DR.. George W. Coler, health officer OF

| from the infants supply stations OF that
| city after four years experiment with
! the product. He declares that since he
| has been supplying the central station
with raw milk, the mortality among IN

while the policy Of pasteurizing. reduced
| infant mortality, il has been his obser-

| This demonstrates that cleanliness and
| GOODNESS are the primary needs, and that
| raw milk is all right il it receives the
| proper care. But there IS the rub. When
milk must be handled in large quantities
| it IS difficult to give it the care required
| 10 keep it sweet; therefore for general

! the farm, and If DR.. Golfer has demon

| will get product that is better than
| pasteurized milk.

! original shape. This affords considerable
! latitude; and when the fact is considered

| ported from Quebec only $4,000 cords
came frem' crown lands, and that this lat

| fact that the international Paper COM

and has upward Of 100000 invested

| Professor J. Laurence Laughlin does

shows that increase of the gold supply
| has occurred without influencing prices
that the gold supply has enormously
increased in periods during which prices
have declined. His reason for disbeliev-
| ing the gold and high price theorists is
a strong one Another strong reason is
| that the larger production OF gold has
been offset by the abandonment of the
! double standard for the single monetary
| standard. There is larger demand for
gold as well as larger supply.
There were always, during the dark

kentucklans who held that Caleb Pow
ers was martyr, but the most enthusi-
astlc OF his friends would not have been
| rash enough at that time to predict that
| in this year of grace 1910, he would be
not only free but 4 candidate for con-
gress. Powers was three times convict
| ed CT completely In the assassination of
Governor GOebel of Kentucky. At one
time he was sentenced to be hanged
| and twice he was condemned to life i'm
prlsonment. Finally he was pardoned
| after a mIstrlal. The present prospect
seems to be that if Powers is not made
| the congressional candidate OF the Re
publican party by the district committee
he will present himself as a candidate
| at the primary The district is Repub-
ilcan by large majority, and if Powers
runs the chances are he Will be elected.

Wireless telegraphy IS to be introduced

fish are plentiful and the market unfa-

expected to utilize ethereal communities
