Physicians Take Trip to Frederick

The vital interest Of Washington ply

Mix Company. at Frederick. Nd, at the
invitation OF the company
Mr. E. L. Cockrell. president OF the
company, met the party at the linton
Station and conducted them by a special
train tO the plant at Frederick. Here
the physicians witnessed demonstration
Of the company's plant and equipment
and it's process OF purifying and bottling
the milk. The plant was found TO be
exquisitely clean from top 20 bottom, and
the employees, in their white duck uni
forms, were in keeping with the general
immaculate appearance of the plant.
Particular interest was shown in the au-
tomato machinery by which bottles are
washed and sterilized, the milk filtered.
pasteurized, bottled and capped. and even
conveyed to the cars for shipment. with
out being touched by human hanG2.
The Concentrating Process.
In addition to supplying pasteurized ami
unheated milk, the company furnishes a
concentrated milk which will remain
fresh about thres times as long as other
milk. This milk. which is the eOmpaays
most favored product. Is filtered. purified
by centrifugation. heated for two hours
at a temperature o. 40 degrees Fahren-
heit TO destroy all pathageuic germs. and
concentrated BY continued blast Of
filtered air, to guarantee its freshness
until used. This milk. which is sold IN
der the name OF White Cross milk. Is
used by adding the same amount Of
water which has been removed, and the
milk is then nothing more nor less than
pure fresh cows milk
Unique Features.
\ novel feature of the company's sys-
TEN Of handling milk which has not
been heretofore practiced In Washing
ton is to treat and bottle their milk in
the country to avoid shipping it to the
city in metal cans, hauling Il 10 the
local dairy, and bottiing IL in impure and
dust-iaden city air Another novel fea-
ture Of the companys method Of handling
milk is 10 ship the bottled milk TO Wash
ington in refrigerator cars and deliver
tho milk 10 the customer direct from the
car. In this way they claim TO be able
to furnish milk which is not only abso-
lutely free from disease germs. but which
Is fresh and sweet every day in the year.

Collier Wilcox. Harper e. Brothers,
Publishers, New York.
Tho preface Of this book explains
that 1T was begun az a personal manual
OF spiritual fortification. Then il be.
came of wider interest, and ultimately
of keen inquiry, and determination
to mako n following of tho traces Of
poetic religious feeling down the agos
of English poetry. That is, religious
feeling as distinguished from dogmatjc,
ssectarian. OF, officially recognized re,
bgion. The latitude of choice in com
plJIng this book is very great. The
spencer hymns are rejected, and also
Donne's "Second Anniversary. But
there are poems here from Swinburnc
aud Shelley, the criticism for which
the author lticipatcs and answers.
The only Official religious hymns in
clnded are 'Urbs Bcata Bicrusalcm' -
and "Venl Creator Spiritus." " These are
included because it is so difficult To get
a complete reprint of thcm. There is
ssn astonishing number of poems in the
book, which is really not very large,
The eldest poems included are of tho
thirteenth century. then some of the
fifteenth, and from these along to tho
present, as poems were found aitablc
for tho purpose Of the author. The
compiler has used extraordinarily GOOD
judgment and taste IN these selections
and the work is one to commend itself
to every lover of good poetry combined
with religious feeling

This is "a keen, searching work on

to arrive at his solid premises and reach

and the nobility, but of tho people.
search and results than has heretofore
appeared in English. In considering the
influence of money and the CONNER
cial spirit throughout the period of
Roman greatness, the author had
TO search below the surface for the
beginnings of the causes, the effects of
which presently appear. In this search

rims. Aud yet what he writes is es.
sentially his own. He gives liberal
Interpretation to what is called the
money power. and discusses subjects
that do not at first seem specially re-
lated TO the main inquiry. Yet the
idea that the Romans owed much both
of their greatness and in their ull.
mate failure 10 the supreme estimate
they put upon wealth and its couc0mi-
tants, is never lost from view. Much
of the book is taken up with dis
cussion of the prosperous period Of tie

back under the republic. and many
OF the references bark back to that
early period II any criticism could
be made upon the work at all. it is
that it gives too much Importance to
