Milk Borne TonsiIitis.

In. view of reported severe epidemics
of throat affection in various sections
of Maine, the following from the Jour-
nal of American Medicine may be read
with interest;
Epidemies of septic sore throat" in
England have from time to time been
attributed to milk-supply, but in this
country such outbreaks seem to have
been less common, or at all events.
less commonly recognized The fact
that the remarkable epidemic of yiru-
lent tonsilitis occurring in Boston and
vicinity last spring has been carefully
Investigated is therefore matter of
congratulation. The Boston epidemic
including the cases in Brookline and
Cambridge, affected over 1000 persons,
eight of whom died.
There is now presented unimpeach-
able evidence showing that the cpl
demic was spread in milk from local
dairy, the Infection of the milk appar-
entity originating in an epidemic of the
same character which prevailed in
Sonthboro and neighboring towns dur
ing some six weeks preceding the Bos-
ton outbreak.
The Boston epidemic seems to cast
some doubt on the value of the method
| of controlling the public milk supply
| by inspection rather than by pasteur
| ization. This experience could not be
regarded as wholly condemning eff

the general standard of cleanliness anc

Sneak Out.

Men and newspapers who are be-
fore the public in these DAYS are
awakening to the fact that they must
take position somewhere on great
public questions. The most OF us,
down deep in our mental grasp OF
things, entertain wholesome disap-
prevail of the man who "straddles.
Real honesty commands that "a
man take his place and its conse-
aGenees If his honest view of things
arouses enemies, let him accept them
with the consolation that on the other
side he has friends II is impossible
10 suit everybody, then why not be
honest
The thing most to be deplored, fol-
lowing double dealing and straddling,
is indifference. IL men are honest in
sleir conclusions. whether they agree
with cur own or not we respect them
If they are double dealing for person
al end. we despise them.
There IS work to do every day in
the year. No man of progress can
afford to Tito identify himself with
the right-and it is always easy to de-
terlnine.
Rev. John Howard Melish, d. D.,
in recent address on THE Social
Awakening of the Church" said:
Il take it that every honest word
and every frank expression, whether
IL stands upon one side or the other
helps toward making people more en-
lightened and gives them the ability
20 make up their own minds. Do you
stand on the side of Child Labor? Do
you believe in the little children being
ground up in a modern factory sys-
tenn? Then say so. Do you believe
that workmen and women have no
right to collective action? Then say
so. Do you believe that the little child
has no right TO a chance to grow up
TO the full stature of man or wom-
an? If you think so, say so. But do
net fail TO make up your opinion on
one side or the other, for if YOU do
you will win the contempt of men,
and, furthermore, YOU will deserve it.
II you give q frank statement that
statement will help public opinion To
clarity itself; it will enable people 10
see things as they are, and all this
win help us to work out our coming
salvation. so if our Church is to be
made effective, i say first of all LEI
us make our pulpit effective. Let u,
do everything we can TO have effee
tive sermons in our pulpits, and t.
that end let us have a better eduea
tion of our ministers; let us increas
the spirit of prophesying. and let u
pnt that burden OF prophecy Whic
rested upon the hearts of the prophet
at Israel, upon the men who stand i
the pulpit, and say to them, 'Speal
out &c your age in the name of tn
Most High"
That is the gospel of the hour
speak cut your word for better mora
conditions and do your part of pub
lie opinion TO cleanse civic conditions
OF their evils.

pie, despite the fact that dozen busi-

the governor endorsing D. J. Mckay for
the position, and some of them with
drawing from Mr.. Logue's petition and
entering protest against his appoint
ment. Mr.. Mckay had petition Of
over 400 votes in his behalf.
In view of the controversy between
the three candidates and their following
and the inability of the parties to get
together, Gov. Hay has gone outside the
active candidates and appointed L. l..
Mathews, cashier of the lone State
Bank, to be the member of the board
from that section.
1t would have been difficult to choose
from among the people of the new coun-
ty trio of men better adapted for the
important work of administering the
affairs of the county during its forma-
tive period. The new county is assured
of haying at it's disposal the services OF
men capable in every way.
DR.. G. w. Sutherland, of Newport, is
large property owner in the new coun.
ty His business career in various Sec
tions of the Northwest, extending over
the past thirty years, has peculiarly
fitted him to cope with the many prob
lens that will confront the board. In
addition he brings to the service of the
new county the benefit of the experience
gained b, his official membership in the
Stevens county board of commissioners
during the past two years anil half,
during two years of which he was chair
man of the board.
| D. R. Atherton, of Cusick, was among
those prominently mentioned for com.
missioner when the new county was
first talked of, and at that time did not
care to be candidate, but later con-
