CERTIFIED MILK.

The first bulletin in the new depart
mental series of the United States de-
partment of agriculture Is a contribu-
ton from the bureau Of animal in
dustry entitled Medical Milk Commits
sions and Certified Milk" This is a
revision of previous bulletin on the
same subject.
The organization and objects of the
first milk commission are described
and the origin and meaning of Ger
titled milkYsare set forth, The word
certified" has been registered In the
United States patent Office, and may
only be used by duly organized med
ical milk commission.
The first milk commission was or.
ganized In 1898. Since that time over
so commissions have been established
but nearly one-third of that number
are inactive at present.
About 156 diaries are engaged In
producing certified milk and the daily
production is nearly $4,000 gallons
an increase Of 300 per cent. in five
years. While this seems remark
able increase, it should be remember
ed that only one-half of one per cent
of the total milk supply of the coun
try is certified
While the chief demand for certi
fled milk is for infants and sick PEG
pie, 1t further serves to teach the pub
lie the value of careful methods IL
milk production and the extra cos
of absolutely clean milk.
The bulletin describes the equip
ment ald methods necessary for tn,
production of certified milk. 1t i
pointed out that expensive equipmen
is not a necessity 80 much as a care
full and unremitting attention to de
tails.
In 1907 the American Association o
American Milk Commissions was OF
ganized The methods and standard
for the, production and distribution O
certified milk adopted by this assc
cations at its 1912 meeting are give
in the appendix to the bulletin.

Prudery knows no frontiers. The
historic and valuable frescoes in the
church of Benouvllle, Calvedos, have
just been ruined by the misplaced zeal
of n parish priest. The frescoes rep
resented the Day of Judgment and
scenes from an old French parable,
and the priests action is due to the
fact that the painter clothed his fig.
ures after the fashion Of our first

Little Profit In These Mines.

Some forty years ago considerable
copper was mined and shipped out OF
San Fernando in the southern part of
Lower California, but since then not
much has been done with this metal
The principal difficulties in the way Of
the profitable mining of copper are
fuel and transportation facilities. Iron
deposits have been found at several
places, the principal one being at San
Isidro. but no active work has ever
been done.

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge OF a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years / suffered from
nervous prostration; | was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies |
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about

and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses | showed n marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles | was entirely cured. | have

If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; ii you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part OF the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.

has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits

Three months after the night when Vevasour

in blaze; the English militia called out.
and the Royal Berkshire, with Vevasour as one
of the captains, sent to a lonely district
where camp was hastily formed. One even

And what you going to do with the

AS Vevasour was in his tent that evening he
surprised by orderly. who said:
Beg pardon. sir. but there's a person out
side who wants to have a word with you"
who is he and what's his business?" said
Vevasour sharply
