Tt will be seen from this that if she normally uses as much butter as we do, her shortage would be 10.7 per cent. However, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland have about 326,0OO,000 pounds to export annual ly, while Austria Hungary has sur plus of 100000 pounds. In normal times England takes three-fifths of the worlds surplus of butter; in 1912, out of S,0OO,0O0 pounds moving in international commerce, the United Kingdom took 435, 100000 pounds
 There are no world statistics of the production of cheese, except of that part moving in international trade. The United States annually produces about four pounds per capi- ta. The total amount imported by all the countries of the world is 531 ,000,- 900 pounds, of which the United King dom takes 25o,0o0,000, Germany 47,- 00O,000 and Austria Hungary 13,OO0,- 900.

natives drink the milk of camels and donlxeys; in western Asia there are wandering Tartar tribes who live largely on mares milk. In many countries the goat is the poor mans COW, while sheep milk is widely used in the manufacture of cheese in Eu- rope.
 "In recent years Russia has built up a large dairy industry in Siberia, and before the war great express trains, sweeping across two continents, car rv nothing but dairy products, were a striking object-lesson of the world s cravins for butter and cheese. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese use comparatively little milk, their coun- tries being too populous to admit Of the keeping of many cows.
 Little Denmark leads all the coun- tries of the world in the eXportation of dairy products, and Danish butter is known wherever good living is en- ioyed Danish dairymen have been imported to all parts of the temperate world to teach the secrets of high class dairying.
 "The volume of butter which is nor mal times reaches the channels of in ternationa1 trade amounts to 72S,O0O,- 900 pounds, which is less than half of the butter production of the united States alone. The per capita consunlp- tion of butter in the United States is about seventeen pounds On the same basis, Germany would consume 1,139,- 100000 pounds In 1913 that coun- try imported 122.00O,0O0 pounds more than 1t exported.

 T never knew him to do a dishon- est act, It may be that he will be the next first citizen of this land, and as a representative of the old Bay State, despite my loyalty to my own pary, I would never hang my head If Sam Mccall were President of the United States 4*a Coming from a man of the opposi- ton this sentiment resulted in what is described in the newspaper reports as "a ripple that broke into roar of applause Republicans and Demo- crats joined in the grand ovation that was accorded the mention of Governor MeCalPs name in this instance, and if the enthusiasm manifested on the floor of the House of Representatives can be taken as a criterion, "Jirno Gallivan is not the only man in the House, or in the nation, who would be f proud to take off his hat to the Mas sachusetts man. Men like the Cover nor of Massachusetts, men who can command the respect of even their political opponents, are few and far between. When they are accorded such honor then it is but proper that the nation take notice.

frequent inspections of the butcher shops would quickly detect the pres ence of unstamped meat. Governm ent abbatoirs are old established institE- tions abroad, practically every com munity has one. The state and fed eral thorities are urging the estab- fishing of municipal abbatoirs in this country. Why? Authorities state that twenty to thirty five per cent of all dairy cows in New England are tuberculous. Assuming that no least offs'' are brought up for slaughtering (though we have sufficient evidence to the contrary Is it not the duty of the board of health to recommend and urge a means of proper inspection of animals, at an estimate annual cost Of $1,4OO, in order to eliminate the tu- berculous meat? While there is an income to offset this expense it should not be considered when the welfare of the public is the real issue.
 As stated above, the board of health makes this reply to Taxpayer in hopes that those who read his cOmmunica- ton may read this. There is sufficient data on the subject on file in the office of the health departm ent which is avaiIa ble to anyone interested in the matter. Further public communica- tions on this matter will not be forth coming from this office.

setts and Ohio to Send Full Regi-
ments to Border.

New York, June 20.-Fifteen thou
sand or more troops of the New York
National Guard began to assemble in
! their armories throughout the state in
response to the presidents call. As
rapidly as the commands can be
brought together and equipped they
will proceed to the state mobilization
camp at Beekman, n. Y, 10 miles
southeast of Poughkeepsie, to be
mustered into the United States serv-
ice. Their mobilization is expected to
be complete within three days.
Major General Organ said it would
not be necessary to apply to the mill
tia the new military act passed by
congress requiring a dual oath, one
oath to serve the nation and the
other to defend the state, as the New
York men already have taken such
oaths.
Mayor Mitchell ordered all his de-
partment heads to grant leaves of alb
sence with pay to all city employees
who as members of the state militia
respond to the presidents call.
Philadelphia, June 20.-Nearly 49,
600 National GuardSmen We're being
modified in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Delaware for border duty in
accordance with the call of the war
department
Virtually the entire guard of the
three states was included in the call.
Boston, June 20.-Members of the
Massachusetts National Guard assem-
bled at their armOras throughout the
state in preparation for service on the
Mexican border. The militia sum
mons was sounded on fire alarms in
cities where there are armories.
Columbus, o., June 20.-Mobiliza-
ton orders were sent out by Adjt.
Gen. Benson w. Hough of the Ohio
National Guard in accordance with
orders received from the war depart
ment following President Wilson's call
upon the militiamen Of every state for

per Arlington, five miles northwest of

Sea Girt, y. j., June 20.-New Jersey

EMPLOYERS TO PAY TROOPS
ders' Positions Open Until
They Return.

Chicago, June 20.-Chicago militia
men are no more patriotic than their
employers. When the former march
away with colors flying it will be with
all the good wishes and encouragement
of their "boSses" and with the comfort
ing assurance that their positions will
be here for them when they get back.
That was pretty effectively settled
when large employers in many lines
stated their positions in this connec-
ton with emphasis. Some announced
that their men would receive full sal
AIRY while away; others that to the
amount paid by Uncle Sam would be
added enough to make up their usual
salary. one employer invited any of
his men who might care to enlist to
do so ut once with the full assurance
that they would be cared for and if
married that their families would be
looked after in their absence.
