Poisoning From Milk.
Milk poisoning is a prolific source ri
disease, and contributes more than any
other single cause to the fearful mortal
ity among infants during the summer
months. Not many years ago this higf,
death rate among children during the hot
season was attributed to telluric, mete-
geological and unfavorable hygienic con-
ditions. but now we know that summer
complaints are almost entirely due to
the use of milk infected with saprophyttc.

Cheese poisoning Is also OF frequent oc-

this poison is tyrotoxicon. but many tox-

occurrence. Persons who indulge freely

FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Been
Raised by the Decision Of
Learned Judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and q
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you to keep 1t from barking and yelp-
ing day and night, interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss of sleep, and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
ing. yelping and bowling, except in
cases of burglary or fire." how would
you set about obeying the order?
If you fix 1t SO the dog cannot bark
at all and burglars invade your domi-
cile or fire breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying the
Injunction that your restraint of the
barking, yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look
for burglars and fires and be ready
remove your restraint of the dogs
vocalization. when either or both ap-
pear?
Yes, you might get rid of the dog,
of course, but there is nothing said
about that. The law does not prohib-
1t you keeping the dog. All It is con-
cerned about is that you shall not al
low the dog to become a nuisance.
You have to place it under restraint.
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have to worry about what con-
stftutes reasonable restraint because
there's not a word about reasonable
ness in the law. All you have to do
is to restrain the animal from bark
ing, yelping and bowling, except in
cases of burglary or fire. The oxcep-
ton may, 1t is true, seem unreason-
able, but the law is made to be obeyed
somehow and it leaves it to you to
find out how.

THAT MOST WONDERFUL BABY
Surely Young Mother Had Good Rea-
son to Be Proud of Her Remark
able Offspring.

1t takes baby to appreciate a baby
or mother. A writer recounts the
conversation between the mother of
a very new baby and a caller who had
protested somewhat academic inter-
est in the infant. 1t was immediate
ly brought forth for inspection.
You know" she exclaimed, every
mother thinks her baby is the best In
the world, but mine just proves it,
What does he dor"
Everything"
Does he walk?"

old! But just let me hold him In my
arms, and see how perfectly he exc
cutes the Highland fling"

"Oh, no. But he can initiate a
steam engine"
"How?"
He puffs out his little cheeks, so,
and says 'Ooi Ooi'"
Can he-er-crawl?"

much too young"
What else can he do?"
Now you watch him as I take him
up in my arms. See how he smiles at
me, and notice how inteligently he
breathes!"

The Russell schools used 80 tons of
coal last winter which cost nearly
$500. There were 70 - tons of deep
shaft Weir coal that for most part
cost $3.50 a ton. This winter
the district has to pay $5.65, as does
the county for courthouse use.-Judge
Ruppenthal, in Luray Herald. The
Trego county high school and the
Wa-Keeney schools, together, used
less than so tons of coal last winter
and the total cost was S401. 10, or
about 5000 for each. The winter was
the hardest ever known and the fuel
cost was about one-third higher than
ever before. The coal used here is
the best grade of western coal. 1t
costs about 80 per cent more per ton
than eastern coal but seems to be
more economical in the long run.
Mr.. Fipps, who farms down near
Fulton, Bourbon county, believes
that he has made a valuable discov-
cry. He has, with the use of saltpeter,
raised some of the largest fruit and
vegetables ever grown in this part of
the world. BY putting little salt
peter around the roots of an apple
tree and washing the tree with soft
soap, he has raised apples weighing
2 pounds and 6 onnces apiece. AS an
experiment, he put saltpeter in two
rows of corn and one hundred ears
weighed 296 pounds, twice as much
as average corn. He also put saltpeter
around a few heads of cabbage,
pumpkins, beets. parsnips and water
melons. One melon weighed Sc
pounds; one cabbage head weighed
Is pounds, one parsnip pounds, one
pumpkin 13I pounds, and one 132
pounds. Ellis Headlight.
