new METHOD Of
TESTING MILK.
City Health Department Has
New Apparatus For
That Purpose

The city health department Is now
using u new and simple apparatus for
testing the cleanliness of milk. This
consists Of a copper cylinder, holding
n pint, in which the milk is placed
and filtered through a specially pre-.
pared disk Of cotton. Any dirt in
the milk is collected on the cotton
hitter and a be shown at once, The
cotton disks can be filed away, mail
Cd to the milk producer or produced
IN court as evidence.
Milk sediment testers are now be.
Ing used in many cities and ut the
international Municipal congress-, held
In Chicago in November, 1911, it was
said to be the most important test
for clean milk that has been brought
out for many years.
The Importance of a simple test
for impurities in milk is emphasized
in the report of the Boston Health
department, for 1910. which says:
Milk, the food used by infants and
invalids, and consumed in large guam.
titles by those in good health, is the
dirtlest substance employed as food
by human beings. The filth with
which 1t Is contaminated Is further
more Of the most disgusting and
loathsome type, namely, COW dung"
This, of course, only applies to
milk produced or handled in an UNI
clean or %insanitary way.
The milk sold in Bismarck is gen.
orally of a high standard.
For use in public health work, the
city health officer requested the di.
rector OF the U. S. Bureau of Census
to furnish an estimate of the popu-
lation Of Bismarck. He has received
the following letter from the director:
August 20. 1912.
DR.. F. r. Smyth, Commissioner
Department of Public Health,
Bismarck. North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of August
Is, | give you below, estimates of
the population of Bismarck, for the
mid-year, July /, 1912, 5,917, and
April 1, 1912, 5,649.
These estimates are made on the
assumption that no an%neXations of
ter~ have been made in Bismrck
between 1900 and 1910 or since the
latter date. The annexation of any
territory containing population, would
OF cocrse, change the estimates sup
piled.
Very respectfully,

Director.

silver SERVICE
NOW POSSIBLE
Silver Service Commission
And the Governor Laying
Plans For Money

GRAND FORKS, Aug. 26.-There is
a faint glimmer Of hope that the citi.
zens of North Dakota will contribute
aoout $4,000 within the next six
months to complete the fund Of $10,.
900 for which Il campaign was inaug-
urated several years ago, the purpose
of which is the purchase Of a silver
service to be presented to the United
States b%attleship, North Dakota.
Secretary b. +. Brockhoff Of the
commission that was appointed by
Governor Burke has stated that plans
were being laid for an active cam
paign this fall. The governor has
taken the question up, and he is hope
full Of being able to get the matter
closed up, and have the service,
which was ordered from a New York
firm about two years ago, delivered
to the ship.
In the long campaign that has been
made only $1,000 has been collected.
Under the plan that was worked out,
each county in the state was asked
to contribute a portion Of the fund,
but many OF the counties have failed,
as yet, to make good their portion OF
the cost.
w. A. Scott of Fargo, one of the
commission members, in discussing
the question, believes a mistake was
made when the board set out 10 raise
the entire fund through small sub
scriptions. 1t was the plan of the
board not to accept contributions of
over 81 from each person, and that
idea was responsible for the fact that
the collections, early in the campaign,
were lower than they might other.

grand jury on a charge of murder. JEFF
Warren, Sid's father, John Rouse and
his son, Garland, were the victims.
The battle was the result of an old
feud starting, it is said, in a quarrel over
depredations alleged by Rouse to have
beer made by Warren's dog.
According to testimony adduced at tho
preliminary hearing John Rouse and son
we're at work in a field on the Rouse
farm, when Warren and his son came
upon them. All the men, including Gar.
land Rouse, who was only Is years old,
were armed with shotguns.
The most graphic testimony was that
given by Mrs. Rouse. She stated that
an hour after her husband and son went
to the field to work she saw jeff War.
rem and his son pass the house, each
armed. Soon after she heard shots and
the agonizing cry OF her husband calling
for her.
On reaching the scene OF the encounter
her husband cried out: "They have killed
your boy!" Hardly had the words left
his lips when the wife, powerless to re-
sist, was the witness OF Sid Warren's
shooting Rouse to death.
Her husbands death being almost in
Simultaneous, the frantic woman rushed
to where her son lay and reached his
side barely in time to hear him breathe
his last.
The family feud was forgotten in the
presence of death. Sid Warren and the
I'M whose husband he had just killed
together carried the bodies of jeff War

son, to a shady place, the authorities
were notified and a physician summoned.

