tne C tnat 1t COSTS the producer more to insure sCrupulous cleanliness of the
supply than it does to place OF the market the usual mediocre product
or the dirty, dangerous milk that is offered under the worst conditions. The
attitude of the dairy division is that pure milk costs more but is decidedly
worth il, and the experts in their campaigns attempt to impress this truth on
three interested groups-the consumers, the producers and distributors and the
municipal and state authorities who have in charge the enforcement of the
local food regulations.
When the federal specialists go into a community to cooperate with the
local health officials they first make a thorough investigation of the milk supply
and its regulation, and finally locate the producers of the milk that is below
grade and visit their farms. The attitude toward these producers is not one
of condemnation. The experts go instead to their farms Ito help them to better
their sanitary conditions. They look to the health of the herds and their
attendants, the sanitary condition of the barns, the proper cleaning and stemI-
cation of all utensils and the methods for insunng a sufficiently low tempera-
tre for the milk. In the educational campaigns the responsibility of the
consumer in the matter of temperature also is emphasized. The specialists
point out that however carefully the producer and distributor has handled the
milk, itis likely to spoil if permitted to remain exposed to the sun o i a warm
room after delivery.

when the national house of Representatives debated the question of whether a
wife, is a part of a mans family. This is not a joke. 1t really happened. 1t
was while the Hay resolution was being discussed in a tumult which reminded
oldtfmers # a town meeting. This resolution provided money for dependent
families Of National Guardsmen. They stuck in the father and mother and
little brothers and sisters and the children, amid cheers at each addition.
In the midst of this wild clamor up rose a tall Kansas man and soIemnly
demanded that the word wife" be inserted then and there. He argued that
there were reasons for this; that certain volcanic actions OIL the part of cross
grained courts, presided over presumably by wOmanhatng bachelors or cow
ardy henpecked husbands, made it necessary that whenever the national
legislature is making laws for the benefit of the family, the word "wife" must
be written in with indelbe ink in capital letters, so as to prevent the woman
of the house from being robbed of her due.
Then he house batted the suggestion back and forth like a basket ball.
Some of them said the Kansas man was right and some of them said he was
wrong.

FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC
Aviators Confident That Such a Trip
Is an Event Of the Near
Futurs.

If the war has accomplished no other
useful end, it has advanced the prog
ress of aviation many years. In the
United States, without the spur Of mil
ltary and naval aeronautlcs, aviation
was regarded as a profession for cir
Gus performers, whose main duty was
to loop the loop" and provide thrills
for the crowd. Now, with aircraft
manufacturers turning out aeroplanes
at the rate of 10 a day, the public is
beginning to realize that 1t is a re-
markable healthy infant industry,
closely rivaling the unprecedented
growth of the automobile industry in
its early stages. One of the foremost
a%eronautical experts in the country re-
Gently said to the writer:
within one year after the signing

ule as regular as that of our TWEEN

WORKS OF ART FROM EUROPE
American Collectors Gathering a Vast
Number Of Them as a Result
of the War.

An authority on antiques and old
furniture estimates that within, the
last four months more than $6,000,000
worth of furniture and objects dart
have been sold by European owners
and dealers to Americans. And 1t is
expected that the process-a furniture
auction every week in London and
Paris for the benefit of American col
lectors-will go on through the re-
mainder of the war and after II, IN
doubtedly doubling this figure.
Pinched noblemen and others posses
sing old houses in Europe are clearing
them of their h%eirlooms, which Ameri-
cam are buying and transporting to
this land Of the free. Europe's extrem-
ity, in this regard, is Americas oppor-
nnity; and American houses, in city
and country, are filling up with beauti-
full old furniture, pictures and decora-
tons. In a sense, Europe is paying for
oombsheIls with old furniture, for the
gentry are heavily taxed to buy the
hells, and when the shells are paid
for the Americans, who sell them, put
the money, to this remarkable extent,
into furniture, fabrics and objects of
art. It is g curious process. Bomb
shells have no intrinsic value, no value
of use; they represent mere destruc-
ton. Nor does antique furniture
bought at a price far beyond its mere
value for the purpose of sitting
down upon possess intrinsic worth.
A chair for which 81 is paid may be
exactly as good for that purpose as a
rare Chippendale worth $1,000. So
the process is an exchange of luxuries
the luxury Of death for the luxury
Of refinement. But how vastly to the
advantage Of America It ls-that we,
in return for, say, $12,OO0,0OO worth"
of engines of destruction, which may
be razlng European towns to the
ground, should scatter through all our
homes of wealth the most beautiful
furniture that the world " pro-
duced.-BostOn Transcript.

U. TIGERS TAKE SECOND
CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 1909
Coach Schulte's Warriors Vic
tory Over Kansas Thanks
giving Day Gives State
Valley Title.

The Tigers of the University
of Missouri by defeating the
Kansas Jayhawkers 13 to 0 on
Thanksgiving Day took the foot
ball championship of the Mis-
souri, Valley for the second time
since it was annexed by Bill
Roper's eleven in 1909. The
team is one of the fastest which
has ever donned the old gold
and black of the State School,
and outpIayed the Kansans in
every period Of the game.
According to percentage, Mis-
souri, is tied with Nebraska but
Kansas defeated Nebraska and
the Tigers clean cut victory over
the Jayhawkers is the deciding
factor. Missouri with five reg
ulars out of the game was beat
en- by the Kansas Aggis z to g.,
but on account Of this, the defeat
cannot be counted against the
team.
Since 1909 Missouri has been
beaten by Kansas twice. AS
was the case this year,t the odds
are generally in favor Of the
heavier Kansans but the ability
of Coach Schulte's Missourian's
has continued to improve and
their spirit has proven far above
that of the team to the West.
Six M men played their last
game on Thanksgiving day:
Captain Lansing, Columbia /;
Preston, Lockwood; Rutledge,
Columbia Mcmillan, East St.
Louis; Wilder, St. Louis, and
Groves, Dover. Those who will
return next year are: McAnaw
Cameron, Hamilton, Harrison
vile; Giltner, Joplin; Pittam,
Kansas City; White, Upton
Stankkowski, st, Joseph; Rider,
Kansas City. The s~ophomores
Of this year had many men who
will make promising Varsity
material and this years fresh
man team is Missouri's strongest
in years. The 1917 Tigers should
be even better than the 1916 vic
torious team.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring
would you run to stop it or go
and help put out the fire? It is
much the same way with a
cough. A cough is a danger sig
nal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress
it than to stop a fire bell when it
is ringing, but should cure the
disease that causes the cough
ing. This can nearly always be
done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough remedy. Many have used
it with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1t is especially valuable
for the persistent cough that so
often follows a bad cold or an
attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medi-
cine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtainable
