the stable as is practicable, and should
be clean, and the air as free from
dust as is possible at all times. Some
dairymen have a special room In
which to take the cow for milking.
This room is kept freer from bacteria
than is possible in the general stable.
This is a very good plan. but it is not
always practicable.
The mixer is often the source OF
some OF the most dangerous bacteria
found in milk, especially germs which
produce contagious diseases. Mix
thus contaminated is distributed by
the milkman. and a. whole neighbor-
hood suffers. This is a case where
there can be no doubt as TO the re-
sponsibility of the milkman. and will
full negligence should be made a Grim
inal offense. Nearly every physician
of experience In our cities has met
with epidemics which can be traced
directly to q contaminated milk sup.

HOW THE MASTERS WORKED
Great Musical Composers Used Dlf.
ferent Methods In Getting Their
Melodies Before the World.

Mozart loved company, wine. and
good fellowship. Operative managers
were driven TO despair by the fact that
he would linger In the wine room or
ut the billiard table when they were
In sad need OF perhaps an overture
that he had promised. but had put on
writing until tomorrow"
But the overture was sure to be
forthcoming just at the last moment,
Tor was II not all completed in his
head, and had It not been for many
days or weeks? II was the manual
labor OF writing out that he shirked.
Who that has copied music can blame
him?
Schubert fingered much at the tav.
ern- Well. perhaps IL was more cheer
full than his home. No cIatter OF
plates and glasses or chatter Of busy
tongaes could stay the flow Of his
beautiful melodies.
The fountain must fiow even though
the world thought naught OF the
stream. Many OF his songs went for
twenty cents apiece, while their au-
thor lacked the necessities Of life.
Haydn would shut himself up In his
sixth story garret and pen the sym
phonies which paved the way for Mo-
zart and Beethoven. So absorbed in
his work would Haydn become that
the absence OF food or fuel was un-
known; the Joy Of composition was
enough to produce oblivion TO ali min
or matters such as food. But q scold-
Ing wife may have had somewhat to
do with his voluntary isolation.

these kinds should be In proportion
to their significance to health. Il is
hardly necessary to say that cleanli-
ness In all operations Is at the foun-
dation Of the whole problem.
Repeated tests have shown that
even when a COW is cleaned as thor.
oughly as possible. under stable con-
ditions. particles OF dust will be
thrown OFF from her body during
milking time, and these get into the
milk and contaminate Il. Cows should
be kept away from sources OF con.
tamination. such as sink holes I'm
which stagnant water accumulates
for such holes breed enormous mum.
bers of putrefactive bacteria which
are especially dangerous to infants
causing digestive troubles. There
should be no places I'm the barnyard
for water to stagnate. The manure
should be kept gathered up. and every
effort made to keep the COW free from
contamination.
The COW should be thoroughly
cleaned. preferably Immediately before
milking. IL is also well to clip the
hair short around the fianks and nd
der, and always advisable to moisten
the flank just before milking. All OF
these precautions tend to lessen the
amount of dust or loose hair which
will be given of from the cow.
Keep the stable free from dus,
during milking. Dust usually comes
from feed. bedding. or from breezes
which collect dust outside the stable
and carry 1t inside. The stable should
be constructed so as to collect as lit.
tie dust as possible. Corners should be
avoided, unnecessary timber should
be left out. and the surfaces should
be smoothed.
There should be an abundance OF
light In the stable. Light is one OF
the cheapest and best germicides.
Stables should be whitewashed fre.
quently. Lime itself has a germicidal
value. and IL makes the stable lighter.
Some dairymen use chloride of lime
In the whitewash. This assists In kill.
Ing any form Of life with which Il
comes in contact.
A special room should be provided
Tor weighing and cooling the milk.
This room should be as remote from

KEEPING MILK CLEAN
Problem Is to Keep Out An Bae-

Cows Should se Kept Away From
All Sources Of Contamination

During Milking Operations.

