Milk Inspector Dr. w A. Chappe1l writes The Bulletin as follows regard ing milk:
 The production and distribution of milk and milk products engage the attention of no small part of our pop ulation. The use of milk is general and not limited to any class or local
 ity; it is regarded as a necessity by almost every family, and for this req son information regarding it is import ant In the northern and eastern sec t1ons of the United States dairying is carried on very extensively; in large parts of these sections it is the chief occupation of the farmers. In the south and west the number of cows is rapidly increasing. The United States is regarded IS the leading dairy country in the world In 1899 the an nual value of our dairy products was estimated to exceed six million dollars and the value of the milch cows in the same year was over five hundred million dollars. There are about nine teen million cows in this country, or about one to every four inhabitants. It is estimated that the milk from five million cows is annually consumed as milk in the United States, the aver age being about 27 1-2 gallons per year to each person; this means about a good-sized tumblerful each day. The first thing to be borne in mind is that milk is naturally a pure product If any milk is found unclean, unWhole- some, or disproportionated in its prop CT parts, the chances are that it is not the fault of the COW. In such cases the presumption is that some person is to blame, either the one who cares for the COW or the one who handles the milk. If those who buy milk used proper care they would have little trouble in always ~rocuring a good clean article It is possible to produce milk free from harmful contamination, and if impure milk is delivered the dairyman or the dealer may be held responsible and it is the duty of the customer to report it. When the mil man knows that his customers will not accept poor or unclean milk, he will stop offering it. Pure as milk may be in it's naturale State it is a perishabIe product. Thunderstorms, impurities, warm temperature, and other condi- tfons known to exist when milk is most liable to give trouble have been blamed for it's changes. Any milk showing a sediment is Suspicious. are abundant Thus dirty milk may be dangerous as well as disgusting. The dirt in milk consists mostly of particles of dust. manure, and hairs which fall into the pail from the body of the cow during milking Milk from unhealthy or unthrifty cows or that which has been handled by sick per sons IS dangerous, as it may Contain stances.
 Typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diph- theria, and consumption Cor tubercul- osfs) have been spread by milk. The proper care of milk after it has been delivered to the consumer is a matter of great importance It is desirable to have it in the best possible condi- tfon for use, and it is not desirable to blame the n1iIkman for things for which he is not in the least responsi- ble. Milk, therefore should be kept in a cool place free from odors, and in a perfectly clean vessel of suitable material Undoubtedly the best way

WHAT MILK INSPECTOR FINDS Conditions are Suoh that He is Assistant Every s Family in Getting Pure Milk.

to secure a good milk supply is to deal with a dairyman or milkman who is thoroughly honest and clean. He should be required to show quarterly certificates from the inspector, who is a veterinarian, stating that after a careful examination of his cows they were found to be healthy, and that the sanitary conditions of the stables and surroundings and the health of the employees were approved. When the writer first entered into the work as milk inspector in July, 1908, he found many stables so dark that it was inn possible even at midday to see ones way in them, and they were so close that it was a relief to get out into the fresh air after being inside for a few minutes. The cows supply most of the dirt which gets into milk. as anyone will admit, if he is at all fa- miliar with the conditions in most sta- bleS. It is not uncommon to see cows covered with so much dust that the color of the backs cannot be seen; and their Hanks, hips and sides are sometimes plastered with layers of manure When the work of cleaning the cows is neglected. it is impossi- ble to keep milk clean when milking
 Every milch COW should be curried and brushed daily- and the udder and lower parts wiped with a damp cloth just before milking Here is where the most of the bacteria comes from The real contamination occurs after
  of careful milking. dirt. particles of dust, hairs, even bits of manure from the Hanks or udder of the COW, may fall into the milk. All of these things carry more or less bacteria contamina- tion Dry dust of the stable floor contains great numbers and varieties of bacteria This dust soon settles, and an open milk pail catches a large amount. But the contamination does not end here. The pails or the cans may not be properly cleaned, and the corners or seams may hold small par ticles of dirt or sourt milk. These impurities are full of bacteria, which quickly find it's way into the milk. As milk is one of the food products we should be very careful where we buy our milk, as I have said, before, select a good, clean milkman.
 Pure milk at cents per quart Is equal to one pound of beef at Is cents a pound. On the average, each per twenty gallons of milk year, or that each family of five used about a quart of day.
 We must admit that the best food for infants is milk, and most healthy babies thrive on good cows milk or cows milk simply modified, therefore I say we cannot be too careful about our milk supply in our city. The last report from your health officer shows the death rate was less this last year than years before; therefore 1 claim milk inspection is what we need in our city. They have them in nearly all other cities in the United States.

