IMAYOR MILLER WILL
NAME DELEGATES

Mayor Miller, of Johnson City, ha!
been requested by the Hon. A. B
Fletcher, President of the Fourth
American Road Congress and Stat,
Highway Engineer OF California. tt
name three delegates to attend tn,
sessions of the Congress at Atlanta
Georgia, during the week of November
9th.
Forty-seyen great organizations are
taking part in the Congress under the
leadership of the American Highway
Association and the American Auto
mobile Association. In his letter to
the Mayor, President Fletcher calls
attention to the fact that practically
every state highway commissioner will
be present and take part in discussing
the important problems of road con-
struction and maintenance, and that
some of the foremost men in public
life will devote their attention to the
great question of Federal Aid to road
improvement, in an endeavor to work
out policy which may be submitted
to the Congress of the United States
with the support of the organized
road movement of America. An i'm
portant move bearing upon state leg
islation will be made at the session to
be held under the auspices of the
American Bar Association at which a
joint committee, appointed at the 1913
Congress, will report progress in COM
pilation and suggested revision of
state road laws. The creation of
commission participated in by each
state to work out revision of the
road laws will be urged. The Nation
al Civil Service Reform League will
hold an exceedingly important session
on the merit system in road admins
tration.
President Fletcher calls attention to
the exhibits to be made by the United
States Government, the States, and
more than hundred of the leading
manufacturers at the Congress, which
will Illustrate every known method,
material and equipment for road con-
struction and maintenance. He urges
that the city and county be officially
represented, as the Congress is in
reality training school where a very
great amount of useful information
can be obtained through attendance
at lectures with leading specialists in
road and street work, and the collect
ing of the many instructive bulletins
which will be available for distribu-
ton.
The headquarters of the Congress
are in the Colorado Building, Wash
ington, D. c., in charge of l. S. Penny
hacker, Executive Secretary, and the
exposition is in charge of Charles P.
Light, Business Manager.

WHAT MAKES MILK
AND BUTTER YELLOW,

That the rich yellow color demand
ed by the public in dairy products il
primarily due to the character of tn;
cows feed is demonstrated by recen
experiments carried on by the depart
! ment in cooperation with the Mis-
souri, State Experiment Station. Fol-
some years dairy experts have beer
studying this question. Their conclu
sion is that, although to some extern
a breed characteristic, the intensit!
of this yellow color may, within GER
tain limits, be increased or diminished
at will by changing the animals ra.
tions.
Chemical tests show that the yellow
pigment in milk consists of several
well-known pigments found in green
plants. OF these the principal one is
carotin, so called because it consti-
tutes large part of the cOloring mat
ter of carrots. The other yellow pig
ments in the milk are known as KAN
thophylls. These are found in mum
Der of plants including grass but are
especially abundant in yellow autumn
leaves.
These pigments pass directly from
the feed into the milk. This explains
the well-known fact that fresh, green
grass and carrots increase the yellow
ness of butter, the only standard by
which the average person judges its
richness. On the other hand, a large
proportion of these pigments is de-
posted in the body fat and elsewhere
in the cow. When the ration is chang
ed to one containing fewer carotin and
xanthophyll constituents, this boarded
store is gradually drawn upon and in
consequence the yellowness of the
milk does not diminish so rapidly as
it otherwise would. The yellowness
increases, however, the instant the
necessary plant pigments are restored
to the ration.
Green grass is probably richer in
carotin than any other dairy feed.
Cows feed on it will therefore produce
the highest colored butter. Green
corn, in which xanthophylls consti-
tute the chief pigment, will also pro-
duce highly-colored product. On
the other hand, ration of bleached
clover hay and yellow corn is practi-
cally devoid of yellow pigments and
the milk from cows fed upon it will
gradually lose it's color. 1t is, of
course, indisputably true that the
breed does influence the color of the
milk fat; but vary the ration and
there will be corresponding varia-
ton in the color of the milk fat in
each breed.
In cows of the Jersey and Guernesy
breeds the body fat is frequently of
such deep color that some butchers
and consumers look with disfavor up
on beef from these breeds. For this
prejudice there is absolutely no justi-
fication. The yellowness of the fat
springs from the same causes as the
yellowness of the milk fat, and there
is no reason for Directing in one case
to the very thing that is priced in the
other.-U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture.

Deafness Gan Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by amir .
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling found or imperfect hear
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norman
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

l2-YEAR-OLD BOY
WALKS ON FOURS
Alabama Child Presents An I'm.
usual Case Of Possible Re-
version to Type

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Aug. IA
case OF a possible reversion to type
is that of Thomas Armstrong, ~
year-old boy of Bangor. Ala. Upon
the death Of his father he was thrown
on the community and sent to the
Associated Charities in Birmingham,
then turned over to the Juvenile
court, which In turn transferred him
to leading physician. The medical
profession here is using the boy as
an anthropological study.
Young Armstrong has never learned
TO walk erect, but goes on "all TOURS"
He Is physically strong and can run
as fast as the average boy. His body
and limbs are normally formed and
developed His arms are slightly
longer than normal. presumably as
a result of use In allfour walking. Ii
has always seemed natural for him
to walk that way.
When he was a little child his
mother died His father married
again, but did not live long, and the
boy had to shift for himself From
habit and usage he can place his
hands on the ground with his body
In horizontal position. He says his
back and shoulders never get tired
from long walks.
The boys mental development has
been slow, but the physician who has
him In charge believes that In six
months he will be able TO walk like
other boys. He Is being trained In
that direction and has made some
progress. He Is gradually developing
mentally as well.
Physicians are studying the case
with exceptional interest In the be-
lief that valuable anthropological nd
medical information may be obtained
from his treatment.
For 10 years the boy has travelled
on all fours, and can walk for miles
