A Progressive Spirit.

We note with pleasure, the an
nounccment made by officials of the
Hagerstown a. Frederick Railway
that there has been a voluntary in
crease in the wages Of its motormen
and conductors, which shows that the
progressive spirit that has always pre-
vailed in the management of our
railroad, will be continued hy the
new management, to the extent "l
making advances larger, possibly tlan
those who have heretofore had chars"
Of the operation of the road.
In this day, when we constantly
see organized labor ON the larger sys-
TENS demanding increases and the
railroads combating in most every
instance these demands, it is quite
refreshing to note in this, our local
railroad, that it came rs Il voluntary
raise without amy knowledge or tie
mand from the men employ It.
The increase as stated elsewhere N
these columns is ON II graduated sral'
making it some incentive Tor man
to stick to his Job 81 that h" may
merit the reward Of increase COM
mrnyuratr with the time he serves mp
to the third Year " his employment,
This j. as il should be. for cilici"n-
cy Is now the demand made OF every
thing both animate and inanimatc,
and the longer Il man sticks to one
calling that is to his liking or choice,
the more proficient he will be and
consequently of greater value to his
employer.
The public is greatly interested in
the matter of satisfied, wrll-paid
labor, for they get the indirect results
tlerefrom, while disorganizrd, dis
gruntled and half satisfied labor is of
little value to the employer, while il
is disrupting to the public in the
public in the transaction of its routine
of either business or pleasure.
The CLARION will always take pleas
urr in noting the decision OF the rail
road in such matters and its volun-
tary action in this instance shows a
commendable spirit that will likely
make itself felt in other directions
which will more nearly reach and
affect the general public.

RED LIGHT AS A
PREVENTATIVE OF MILK.

Interesting experiments have re-
Gently been mace concerning the in
hurncc of red lig lit ON milk. That
light rs such is detrimental to the
conservation of milk has long been
known, but which of the rays really
did the mischief has only now been
determined, when it was found that
the red rays are beneficial while
those toward the violet side of the
spectrum caused the milk to turn. -
Pure, fresh milk placed in an mcol-
ored glass bottle in the full sunlight,
and steralized and pasteurized milk,
placed also in uncolored bottles in
,he same place were found at the end
Of the day to be completely spoiled
and unfit for consumption.
Absolutely no difference could be
detected between the ordinary fresh" "
milk and that which had been stcral-
ized-both were equally bad. But
il even unsteralized milk is placed in
Il red bottle or in bottle wrapped in
red paper in the full sunlight it keeps
for ten hours. In Holland much
care is being expended on delivering
pure milk to the public. The fresh
milk" is brought around by milkmen
in large, covered. brass vessels placed
ON small hand carts. On these same
hand carts are open holders to con-
tain the bottles of pasteurized or ster-
ilized milk, which costs rather more,
but to which many people give the
preference, as it is considered more
llygienic. Now, however, that eX-
p,.riments have proved how easily
even this pure, sterilzcd product
turns" by the influence OF the light,
il may soon be expected that every
dairy will adopt red bottles. Until
sufficient quantity OF such shall
have been manufactured, the bottles
will be wrapped in red paper

Resolutions of Respect.
Resolutions adopted by the WomAn's
Home and Foreign Missionary Society
on the death of Mrs. George E. Willhide:
Very dark and mysterious is the Prov
idence that has visited our little band,
and removed from US by death, our sister
and helper, Mrs. Addie M. Willhide, in
the prime of life, and of greatest need
and usefulness to her home, her church,
and our society.
That, though dark and mysterious, we
shall recognize the hand of our Heavenly
Father in this sad and sore trial to faith,
believing he is too wise to err, too good
to be unkind.
That, in the departure from us of our
sister, our society has lost valued and
useful member, the chuIch devoted
friend, the community generous and
kind neighbor, and the home devoted
wife and loving mother
That we tender our sincere sympathy
to her family and friends, assuring them
of our continued prayers, and commend
them to the mercy of our God.
That we record our appreciation of our
sister in our minutes, publish them in
the CLARION, and present copy to the
bereaved members of her family.
