is 1881, O42.27. The total certi-
fled by State Auditor Gordon was

DRINK SOUR MILK
IN WARM WEATHER
DIR. M. P. Ravenel of the Universe
ty of Missouri Advises Its
Use Especially in
Summer,

Many people have a prejudice
against sour milk. Nevertheless,
during the past few years it has
come into great popularity in the
United States. This has been
largely due to the influence Of
Professor Metchinkoff Of the Pas
teur Institute in Paris, whose
death was recently announced,
says DR.. NJ. P. Ravenel of the de-
partment Of preventive medicine
of the University Of Missouri.
Metchinkoff made many studies
on the prolongation of life, and
came to the conclusion that one
great cause of death was decom-
position Of food in the intestinal
tract and absorption of the pois-
onous products. It is a known
fact that many nations of the
world, especially Of Western Asia
and Eastern Europe, look upon
sur milk as an essential part of
their daily diet. Among the Bull
garians, who use sour milk habit
uaily, an unusual number of very
old people is found. MetchnikoH
believed that this was due to the
large amount of sour milk used
and showed that by introducing
the sour milk bacteria in milk the
bacteria which is found normally |
h the intestinal tract could be |
driven ont and replaced by those |

 There was a large meeting schedul- ed for Old Saybrook on Wednesday afternoon. The Cummings party was advised to lay off and forget Old saybrook. ''why2" asked the ad- vance manager.
 Well" was the retort, they're just 175 men in this town and 150 of them are attending the Worlds Series base ball game at New York today" In- vestigation proved this fact to be lit- orally true. Old Saybrook, in toto, was on Worlds Series spree and a political speaker might as we'll talk at the North Pole that day, so far as getting an audience was concerned.
 So the Cummings party adjourned to the Griswold house at Essex and put up its assembled feet on the yer anda railing for an unwonted rest of hour or two in an otherwise very strenuous itinerary. '.

lHPRUDENCE TO CHANCE, ASSERTS
 WILLIAM 6. RICE
Every Industrious Person Should Deeply Consider
 Problem.

New York. Oct. 14-Announcing his support of President Wilson, State Ci- vii Service Commissioner William Gorham Rice, of Albany, has address ed the following letter to Amos Pin chot. Chairman of the Wilson Pro- gressive League:
 "President wilson's policies are
 constructive. His Federal Reserve Law has mobilized our financial re- sources. His Child Labor legislation has begun at once to build up men and women for the future. His TradS Commission >bill is multiplying out material strength. His Eight-hour Law Commission leads in the direc- ton of unity of our social forces. His Agricultural Education Act and his Rural Credits Plan make for the in- crease of the nations necessary sup plies. All these no less than his Army and Navy bills are measures Of wise preparedness. f/
 "He has bettered the Federal Civil Service. Particularly has his admin istration done this in inaugurat1ng a system by which salaries are adjust ed in proportion to definitely record ed efficiency-a reform necessary if public work is ever to reach the stan dards of well-conducted private bus mess. Civil service reformers who condemn President Wilson must be- ware lest they put tithe of mint and cummin before the weightier matters of the law.
 "As a Democrat I am proud of a President who is eminent1y a con- structive leader and who at the same time is guided by first considera- ton of every interest involved. But another phase of the situation chiefly gives me confidence in President Will sons reelection. It is that his prtn- cipal measures have had the support and votes of not a Few Republicans in Congress Such men have sustain ed these measures either from a be- lief in the rightness of the. policies proposed or from a fear of running counter to the sentiment of their in- dependent constituents at home. Whichever cause is assigned, will it not likewise operate on election day? And will not the independent vote then make itself strongly manifest in direct support of President Wilson?
 'Not to swap horses while cross ing a stream embodies the shrewd wis., dom of our pioneer life. Let every business man today, let every indus trious person, let every Independent thinker ask himself: Is it prudent now to take the captain off the bridge? Is 1t right to send below the very commander who has knowledge of the chart, gained by profound ex- perience, and who, more than any other man of his day and, generation, is entitled to the credit of having so far guided the ship of state through perilous seas, in prosperity, in honor and in safety?"

FROST EXPECTED
 FOR ROOSEVELT
 IN WILKES BARRE
twill He Get Away Witt It?" Political Leaders
 Are Asking Selves.

Wilkesbarre. Oct. IA Whether Theodore Roosevelt can "get away with it'' when he speaks here on capi- tai and labor tonight is question that has this center of the Anthracite coal mining industry by the ears.
 Will the Coloners exuberant person ality and hand-shaking, back-slapping condescension save him from the frost that is being freely predicted
 In and about Wilkesbarre are 75,000 coal miners who have been attending union meetings and reading and listen ing and using their heads. They don't need to be told where their own inter est lies. They have their own opin- ions about the Danbury Hatters' case and the eight-hour law. What Colo nel Roosevelt did in the coal strike fourteen years ago doesn't impress them now so much as the issues of the present. When he talks about the Re- publican candidate being too big to Surrender to the union" they are dis posed to recall that it was Roosevelt who surrendered to Morgan & Co.,, in 1907 and gave his official sanction to the violation of the Sherman act in be gobbled up by the Steel corpora order that Tennessee Coal & Iron could ton. Remembering that famous sur render, the 75,000 union men of Wi1kesbarre refuse to become excited over President Wilson's Surrender" to the eight-hour day.
 l T. R. doubtless will draw a crowd and make a big noise, but after the shouting's over the effect will be reg sstered in little groups of miners dis eussing the statement of their national President, John P. White, who de- clared this week that Roosevelt in att tacking President Wilson is attack ing the very life of unionism. Whites statement is being published broadcast among the miners in local newspa- pers and on handbills. I.t
 Tn miners recognize that Roosevelt is coming to the coal fields to attempt to demonstrate the strength of the G. o. F. candidate by the measure of his own personal popularity. They are wondering whether the Coloners pop ulandty will stand the strain
