campaign has been started to
keep infantile paralysis out of Bruins
wick. Commissioner of Health Aber-
crombie has written a letter to all
agents of railroads entering this city
to report to the department the names
of all passengers coming from north,
ern cities under sixteen years of age
So far there have been no cases re-
ported here but in order to keep
Brunswick immune from such a
spreading epidemic it is proposed to
have officers to meet incoming trains
and thus to prevent anyone having the
disease from injecting Brunswick.
The following letter written by
Commissioner of Health T. F. Aber-
crombie, was sent yesterday to all
agents of railroads entering this city:
'In view of the fact that infantile
paralysis is more or less epidemic in
most of the northern cities. and es-
peci9lly in New York, | am writing to
ask your cooperation with the health
depa ctment by asking your conductors
to report to a policeman who will be
at each incoming train anyone com
ing in Brunswick from any of the
northern cities who are under sixteen
06) years of age. | am sorry to have
tic ask this but it is the only means
I have of obtaining information that
will help us to keep the dreaded dis
ease out of the city.
"Please let me hear from you at
the earliest possible moment so we
can begin a systematic check on all
who arrive from an infected area.
Respectfully,
"T. F. ABERCROMBIE,
Commissioner of Health"

came in such a manner that all eyes

The above dispatch from New York
caused considerable comment here

the first submarine arrived, that the
next one would probably come into

JUDICI0US SYSTEM
OF INTERCROPPING
Cultivated Orchard More Profit
able Than Neglected One
Filters Are Favored.

cultivated orchard Is more produc-
tive and consequently more profitable
than the average orchard which Is neg
lected or in which grass or hay is
grown.
''1n the young orchard a judicious
system OF intercropping may be prac-
ticed without causing injury to the
trees and at the same time profitable
crops will be produced in the waste
space between the rows" says II. s.
Merrill of the Kansas State AgricuI-
tural college. Sufficient space should
be left on each side of the tree to per-
NIT thorough cultivation of the tree
rows. AS general rule. the roots Of
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
of the limbs. A strip may be left pro-
portionnte In width to the spread of
the branches.
zone of the most familiar types OF
intercropping can be found In planting
filters between the permanent trees.
and often between the rows. The peach
or some type of early maturing apple
can be used for this purpose, but In
most cases the grower VIII not remove
the filters until they have attained such
size as to have interfered with the
permanent trees"

COVERED TOP MILK
PAIL RECOMM TENDED
Many Farmers Have Never
Thought Of Real Advantages
of That Kind.

By C. A. BURNS, Dairy Department.
Oklahoma A. and M. College. still
waterD
Those who are not accustomed to
using covered top milk pail have
probably never stopped to think of
what real advantage such a pail may
be In the production of clean milk.
BY covered top pail Is meant milk
pail so constructed that 1t has only IL
small opening In the top. the rest of
the top being covered with metal Of
which the pail is made.
The object Of such pail is that Of
preventing dirt and hair from falling
into the milk. AS the old saying goes,
"An ounce of prevention is worth u
pound of cure" This is surely one
place where the saying holds true.
Dirt and hair mean bacteria in the
milk, and bacteria cannot be strained
or filtered out. Bacteria are always
more or less injurious to the quality
of the milk and to all milk products.
This means lower price for the milk,
and eventually lower price for the
milk products. But this is not ALL
Dirty, bacteria-laden milk products
oftentimes are quite injurious to
health, and especially the health of
children.
OF course great deal depends upon
the mixer as to whether or not the
milk is clean or dirty. but under aver
BE conditions, other factors being
similar. covered milk pail with an
opening six inches in diameter stands
only one chance in four of catching a
hair or other foreign material that u
pail IL inches In diameter would In
other words. pail with a six-inch
diameter will catch only about one
fourth as much dirt and hair as pail
with 12-Inch diameter.
