sonal investigation of all who make application for help in the name of charity, and as a reasonable result the really deserving will endure continu- ouS suffering rather than be suspected of getting aid under false pretences.
 True charity should be dispensed with generous hand and the act should not be indiVidualized. In every in stance the beneficiary. or rather the applicant, should be given the bene- fit of the doubt. Some years ago, per- haps before the present associated charities was not thought of, the peo- pie generally contributed to a relief fund which was founded by a wealthy lady of the city, who kept the fund in weakened by lack of public subscrip- tions. In fact that lady was the head and director of that fund and the dis penser acted under her directions Her orders were to give the applicant the benefit of the doubt and to give inn mediate relief. Every case, how ever was thoroughly investigated on the quiet and the impositions were so few that they were not worth while.
 After careful examination of the manner in which the relief fund was conducted, among the regular dona- tors to the fund, winter after winter were such men as the late Augustus c. Williams, the late Augustus Bran degee, the late Thomas w. Williams, the late Col Augustus c. Tyler. the late Robert Colt, the late Rev Thomas P. Joynt. and the late George Williams. These are named in preference to the living as it was the understanding that contributions were not made to the fund for the purpose Of expo1ting the givers as charity givers who gave for the purpose of receiving praise and thanksgiving from the benefcia- ries and getting the praise of their fellow citizens. All poor people are not dishonest and their application for aid should be received in an honest spirit and not with a feeling that ev- cry appHcan was an 1mpostor and should be investigated before given any aid. Humiliating the humiliated poor is not any part of true christian charity.

 Catch one?
 He produces milk at a loss to get fer = ulizer to make mere milk at another loss.
 Now set the boys from the agricult- ural college to figuring if you will, how two losses make one profit
 This farmer lost money on ever, quart of milk he sold. But he had a lot of manure, and so kept putting that manure back and raising more crops, all of which he turned into more milk, to sell at another loss"
 And still some people wonder why farmers don't wear more diamonds and go to church on Sundays in airships. ''
 There isn't the slightest doubt that dairy farmers are perfectly willing to wash off their cows with bay rum and peroxide of hydrogen twice day, put on new suit of linen pajamas for each COW they milk, keep her in a stable hoored with $4-a-yard linole- um, dress her in silk pantalettes and tie pink ribbons on her horns,-IF the people who buy milk are willing to pay for that sort of thing and pay him for doing it.

 Another is that there must be no mudhole or pile of manure in barn. yard or pasture.
 Another is that there must be dust tight partitions between the space oc- cupied by the cows and that used for any other purpose"
 Another is that milk utensils must be regularly sterilized. and mo laun- dry soap used"
 Another is that the miIl1ers must wear clean suits, freshly laundered" for each milking.
 Another is that the milker must ster- ilize his hands thoroughly before milk ing each COW, and keep hands and teats dry when milking" Another is that the milk must be cooled to a temperature below 50 de- grees F. within fifteen minutes after milking, and kept at or below that temperature till sold.
 Now, l have no doubt that, from the standpoint of the analytical chemist, a good deal may be said, for all these rules. have no doubt also, that from a similar theoretical stand point something might be said in favor of keeping the COW all her life in an air tight glass chamber, supplied with scientifically regulated amounts of sterilized air and water and food at scientifically regulated intervals and milked with a sterilized machine driv- en by sterilized gasoline.
 But now about it from the standpoint of the practical farmer who keeps cows and sells milk for a living, and must make living from them?
 And, by the way, how is the poor farmer going to obey the rule which requires him to keep hands and teats dry when milking" after he has just obeyed the other rule which commands him to wash the bag just before milk ing, leaving the uGder damp to cause dust to adhere % Seems to me it must be quite a trick to keep your hands dry while pumping away at a bag moist enough ito cause the dust to ad- here" to it.
 In the very city where these rules are set forth for the guidance of the dairy farmers, where the dairies are grad ed according to scores based on these rules,-the farmers have been getting from the retailers either three and a half or four cents quart for their milk, the difference being based upon the extent to which they obey the rules Now, as long ago as 1908 careful records of a tesJ herd near this same city showed that the cost of food and fodder aver aged 2.09 cents per quart of milk, and the interest charge on investment to be l.45 cents more,-a total of 3.54 cents per quart This without any provision for losses, or for payment to labor. The particular farmer who owned and milk ed this particular herd was one of those getting three and a half cents a quart It cost him four hunGredths of q cent more. But he had the manure
 If he had gone into the extra fiddle c-,-5 1s.,- '. .s.-l,. scientific sanitary detective to grade him up into the four cent class, the extra cost it was agreed, would have used up all the extra income and left him, proportionately just as bad off

came this morning at high tide. No
loss of life was reported.
