ALWAYS KEEP MILK
COLD AS POSSIBLE
Bacteria Increase Very Slowly at
Low Temperatures-Put Ii
quid Against the Ice.
By WALTER 3. LEUTz.)

The colder milk is kept, the longer
1t will remain sweet. Bacteria are
responsible for the changes which take
place, and bacteria increase in num-
bers very slowly at low temperatures
Therefore, do not leave milk where
it will get warm. If possible, put it
directly against the ice.
If this cannot be done, put it in the
compartment of the ice box directly
beneath the ice, for the air circulating
through the ice chest is coolest direct
ly after it passes over the ice
If no ice box is used, keep the milk
as cool as possible by putting it in the
cellar, or by wrapping the bottle in a
damp cloth and setting it out Of the
direct sunlight in current Of air.

MANURE PILES ARE
DANGEROUS PLACES
Favorite Breeding Spot for Sta.
BILE FIy-AnimaI Refuse Should
Be Spread at Once.

Although straw is the principal
breeding place for the stable fly in
the grain belt, thousands of them de-
velop in manure piles. The house fly
and horn fly also breed extensively
here and therefore the greatest care
should be used in dealing with this
animal refuse.
Manure should be hauled out and
scattered at regular intervals and any
accommodations of straw or hay, espe-
cially adjacent to stables, should be
disposed of. Stable manure being
usually in close proximity to human
habitations, the flies from it have
freer access to man to disseminate
human diseases.

FOUR-IN-ONE LADDER CO..
WORKING 13-H0UR SHlF 7

In keeping with Mishawaka'S pres
cnt era Of prosperity the Four-in-o me
Ladder Co, located IN the old Cneese-
man plant on Z Broadway, IS running
over time and is now six carloads OF
orders in arrears. The plant al the
present time employees over 90 men
who are working 13 hours day. The
capacity Of the plant. which is now
taxed is almost a carload of ladders
& day which means a production OF
nearly 500 ladders in the Is hours.
The concern is anticipating even a
greater volume of business, new or
ders as we'll as renewals being re
ceived in every mail.
The company has been operating in
the new plant for several months,
moving from the old Simplex factory
on 5. Main ST., last spring. At that
time the concern had completely out
grown its production capacity and
larger quarters were necessary at
once. The concern IS now rapidly ap-
preaching another such condition and
il may be necessary TO soon add addi-
tional buildings. When the plant was
leesta blished the placing of machinery
and working conditions were so ar
ranged to give the best possible effl-
cheney. The Ford system of prOduc-
ton is followed out At the extreme
east end the lumber enters in the
rough and comes out the finished
product after completing a round OF
the building, at the warehouse Just
south of the manufacturing building
From this building the ladders are
loaded into the cars.
The business of the firm is still in
it's infancy and the ladder has been
mererly introduced in it's field. Few
shipments have been made west OF St
Louis. although the eastern market
has been rapidly cultivated.

COTTON SENSITIVE ID bULL|SH NEWS Prices Rise on a More HOpe- full View of the Politi-

New Orleans, September 2.--The cotton
 market was Hervous and unsettled to- day, but periods of strength were shown and the close was at net gain of to IA points. The approaching holidays caused much realizing on long contracts and this selling was against values. The market, however, was sensitive to bull ish news and on soft spots needed SUD- port was furnished.
 In the early trading prices were sent ' to points under yesterdays close by realizing and by better reports from the belt regarding weather conditions. The good cables were without much influence on prices. Early in the session buying developed on the rise in foreign exchange and on more hopeful view regarding the political situation. In addition there were many bullish reports concerning the business being done by both English and American mills. Around the middle of the day the strongest months were 10 points over yesterdays close. This ad- vance was pared down in the early after noon, but the downward movement was only momentary as the storm warning for the Atlantic coast and vague rumors Of another tropical storm caused heavy buying on which the market bulged sharply to a level 21 to 22 points up net on the most active months. When it was seen that the storm was working to the north of the cotton region prices fell off somewhat. but the close was steady.
