FIGUSE THAT MILK
CHICAGO MILLIONS

NF1lOAOO NIlLLlOINS
Health Comm'r Robertson today
figured that his stand in forcing the
milk dealers to abandon their plan to
raise the price of milk a cent quart
saved the city S3,6OO,OOO year.
eff we say 100000 quarts of milk
are sold in Chicago every day a diff
ference of a cent a quart means a
difference Of $4,000 a day in what
consumers would pay for milk, " said
Robertson. THAT is $3,600,000."
MiIkmen say Robertson is too
modest in his figuring. They say Chi
cago uses 1,75O,0OO quarts of milk
day and that Chicago consumers
would have paid $6,30O,000 a year
more for their milk if the dealers had
gotten by with their plan to boost
the price.
There should be a state board of
dairymen examiners" said Robert
son. Eve have a board of examiners
for undeFtakers to see that they prop
erly prepare bodies for burial, but
make no examination of the diaries
from which may come milk that will
kin our babies.
There is a wOeful waste in distrib-
uting milk. Wagons of a dozen diff
ferent milk companies fight for trade
on every street. This in the end
means an extra yearly cost of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars which
Chicago citizens have to pay. There
should be more cooperation and less
competition between milk dealers. -

has ever had" was Mayor Thomp-

LATE MILK NEWS
The Mokena plant of the Bowman
company was destroyed by fire last
night at loss Of $4,000. There is
nothing to indicate that the blaze
was incendiary in origin.
The milk strike is over. The Ira
J. Mix Co.-fourth largest milk deal
er in the city-is the only company
which has boosted it's price to 9 cents
quart,
Mix intimated today that the other
companies were all ready to boost
the price, but had been frightened
out of such action at the last minute.
He, with others, predicted that the
big companies would wait a few
months and then jump the price.
eve might as well do it now as wait
a month or two and then boost the
price when there will be a big yell
raised by the public. The others will
have to come to il"
The end of the strike came after
an a1-day conference between deal
ers and the Milk Producers assn in
Health Com'r Robertson's office.
Whey they first expressed willingness
to pay the rate demanded by the
farmers, the dealers said they would
raise the price a cent a quart to
recompense them for their loss. Rob.
ertson would not hear to this.
Bowman, the biggest of the hold
outs, signed with the farmers last
night. Borden will not sign until the
board of directors of the company.
located in New York, can ratify the
willingness of the company's local
officials to sign the scale.
The y. S. district attorneys office
is investigating to see if either the
dealers or producers assn violated
the Sherman antitrust law. p. ~

onifo and his Apache hOrdes who
terrorized the southwest.
One of Pershing's feats that
won commentator from Gen.
Miles, commander of the eXpedi-
ton, was that of marching his
forces with a pack train through
a mountainous country for 40
hours and bringing men and ami
mails back in good condition.
If Gen. Pershing missed any of
the hard fortunes of guerilla war
in the southwest he made up for
these when in 1889 he went to
the Philippines to quell the Nor
os. This was after brilliant
campaign in which he won spe-
cial honors at Ell Caney.
Pershing entered the Moro
campaign as a captain, though it
was almost unheard of in Ameri-
can military history for so i'm
portant a task to be assigned to
an officer of that rank.

dance, but they go through one of
the most breathless, strenuous 90
minute terpsichorean perform
ances ever seen in the west.
Needless to say, they are both
athletes. For not only does the
act demand a strong physique,
but it encourages one.
The La Vars have played
throughout the eastern circuits
and are making their first coast
trip. Their dancing is so fast and
furious that it causes spontaneous
applause during the middle of the
act-something always desired
but seldom achieved by vaudeville
performers.
1--WE are proving the value of
dancing as physical benefit
merely by the fact that the siren
uous work of our act keeps us in
perfect condition, and we need no
other exercise" said La Var.
Both my partner and myself are
always healthful. And the dance
causes it."

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who
would like to increase their
weight with 10 or 10 pounds of
healthy sta. there" fat should
try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note
results. Here is good test worth
trying. First weigh Yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sar-
gol-one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't ques-
ton of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think.
The scales and the tape measure
will tell their own story, and
many thin men and women we be-
lieve can easily add from five to
eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple di-
rection. And best of all, the new
flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make
fat, but mix ng with your food,
it aims to turn the fats, sugars
and starches of what you have
eaten, into rich, ripe fat produc-
ing nourishment for the tissues
and blood-prepare it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood
can readily accept. Much of this
nourishment now passes from
your body as waste. But Sargol
works to stop the waste and do
1t quickly and to make the fat
producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds OF
healthy flesh between your skin
and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas
ant, efficient and inexpensive.
Crown Drug Co., 1882 Pacific ave-
nue., and other leading druggists
in this vicinity sell It in large
boxes-forty tablets to a package
ON a guarantee of weight in
crease or money back as found in
| each large boz.

SERBIAN
PLIGHT
PITIFUL

ROME, March Serbia has
lost million of her 100000
population thus far in the war,
Prince Regent Alexander told the
United Press today. The remain
ing 100000 face starvation.
To save them the greatest
calamity in history, Alexander,
Prime Minister Pachitch and the
foreign minister began a tour OF
the allied capitols.
THE military loss is vast
~ less than our civil losses"
said Alexander.
During the first two Aus
trian invasions, practically
every civilian In the devastat-
ell districts was massacred
or carried into captivity.
Then came the typhus epi-
demic, taking more than
100,0UO others.
This was hardly overcome when
the Germans invaded last OCto-
Der. More than 100000 either
fell before the invaders or fled. y
Alexander realized that only by
keeping the army intact could
the country ever he redeemed
from the enemy. Therefore ev-
erything was abandoned during
the disastrous retreat to Albania.
Whole districts are dying from
hunger and disease.
