A Leipsic scientist, DR.. Lobeck, has
devised a new process OF sterilizing
milk, which leaves the properties and
flavor unmodifed. It consists OF a
more sudden heating than by pas
teurization, to n temperature OF 1A
degrees Fahrenheit. followed by i'm
mediate cooling. The machine used
IN the process Is easily cleansed and
sterilized by operating It for ten min
utes with very hot water instead OF
milk. 1t is a simple apparatus. and
runs for hours without attention. The
provision Of an innocuous milk sup
ply for great cities at a reasonable
price offers one OF the most impor-
tant practical problems Of the age.
Sterilization IL cheaper than applica-
ton Of the antituberculin test to the
herds. Properly conducted 1t is high
ly ~eficacious, because It ensures the
wholesomeness Of the product up to
the time OF bottllng, destroying germs
that may have found their way into

An Iowa professor is telling farm
Eers' Institutes that the high cost OF
living is due to the drift to the cities.
He ought to tell that to the city men

farms, says the New York Times. He
cant shock the farmers by telling
them why their prices are high. II
the drift to the cities raises the cost
Of their products the farmers will not
be kept from the cities. According
to the professor, in 1900 90 per cent.
Of the population were farmers,
against SO per cent. now. But what
does that prove? We have more
bushels apiece now than then. for the
simple reason that n man now can
raise more than a dozen could then,
In 1900 farmers did not pillow and har-
vest by power machines "a hours a
day. They were willing to, but what
was impossible for man and beast a
hundred years ago is easy now by the
machinery which could not exist with

not live by eating alone. II 80 per
cent. Of the population were, sent back
to the farms, how should we be
clothed or housed, or how could we

railways? The professors figures may
be right, but his deduction will stand

The influence OF a true character
should never lack expression In some
form. For instance. we heard the
other day a great cause ridiculed and
denounced in the presence OF a man
of positive convictions and who Is
always active for things that are
right. But he was as silent as a tomb
stone during the dellverance OF this
]invectIve. Why was he so? One
clear note from him would have ST.
fenced the assailant. Not that hts
word would have done It, nor hiB ut
terance or arguments. His character
would have done the work, says the
Ohio State Journal. The influence OF
n clean, noble life set up against the
adversary Of good causes will always
win a triumph. It may not provoke
controversy or invite argument; that
ia a foolish course. The thing to do
Is to quietly but firmly dissent. to let
the man know that his opinion Is not
approved; that he Is fighting his own
windmill. 1t is often a disquieting
sight to see n clean, Intelligent man
smile in silence. while some moral
desperate Is attacking some sacred
truth and utter not a word OF dissent
until the man turns away and disap-
pears with an air Of triumph. 1t
makes one feel that the forces OF evil
are on the aggressive, while right
has retreated to cover and
has abandoned the conflict.
