THE ALCOHOL MILK TEST.

The alcohol milk test, used to solAA extent in Europe and believed by some inveshgators to be a quick means of testing the condition and keeping quality of milk, is not a sat isfactory substitute for bacterial ex- animation, according to bacterio- logists of the U.y S. Department Of Agriculture. The alcohol test is bas- ed on the fact that when equal parts of 68 per cent alcohol and milk are mixed and the mixture shaken gently in a test tube, a flaky white precipi- tate will form under certain condi- tions. The occurrence of this pre- cipitate is held, by those who believe in the test, to indicate that changes have been produced in mixed milk as result of bacterial fermentation. The department's investi gators who have reported on the result S Of this test, in bulletin 2O2, '"Tae Alcohol Test in Relation to Milk however, find that alcohol will produce this precipitate when the mixed market milk contains a certain amount Of tactic acid or rennet produced by va rieties of bacteria which form these substances. As a consequence mix may be high in bacteria or other va rieties without showing the precipi- tate when alcohol is added. More over, it has been discovered that even when 1actic-acid or rennet-fOrming organisms present in the milk, the precipftate does not show until these organisms have produced a consider able amount of the special substances which seem to cause the reaction with alcohol.
 In the case of mixed market milk, which frequently contains many va rieties of bacteria other than the la,ctic-acid or rennet-forming kinds; the alcohol test may be negative when the bacterial examination shows a high count.
 On the other hand, in the case of milk from a. single COW, the inves-
 igation apparently establishes the fact that a positive reaction in 6S per cent alcohol test indicates that the milk is abnormal. Even here, however, the value of the alcohol test with milk from a single COW, or a small herd, lies principally in the fact that 1t will show when the milk is abnormal and will give warning that a carefu examination of the herd should be made. It also might indi- cate the need for improvement in the method of handling and chilling the milk, with the object of checking the growth of mi1k-souring organisms. |

THE GIRL ON THE FARM.

Much has been said about the nee- essity of keeping the boys at nome on the farm. That the girl on the farm also constitutes problem IS shown by the replies receiveo ron ron North Dakota by Chicago's Municipal ernDIoymeut bureau. Investigation Tn that state reveals the fact that girls are wanted even more than men, They are needed as helpers to fafm- ers' wives. Twenty dollars a month plus board is a, common o1er. It is better than most girls can do Tn department stores. No doubt there is a demand for them in other states The social objections to domestic service do not seem to apply III the country home. The fact that IL IS so often customary for householo t,ll servant to eat her meals in the kitchen probably repe1s American girls from housework more than any thing else
 With the family of the employer, the arrangement is not meant in any sense as a degredation. They simply want their own private family life But American girls have their own pride, and they feel it as class dis tinction.
 The farmers wife does not feel the desire for seclusion that is mani fested by the town bred family. She already has altogether too much se- cIusion, which is handed her in large chunks. She would welcome the housework girl, if the latter had any elements of congeniality whatever, to the family intimacy.
 Country life is great 1eveller. Af- ter the dishes are done, the hired girls chances to get partners at the cross roads dances viii be limited only by her ability to dance we'll The nature of her employment will not be a deterrent. In fact the country boy has vast respect for a good cook.

The country boy Is not migrating to the city as fast as he did It isl Beginning to dawn on him that when he drops the raising of food products, he is selling out his interest in a commodity that is rapidly rising in price. Nobody ever advanced in life on that principle. And as, the boys stay on in the country, the girls will stay on too. The farmers are going to own many more automobiles in the year 1925 than the store clerks.

THIS WIFE INSISTED ON
 WING MORNING PAPER

stood it for years and here was he complaining only after few mornings. However, the paper was soon laid any, where on the table. Husband would pick it up, scan the headlines and lay it aside. Gust think! he never read the ball news.) He may have bought another on his way to the office but I do know this--when he came in at night and told him that I had bought the best pair of S7 shoes at Porter's s for only $5 he would praise me for being moneysaver and call me bar gain hunter, but tht smile always told me what he thought of $2 saved.
 Take heed. wives, get the morning paper, hang onto 1t, hunt the bar gains and two to one there will be more money in the bank to "our" credit at the end of the month and when the husband wonders why, tell him it was because I read the morning paper and found where I could get the best for the least money. Very truly, MRS. B. II.

JUDGE HUNDLEY OFF
 HARMONY
 MEETING IN GOTHAM
Council Called to Attempt to Heal Essential Differences Between Republicans
 and PrOgressives

For the purpose of attending q council called to readjust essential differences be- tween the republican and the progressive
 parties in order that the pewter handle
 may be welded on the wooden spoon
 Judge Oscar k. Hundley left yesterday for New York.
 Judge Hundley and other progressive leaders in Alabama agree with leaders of the republican party that the privates in the ranks of both organizations are ready for amalgamaton, and that amal- gamation will be achieved unless recon- ciliation is made impossible through an inpolitfc nomination. Senator Root, un- til recently, regarded as the probable nominee of the republican party, is, in the opinion of Judge Hundley, eliminated. T have hope" said Judge Hundley, that differences will be adjusted. The elimination of Root in the support of whom progressves would not have joined, will help the general cause. When the people of New York overwhelmingly re- jected Roots proposed constitution, they denied him the privilege of leading the republican party in the quadrennial strug- gle for the presidency. Taft and Roose- velt to all practical purposes, are elimi- mated, for there seems to be an under standing that reamalgamation could not be effected with either of the old leaders
 as the nominee of the party. Of course,
 at a psychological moment. the name of
 Roosevelt might be mentioned and his partisans storm and carry the convention. But I do not anticipate Mr Roosevelt appearing as formal candidate for the nomination..
 Judge Hundley declared that he would not be surprised were the republican con vention next year to nominate Henry Dodge Estabrook, lawyer, orator and
 politician of New York.

Refuses to Restrain Express Co. From Carrying Pack ages of Liquor Containing Less Than Quarts
BLACK ANNOUNCES
 HE WILL APPEAL TO
 THE SUPREME COURT
Company Shows It Accepts Shipments in Sealed Pack ages and Has No Right to Break Them Open

Solicitor Blacks attempt to prevent the Southern Express company from carry ing into Jefferson county liquors that bore advertisements received a rude jolt yes terday when Judge H. A. Sharpe of the city court denied in toto his plea for an injunction. Solicitor Black will appeal to the supreme court.
 The solicitor sought to restrain the ex- press company from delivering liquors in less than one quart bottles and in pack ages that contained advertising litera- tlre. In the answer of the express com pany to this comploint it was shown to tGe court that tie liquor was offered for shipment in sealed packages and that as it was contrary to law to break open the packages the Southern Express com pany had no means of ascertaining just what the package held and therefore was not amenable under the anti-advertlsing law
 Another point which the solicitor stressed was that liquor packages were delivered to other than the consignees In this the express company replied that 1t had used due diligence in ascertaining the identity of the consignees. The ex- press company also showed that 1t was not a party to any soliciting.
 All the salient points of Solicitor Black g writ of injunction were denied.
 The hearing lasted all yesterday after noon and Judge Sharpe's decision came after hours Of oratory from the attorneys on both sides
