Impure Milk 10 be Guarded Against

Great and timely efforts are being put forth nationally and State wise To guard the people from using impure and adulierated foodstuifs, including what they drink. Much good has thus been accomplished in preventing sick ness and death and also unjust ex. pense. But there K much more To be done 10 reduce the death rate by adop- ting preyentable measures. To do this efiectuHllY society must be better or- gapized in order to cooperate with each government in enforcing their laws. To illustrate the need of such organization We relate the following in. eident:
 A lady having country home at Woodmont, this State, brought suit against the milkman who served her. | claiming Fl ,oo0, on account ef using some of his milk she became inocua-
 ted with typhoid germs that caused
 her severe attack of fever during the
 epidemic of typhoid fever in that place last summer. She proved that his barn and barn.yard were in a filthy eondi- | ton, and on this she based her suit. This is the first suit of the kind in this
 State, and II successful, series of oth-
 CTS will follow, II k said.
 | This State should have n law to H.
 cense milk dealers with rules attached defining what duties shall govern them
 In the cleanliness of their cow-stables,
 barns and proper care of their cows;
 and the middlemen, who handle milk
 should be restricted by rules in the
 same way. Any violation of these
 rules by either of these parties should
 subject them to severe penalties, and no law suits like the above will be re. guired.
 As one measure, there ought to be q
 mills inspector, as many cases of sick
 ness and death have been traced to im- pure milk, caused by the filth to which the milk had been exposed. In New York and other large cities, where stringent milk-inspe1tion laws have been enforced, the death rAte Of chil. dren. especially infants,--has been greatly reduced. With Impure drink ing water, impure milk may be credit ed with the yearly slaughter of DO 900 to 400, 900 little children, according :o the Census Bureau. Putnam k happi- ly supplied with pure public water and maybe also with pure milk but If one out of the entire number who serve the city, should be careless about the state of his COW barns, the entire city may be exposed to an epidemic of ty- phoid as was Woodmont.
 This matter of caring for the public health Is too important to neglect any means, proved to be essential, to dl- minish the alarming death rate, which tho government declares amounts to not less than ao0, ,ooo children annually, and which high medical authority as. serts CT per cent k preventable. The pitiful thing 10 hear, in connection, is that it goes on through ignorance, po- verty and earelessness. In this hideous slaughter of the innoccnts we are .'our brothers keeper.n

The annual report of the Windam county finances, printed in our lasi issuc are not only in most satisfactory condition, and.must be very gratifying to the tax-payers, but by comparison with the financial condition of the oth. CT counties of the State are highly flat tering to our County Commissioners as financiers. The report shows that there is large surplus in the county treasury and no indebtedness.
 The county Jail and the Temporary Home are the two institutions that cause the greatest treasury deficiencies Of other counties, but our Commission ers are enabled to show s balance to lhe good of the former, and deficit of only about xs69 of the latter. This has been the continued successful manage ment of the county aiiairs since they came under the control of the present Board of Commissioners.
 The receipts al the county jail for the year amounted to ti9 ,s62. s6-including &lo,3i3 received from the State for the board of prisoners--and t7,oS7.ee re- celved from ear nings of prisoners. The total expenditures were 6,546 D. leaving balance In the jail's favor of N,si6.6l.
 The Temporary Home showed re- ceip,s of s7 e42. 54, and expenditures of 6, 1901 .a3-- making the small deficit of only Saaaaa.
 The total receipts of the county were xa1 ,5aa..ss: the total expenses $2s, ,5ls.2 2s leaving . balance in the treasury of $9,uSl 10.
 The assets Include real estate valued at sss, 100, and personal property inven- toried at Sib,0sa. .S5--makipg the total assets sl0s, ,asS.55.
 Concerning the balance in the treasu. ", the Commissioner announce in their report;

 Pietro understood; that was differ ent. If his excellency would pay over to him the receipts, he could conduct the tourists as often as he pleased. Yes. To him it was tire some. Most people were fools.
 Lets begin the lesson. then"

 Pause.
 "Che tempo fa?" said Pietro sud- denly
 O'Mally drowned and jammed down the coal in his pipe. "Wo-no, howl -is the weather. Who can say? Che 10 sa?"
 "Benei"
 Solemnly they went over the same ground. To be sure. O'Mally always failed to get the right twist to the final vOwels, but he could make himself understood, and that was the. main thing. It was a rare moment

to him at night to strike Smith dumb by asking in Italian for a match, a cigar, or a book. Smith wondered how he did it: but when asked to join the pr mary class at the pOrter's lodge, he always ex- cused himself by saying that he was deep in the writing of a comedy, which was true. It there was a play in ones system. the Villa Ari- adne was sure to bring it out.
 Having finished the lesson for that day, they shared the flask of wine
 Tt is old, Pietro." said O'Mally.
 "Vecchio. anticato," responded Pie tro with grave satisfaction.
 Hold on, now; this is no lesson. You talk English. Now about this guide business. You will let me be guide if l turn over the profits: that is agreed?"
 Yes" Pietro wished the flask had been twice as large.
 "All right; that's fixed. By the way, Pietro, did you ever see the princess?"
 Pietro looked into the bowl of his pipe. No, she not come here; never"

