Mr.. William Grant Brown. who was the
referee in the recent milk investiga tton'
calls attention to the fact that o0 per
cent Of the milk consumed in this city
is bought from grocers and other small
shopkeepers, who sell 1t from rorty-
Quart cans. This milk sells at from nve
to six cents a quart. He remarks upon
the lack of frugality in housekeepers who
paw three to four cents a quart merely
to have their milk delivered. But the
housekeepers feel surer Of the quanty
OF bottled milk than Of that sold by
erocers. If there were some system OF
Standardization based upon bacterio-
logical tests, such as Mr.. Brown says
exists in many European countries, and
housewives could be sure Of the quallty
Of milk sold In bulk by shopkeepers,
there would be q check upon the amount
sellers Of bottled milk could charge for
their product The agitation regarding
the purity of milk has put the public on
guard in respect to the dangers OF an
impure supply without affording them
any means of informing themselves
about the actual quality Of. what is
offered for sale.

WHEN To
ADVERTISE
The Dull Season is One Time a
Merchant Needs to do so.

There is nothing on earth so mystic
riously funny as an advertisement
says the Chagrin Falls (O.) Exponent
The prime first and last and all the
time object of an advertisement is to
draw custom. 1t is not and never will
be designed for any other purpose. So
the merchant waits till the busy sea-
son comes and hi~ store is so full of
customers that he can't get his hat off:
than he rushes to the printer and goes
in for advertising. When the dull sea-
son gets along and there is no trade
and he wants to sell his goods SO bad
he can't pay his rent he stops advertis-
ing That IS what some of them do,
but occasionally some level headed
| merchant does more Of it and scoops
ia all the business, while his neighbor
makes mortgages to pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything in
the store if you planted d cannon be-
hind the door, and that's the time the
advertisement is sent out on it's holy
mission. 1t makes light WORK for ad-
vertising, for chalk sign on the side
walk could do all that was needed and
a half holiday sig days in a week
But who wants to favor an advertise
ment? They are built to do hard work
and should be sent out in dull days,
when customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts and kicked in
sensible With bankrupt reductions and
dragged in with irresistible slaughter
of prices before he will spend a cent.
That's the end and aim Of advertising,
and if ever you open store don't try
to get people to come when they are
already sticking out Of The windows,
but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes in dull sea-
son, and you will wax rich and own a
fast horse and perhaps be able to
smoke a cigar once or twice a year
Write thiSrdown where you'll fall over
it every day. The time to draw bus:-
ness is when you want business.

IS CITY WATER CAUSE OF TYPHOID FEVER

DR.. w. D. Blanchar, city physician,
who publishes a notice to water users
in an another column. informs Us that
samples of our spring water have been
sent to Madison three different times
the past winter for an examination.
as to it's purity and thus far every
report has been favorable. He also
informed US that there we're five cases
of typhoid fever officially reported to
the city authorities, and whether the
cause for these, lies in the fact that
river water has been used at times
during the past winter, in the water
service is one in which the physicians
are somewhat in doubt. But as a
matter Of precautiOn, the city physi-
clan and others, advise the boiling of
water before using for drinking pur-
poses, as a precautionary measure to
prevent diseases. We now under
stand that nothing but spring water
is entering the water mains, as the
flow of water. is greater than it was
last fall, there may be no more neces-
slty for the use of river water. Reader,
please bear these facts in mind and
govern yourself accordingly, as your
best judgment dictates

AFTER THE TRUSTS

There has started at Washington a
national antitrust league-ap organ
ization of private citizens which will
try to accomplish at their own expense
what the Republican party and the
Reps blican representative should
have l0ag ago taken hold of as their
official duty.
The organization sill fight the big
trusts which control the necessities of
life and do the work which the present
administra ton has not said enough to
do. IL is proposed to organize gigan
tic league Of a million members, and
for financial support to rely on mem
bership fee Of % cents, ten cents of