The great problem Of handling milk
Is the control Of the bacterial con-
tent; the exclusion Of undesirable
kinds and the introduction OF those
which bring about changes that are
desired.
Milk from healthy cows is practi-
cally free from bacteria when Sc

One Hundred Members They've got to be got. And they will be.
Looking Forward,

The conversation at recent dinner party turned to the subject of prepar ing for the future when this little story was smilingly recalled by Captain Til. Huston, one of the owners of the New York American League team.
 Some time ago a kindly old woman visited a penitentiary, and during her trip through the wards she got into conversation with one of the prisoners.
 "They tell me-" gently remarked the good woman, 'that you will soon leave this dreadful place."
 "Yes, lady, answered the other, mentally picturing the days to come, 'in few months now will be payin' me own board ag'in."
 "I am So glad," heartily returned the benevolent visitor. "Have you any plans for the future ?''
 "Yes, ma'am," was the frank re- jointed of the prisoner, 1.-two national banks and postoffice.

ReSourcefuI.

There is a certain middle-aged and ld-fashioned. business man who is a little doubtful whether he, or the other, carried off the honors of war in an in- terview given to a smart young man.
 The smart young man was applying for berth.
 "Let me see," said the merchant, "you've called on me before, but not on your present errand. The first time you represented Up-to-Date Limited and offered to put our concern on modern lines. Then you came on be- half of Systems and Files, and said you were business doctors. And after that you came as the publicity expert of the Newest in Ads. Company 7"
 "That is so, sir. :"
 And are all these-er-companie dead ?''
 The young man reluctantly admitted that they were.
 Yet, after coming here three times to offer to teach us our business, when your concerns go down you coolly solicit berth in this poor, effete old firm. Why, what use are you to us Look at your record !'
 The optimist countered that easily.
 "You never know, sir. I might be very useful. Look what q splendid ex- perience I've had in winding up com panies.

TO THEIR ETERNAL SHAME.

Running through all the confusir and conflicting mass of opinion and sentiment regarding the duty of the United States Government in the dis. tressing situation brought about by the sinking of the Lusitania and the loss of more than 100 American lives, there is one theme. distinct and unmistakable; and that is, that however Germany may conStrue and distOrt international law and the usages of warfare in her efforts to justify her deliberate all initiation or nearly l, ,500 persons, non- combatants including women and children, the dastardly act was none the less a violation of every dictate of civilized humanity-an act of heartless and cruel barbarism.
 The valorous chivalry that finds glory and claims the sanction of AL mighty God in the ruthless murder of hundreds of helpless women and in- nocent babies, may be consistent with the traditions of people claiming to have reached the highest pinnacle of civilization, education and "culture. " But in the eyes of all the rest of the world it brands that people with a stigma of abhorrent shame and disgrace that will hardly be effaced by genera tions of repentance.
 Our hyphenated fellow citizens who have Loyalty cherished their regard for the "Vaterland" will find scant reason in the Lusitania "victOry" to throw their hats into the air and "Hoch der Kaiser!"

Letters From the People
Who Wants to Hire |?
Litor of Tine News :

To the Editor of The News:
 Will you do us the favor of kindly drawing the attention of your readers to the large number of able-bodied and willing-spirited men, who are seeking employment through the Bowery Mis- sion Free Labor Bureau.
 During the eight years this Bureau has been organized. 2G,S64 men have been placed in positions, and, with the exception of a very small percentage, probably not more than one per cent, these men have made good.
 The Mission endeavOrs to instil into the mind of every man it sends out d storng moral purpose, and to create ln his heart fixed determination to live an upright, self-respecting and indus trious life.
 In the Mission Industries, the Labor Settlement ut Tuckahoe, N. Y., and the recently purchased farm at York town Heights. N. Y, men are given temporary work, and undergo a proba- tionary test as to character and ability.
 Men that show an aptitude for farm work are now able to secure training in the rudiments of agriculture, under an experienced aud expert farmer.
 No charre is made either to employ CTS or employees, but the cos5 of trans portation must pc paid in advance, as the Mission has no fund available for that purpose. We take care however to see each man safely out of the city on the train, boat, or cars, on the way to his destination.
 Farmers are everywhere calling for reliable help. Your readers will no doubt be glad to know of this recent addition to the Bowery Mission work which makes this institution one of the most complete of its kind. If they will communicate with us, we shall be glad to be of whatever service we can in supplying them with eXperienced men. Yours very truly,
 James T. Hunt, Business Manager.
