only hope he could see for those

(From Tuesdays Daiy.)

That Valley City may be facing a
very serious shortage of milk is the
conclusion forced upon local milk u.s.
ers, and others who know the size of
the Chilberg dairy herd which will be
sold next week, and the large number
of mich cows which are likely to be
taken out of the country in conse-
quence.
With milk already selling at ten
cents a quart, with not nearly enough
to supply the demand. the possibility
Of a reduction of hundreds of gallons
daily, has filled the housekeeper's
heart with CONSERVATION, and in the
mast few days there has been scurry-
ing among scores of customers to ar
range for the winters: supply of milk.
At present there are three diaries in
Valley City which supply the public.
These are the Chilberg, Mcfarland
and Bonhus herds. While all three
have been doing everything possible
to supply the demand, there has al
ways been shortage, and eight cents
a quart has been no uncommon price,
while at times it has gone still higher.
This fall the price started out at
raised to ten cents quart, which in
another week, as soon as the Chilberg
herd is sold the p1ice will go still
higher without doubt, if indeed, milk
does not become a prohibitive luxury.
The suggestion has been made that
the Commercial club should take up
the matter Of securing a first class
dairyman to come to Valley City and
install a business large enough to care
for the present demand of the city.

Patent medicine and ad,llterated

Mrs. R. A. Sprague, chairman of
the department of public health OF the
Federation, told Of the municipal
slaughter house which has been Sc
cured at Grand Forks by, the efforts
of the club women extending over two
years. She also told something of the
work along this line which is being
carried on in other cities and towns
of the state through the influence Of
the womens clubs of the various
communities.
1T is disgrace that America and
England are far behind all civilized
countries in laws for protection
against the selling of patent medicines
and the practicing of quack DOCTORS"
said Prof. E. F. Ladd, in an address
dealing with the prevalence Of this
form Of quackery.
He urges the club to cooperate and
demand the enactment of laws that
would expose fake doctors, would Sc
cure sanitary, slaughterhouses, as we'll
as markets and bakeshops
He urged women to demand truth
full labels on all canned goods and
suggested that they set aside one day
of the year as health day" and cele-

lines which will carry the work farth-
