for the father of family than 7-cent
milk
But there is another reason why
clean, high-class milk at its higher
price is a more economical food than
dirty, low-grade stuff, and that is the
difference in bacterial content. High
grade, high-priced milk has only from
10000 to 10000 bacteria to the tea
spoonful, which sounds enough in all
conscience, but low-priced milk often
has from 10000 to 100000 bacteria
to the tcaspoonful Those swarming
millions OF bugs have not come down
from the heavens above, nor grown up
on a diet OF air. Every thousand OF
them represents so much of the nour
ishing elements of milk, fat, caselin,
albumen, milk sugar, turned into bugs,
and as the bugs themselves are neither
nutritious nor digestible, milion-bug
milk has lost at least fifth, il not a
third, OF its nutritive value You can't
have both bugs and nourishment in
milk at the same time; you must take
your choice between them.
So that any citizen VINO is hygienic-
ally enlightened and considers him
self intelligent should not rest salts
fed with grade B milk, but insist
upon buying grade A at its 2 cents
higher price, because it is the best
Investment from a food point of view,
and, if he has young children in his
family, worth ten times the additional
cost. If two-tlhrds or even one-third
of the public would start in buying on
that principle, it wouldn't be very long
before all the milk in the market
would be grade A.
Incidentally, it may be remarked
that it is not only the uniformed in
dividual private citizen who is guilty
of this short-sightcd and costly penu-
riousncss in the matter of milk, but

Such very busy time as we are
having this weekend! 1t all began
Wednesday when Mrs. Nellie L. Nc
Chung came to talk to us, and we have
been busting from one thing to an
other ever since. Thanksgiving with
its family dinner parties and its foot
ball games is over. That, perhaps, is
post Thanksgiving cause for thankful
ness. This evening the first Of the
Junior club dances for the season will
be given at the Fontenelle. Dancing
will follow numerous informal dinner
parties at the hotel and in the homes.
Supper will be served in the small
ballroom.
This initial party is merely an open
ing wedge for the big Christmas party,
l am told, when elaborate decorations
and detailed preparations are made.
Following the Christmas party there
will be two other parties, either at
the Fontenelle or at the Blackstone,
given by the club.
Tomorrow is another busy day on
the society woman's calendar. In the
morning Mrs. Anthony French Mer-
rill, who arrived today, will address
an audience in the ballroom of the
Blackstone. The hour of the lecture
was set for 10 o'clock in order to
allow plenty OF time for luncheon be-
fore the big card party given by the
members OF the anco-Belgian Re-
lief society for the benefit of their
fund. Til card party represents the
elimination Of an endless amount Of
work on the part of Mrs. John A.
McShane, president, and her commit
tees and promises to be remarkable
success.

WE HAVE A DUTY.

United States Ambassador Henry
Morgenthaq in an interview in New
York a few days ago, gave as one of
his main reasons for his Resignation
as ambassador to Turkey his great
desire to make known to the people
of the United States some of the con-
ditions in the Turkish empire, es-
pecially as they affect the long suf-
fering Armenians. Referring to the
tragic suffering of these people and
of the need of immediate help to
save thousands of men, women and
children from death by starvation,
Mr.. Morgenthau said it is difficult
for him to discuss the subject, which
appeals so strongly to his sympa-
thies, because his resignation as am
bassador has not been definitely ac-
cepted; but speaking in guarded
way he made the following state
ment: .

Uncle Toms Cabin, and wept at the
way the negroes were sold into slay-

an and her lover; but all of these
things are nothing compared to what

many narrowing pictures and it will

details but l will say that / have

the stories that have reached the
United States are founded on facts.
''The, Armenians were living just
as quietly and peacefully as posi- bic,
in friendship and close contact with
their Turkish associates, when sud

ported. 1t was then that my heart
bled for them. / had been given the
privilege Of dispensing charity with

charge. Suddenly, without avail

the terrific problem of the destitute

Some of the leading democrats OF
the country are talking Of abrogating
the. two-thirds rule which has pre-
vailed in democratic national con-
ventions the past seventy-five years
Had that rule been abolished years
ago, as it should have been, Champ
Clark would probably now be presi-
dent of the United States, as he had
a clear majority for the nomination
at the Baltimore convention, but
was defeated by this foolish rule. At
the st. Louis convention this year
there will be no contest and the con-
vention can overthrow the two
thirds rule without doing violence to
any aspirant for presidential honors.
This being the situation the convcn-
tion ought to do it. 1t is not demo-
cratic to require a candidate to get
two-thirds of the vote of a conven-
ton. However, there is little likeli-
hood that the convention will over

OBEY THE LAW,

According to Washington dis
patches the German government has
protested against German citizens III
the United States transgressing the
laws of this country. Berlin wants
it distinctly understood that the
German government does not en-
dorse conspiracies to wreck munition
plants or to do other acts of. violence
in the hope Of aiding Germany in the
war. Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, has
issued the following official state,
ment:
"In consequence OF cases which
have occurred of late, the German
ambassador has sent Instructions to
all German consuls in the United
States to strongly impress upon Ger
man citizens living in their districts
that it is their duty to obey the laws
of the states in which they reside
The press reports state that it was
said at the German embassy that the
instructions were designed to pre-
vent Mots or lawlessness on the part
OF German citizens. The German
government, it was said, looks with
great disfavor upon any such con-
duct.
1t was made clear that Berlin Of
ficials want the United States and
it's people to understand that they
have not countenanced any illegal
affairs with which German citizens
or sympathizers in this country have
been connected.
In this connection it might be
said that the German government
has never protested to the govern
ment of the United States, directly
or indirectly, against the sale OF
munitions of war to the allies. Ger
mans in Germany and the United
States have protested, but the Ger
man government has not uttered a
word against it. Berlin realizes
that the sale of munitions of war is
Legitimate and legal and that all ma
lions have SO recognized for more
than century. Germany sells nun
itions whenever she can and has
bought munitions in the United
States since the war broke out.
The Freeman-Tribune is glad that
Germany has issued instructions to
its consuis in this country of the
tenor and effect cited above. These
instructions show that the German
is annoyed and hamper
ed by the conduct of its supposed
friends in the United States who do

ates the impression and the suspic-
ion that the German government
may be willing to profit by such
methods.
1t is noted that Germany has not
thought that it was necessary to warn
American citizens of German descent
against these excuses, believing, of
course, that all American citizens
are loyal to the interests of this
country, no matter from whence
they came. This is the right view.
too. The naturalized American citi-
zens who came from Germany have
proven upon innumcrahle occasions
that they are loyal to their adopted
country and the Freeman-Tribune
believes they will do it again when
ever the occasion presents itself,
True, there, are a few Germans in
the United States, now naturalized
citizens of this country, who would
be loyal to. the fatherland in the
|event of war between Germany and
the United States, but the great ma
jority of them would stand by the
fortunes and fight for the interests
of their adopted country.
