MILK INSPECTION is NO FUN

People.

The trials and tribulations OF q milk
Inspector trying to force insanitary
people to live according to sanitary
rules are shown in the issue of the
Healthologist, the of1clal organ OF
the Milwaukee health department.
The story follows:
A Milwaukee milk inspector during
a farm inspection, came upon place
hopelessly filthy, disorderly and run
down. A motherly person with big
heart. but firm and weird convictions,
listened to the young mans sugges-
tions. Then looking over her spec.
tacles pityingly, she said:
Boy my mother was ninety-seven
years old when she died. She was
dirtier than l am, and lived In a
dirtier house and drank dirtier milk.
If she could stand it | guess there
amt no reason why | and the city
folks that get milk from this farm
can't stand 1t too"
And not being able to answer that
argument, the milk inspector left her
kindly withal, but yet voicing her
indignation over them there new

WHY WE DErEsr PARASITES

Justified, for They Are Carriers
Of Disease.

The feeling OF instructive revulsion
against parasites of all kinds which
characterizes humanity generally, and
which Is due to something much more
than the mere pain or annoyance that
their bites might infict, become more
interesting as further discoveries show
the role of insects in the spread of
disease.
Unfortunately this natural abhor-
renee has not been enough to protect
man under conditions of poverty and
uncleanliness from harboring such par
asites, and now those who understand
how much more than a mere personal
annoyance is in question from the ex-
lstence of parasites must take up the
problem to eradicate them.
The possibility of the bedbug con-
veying relapsing fever, typhoid and
leprosy has been suggested and ap-

and bugs not only are all under sus-

RESOLUTIONS DEAD.
w. n. Murray Presents Platform to
State Convention.

The democratic state convention is
enthusiastic for Woodrow Wilson, but
the widest burst of applause which
greeted the reading of the report of
the resolutions committee by Alfalfa
Bill' Murray, it's chairman, was when
the magic name of Williams jennings
Bryan was mentioned in laudatory
terms.
One of the surprises of the commit
tees report was the naming of Judge
J. J. Carney of Ell Reno, as the party
candidate for congressman from the
second district, it being understood
during the afternoon that a mistake
had been made in the court and that
James S. Ross of Oklahoma City had
received majority. When the list of
party candidates was read, however,
commencing with United States Sena-
tor Robert l.. Owen, that of Carney
was in the list.
A strong resolution, condemning the
federal government from selling liq-
uor licenses in prohibition states, drew
the fire of E. J. Giddings of Oklahoma
City, who rose and asked Judge Talbot,
it's author, why he attempted to in
ject social question into political
meeting. The crowd was evidently
with Talbot and Gliding was invited
to go back to Baltimore" and asked
whats the matter with Clarke"
Among the resolutions submitted by
the committee was one favoring re-
vision of the state primary law.
The chairman of the convention was
authorized to name a committee of
five to draft better primary law The

that they draw no salary except for
the days they were actually engaged

that the affirmative votes of major

an initiated bill was also demanded.
As the law now stands. on a bill in
itiated by the legislation except those
where the no" is written 1t was un-
der this law that the Grandfather
Clause" was passed
A resolution was also introduced
providing that members of the state
central committee and of the party
organization should not at the same
time, hold any public office, either
state, county or federal. The imme-
diate settlement of Indian questions
and the matter of coal land lesses
were also demanded.
The state administration was pledg-
ed to exercise the strictest economy
and the matter of economy in county
affairs was also made a part of the
resolutions committee report.
OF course the democratic principles
take part in the primary of another
party was also condemned
The resolutions also favored the
abolishing of the state election board
as it now exists and the organization
of one with the secretary of state as
and all candidates for Office came in
for their share of Endorsement, but all
was peace and harmony except the
Giddings incident, until the matter of
the supplemental report of the min
oriay was read. A motion was made
to table this, which provided for the
selection of federal appointees by pri-
maries, but Justice Robert L. Williams
and others charged steam roller tac-
tics and William H. Murray. chairman
of the committee, requested that the
motion to table be withdrawn, whica
was done
Judge Williams led the fight for the
adoption of the supplemental minority
report and Murray the fight against it.

A carpenter runs his plane over a
piece of wood and out come the pretty
cu6y shavings. Now, If plane is
made with a diamond blade instead OF
a steel blade, and the blade is set just
right, the plane when run over glass
will turn out fine, thin shavings, some
thing like those made by a plane on
wood. This gives some idea of the
wonderful hardness OF diamond, yet
there is something harder than a dia.
nond; it is another diamond or even
the same diamond. for diamond may
be extra hard in one part and not so
hard in another part.

Definition Of the Beau.

a beau is one who arranges his
curled locks gracefully, who ever
smells of balms and cinnamon,
who huns the songs of the Nile and
Cadiz, who throws his sleek arms into
various attitudes, who idles away the
whole day among the chairs of the
ladies, who is ever whispering in some
ones ear, who reads little billetdoux
from this quarter and that. and writes
them in return; who avoids ruff1ing
his dress by contact with his neigh
boris sleeve. who knows with whom
everybody is in love; who fiutters from
feast to feast; who can recount exact
ly the pedigree Of Hirpinus. What do
you tell me. is this a beau. Cotilus?
Then bean, Cotilus. is a very trihing
thing.

JUNEAU NEEDS MORE DOCKAGE FACILITIES

delay and inconvenience that amounts to a considerable item in the matter of cost to the man or company en- gagged in developing or operating a business in this country.
 What We should do, in my opin- ion. is to get together and devise some plan looking to the construction of a union wharf. one that would have ample frontage to properly dock any of the vessels that make this port, singly or in pairs. know such a plan is practical and that it can be carried out now if We can only get together on the proposition. It seems to me that the scheme would meet the approval of the steamship companies and certainly no business man of Juneau could oppose it."

One of Juneau's most promi- neut business men said the other day that the time had arrived when more adequate dockage facilities must be provided. AS a matter of fact" he said. we should have adopted some plan long ago whereby the cost Of freight handling could be reduced to the minimum and at the same time provide the necessary convenience for expediting business.
 But" he continued, since we haven't done it, it seems to me that a start should be made at once to- ward the desired result. Our docks are but little narrow piers, hardly fit for the fishing boats to lie alongside Of and when freighters come in with any sort Of cargo there is all sorts of

MORE FOOTBALL DOPE.

The following persons, Jesse Nevill, Clarence Nichols, Sid McPeters, Bill Albertson, H. Smith, Frank Booth, j.. Smith, NJ. Pitzman, and H. Ward, form a part of the lineup of Outlaws that will attempt to drag the scarlet and black" of Juneau in the dust weather permitting-on a certain day following Thanksgiving which is yet to be decided upon.
 An attempt was made to get an in. terview with the higher-ups in charge of the training of these men but without success. However, some of the men in minor positions talked freely about the powers of this aggre. gation of athletes.
 "Young Casey has his work cut for him if he wins anything from us,' said one old Outlaw, those kids are getting risky" he continued, land we will take them down a peg or so."
 Despite all this braYado the tact cannot be disguised, however, that the Outlaws are working like beavers to get in form and some having be- come discouraged after one practice dropped out of the game, pleading bus mess duties and such like lawful eX- cuses. Yes, it looks that Nevill and Nichols will haveto establish a few guards and use the whip.