There is a general wave of protest
all over the country against the trust
combinations in raising the price OF
food stuffs. Creamery butter has
been forty cents per pound, eggs forty
cents per dozen, pork and beef in the
same proportion. Leagues and clubs
have been organized pledging them
selves to fight these trusts by refusing
to use or purchase any of these high
priced food stuffS for a period of thirty
to sixty days, and where this has been
done, it is having its affects upon the
market. Congress should pass such
laws that would prevent a possibility,
of such combinations. Our laws
should be so framed with penalties
severe enough to prevent a possibility

METHODIST LAUNCH
NEW ORGANIZATION

The men of the Methodist congrega-
ton, met in the church parlors We'd
nesday evening for supper, on the in
vitation of the pastor who had called
them together in this social way to
discuss two questions, viz: ''Shall we
organize a mems club in our church?''
and "What can we do for the boys?''
Thirty three men sat down to a
beautiful supper Of oysters, parker
house rolls and butter, fried cakes and
coffee. after which Rev. W. A Newine,
the pastor, stated the object of the
meeting, showing the place of mans
organization in the church, in it's
relation to the church work. and civic
affairs. Mr.. Newing also deplored the
absence of a Y. NJ. G. A. in our city,
and asked the men to seriously con-
slider the boy problem. There comes
a time in bows life, said Mr.. New
ing, that it needs more than Sunday
School to hold him from places of
questionable and dangerous influences,
and the church should not leave this
recreation to be provided by the pool
rooms, saloons and other questionable
places of amusement. The questions
were informally discussed by many of
the men present, when it was unani-
mously voted to organize a mems club
and to appoint committee to see
what could be done regarding an
organization for the boys The club
voted to hold regular monthly meet
ings OF the third Wednesday of the
month. A committee on constitution
was appointed to report at the next
meeting. The following officers were
elected: President, H. F. Anderson:
vice president, Geo. T. Rowland: Sec
rotary, c. N. Renne; treasurer, T. J.
Cooper.

HOME.
round US.

Home! What a hallowed name;
how fun of enchantment and how
dear to every heart. How it touches
every fibre of the soul and strikes
every chord of the human heart with
its angelic fingers. Nothing but
death can break the spell What
tender associations are linked with
home. What pleasing images and
and deep emotions it awakens. It
calls upon the fondest memories of
life, and opens in our nature the
purest, deepest, richest, gush of
consecrated thought and feeling.
Home, home. There is no place like
home. Home of our childhood. How
affection clings and hoyers round
thee with her seraph wings.

INFLUENCE.

Influence, like a pebble dropped into
the water, will ever circle and widen
until it is lost in the vast ocean of
eternity In our own home, where
we spend the best part of our lives,
how far reaching, how amending is
our influence. Here is no neutral
ground, for within it's holy precincts
we wear no disguise. We are our
own selves around the fireside when
at home How sad that we should
exercise. self control while a strang-
er is present and in the presence of
our loved ones often give way to i'll
temper, and by our own unkind
words wound the loving hearts a

that was taken about ten years ago
of one of the departments of our
school that we could only find one
of the smiling youngsters of the bunch
who had stuck to PittsvilIe through
thick and thin. There was bunch
of twenty in the picture and they
have scattered in all directions. If
Editor Mckee is correct when he
states that they finally return to
spend their remaining days in our
midst we hope that those in this
bunch were hearty drinkers from our
far famed stream and that they are
not immune from the magic attraction
which its waters seem to have upon
all who have quenched their thirst
therefrom. Pittsville has need of
more young people.

BOOST YOUR HOME CITY.

