Widows Pension.

Congressman Plumley has intro
duced in the House of Representa-
tives of Washington a bill which, if
il becomes law will increase the pen
sions Of all soldiers widows who are
now drawing pensions or who may
be entitled to them hereafter. to SIS
a month instead Of S12, which they
now receive. The reason for this
increase as stated by Mr.. Plumley is
the general increase in the cost of
living and that SIS month would go
no further towards a years support
now than s12 did at the time 1t was
made the law.-Northfield News.

The Imperator, the greatest ship
ever built, has arrived on this side
of the Atlantic. Some idea of its
magnitude may be gained from the
statement that this ship alone is
greater than the largest navy in his
tory, up to the time of the Spanish
Armada.

The paper has heretofore been sent
only to those who subscribed and paid
the noun of the subscription. but
this plan is to be changed and the
paper is now to sc to every Pythian

them. The cost Of the publication is
to be paid by the subordinate lodges,
who will be charged the net cost on a
per capita basis. It works out about
Is cents per capita per year. At
present the paper is being sent TO only

seen that the paper is to be a much

SCORING" THE MILK SELLER.
System Of Distribution in Cities Re-
Quires Careful Supervision.

From Journal Of American Medical Association.
There has been much discussion of late
regarding the efforts made in various
cities 70 improve the quality of the milk
supply. A diffesent aspect of the sub
1ect has been raised by the investigator
I'm charge Of the market-milk investiga-
tons Of the bureau of animal industry.
He remarks that II has been a too preva-
lent custom in the past to lay all of the
blame for dirty milk on the shoulders of
the milk producer While this may be
an easy and convenient way, to shift
the burden Of responsibility from city to
country, il is apt not only to hurt the
dairy Industry unfairly. but to close the
eyes Of reformers and health authori-
ties to questions that lie nearer home.
Milk inspection. to be complete. must APP
ply to the places and modes of delivery
as well as to the farm and It's environ

cares and anxieties. the sons and daugh-
tiers must lose none OF the gayeties now

are trained to q. selfishness which is for

them grfevous wrong. A few years ago
