BALTIMORE HAD
Pure MILK CONFERENCE

"Clean milk is to be desired. but
milk produced under cleanly condi-
tons is exposed to the danger Of o N
tamination by the handling Of some
person with a communicable disease
which has not yet been discovered and
by Inflammation Of the udders of he
cows, which is not apparent to the
mixer. THE ONLY WAY TO ABSO-
LUTELY ELIMINATE THIS DANG
Err is PASTEURIZATION.' Pasteur-
ization by the holding method will kill
all disease germs and not affect the
cream or the taste. If the milk is
pasteurized in air tight bottles, so
much the better because then the
danger of contamination after pasteur-
ization and before the milk is on
sumed is eliminated. News, June IS,
1912.
The people Of Fargo and Moorhead
in using Purity milk and cream are
assured of full protection in every re-
spect, as Purity milk is pasteurized in
sterilized bottles.

Fargo operahOuse.
Aug. 14.-Margaret Ellington.
Aug. 19.-Uncle Josh Perkins.

Charles Kenyon, the author of Kind
ling, in which Margaret Ellington will
appear in this evening at the Fargo
operahouse, seems to have struck the
path of progression in a new theme
which he has given to the theatre-go-
ing public after a season of worthless
plays of the conventional type: Newer
and fresher in treatment original
touches and Characterization, new
ideas and a subject which is of vital
interest in every large city of he
country, Miss Ellington who won fame
in The Thief is said to have come
back better than ever and in her por-
trayal of Maggie Schultz and in the
heights of e~motionalism in which she
is forced to rise amply j~ustifes her
being called the greatest emotional
actress of our native stage. Miss IL
lington will be supported by the same
brilliant company of players which
made Kindling n of the real sue
cesses of the present season in New
York and Chicago.

LIKELY TO PAY
/. FOR The DOGS
NEW ORDER TO BE ISSUED IN A
FEW DAYS IN REGARD TO THE
CARRYING OF HUNTING CA
MINES ON RAILROADS IN FOUR
NORTHWESTERN STATES.

A mighty roa will go up among the
hunters of North Dakota, Montana,
Minnesota and South Dakota when an
order that it is believed is being pre-
pared will be sent out to the different
baggagemen of the four states to
make a charge for carrying dogs on
and after September /.
While the order has not been re-
ceived here by the N. p, the Great
Northern or the Milwaukee, still it is
almost certain that it will come. 1t is
the intention, so it is rumored, to
charge regular excess baggage rates
for the dog, and the minimum price
will be 25 cents. In other words fares
must be paid for the dog. At the
present time the dogs are not charged
for, but the baggageman on the train
is generally the recipient of a little
present on the part Of the nan with
the gun.
The railroad company takes the po-
sition that at the present time, even
while the owner Of a dog places him on
the baggage car at his own risk, still
in case Of an accident as of a trunk
rolling on the dog and injuring the
animal, the company would be held
liable. 1t is the intention, so 1t is
stated, to place a valuation of $50 on
dog will have some protection.
The excess baggage rate, according
to one of the baggagemen, is about
1714 per cent of the full passenger rate
in the state of North Dakota and 1917
in Minnesota, or about that.