FARMERS WAREHOUSE
CHANGES ITS NAME
TO BE KNOWN AS THE NATIONAL
WAREHOUSE COMPANY.
CAPITAL FIXED AT So, 600, 900
Organization Is Intended to Assist the
Farmer in Holding His Crop Until
the Market Price Is Right.

JacksOn.-Some time ago there was
held a conference OF leaders OF the Farm
ers' Union in this city, at which ii was
agreed to convert the Farmers Ware
house Company OF this State into a ma.
tional organization and to increase its
capital stock sufficient to enable it to
DO business on a much larger scale.
Coming as a direct result of this con-
ference, the officers and stockholders oi
that company held a meeting at whicn Il
resolution was adopted authorizing the
change of the name of that institution
to the National Warehouse Company,
and increasing its capital stock from one
to two million dollars.
The Farmers Warehouse Company Of
this State, under the management OF
President Hightower, proved itself to be
a potent factor for good to the farmer,
and now that that gentleman has sew
cred his connection with this company, u
gentleman of equal ability has been
chosen to succeed him and there is no
doubt but the company, under the new
order Of things, will do a great deal more
for the Southern farmer than has been
accomplished in the past.
The warehouse is an institution de-
signed to assist the farmer and to pre-
vent him from being forced to sell his
cotton for less than its proper value. 1t
is daily increasing in popularity and
being patronized by more OF Mississippl's
agricultmists yearly.

the track, Miss Ross swung the lantern
desperately, and jumped aside as the
freight rolled by, coming to a halt a few

five miles. The freight engine later

BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN
INSPECTOR WILL STRICTLY EN-
FORCE STATUTES.
All Food Material Must Be Kept Under
Cover and Stores Where Same Is
Offered for Sale Should Be
Screened.

Jackson.-CleaR food is essential 10
public health and safety, the sale oi i'm.
pure and filthy material is nothing shurl
OF criminal negligence, and the public
should demand proper conditions in the
handling of foods.
This is the tenor Of a bulletin issued
from the office Of the state board OF
health by DR.. W. S. feathers, director
OF the campaign OF education on santa.
ton and hygiene.
The bulletin follows:
Every person who buys food has a
right to expect from the grocrryman,
the proprietors OF the restaurants or ho-
tells, dairymen, fruit vendors, and in fact
any one who keeps food material fot
sale, a clean and pure product. This Is
not only right but it is also important
for the reason that it is necessary Al
protecting the health Of those who use
this material. The public has q right
to expect this and it should be demand
ed. A groceryman should have a pride
in keeping his stores AS carefully and as
clean as a man dealing in dry goods, but
often this is not done. / remember visit
ing a city of some reputation in the state
during the past year, and to my sur.
prise | found the dry goods stores
screened but not the grocery stores, It
may be somewhat more difficult to keep
a grocery store clean and sanitary but
this is 10 reason for not complying with
this condition, and especially when it
concerns the health OF the public.
All food material, such as flour, SUI
gar, lard, butter, bread, etc, should be
kept under cover. While inspecting a
grocery store a few days ago the lard
was found uncovered and there were
being ground up in it as many as five
flies. These may increase the weight
somewhat but at the same time they
viii certainly not make the lard any
more palatable, but on the contrary may
cause sickness and even death. Fruit
should be screened or covered with net
ting. Vegetables and fruit, when placed
outside of the store door should be sup
ported about two feet above the pave
mcnt. This prevents the filth Of dogs
and the dirt from the shoes Of people
coming in direct contact with the ms-
terial.