| solitary La Signorina never wen. down to Florence, not even to Fiesolc
 so Worth never joined his con panions when they took pleasant ex-
 cursions into the city
 As one fences In the dark, instnc- lively. so she kept him a foirs length away. Yet she would have been glad had he spoken; she could
 have silenced him effeetually then.
 It was rather nerve racking to
 wait for this unwelcome declaration day by day
 They had now lived in the Villa Ariadne for two weeks, a careless,
 thoughtless, happy -go-lucl<y family. The gossip might have looked askance at them; but La Signorina would not have cared and the others would not have thought.
 Every afternoon at two o'clock O'Mally and the ancient gardener would get together and give each other lessons, the one in English and the other in Italian. When this was done, a small flask of Chianti was forthcoming, and the old man en- joyed himself as he hadn't done since his youth: a pipe of good to- bacco and two glasses of Chianti. It was enough for any reasonable man. He never inquired where the wine came from; sufficient it was to him that it came at all. And O'MaHy saw no reason for discovering it's source; in fact, he admired Pietro's reti- cence. For. like Planchet in the Three Musketee-s, O'Maliy had done some neat fishing through one of the cellar Windows. Through the broken pane of glass he could see bin upon bin of dust-covered bottles. Burgundy, claret, Sauterne, cham pagne, and no end of cordials, prime vintages every one of them. And here they were, useless to any one turning into jelly from old. age. It was sad. It was more than that it was blessed shame. All these bottles were, unfortunately, on the far side of the cellar. out of reach, and he dared not break another win dow. Under this which served him lay the bin of Chianti. This was better than nothing; and the princess would never miss the few bottles he purloined. Sometimes he shared a | bottle with Smith, who was equally l incurious.
 Today was warm and mellow. On | the stone bench by the poTter's lodge, ! hard by the gate. sat the old Flor | entine and O'Mally. From some un- known source O'Mally had produced ! a concierge's hat and coat a little | moth- eaten, a little tarnished. but | Both were smoking red | clay pipes with long bamboo stems. |
 "Pietro," said O'Mally, teetering have you ever waited for money | from home 2"
 Pietro puffed studiously, separating | each word with all the care of a l opening the wings of some | new butterfly. He made a negative | sign.
 Well, don't you ever wait. There's | to it. But I've got an idea"
 Pietro expressed some surprise
 Yes, and a good idea, too. If any tourists come today, l propose to ! show them round the place" O'Mally | was quite in earnest.
 Pietros eyes flashed angriiy. "No | no, MineI all mine,"
 "Oh, I'm not going to rob you.

I am a hopeless puzzle, this fancy l you call love will evaporate."
 Do not believe that q never intended that you should see me again. and yet against my better judgment, I have barred my face to you upon a simple request I am not without some vanity Men have called me beautiful. But, oh, it is a sinister beauty; it has brought good to no one least of all to it's owner. You met Mrs. Sandford in Naples. Tell me what she said"
 He sought refuge in silence.
 Did she not earnestly warn you against me-"
 HYes," reluctantly.
 And yet you would not heed her warning?'' sadly.
 'I have told you that l am mad"
 q am coming to believe it. There are two of us. That dinner! And out of that innocent prank comes this. Folly, always folly!" And as she remembered the piece of folly she was about to start out upon she laughed. Mad? Yes. Only to your madness there is some reason; to mine, none"
 "So you some times recollect that night? You have not forgotten?"
 "No. The pleasure I derived has frequently returned to my mind"
 "Ah, if only you would tell me what prevents friendship between us"
 You say you love me: is that not enough? Love and friendship are as separate as the two poles; and you are man enough of the world to know that. I have no wish to wreck your life nor to make mine more miserable. Well, I will tell you this: there is a barrier between us a barrier which only death can tear down or break asunder. Give up all idea, all thought of me. You will only waste your time. Come; is your love strong enough to offer single sacrifice?''
 Not if it is to give you up"
 Very well. l see. then, that must submit to this added persecu- ton. can not force you"
 ''So long as I live I shall go on dreaming of you. So long as, you keep me in darkness as to your trouble I shall pursue you Oh, do not worry about persecution. l shall only seek to be near you"
 Good night" she said, and good by," She wound the veil round her face. took half a dozen steps, halted and turned. then went on, beyond the light, into the dark.
 How long Hillard stood by the steps of the church, watching that part of the darkness through which she had disappeared, he never knew. Merrihew tapped him on the arm.
