Bacteria In Milk.

The souring of milk, as we'll as the
ripening Of cream and cheese, is due
to the bacteria in 1t, and without bac-
terra these, including other changes,
would not take place. The number Of
bacteria present in freshly drawn
milk varies enormously with the con-
ditions Of milking, however, and as
dirty and careless handling causes
them to multiply immensely, 1t is of
the utmost Importance that cleanl,-
ness be observed in all matters per-
tanning to the milking and marketing
Of milk and keeping 1t In the home;
the more so because 1t is an easy
matter for milk to become contaml-
noted with disease germs, and there
by spread typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and tuberculosis. Aside from
cleanliness, the problem Of keeping
milk sweet is one Of checking the
growth Of the bacteria; and as they
are inactive at a temperature below
so degrees Fahrenheit, milk to be
used should always be kept in cool
clean place.

by Vtlhjmar Stefansson, leader of the

according to letter received from
him In Brooklyn. In his letter, which
Is dated Mouth of the Dease River,
October IS, 1870" and is the first In
telligence received from the party
within year, Stefansson says:
I'VE have discovered people in a
region supposed to be uninhabited.
and have lived few months among
people who had never seen a white

heard OF both). and did not even know

solution of one of two problems:

Or, II neither Of these questions Is
to be answered. then we have intro

why do some of the people Of Vic

Stefansson left New York on the
present expedition in April. 1908. His
principal purpose was to study the
different tribes of Eskimos in the
northwest. and more especially an un
known tribe living in Victoria Land

even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed

with patent medicines till I was thor

Finally began to suspect that cof-
