pRJzEs FoR BETTER MILK

T'rNIE Y VII TX 80
To encourage the marketing OF bet
ter and more sanitary milk, the dairy
department of Iowa State college IS
conducting series of market milk
contests which will continue through
the year and which will end in the
awarding of gold and silver medals
for excellence. It is open to Iowa deal
ers only, and Its purpose is two iold:
first, to aid the producer In supplying
the best quality of milk possible, and,
second. to educate the consumer to
recognize and appreciate milk OF the
highest grade. After each contest all
scores above 80 will be published, en-
couraging some rivalry in the market
ing of good product. Two different
classes are open, one for raw milk, the
other for pasteurfzed.
Iowa has real market milk prob
lem, says A. j. Hauser, who is directly
in charge of the contest. In its cities
and towns the average consumption OF
milk per capita is about ITO of a pint
daily. Much of this milk is not care.
fully cared for in production or mar
keting and as result has large bac-
terial content. Both producers and
consumers should understand the milk
problem and know the value of pure
milk and the contest is aimed to bring
and the largest possible Improvement
n milk quality.

'Ine way between GradO and Ir1eSt
| lies through remarkable country"
says National Geographic society
war primer, which describes the
strange path before the invading Ital-
fans to the richest Austrian seaport.
MANY chapters of little-known, but
fascinating history are associated
with this coastal strip at the head of
the Adriotic, and its legendary lore is
as rich as that of Granada. Wealthy
Romans built their villas along this
way during the days of the empire,
and to this region many wars have
dimmed to forgetfulness beside the
main struggles fought on other fields.
"In peace times, small steamer,
besides the railway, furnished COM
munication between Grade and Triest
From the plain of the Isonzo the way
rises steadily to Nebresina. and from
Nebresina falls as steadily to the plain
of Triest. In the uplands, the via
ducts wind in giant coils over the
ragged slopes, and on every hand are
panoramic pictures common to broken
country. The climate is dangerously
southern. The grey limestone breaks
through the vegetation in great
masses. and the way Is literally sprin-
killed. with stone quarries, whose numer-
Gus pits and alleries pierce deep into
the rocks, and whose enormous debris
piles accentuate the peck marks of
the hills. This torn land lies imme-
diately before the advancing Italians.
"Water-worn holes in the porous
rock, and mysterious grottoes and
mouths to the underworld, character
istic of the Istriam region, are found
here. Added to the difficulties OF the
way are many funnel-shaped depres-
sions which occur in the midst of the
regular slopes, often several hundred
feet across and 200 feet deep. There
Is wonderful maze of narrow abys-
ses, hollows, pits, caves. grottoes. and
quarries worked from ancient times,
scattered over this path from Aqui-
LEILA and Grade to Triest and its shell
tered bay"

Hard Liquor Va. Wine and Beer.


Chicago Tribune: Nowhere but in
whisky and gin ads is it set forth
that spirituous liquor does any good.
The harm done increases with the
use made of it and the probability
facing hard liquor drinkers is hard
drinking, which means anything from
the cemetery to the insane asylum.
1t is contended, with a. show of rea-
son which would not appeal to pro-
hibitionist, that the use Of fermented
liquors must mean some demand in
herent in man. There may be some
thing in the conditions of his life, in
his nervous system, in his philosophy,
in his desire to escape stark terms OF
existence which drives him to put
grain, vegetables, or fruit into vat
and get therefrom a liquor which ex-
hilarates.
Experience shows that as men have
been aggressive and vigorous they
have done this, and, although a prohi-
bitionist would not allow the reason
ing, it is maintained and can be main
tanned that we have cause and effect
in operation.
A somnolent, easy going race. burn
ed by the hot sun and reduced to COM
pulsory inactivity, may avoid all forms
Of intoxicant. but races which put
| their nerves to tests and expose their
lives to hardships seem to reach out
| for means of high lighting spots in
their existence.
The argument does not permit dog
matism or fiat assertion, but exper-
| fence reveals more than mere pervers-
| ity in brewing, fermenting, disttll1ng,
and drinking. A habit that so nearly
approaches universally and presents
such record Of continuity through
all history cannot be ascribed down
right to a dominant error in life.
Whatever argument may be made
for wines and brews-assume that
some may be made-none can be
made for spirits. They make wreck
age. Nations which find that they
have drink problem on their hands
! find that 1t has been caused by the
corroding, mind destroying, body sap.
ping incompetence in the use Of dis
titled liquor. Where executive wis
dom is Joined with executive authority
there has been prohibition of the
manufa cture and sale of spirits
Probably no section of the United
States is so organized that it can pro
hibit the sale of spirits and permit
the sale of wines and beer and thus
make an experiment which would be
/, compromise, but which might allow
some latitud3 for personal discretion
and not tolerate the existence of an
indefensible traffic.
If part of the country, if a part
of Illinois, We're so organized as to
