time Friend About Things

When a former citizen goes back
to Hudson Bob Schaber, editor of
the Hudsonite, usually has some
thing pertinent to say to to the in
dividual, as is the case with Will
Coleman, who recently spent a week
or so back at his former home, Hud-
son. The Hudsonite of last week
has the following comment to make
Hudson:
Will Coleman, better known to
his many Hudson friends by his
boyhood nickname of "Wicker,"
came down from his farm near
Mitchell and shook hands and Wis
tied with his many Hudson friends
a few days last week and this. The
boys tried to keep him here a week
or two, but they could not do it,
for Wicker is a big farmer out his
way and he does not neglect his
stock, and wants to he there to see
that things are properly taken care
of on his farm.
Doesn't change much, Wicker
doesn't and he looks about as good
to us as when us two used to scrap
each other and for each other, when
we were a couple of kids. And his
old pals here are all tickled as can
be to see him lope along the trail of
continuous prosperity, as he is do
ing, for Wicker has prospered. He
did not get his property handed to
him on silver platter or anything
Like that, but he was out hustling
for it right along. He used to do
two mems work here the last few
years that he farr1ed for himself in
this vicinity, and he hung onto his
coin. He is no miser or anything
like that, but he is steady and didn't
try to keep up with the high rollers
just to be in the push. After he had
accumulated a little wad of the ever
needful he invested it in Dawson
county land, buying a farm within
a few miles of Mitchell, which has
doubled in value a couple Of times
since he has owned 1t. Three years
ago he went out there to farm the
place himself and he has shown us
all that he can make money farming
as we'll as the next fellow.
Only thing that the girls don't
like about Wicker is that he is so
blame shy and when they try to
throw their sunny smiles his way,
he fades away SO suddenly that there
is a regular path pushed through the
ambient atmosphere which he made
while doing the fadaway, and pur-
suit is vain for Wicker is diffidence
itself and says no wedding bells for
him, and even though our lovely
maidens sigh they sigh for him in
vain, and it looks now as though
Wicker was a sure huff old batch
like Bradley and Rial and Jake
Schlup only they say it isn't their
fault # they are.
Anyway we are all glad to see
Wicker; are all glad hat Wicker
came to see us and that he is look
ing SO fat and handsome and that
he is doing so we'll financially, anG
we have not yet given up hope alto
gether, and believe the time is com
ing when his exceeding diftidence
will be rapidly and easily cured.

Need Of Giving Quickly.

New York Tribune: For weeks to
come Italy's most urgent need will
be food, clothing and shelter for the
homeless. If, as is not improbable
100000 lives have been lost, the
number of survivors whose distress
calls for prompt relief must be
twice or thrice as great. Both in
Sicily and Calabra there are undoubt-
eddy scores OF small towns in which
dwellings have almost as completely
wrecked as those of Messina and
Reggie. The mental anguish caused
by the loss of friends and property
only time can alleviate; but food
and clothing can be supplied by mea-
ey, and money can be transmitted by
cable.
