SOUR MILK IN
WARM WEATHER.
DR.. NJ. P. Ravenel of the Univer-
sity of Missouri Advises It's
Use in Summer.

Use in Summer.
Many people have a prejudice
against sour milk. Neverthe-
less, during the past few years
it has come into great popular
ity in the United States. This
has been largely due to the in
fuence Of Professor Metchni-
koff of the Pasteur Institute in
Paris, whose death was recently
announced, says DR.. M. P. Raw
enel Of the department of pre-
tentative medicine of the Uni
versity of Missouri.
Metchnikoff made many
studies on the prolongation of
life, and came to the conclusion
that one great cause of death
was decomposition of food in the
intestinal tract and absorption
of the poisonous products. 1t is
a shown fact that many nations
of the world, especially of West
ern Asia and Eastern Europe,
look upon sour milk as an essen
tial part of their daily diet.
Among the Bulgarians, who use
sour milk h%abitually, an unusual
number of very old people is
found. Metchnikoff 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
in the intestinal tract could be
driven out and replaced by those
given.
Tablets containing the acid
forming germ of sour milk dried
in some inert medium are for
sale on the market, and have
achieved a great success. They
are used now by physicians
largely in the treatment of in
testinal disorders in infants.
Sour milk, whether butter
milk, SKINNED milk or whole
milk, has much to recommend it.
1t is a nutritious and wholesome
diet for any time of the year,
but is especially good during the
months. 1t often pro-
duces markedly food effects in
old people who suffer from intes-
final indigestion.

Postal Savings Grow.
Total Deposits Now Are Nearing
500. 100000 Mark.

The results of Postmaster
General Burleson's administra-
ton of the Postal Savings Sys-
TEN have been phenomenal. In
der his guidance the number of
depositors has increased from
$4,000 at the beginning of
March, 1918, to 100000 at the
end of June, 1916, while the
amount deposited has increased
during the same period from
$30,000,0 900 to $50, 000, 900. The
gain of nearly so per cent. In
the per capita Deposits cOnvinc-
ing evidence of the prosperity
of the working people of this
country, who are the principal
patrons of the postal savings
banks.
Notwithstanding the large in
crease in deposits the clerical
force for handling the affairs of
the system at the central Office
in Washington, through the in
stallation of better business
methods, has been reduced by
third. Moreover, the system as
a whole has been brought to a
self-sustaining basis and for the
past three years has yielded a
substantial profit.
Postmaster General Burleson
also urged upon Congress the
necessity of removing the him
dering restrictions imposed by
the original postal savings act
of June %, 1901, on the amount
that may be accepted from a pos
tai savings depOsitor. In re-
spouse to his recommendation an
act was passed and received the
approval Of President Wilson on
May, Is, 1916, which enables
any person to deposit any num-
Der of dollars, and at any time,
until the balance to his or her
credit amounts to $1,000, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest.
BY the terms of the original pos
tai savings act no one could de-
post more than 500 in any one
calendar month, nor have a bal
ance to his credit in excess of
$500, exclusive of accumulated
interest. AS a result Of these
restrictions it has been estimat-
ed that as much money was re-
fused at the post offices as was
accepted. The removal Of the
hindering restrictions has been
followed by an immediate and
pronounced increase in postal
savings deposits, which will ul-

HOW TO PREVENT
HAY FEVER
Destruction of Weeds and Vac
cinatiOn Against tn Disease.
The Remedy.

There are few diseases which
cause more discomfort and rea.
suffering than that known as
hay fever, hay asthma or rose
cold" says DR.. NJ. P. Ravene.
of the department of preventa.
tive medicine at the University
of Missouri. Doctor Ravene.
says the symptoms come on with
sneezing and watering of the
eyes, resembling in many ways
the symptoms of an acute cold
though it is much more pro-
longed and the degree more in
tense. Often times it is accom-
panied by asthma.
1t has been the most difficult
of all diseases to prevent and
cure, and 1t IS only recently that
the cause Of it has been found.
1t has now been definitely prov
ed that hay fever is due to the
pollens of various plants. The
most common of these are prob
ably golden rod, timothy grass,
and rag weed. The albuminous
portion of the pollen produces
the disease. Some people are sus-
ceptible to various pollens and
some are not, as they have
either become immunized or else
they have not the peculiar, SEN
sitiveness to the albuminous con-
stituents of the pollen. The dis
ease is periodical, coming on
each year, almost on the same
day.
Researches have made pos
sible the discovery of a vaccine
for the prevention of the dis
ease which is quite successful.
Much relief can be given by this
treatment and in the majority
of cases the attack can be ward
ed off. Vaccines are now on the
market usually put up in little
tubes containing the full dose
with directions for injection UNI
der the skin. 1t is best to begin
the treatment six or eight weeks
in advance of the time of the ex-
pected attack. By the use of
the vaccines, one is made i'm
mune to the pollens of the var
.ious plants.
1t is likewise essential in the
prevention of hay fever, that all
grass and weeds be kept down as
much as possible.

