SEALS SAVE HOME

As an officer Of the Anti Tuber-
culosis Association was gonig down
the street the, other day he was met
by little youngster, ten years old,
who appealed to him for some
bread and coal for his mother. In
vestigation brought to light the
fact that IA widow is living alone
with three children in one of the
city's poorer quarters, every mem
Der of the family having tuberculo-
sis. 1t appears that three years ago
the father contracted the disease
and was not given the proper care.
He soon died, but not before he
had infected his wife and children
with the dread ailment. Now the
family is in a pitiable condition.
There is still time, perhaps to save
them from their fathers fate, and
steps will be taken by the
Anti tuberculosis committee, which
directs the expenditure Of the Red
Cross Seals fund, to aid them.

RETURN TO MONTGOMERY

Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Scott and
daughter, who have been residing
in Rushville, Ind, for a number of
years, have returned to Mt. Sterling
and will make their future home
here. They have rented the Big
staff property on North Maysville
street until next spring when Mr..
Scott will actively engage in farm
ing. These excellent people say
Indiana is great country and its
people splendid but it cannot COM
pare to Old Kentucky. Mr.. Scott is
brother of Policeman Thomas
Scott, of this city, and before gong
to Indiana was one Of our most en-
ergetic citizens and popular with
all who knew him. Many warm
friends will welcome their return to
Kentucky.

CARE OF MILK CANS
Thorough Washing and Sterilization
a Necessity in the Production
of Clean Milk.

In justice to the farmer, milk
dealers should give considerable at
tention to the question of washing
the cans before they are returned.
If the cans are allowed to go back
unwashed to the farmer, it is a very
difficult task for him, with his linn
tied facilities, to clean them.
In circular letter recently sent
to milk dealers by the Dairy Divis-
ion of the Department of Agricul-
ture, it was pointed out that bac-
terial counts made from cans
which had been washed and rinsed
in the ordinary manner showed that
there were from 100000 to 1S,000,-
900 bacteria in each can, with an
average of 100000. If 10 gallons
of milk were put into one of these
cans there would be added more
than 100 bacteria to each cubic
centimeter of the milk. That is to
say, this is the least number that
would be added. Whereas, it was
pointed out, with a little steaming
these same cans could have been
rendered practically sterile.
One dealer who recently installed
a modern washing machine employ
ed a bacteriologist to test the re-
suits. 1t was found that less than
100000 bacteria were in can, and
among them were no undesirable
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-12-05

types. Bacterial counts of cans
treated by less efficient steaming
device which this dealer had form
erly employed ran as high as 20,-
000,0 900 bacteria to the can, includ-
ing some undesirable kinds.
There are number of different
types of cleaning machines on the
market. The aim of all the effic-
lent ones, however, is the thorough
cleansing with washing powder and
water, rinsing, sterilization with
steam, and rapid drying. After this
the can should be covered and kept
from contamination.
One of the simplest of the ma
chimes is a jet device, by means of
which sprays of cold and hot water
and of steam are successfully
forced into the can. This type also
rs equipped sometimes with a dry
ing. attachment by means of which
a draft of dry air is forced into
the can. Another type is the brush
machine, in which cans are brushed
out with washing powder and
water and then rinsed. After wash
ing they may be steamed by a
spray of steam. Some of the larg-
est machines are fitted with pow
erful pumps, the cans in an in
verified position being run through
the machine and sprays of soap
and water, rinse water, hot water,
and steam successfully forced into
them under considerable pressure.
They are then dried in the same
machine.
The drying of the cans is an i'm
portant factor, for it not only
leaves them in a much better condi-
ton, but it tends to prevent rust.
The cover also must not be neglect
ed. 1t is important that it be as
thoroughly ;cleansed and steriized
as the can itself. 1t is not a good
plan to put the cover on the can
until the latter is quite dry. In
the interval the can should be kept
in a clean place where there is no
dust or contamination
On the farm, cans, pals, and
other utensils may be sterilized

SUIT FOR ALIENATION

Suit has been fled in the Clark
Circuit Court at Winchester by T.
Herman Stages, formerly of this
county, for $4,000 damages against
his parents-in-law, Mr.. and Mns.
James E. Wade, of the wade's Mill
neighborhood, in Clark county,
charging alienation Of his wife's af-
fections. Stages says that in Aug
ust, 1911, he married Miss Russia
Wade, in Bourbon county. Shortly
after the wedding, according to the
petition, he moved with his wife to
Alberta, Canada, and there took up
about 3I4 acres of-land, under the
Canadian homesteaders' law.
In 1913, and about month he
fore the birth of their only child,
James Stages, the plaintiff, charges
that his wife came to Clark county
to visit her parents. He later came
to Kentucky to return with his wife
and the child, and then it was, he
claims, that his wife's parents per-
suaded her to remain with Them.
He returned to Canada, but con-
tinued to correspond with his wife,
until the summer of 1916, when he
returned to Kentucky, and learned
that his his wife had flied suit for di-
vorce against him.
Stages claims that it was neccs-
sary, under the homesteaders' law,
that he remain in Canada on his
claim for six months out of each
year for six years. He claims his
father-in-law and mother-in law
convinced his wife that by his alb
sence in Canada, he intended to
abandon her and the child, when
they know, according to the petit
ton, that such was not his inten-
ton. Being thus deprived of the
society, the comradeship, the love
and affection of his wife, the hus-
band claims to have been damaged
in the sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Stages is son of Mr.. w. I.
Stages, of Sideview, this county,
and many old friends here will |
learn of his matrimonial troubles
with regret.

II is gratifying to learn from real
estate men in different sections Of
the country that there is at last a
pronounced movement "back to the
farm" They report large numbers
Of city men Of moderate means pur-
chasing farms and moving their
families to them to escape the bur
dens Of the present high cost Of
living.
This. is commendable and all right
as far as it goes, but the movement
is not general enough And then il
is not owners that are needed on
the farms, but workers.
For several decades past now
there has been a rapid exodus from
the farm, until in many sections of
the country it is almost impossible
to secure farm help at any price.
This has had the inevitable result of
curtailing the output of the farms,
high prices naturally resulting.
We have seen a table of statistics
of the per cent. of urban population
as compared TO rural, at the present
time and fifty years ago. It showed
startling growth of the cities and
towns, with not nearly an equal
growth of rural population.
But, you say, those workers who
have deserted the farms for the
city are now engaged in manufac-
lures. Why, then. are not mann
featured articles cheaper in price
instead of being right up along side
of food stuffs.
The answer is simple, and will
have to be taken into consideration
in any scheme to lessen the cost of
living. The farm is the barometer
of the national life. Touch the
farm and you touch the national
pulse. 1t matters very little the
scarcity or plenty of manufactured
products, if the farm is over pro-
ductive the prices fall; if the farm
fails, all prices rise in sympathy.
We know this is not at all ac-
ceptable to the politician, who
would have us believe that party
policies are responsible = all of |
which is the veriest rot, as the !
American people are fast finding
out.
When we as people attack the /,
farm problem in a sensible way; |
when we devise some plan to re-
store to the farms of this country
the valuable human Drawn that
they have lost-then and not till |
then will we be in the way of re-
ducing the cost of living again to
The normal.
Perhaps the movement reported
S the beginning, and indicates that
The pendulum is at last started on
