A Wilkes Barre Event

The group of reporters that happened
to be at Wilkes.Barre in the 1914 cam.
paign tell pretty story A love feast"
was given one night at the hotel in which
Mr.. Mccormick was staying. He was a
candidate on a platform which included
local option, and either by intent or acct
dent the entertainment" at this feast,
included an injudicous amount of liquor
Mr.. Mccormick was not responsible, but
when the bill was presented he was asked .
to pay some 500 for entertainment" His
manager made inquiries and discovered
the niger in the woodpie Mccormick
had to choose between being called d
cheap sport" "a piker," and being mixed
up with the liquor interests in a parties
larly disagreeable way. Neither was easy
but he chose the harder one and refused
to pay the bill. Those who had enjoyed
the entertainment" with possibly an idea
of it's after-effect were forced to dig deep
and pay the fiddler. ka
The McCormicks are what is known q
a good family, and the Camerons. with
whom they are connected, have supplied
two members to the United States Senate.
The family is probably the largest holder
of agricultural lands in the State, and
Mr.. Mccormick owns besides one OF the
best coal mines in Dauphin County, cleo
trio companies and other property. He
is unmarried and has devoted himself FOR
many years to his mother and his sister,
with whom he lives. In Harrisburg MS
home is on the Susquehanna, about four +
doors away from the Executive Mansion;
but he owns a large estate not far away
which he calls Rosegarden, and on which
he raises pure stock, pure plants ana
pure policies. At least, that is his pur-
pose

The Mountain States Telephone &

OF between sixty and seventy men in

caused to its property by the storm of

men are employed in Connection with
the reconstruction OF the lines of the

number are engaged in similar capa-

of these men, who are extra linemen
in the service of the company. were

work Is done, for the most part. under
the instruction OF ]. F. Elliott of Den

that the task in which these men are
engaged will keep them busy until
about the middle of July.
Some idea OF the damage done to
the telephone company's property in
Fremont county by the recent storm
may be gained from the statement
that four hundred poles were broken
down and the wires everywhere
twisted and broken. The chief enei-

KILLING MILK BACTERIA.

There Is no valid objection 10 pas
teurization when properly performed.
and the process makes safer even the
most carefully handled and inspected
milk. 1t seems probable that within
the next two years large proportion
Of the milk supply In the large cities
win be pasteurized- There Is already
q marked tendency In this direction.
Before the value OF pasteurizatlon
~ q hygienic measure was as well
recognized AS II Is today. II was prac-
ticed in secret by n number OF milk
dealers rs n means OF preserving milk
and preventing II from souElng. It's
commercial value In this respect Is
undoubtedly great. but Its chief func-
ton Is the destruction of diSease-pro-
ducing organisms. Proper pasteuriza-
ton should destroy about 90 per cent
Of all the bacteria In the mink, al
though when the bacterial count OF the
raw milk Is low the reduction may be
somewhat smaller. The efficiency of
the process, II Is pointed out. cannot
