The Dangers of Certified Milk.

Do not believe that you are perfectly
safe when using certified milk, says the
current issue of Farm and Fireside.
Although certified milk has been pro-
duced for twenty two years, its sales are
much less than one per cent of the
entire milk supply. The public seems
unwilling TO pay the extra price for Ger
titled milk, and scientists are now de-
claring that certified milk is not perfect
ly safe
Several milk-borne epidemics have
been traced to farms where certified or
inspected milk was produced, whereas
only one epidemic has been traced to
pasteurized milk, and that one was
shown clearly TO be caused by the use
of improper temperature.
"The certiiedmilk business thus
seems to have been shorn of financial
and even philanthropic attractions"

Market Was Sluggish
But Prices Firm

The trading marked time very large

market. Prices were firm for the most
part with particular strength in the
railroad department. There was no
great demand, however, but such as it
was the level of the market was raised
because of the scant offering of stocks.
Business conditions continue in good

KILL THE WEED
LIEN AMENDMENT

Editor Journal: AT the coming city
election voters are to adopt or reject
an amendment to the city charter al
lowing liens to be placed against their
property for what is called weed cut
ting. An ordinance is to be drafted if
this charter amendment is adopted
authorizing the city to have weeds cut
on vacant lots and on streets in front
of anyone's property and charge the
expense to the owner of the property,
and if not paid the charge becomes a
lien against the property, the same as
q mortgage or street or sewer assess
ment. There are already liens author
lied by law for all kinds of taxes and
improvements, including sidewalks, and
now weeds are to be made the basis
of another kind of lien,
There should be some way to get rid
of noxious weeds without putting a
cloud on real estate and authorizing
the city to sell it under marshal s sale.
There is state law against certain
kinds of weeds but it seems that is
not enough to suit the city officials.
SO the city council has initiated this
new proposition for another kind of an
incup'hlance on property, with costs of
Advertising and expense of getting up
and filing the lien. Several attempts
have been made in the past to put
over an ordinance for the same purpose
but they have been defeated and this
