Now that the government has a

Wright aoroplane In speaking about
the matter today. he said.
Under the terms of the contract the
Wright brothers will be required to in
struct two army officers in the mech
anism and operation of the aeroplane. I
shall assign Lieutenants Iahm and Fou
lois for this duty. As a matter of fact.
both men are now thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the machine and require no
further Instructions. However the
Wrights will remain here long enough
to carry out the full terms Of the con-
tract.
Il have not determined whether the
aeroplane will be maintained at Fort
Myer or elsewhere. While all the ex-
lperiments with aeroplanes have been
conducted at that post, IL is not the

Raw Milk-Like Raw Meat
Is a Dangerous Food
There tubercular that sterilization
There other way always avoid getting infected milk

This change from raw milk to sterilized
milk is a question of safety, not taste.
Sterilized milk, like all heated milk, has a
slightly almond taste. Some people may say
they like raw milk the better.
Some may like potatoes raw, but raw
starch won't digest. And some may like raw
meat, perhaps, but we know we dare not eat
it.
So with raw milk-in a multiplied way. 1t
is so often infected that careful people know
that they must avoid it.
Milk that's unsterilized is always unsafe.
Evening journal., 1909-08-17
Perfectly Sterile

Van Camps Milk is sterilized after the
cans are scaled. There is not germ of any
kind in it.
The slight almond favor is due TO this
sterilization. 1t is the favor of heated milk.
The result is a milk that is safe. Children
can drink it without thought of infection.
In the use of raw milk, infection at some
time is almost inevitable. The infection may
come from tubercular cows, from diseased
milkmen, from uncleanly dsiries, from the
water used in washing cans.

CRAZE ON FOR
LINCOLN CENT
If People Think They'll Ever
be ot a Premium They
Have Another Guess

The advent of the Lincoln penny and
the talk that those bearing the three
initials Of the designer will become
valuable after awhile because no more
of them are to be issued. has set poo-
pie to talking about other coins that
have been issued by the Government
and have become valuable because now
they are scarce and in the hands Of
collectors. Wilmington people grabbed
up the pennies rapidly, but probably
this was much through curiosity as
through any thought of holding them
until they become valuable. Such hold
ing would be useless because there
have been too many of such pennies
issued 10 make them valuable on ac-
count Of their scarcity unless the gov
ernment should call them in. Even
then SO many Of them would remain in
circulation that their value would not
be Increased.
Collectors are the only persons who
pay premiums on this kind Of money,
and they already have as many as they
want The three-initial Lincoln PEN
ny may be placed in the same category
as the nickel with the word cents"
left off, which was issued some years
ago. This nickel was practically the
same design as a five dollar gold piece
issued then. and some of the crooks
conceived the idea of gliding the neckel
and passing il for a five dollar gold
piece Thegovernment called i'm those
nickels, and It was thought then that
shortly they would be so valuable that
everyone saved all they could get hold
Of great quantity of these were
held out. so many i'm fact that there
never has been a premium on them,
and they were gradually put i'm cir
culation until now there are a large
number Of them floating around.
There are. however, great many
coins which viii bring more from the
collectors than their face value The
most famous Of these coins, of course,
is the 1904 silver dollar. II one OF
these coins as 1t came fresh from the
mint were offered for sale Il would
bring from $500 to $1,000 One that
had been in circulation, but had not
been mutilated. would bring from $500
to $500, and ono in any condition so
that II could be certainly shown not
10 be a counterfeit, would bring at
least $500 and probably more. If a
mans ancestors. living back in 1894.
had boarded a few hundred Of these
dollars and passed them down in a
sealed box. they would mean quite a
fortune today
Another coin that is valuable today
is the one cent piece made of nickel.
This coin has the flying eagle on Il
and bears the date of 1856, and viii
bring four or five dollars.
The gold dollar. while not rare, is
worth two or three times its face value
The government stopped issuing them
twenty or more years ago. and 81
many of them have been gathered by
collectors or have been made into ban
I giles or pins that they are a scarcity
and are becoming valuable. So arr
the three dollar gold piece, which Is
no longer issued.
The list Of valuable coins Is a Ions

them. But in each case the coini
have become valuable only after man,

Healthy HoIstein Cows

Our cows are Holsteins-the worlds best
breed Robust, contented, famous for their
splendid vitality.
Holstein milk is immeasurably better than
the milk from inongrel cows.
These cows are all inspected. Millions of
tubercular cows are MIXED every day. but
not one can be found in our herds.
This milk, fresh from the COW, is placed in
a vacuum. And a moderate heat, because of
the vacuum, throws off the water in steam.
Thus we throw off two-thirds of the water,
and the milk that results is as thick as thick
cream. When you replace this water you
have a multiplied bulk, as rich as the richest

made an arrangement which proved
satisfactory. 1t can be duplicated as
follows: First got the material, a
piece of zinc 12x14 inches, a piece of
asbestos cord two fet long. and a pair
Of leather shoe laces. In the center
OF the zinc cut an oval opening, 4 1-2
x6 inches, and around 1t one-half inch
from 1t. and three-fourths of an inch
apart, punch row of holes large
enough to admit the asbestos cord
Next lace the cord through a hole
over the edge the zinc and through
|. the next. and so on all the way
around. This brings the cord against
the pipe. making 1t noiseless, and be
ing of asbestos, 1t will not burn. Now

They make that sight possible with

Not so with the triple mirror! Used
faithfully at each dressing, one can
know to certainty whether she tur.
ties her neck or carries it gracefully
poised so as to eliminate the double
chin as much as possible.
She can see for herself whether the
new pointed collar Is becoming or

THE POST BOY PASSES
His Picture not Upon the New Special
Delivery Stamp.

Delivery Stamp.
The historic post boy passed into
history with the arrival of a
new assortment of special delivery
stamps, lich bear designs minus the
mythical youth on bicycle. Post
boys tn emselves were abolished from
the service about two years ago, but
the design of the boy riding a wheel
was retained Oh the special delivery
stamps. The new stamps are smaller
than the old ones and are scarcely
bigger than the new fifteen cent is
sues.
Since the beginning OF the postal
system there haj been a place in its
heart for the post boy. It was the
post boy of our grandmothers and
grandfathers who delivered the mail
at al times of the year, and whose
picture adorned the early issues of
stamps. Through softness of heart
the Government at Washington al
lowed his figure to be kept on the
special delivery stamps. but now he
has to go. The early stamps pictured
him riding at breakneck speed on a
horse. the later ones put him on
railroad train or mail cart, then he
ran on foot for while, and then he
was given n bicycle.
When it came time for the new
stamps the officials were confronted
with the problem Of a boyless mail
service. All the post Office clerks
are men more than twenty-one years
old. and even thJ substitutes who stay
in the office during the summer have
TO pass civil service examinations.
The boy has no place in the modern
post Office, although his elimination
has been completed only within the
last few years.
The new style stamp is much diff
ferent from the old. It is much more
conspicuous, being green in color,
with glaring edges that catch the
eye. Since the o-Ger wa. issued in
Washington doing away with the
necessity of purchasing special deliv-
cry stamps there has been a total
falling off of about 100000 special
delivery stamps. 1t is advised by Of
ilcials at the office that special deliv-
cry STAMPS be used on letters instead
OF using the ordinary ones, as they
quickly catch the eye Of the men hand
ling them and are sure of being rec
ogniZed.