ROck Road Bonds to be Burned

ANOSh AeOdu DOHuS 10 De burned.
On next Monday the road
bonds of the Wellington and
Napoleon Special Road District
will be destroyed in public in
the streets of Wellington. It
was promised before the bond
election that should Kansas
City fail to meet the require
ments of their definite promise
to furnish funds for the addi-
tlonal cost of rocking the Santa
Fe trail after the district had
voted its limit, the bonds would
be burned in public and thus re-
.lieve the taxpayer of a burden.
Some $4,000 bonds were voted
by a five to one majority and the
bonds were printed. About S25,
900 Of the bonds were sold to Sc
cure funds with which to build
briggs and culverts that were
destroyed by floods. The money
is being spent for this purpose
and not a penny on the rock road
proper for the reason that the
Kansas City people fell down
and the commissioners refuse ia
dispose of more bonds.
The bonds that have not beer
sold will be given a public bur.
ial by fire on the streets of Well.

those who opposed the issue in

of Kansas City who made Sc
many promises will smell the

for the news to mention the

promises, but our citizens have
them on the list and it is to be

PASTURES AND STOCK

PASTURES AND STOCK
Pastures, especially where over
stocked earlier in the season,
have failed rapidly. On the
other hand, where pastures have
been properly cared for and not
grazed to excess, grass is still
supplying much good feed. Con-
dition, for the state, is 63.2,
being highest in the Northwest
and lowest in the Southwest Sec
ton. From sections where
drouth has been most severe
come reports of cows failing in
milk production. In these sec
lions, too, brood sows, habitat
hogs and cattle are being market
ed, but there is no scare and
farmers generally are holding on
to their stock, which is below
normal in numbers.
OTHER CROPS-The Mis-
souri, apple crop has dropped to
43.4, while the peach crop is
only about 10 per cent. Condi-
ton of broomcorn is 81; flax IA;

Flagstaff Paving.

After considerable delay and
many legal entangIements our
neighboring town Of Flagstaff
has started to pave the streets
in the business portion of the
town. If Winslow can never
lead in the matter Of internal i'm
provements it ought at least get
up energy enough to follow. The
trouble with our city is that a
goodly portion Of the business
frontage is owned by non-resid-
ents, and the only interest they
have in the town is to keep a
tenant in the buildings and col
lect the rent as long as the build
ing will stand up without ex-
pending a dollar for improve
ments, and as a result we have
a score or more of old shacks all
over the business section that
are a disgrace to the town, and
the sidewalks and curbing is in
the same general diIapidated con-
dition. We trust when the new
council take their office they will
at once take up the matter Of
paving in the business section
and establish uniform grade
and line for the sidewalks.

and friends of the w. C. T. u.
gathered for the annual social at
which the honorary members of
the union entertain. An inter
esting program was rendered,
after which the gentlemen serv-
ed ice cream and cake, and

particular feature helped to make
it a very enjoyable evening for
the ladies.
A very enjoyable affair was
the informal dance given at the
Maccabee hall Saturday evening
by Misses Frances Parks, Lois
Wilson, Theresa Monroe and
Mrs. M'delI Welsh. There were
about twenty-five couple present.
After several hours of dancing
The young people had lunch at

it was one Of the most pleasant
affairs Of the season.
One of the most enjoyable
afternoons of the season was
spent at the home of Mrs. Ray
Lancaster Saturday. 1t was
given in remembrance of child
hood days, the guests all being
dressed in children's costumes
and the afternoon was spent in
childish games. Even the dainty

Elks' Week.

The week of Aug. 7-13 will 90
down in history as an epoch
marker for WinsIow, if the com
mittee having charge of the ar
rangements retain their health
and vigor. The latest attraction
they have in view is an aviator
to give series of flights during
the week. The committee hav-
ing charge of the musical pro-
gram have already engaged
three bands to enliven the days,
and a musical comedy company
will hold the boards at night. A
canvas city of a score of tents
will be raised on Front street at
the foot of WinsloW avenue, and
every tent will contain some
show attraction. During the
week a Baby Grand" Chever-
liot automobile will be given
away, also jar full of money.
The car is now on exhibition at
the Old Trails Garage.
At the committee meeting held
Monday evening, R. G. Bazell
was elected general manager and
director in charge, and from now
until the big show closes he will
give his undivided personal at
tention to whipping everything
in shape for a successful season.
It was found that while COM
mittees were active in originat-
ing plans for entertainment, it
was necessary to have man
ager to work out and handle all
the details, and they got the
right man in Mr.. Bazell, who is
an enthusiast in the cause, and
has had the experience really
necessary to make an affair of
this kind successful.