The notion that the Prussian elector- al system is based on universal suf- frage gets a black eye from figures con tdined in a recent official report. The three class system comprising the vot- CTS, as it worked out in practice in the election of 1907. is the source of some of the figures.
 From this report it appears that there are 2,214 electoral districts in which the first class consists of a sim gle voter, and 95 electoral districts in which the second class consists of a single voter. The first class in I,703 districts and the second class in 136 districts consists of two voters. There are many cases in which all persons usIl4 i'd Je@a .Esss, s7 Enn --@4a.- s--

Japanese Woman Murderer Tells an
 Imaginative Story.

Reincarnation was made the defense for murder in the trial at Tokio of a woman named Yasu and her lover, Yataro. The two are accused of kill ing Yasu's husband, Kichigoro. Yasu, says The Japan Advertiser. delivered an extraordinary address to the judge.
 Listen with your whole souled att tention," she began. Hest you shouId again, which I will never do. I had a very profound motive in killing my husband. Kfchigoro. It was all due to the dispeusation of Providence
 Tn my previous existence I was a. beautiful geisha. named Yaekichi A certain feudal lord fell in love with me and proposed to buy me. I dis liked him. yet what could I do? He madly insisted and had no choice but to yield.
 in this sad predfcanlent a gallant knight whose name was Sadaen1on braveiy came to my rescue. He de- clared that I should not be welded to the man dislilzed, and then and there took me from the influence of the lord. This was the beginning of the genuine love that sprang up between the knight and myself and finally ended in our happy marriage.
 My benefacor in the previous life is the self-same Yataro as he now stands before you. The husband K1lIeu was III lne IOEIner sra only my errand boy. Imagine the wrath of Providence for my preposterous act in deserting my real husband and bene- factor and marrying the servant Heaven threatened me if persisted in this hideous sin. So in obedience to the will of Providence, I took the life of Kichigoro, the reincarnation of my former servant"

A THIRD TRACK.
Runnor That One Will Be Built Be-
 tween Groton and Midway.

rumor is in circulation to the ef- feet that the New Haven road is to add another track to its line between it's Midway yard and the Groton sta ton and also that the distance be- tween Saybrook and Westbrook was going to be four-tracked This ru- nor came from a source which is con sidered to be authentic.
 It is considered that the construc- tion of the additional track between Midway and Groton is the continuation of the movement started about three years ago to add another track to the present equipment. The matter was considered by the railroad officials at that time and the advisability discuss ed. The matter was apparently drop ped until the new rumor was put in to circulation.

COUGH WEATHER

When the weather is cold and stormy, most of us are more or less subject to the unpleasant experience of colds, with the consequent wearing strain of the cough and the danger of more serious trouble apt to follow neglect.
 People who practice deep breathing and who use ordinary care to avoid sudden changes of temperature, dampness and ex- posture, are less liable to take cold than those of less method teal habits. At the first sign of cold steps should be taken to check it. A simple, inexpensive and effective remedy is made by mixing two ounces of GIycerine q half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. It is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co.,, of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing through drug gists, that a tea spoonful of this mixture four times a day will break up a cold in tWenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curabIe.

GAME LAW QUESTIONED

Watertown-Backed by the opinion
of Attorney General s. w. Clark, State
Game Warden w. F. Bancroft is
ready to fight cut in the ourts the
question Of whether the game law Is
constitutional. The issue was raised
by Attorney Joe Kirby of Sioux Falls,
who contends that the feature exact
ing a license fee of 81 from resident
hunters is "a discrimination that will
not stand up in supreme court.
In submitting his opinion the at
torney general says that the supreme
court of the United States has al
ready passed upon the right of a state
to tax a resident more than a non
resident. He advises the state game
wardens, and all county game wardens
as well. to bring prosecutions without
hesitation under the law as it now
stands.
