FOR CLEANER MILK.


We can all favor the resolutions
adopted by the Iowa milk dealers at
the recent convention in Davenport
recommending the passage Of a law
forbiddtng the use of milk bottles for
any other purpose. 1t appears from
the testimony given at the convention
that some women--of course none OF
them live hereabouts-have been known
to use milk bottles for any other pur-
poses, even as receptacles for gasolene
and kerosene. The proposed law would
make ii punishable offense to put
ANYTHING other than milk and water
in such bottles. And the water must
be put in for cleaning purposes only.
not added to the milk.
Chief Chemist Goeoel. of this city
has been making series OF chemical
analyses Of the milk furnished to Cedar
Rapids consumers. He has found that
the milk which comes from the farm
to the consumers in bottles is much
better than the milk brought in big
cans. There are not nearly 80 many
bacteria in it. The bottle method Of
handling milk is preferable in every
way. But the milk men say that to
make it truly effective they must have
the cooperation OF the housewives in
keeping the bottles absolutely clean.

the RIVER NEVER WENT.

DISPATCHES on Sunday told OF the
death at MacGregor of "old George
Boardman" the last Of the old river
men and pioneer merchants of the
early Steamboat days. And on the
same day the Burlington HaWkeye
whose venerable editor may himsef
recall the flush times on the river
when the steamboats, crowded the
wharves Of the river towns and the
river was the main artery OF COM
nerce of a wide district, forecasts in
an editorial the return Of the river TO
a greater and buster era Of commerce
than that of the older day. Inc
Hawkeye feels full confidence that the
dredge boats are to bring back the
river" And all will join in the hope
of the Hawkeye. Many will accept Its
prophecy as certain. For it Is in the
march of modern efficiency that the
mighty river that leads thru CONT
nent shall some day carry the burden
1t was intended from the beg ming OF
the world to bear.
But those old river days will never
return nor the men who made them.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Barre Residents

Many people in a misguided
effort to get rid Of kidney back
ache, rely on plasters, liniments

The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Barre.
