In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside an expert on milk writes an
article on Selling Certified Milk" In
which he says that certified milk is
nothing but high grade milk produced
and handled in a specified manner. No
expensive equipment is necessary. The
writer says in part:
when man receives a certified
check he knows the check Is good, and
he is safe in accepting it. Certified
milk is simply milk which is guar
anteed to be safe and free from con-
tamination. The most important point
in the certification or guaranteeing of
milk is to have some recognized and
competent body Of men ,vouch for the
purity Of the milk and the condition
OF the dairy. Most eastern cities have
a milk commission composed Of in
fluenttal physicians, business men, a
milk inspector or two and generally a
veterinarian.
The richness and general nature of
certified milk does not differ mater
tally If at all, from that of ordinary
milk. The cleanliness Of the milk re-
ceives by far the greatest attention,
Certified milk sells for 10 cents a
quart and up. If the town in which
the milk Is sold does not have a milk
commission, the first step is to consult
the mayor or health officer and have q
commission appointed. Their approval

SHORT on BRoTHERLY LOVE
Remember That Henry
Was Sacred.

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry; In fact, he looked upon
him as q. nuisance, a scourge sent from
heaven to try his spirit and spoil his
fun. Especially that day was Henry
a thorn in the older boys flesh. In
his efforts to rid himself of his burden.
William resorted to all the methods
the mind of youth suggested, but in
vain. Henry continued to stick as
close. if not closer, than brother.
William, finally said the boys
father, who had witnessed, unheard,
the final paroxysm Of the unequal
struggle, you should be ashamed OF
yourself to treat your little brother in
that way! He ought to be sacred to
you.'
William made no reply; but short.
ly afterward. believing himself to be
free of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus: Always taggin
after me-! II you weren't sacred I'd
break your blamed face for you!"-

future? To answer this question we
need to consider az the outlook as to
imitation of the circulation of money
and checks and (2) the outlook as to
volume of trade.
To be specific, there Is strong rea-
son to believe that for many years to
come the worlds money In circulation
Will continue to expand at not less than
2 per cent per annum (Which is n per
cent less than at present.; its velocity
at not less than " per cent per annum;
deposits at not less than 6 per cent (1h
per cent less than at present. and
their velocity of circulation at not less
than Y per cent (the present rate)
while the volume Of trade promises to
increase at not more than AZ per cent
per annum dts present rate). On the
basis Of these estimates, we conclude
that the total facilities for purchasing
goods will probably increase at least
at the rate Of 61k per cent per annum,
while the volume Of trade will increase
at most at the rate Of AZ per cent
making necessary a probable average
annual increase In prices Of at least
2 per cent per annum.
But what, 1t may be asked, is, after
one price level as good as another?
Undoubtedly one price level is as good
as another, but in changing from one
price level to another all contracts are
interferred with as we'll as all other
business arrangements expressed in
money and prevented by law or GUS
tom from easy adjustment in the in
term. A wcrking1nan who put 500 In
the savings bank Is years ago now
finds that he has accumulated" $3.50,
the $50 being interest accrued. But this
$3.50, instead Of being real increase
OF 90 per cent-as he has every right
to expect and as would have been the
case had his dollar remained constant
In purchasing powerful now buy no
more than the original 800.
AS soon as the imperative need Of
standardizing the dollar as q protection
to business is fully realized. there will
doubtless be many other suggestions
for coping with the problem of gold
and credit imitation. This is one OF a
number OF great problems which, it is
hoped, may be considered by the
much needed International Conference
on the High Cost Of Living.

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
It is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect Of bad,
poisoned blood ON the nervet. the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition Of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters Of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it Oh dissolved in the urine.
Ii the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part Of this flterine is done and the blood
ia heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
Sitated, and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
! are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, If your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull
heavy, restless at night. rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible
