Revival of Strange Word.

When the stock exchanges of Eu-
rope and the United States had closed
or were being and the banks were
raising their discount rate TO protect
their gold resources there came over
the cables and the land wires an un-
usual word. 1t had been heard but
seldom since the Frenco-been heard

but seldom since France Prussfan

February Is. OF those years it was
heard often, but 1t laid away in the
dictionaries for forty-three years, and
came back into current speech only
when the pail of war panic fell on Eu-
rope. That word Is moratorium"
1t sent many men scurrytng to their
lexicons.
In one of the cables come this news;
THE London Stock Exchange was
it's history. There was run on the
Bank of England and all London
banks. and the London banks aave
decided to pay only 10 per cent OF
Withdrawals in gold. There is talk
of suspension of the# bank act and
even of a moratorium, a moratorium
is expected in Paris today" Sunday,
August 2, the king OF England issued
proclamation declaring mora

AN EASY TEST FOR DIRTY MILK
Something Worth While to Know b,
HOusekeepers.

1T needs no argument to prove that
milk contaminated with stable filth is
no more fit for food than other foods
exposed under the same Objectionable
conditions. Dirty milk is not only OBJ
jectionable because of any visible dirt
but because of the invisible bacteria
which accompany it and threaten the
health of the consumer, especially in
fants.' 1t is claimed by one who has
made Investigations, that 100000 ba-
bies in the civilized world die every
year and that about 100000 of them
could be saved by the saved by the use
of clean milk
Dirty milk that has been carefully
strained through a layer of absorb
ent cotton may not show sediment on
the bottom of the bottle, but that is
not final test for it's quality. Most OF
| the bacteria were washed through the
| filter and these bacteria finding the
milk favorable to growth, increased
greatly in numbers.
| The following test will indicate the
presence of stable filth in both the
visible and invisible states
l. Clense test tube or small bot
tie with boiling water.
| z. COOL to the temperature OF the
hand by holding it by the bottom in
an inverted position.
3. Fill half full of the milk in
question and maintain temperature
of from 80 degrees to 100 degrees for
about twenty-four hours.
4. Look for gas holes in the curd
which, if numerous, indicates dirty
milk, and if present in such numbers
as to cause floting curd, indicates
very dirty milk.
The egg incubator or the thermos
bottle may be used in securing the
proper temperature.-W r. Wright
Asst. Bacteriologist.

while. Timmons can find me either
at my club or lodgings"
An inspection of Mrs. Devereaux's
letters, which Timmons handed him
when he emerged from the private Of
fee, shed no light upon the two ladies'
movements or intentions. Paige wrote
only when the spirit moved her,
which was seldom; and SO her silence
was in no way remarkable. But it
seemed that woman of Josephine
Devereaux' mature experience should
realize the advisability of keeping
him and his uncle better informed.
Paige Carew, 1t may be inferred,
was an orphan; she had been since
early childhood.
However, he straightway forgot her
thought of her no more for about
five minutes, when she was brought
to mind again in most unexpected

rendered him vexed and impatient.
Gradually Mr. Van Vechten's brain
bridged the wide gap between matters,
commercial and those Immediately af-

president of the Continental Union

other was head of the Atlas Safe

allied with Consolidated Metals, and
which had of late monopolized Theo-

the world of finance and commerce

here they were merely lieutenants

'Well?" Mr.. Van Vechten at last
broke the silence
Rudolph was brief and to the point