We presume that every citizen of
our town is, or ought to be, desir-
Gus to see it grow, to see it improve
to see it advance in all the interests
that pertain to a town Of thrift and
enterprise. Again we presume that
if you, who live in your town, make
no effort in this direction who, if
there are any benefits accruing there
from would be the recipients thereof,
we do not believe our neighbors, who
have no particular interest in our
welfare, would be to very mindful of
US as to give us a boost by investing
a few thousand dollars for our spec
iaI good, or starting any enterprise
that would be for the upbuilding of
our town. If a town is ever built up
and placed in a growing condition
it will be directly orr Indirectly but
to those who live in it and if you
wish to know the steps to be taken
we will cite few. Talk it up, its
interests, its facilities and various
adaptibiHties to different branches
of industry. Write about it, beau
tify its streets, invest your money
in it, patronize its merchants and
every enterprise started as far as
it is at all consistent, elect good
men to office, advertise in its news
papers, be courteous to those who
come among you and never let an
opportunity to speak a good word
about it pass. Remember that every
dollar you invest is a permanent i'm
provement it is that much money at
interest, and is that much toward
building up your town.

general expenses. People are now
paying their taxes and they realize
what'th past and other administra-
tions have been costing We believe
that we voice the sentiment of the
small tax payers, when we say they
want economy practiced the coming
year. Any man who has the time to-
devote to the mayors office and will
give it his personal attention and care,
and consideration, we Will be glad to
vote for, and do what little we can
towards fayoring him for said Office /
We have no objection to any of those
who have been named. or many others
who might be named, but the question
is, who viii take it and give it their
time and attention. John L. Nash, |
the first named gentleman in the
above list, is man that is we'll quail |
fed for the place by experience and
training, and if he could be induced to
take it, with all its trials and diff
culties, with the united support of
the people back of him, we know he
would make an excellent mayor. We
have had no talk with him, and have
no information that he would be will /
ing to give his time and attention to
this office. He should be waited upon |
by some of our heavy tax payers, and |
find oDt whether he would take the
duties Of this office upon his shoulders
for the next two years. He has the |
most leisure and is well qualified by
business training for such a position.

MOST BRUTAL
CRIME IN HIS.
TORY Of COUNTY
Man Attacks Four-Year-OId
ChiId---Is now IN County Jail
in This City.

Merrill Daily Herald: -Undoubted-
ly the worst crime which was ever
committed in this county and posi-
bly, in the state of Wisconsin, hap
pened in the town of Tomahawk,
near Spirit Falls, Thursday evening
at about 4:30 O'Clock
Little four-year old Florence, daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Matt Nick. was
cruelty assaulted bya man who gave
his name as John Angus.
The man escaped immediate cap
ture by the officers and roamed a.
bout in the vicinity of Spirit Falls,
until Saturday afternoon when he
was captured on the Grandfather
road, by Chief-of-P Police McWithey, of
Tomahawk
He was brought to this city Sat
urday evening by that officer.
1t is rumored that Chief McWith-
ey had a hard time to keep the pris-
oner from the brother of the young
girl, as he had said he would shoot
the degenerate and was looking for
him with a gun.
The man was brought into county
court, before Judge Porter, Saturday
evening at about 1880 o'clock and
waived examination. He gave his
name as John Angus and is the man
who was sentenced by Judge Bell
of the second municipal court, at
Tomahawk to serve a term of thirty
days in the county Jail for tapping
a till and securing $14. His liberty
was short lived as he had been re-
leased for only week.
He gave his age as twenty seven
years and had lived in this vicini-
ty about one year.
Before coming north he had serv-
ed two Jail sentences and had at one
time belonged to the navy, from which
he was dishOnorably discharged.
1t is not known as yet whether
or not Angus will plead guilty. If
he decides to do so he will be taken
before Judge Reid in circuit court
a. Wausau.

of the necessities of life. At the pre-
sent labor wages, it is absolutely pro.
hibitive for common labor to provide
themselves with these necessities at
the present retail prices. This com.
bIned movement against the trusts is
making itself felt and we hope its in.
fuence will spread and make itself felt
upon congress at Washington and
bring about necessary legislation.
