AMERICAN MULES
IN EUROPEAN WAR
CBy United Press

KANSAS CITY, Jan. Twelve
hundred or more of Amenca's sturdy
mules are joining the armies Of Great
Britain weekly. according to stock
yards experts today. Already the to-
tai ssenlistments" of mules in this
country exceed 1000, and there is a
probability that the record exports of
more than 100000 Of these animals
during the Boer war viii be broken
if the European war is prolonged.
Inspections of mules are being held
by British buyers at Kansas City, st.
Louis and Nashville, Tennessee. The
animals are costing the British gov
eminent nearly $250,000 weekly. Her
purchases to date represent an expen-
diture Of more than S1,250,000. Great
Britain has been able to raise billions
of dollars in special war loans, but
I dealers i'm mules declare that her enOr-
nous expenditure for their animals
prove that she considers them indis
pensible in war.
While Great Britain is the only Eu.
ropean ')elligerent now buying mules
for her armies, negotiations are being
carried On with agents of the French
and italian governments by Missouri
mule dealers, and it is probable that
these countries viii place contracts
for mules in the near future. A lack
of appreciation of the great value of
mules for war purposes, dealers Of
Missouri say, is the reason for the fail
.ure Of the French government, which
is buying thousands of cavalry and
artillery horses weekly in the United
States, to take mules.
Many mules which earned retire
ment on pastures long ago are being
. enlisted" by the British army buy
ers. This is due TO the fact that the
British contracts call for mules be
tween six and ten years old. As many
mules il to 20 years old have teeth
as good as those of their %10-year-old
:. brothers. - not a few of the animals
accepted on the army contracts have
already served on farms more than a
decade. The old mules bring the same
prices as the young animals, and rs
the latter are worth more in domestic
markets, it is profitable, if ungrateful,
to send the 10 and ~20-year-olds to the
battlefelds Of Europe.
The British army buyers require
that the mules offered them stand l5.1
to 1873 hands high and measure IS
inches around the girth and seven
inches around the shin bone. Tape
measures are used in passing on all
mules submitted for the inspection Of
the British agents. Two inspectors of
the English government have measur-
ed and accepted as many as 22j mules
in a single days work of less than
hours.
Great Britain would undoubtedly
have purchased many more mules
than she has already taken for her
armies but for the fact that her war
department IS experiencing great dif
iculty in obtaining transport room
for the animals. The British govern
ment is now holding nearly $4,000
horses and mules at Lathrop, Mo-,
Port Chalmete, La, and other points,
pending the completion Of shipping
arrangements across the Atlantic.
The feed bill for the animals held at
Lathrop alone is more than SIS, 900.

HOW TO RAISE BEAUTIFUL
CHILDREN IS EXPLAINED

No matter how homely you or your

or plump as your tastes are inclined.
Here's the recipe:
When you've discovered the stork
lowering about your home, obtain a
picture of your ideal of babyhood,
look at it every day at regular times
for several minutes at a time This is
all you have to do.

Last Sunday Jimmie Dean and

Last Sunday Jimmie Dean and | Willie GlaSSOn, two of Gov ernor Maytorena's birdmen, had a narrow scape from death, when trying-out the aeroplane at Lomas, two miles south of | NOgaleS. The motor got out of order when three hundred feet in the air and fell, striking some small oak trees. The machine was badly smashed, but the brave aviators escaped with a few bruises. Captains Dean and Glasson say they are in the game to stay.

Section of Tucson Ordinance.

The standard of milk for the city is stabliShed as follows; it must contain at.least 12 per cent solids, at least 3.25 per cent butter fat and not more than 15O, ,OOO bacteria per cubic centi- meter, it must not contain any adulterant and must be delivered to the consumer before it is twenty four hours old. Cream must contain at least IS per cent butter fat and not more than 25O,OOO bacteria per cubic centi- meter.-TucSOn Star.

In Re Milk Supply of NogaIes.

I would suggest that same be regulated by an ordinance sim liar to the one passed by the City of Tucson. This ordinance is very liberal, and the maximum bacterial content allowed is bare ly within the bounds of safety. The amount of solids required is also somewhat below the de- sidered standard; however, if the dairymen endeavor to carry out the intention of the law, it will be rare to find the maximum bacterial count allowed, and the solids will not often fall to the limit prescribed.
 l have had conferences with various of the dairymen and with many milk consumers, and all are agreed that the price of milk should be in proportion to the percentage of butter fat con- tained, and the cleanliness ob- served. It is self-evident that milk which originally contained four per cent of butter fat, is worth more than the same milk reduced by the addition of twen- ty-f five per cent of water, lower ing the butter fat percentage to three per cent. The consumer would rather pay twenty five per cent more and dilute it to suit his own taste.
 The dairymen should also be protected, and, the results obtain ed by examination should be made public in order that the ex- pense incurred by them to bring the milk up to standard by few and not by others, would be standard milk would not have the advantage of competing by selling milk at cheaper rate; as the consumer would then know he was getting less for his money, than he would obtain by purchasing standard milk sold by those who had gone to the expense of fitting up their dairies in order that standard milk could be produced.
 The composition of milk varies considerably, depending upon the breed of COW, method of feed ing, health of animal, season, and other conditions.
 The following is an average of the butter fat content of the various breeds of COWS:
 Durham, 4.O4 per cent; Devon, 4.O9 per cent; Ayrshire, 3.89 per cent; Holstein, 2.88 per cent; Brown Swiss, 400 per cent; Jer- sey, 5.21 per cent; Common Ma tive, 3.69 per cent; American Grade, 4.O1 per cent.
 You can readily see from the above that the most valuable milk as food, when it is equal ly free from bacteria, is the milk from the Jersey breed, and is worth almost double in food value as compared with the HolStein.
 This is mentioned to empha- size how important to the public is the knowledge of the fat per- centage contained in the milk they purchase and which can not be controlled in any practical way by town ordinance.
 I attach clipping from the Tue son Star, covering the principal points that should be covered by this regulation.

MORALES MILK QUESTION.
Report of Town Health Officer for the
 Month of June, 1915.

During the month I collected sixteen samples of milk and sent tbem to the State Laboratory for examination. I attach here to the report of the State Bacte- riologist.
 You will notice that there are but five samples that come with in the scope of safety; they are Nos. 1, 4, 8, 9 and IS; No. 6 not reported; Nos. 1 and 9 being es- pecially good.
 The report falls short in that it was expected that full exa- imitation would be made, as Dr. MeServe informed me while he was in Nogales making his in spection.
 It is necessary to know the percentage of fat, of non-fatty solids and water, which should be at least 3.75 of fat; 8.75 other solids and the balance 87. 50 per cent water.
 It is also necessary to know if conservatives have been added, such as Boric Acid, Formalde- hyde, Hydrogen Peroxide, Saly- ellie Acid or Bicarbonate.
 If any of these chemicals have been added to the samples 1, 4. 8. 9, 15 then, of course they would come under the same category as unsafe milk for i'm fants and the sick, and even more so than the others, which can be made safe by boiling.
 I have these matters under earnest consideration and would recommend that all milk dealers be notified that I will re-Sample the milk at not distant date. and that anyone discovered sell ing or offering for sale any milk below the standard adopted by law, that they will be prosecut- ed to the full extent.
