WHY MILK WILL TURN SOUR
Mlerobe That Makes an Acid
From the Sugar.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why II is that II you let milk stand
for a short time, especially In warm
weather, II will turn sour and become
unfit TO use in your tea or coffee, but
II II is boiled and then sealed up in
some sort OF alright can or jar II will
keep for any length OF time in any
weather.
Many persons believe that thun-
derstorm will turn milk sour, and If
you ask them what the thunder, which
is nothing but noise. can do to the
milk you will find that they have no
idea, but they just know 1t is so. So
there!
The reason that milk turns sour is
that it contains small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar in the
milk. When the milk is boiled these
microbes are killed and the acid is
never developed. Warm air, and even
electricity in the air, is very favor
able to the rapid growth of these mi
crobes, which are really sort of
plant, and all plants flourish in
warmth
The acid which is made by these mi
crobes in the milk is called Tactic
acid, and if the milk is good and clean
it is none the worse for turning sour,
although it is not just the thing to
put in tea. For some persons sour
milk is much more wholesome drink
than sweet milk and is recommended
by some doctors for the cure of GER
tain diseases. There is a famous Chi
nese statesman who believes he will
live to be one hundred and fifty be-
cause he drinks SO much sour milk
every day.

ment with the city attorney. the
complaint was withdrawn and the
case will be made a Ciyil one in
stead of criminal. The question
involves several fine points of
law The ditch runs a,erg the edge
of the street. In order to build
the sidewalk it became necessary to
fill up about half the ditch. City
Attorney Reed contends the city
had right to do that, inasmuch as
notice had previously been given
that the ditch was a nuisance be-
cause it ebstructed the work on
the sidewalk and for other rea-
sons. The nub of the questiors in
volved seems to be as to priority CT
