PRICE or MILK TO Be
RAISED IN BRUNSWICK
COST OF FEEDSTUFF FORCE THE
DAIRYMEN TO TAKE SOME
ACTION SOON.

1t was stated yesterday that the
dairymen of Brunswick were serious
iy considering the raising of the price
Of milk to II 1-2 cents per quart, as
the cost of feed has gone up to such
an extent during the past few months
that there is no other course left.
At this time of the year there is
little fodder to be had and no good
grazing land available so the dairy
man is forced to buy an extra large
amount of feed for his cows.
The cost of production and de!iv-
ering has also increased as all mix
must be bottled and the profits are
lessened largely by the breaking aid
losing of bottles.
While no definite action has been
taken it is said the price will be
raised to correspond with that of At
liant, Macon, Savannah and other cites
of Georgia.

Lucky Stockings.

Stockings figure in some curious SUI
perstitions touching old customs, es-
peclally those connected with marriage.
Every one knows that there are actions
both lucky and unlucky. Among the
former it IS commonly held that to put
on any article of clothing wrong side
out is decidedly a sign of good luck
but it must be done accidentally. and
wien the mistake is found cut 10
change must be made, else the luck
will Immediately vanish. This idea is
very firmly held about stockings, pro-
badly because it is more easy TO make
such mistake in putting on a stock
ing than in dopning other garments. 1t
would be hard, indeed. for a woman
to put on her dress or a man his coat
or vest inside out without noticing
what he was doing.
Another superstition touching the use
of hose is connected with dreaming.
This is Scotch notion. If a person
be about to sleep in bed that he or
she has never slept in before, the GER
tainty Of dreaming can be assured by
placing the stocking taken off the right
foot under the head. Not only will the
sleeper be sure to dream but the dream
Will certainly come To pass.
OF the superstitions attached to mar
raiSe ceremonies, most people have
heard Of throwing the stocking" This
rite would hardly be regarded now as
consistent with modern notions Of de-
corum, but it was highly popular to
former days. The ceremony was per-
formed at the conclusion of the We'd
dine, days festivities by young men
and girls seated at the bed foor--the
former having the brides and the lat
ter the bridegroom's stockinGs--whose
object in throwing tie hose backward
over their heads was to lit, if possible
the he5d, and especially the nose of
one or either of the newly married
couple. A successful shot meant mar
riage at an early date for the thrower.
Another old custom which the super
stitious sometimes remember when
they get married is to wear one old
stocking and one new one, following
the thought, perhaps, that every bride
Should wear something old, something
new" To this day many brides adhere

The Microscope in the Kitchen.

The use of the microscope is rec
commended in ihe Kitchen. if not Of the
ordinary house, at least of those nav
ing an army Of servants and purchas-
ing by wholesale. In hotels, boarding
houses. hospitals, jails. its use in our
complicated modern life is becoming
essential. and the need is based upon
the necessity of determining the degree
of adulteration of food. The chef has
no excuse for not knowing what he
buys if he is provided with micros-
cope.
In starchy substances the aGu!tera-
ton will soon be revealed by the mi
crosaope if the grains of starch dc
not have the selfsame form in the po-
tato and in rice. The same thing may
be said of the spices. Pepper can be
adulterated only with peas or ground
beans, and this fraud also may be
readily detected. The rule may be
almost universally applied to all foods
that pass through the kitchen, and
especially IN Kitchens of the wealthy.
Coffee under the microscope does not

olate made with peanuts does not look

Anti Typhoid Vaccination.

In answer to numerous inquiries re-
garding the true status of vaccination
for immunity from typhoid infection it
may be stated that the highest au-
thorities, after thousands of inocula-
lions in military and civil practice, are
convinced of the reality of this immun-
iZing procedure. The army which was
modified on the Mexican frontier was
practically protected in this manner 1t
is true that the lessons so dearly
bought In the camps during the Cuban
war mobilization We're applied in these
maneuvers, but Surgeon Russell of the
army declares that anti-typhoid vacci-
nation was the principal cause of i'm
munity. He feels confident that it con-
fers almost complete immunity against
infection and lasts surely two and q
half years and perhaps longer Tho
procedure rarely produces discomfort
pain and still more rarely febrile reac-
ton.
In civil practice we may take the at
tendants in the Massachusetts General
Hospital and the nurses and other ex-
posed persons in twenty-three other
hospitals as an example. DR.. l.. ii.
Spooner reports in the Journal of the
American Medical Association that
while in debilitated patients the reac-
ton may be severe, it is usually mild.
Among 1851 nurses, who are eight
times more liable to the disease than
Others, only two cases developed. No
permanent untoward effects have ariS-
en- from over 5000 injections The anti
typhoid vaccination has established its
efficiency in two epidemics.

To The person who is anxious to be
protected against this too prevalent
disease the lesson from these reliable
observations is that whenever one feels
that ordinary care of the hands cannot
be exercised one would be safer after
the vaccination il engaged in caring
for case of typhoid fever. Lay peo-
pie do not appear to realize that this
vaccination differs absolutely from
vaccination against smallpox in sever
III respects. In smallpox the immunity
acquired by vaccination in infancy
lasts until adult life, while immunity
from typhoid vaccination lasts only
two and a half years 1t would there
fore be unWise to resort to the latter
unless one is exposed to direct infec-
ton.
For this reason it is well for a nurse
in attendance on typhoid patients dur
ing the -and-ahalf year period to
be protected by vaccination. 1t should
be borne in mind that when she does
this she pleads guilty of lack of conf
dence in her vigilance against contact
with infection materials which an an
tiseptic washing with nail brush pre-
vents more surely than vaccination.
While in a smallpox epidemic it is a
wise precaution to vaecinate even
those who are not in direct contact.
this is unnecessary in typhoid fever
epdemics, except for those who are in
direct contact The typhoid poison cam
not infect unless it be swallowed;
hence it should be easy to avoid it even
If exposed to contact.-New York sun
