The good people of every commu

is able to impose it's inquities un-
challenged upon the heads of mil
lions.
What the law fails to provide for
the common people the comon peo-
pie can provide for themselves only
through the quality and kind of en-
lightenment that will inspire individ-
ual action.
The matter before us is milk. A
knowledge of the facts will enable
consumers of milk to, recognize the
virtues of good milk dealers as we'll
as the vices of bad milk dealers.
1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that when the common peo-
pie show positive preference for
products known to be good, stunning
those which are either known to be
bad or in the doubtful class. volun-
tary reform regardless of the law,
will be instituted over night and the
bad will automatically be eliminated.
I have witnessed the operation of
this phenomenon so often in the
courts and out of the courts that for
years 1 have been forced to the con-
viction. constantly growing more pos

the good publicly.
In the case of milk the dealers
should be forced to publish monthly
the daily average bacteria count of
their supplies.
vice has been employed. notably Lex
ington. KY, the results were almost
miraculous
Following the publication of the
first report the milk dealer whose
milk is highly polluted with bacteria
loses his trade. The milk dealer
whose milk is comparatively free
from bacteria increases his trade.
During the second month the man
with the bad milk works day and
night in an effort to recover his lost
standing.
He visits the farmers who supply
him and uses plain speech in describ-
ing what has happened to his busi-
ness.
The following day the barns are
whitewashed, rotten and soggy floors
are ripped up, new stanchions are
erected, long standing manure piles
are removed, the fianks and udders
of the cows are washed, the pals and
cans are steamed, the hands of the
mixers are cleansed, screens are put
on the windows of the milkhouse,
proper icing methods are introduced,
the animal heat of the milk is with
drawn, prompt shipment is made.
When the milk reaches the dealer 1t

The fight now going on in the milk
industry is an unnatural fight. Such
weapons as those outlined here should
be used against il.
The facts about to follow, affecting
even the integrity of much so-called
certified milk, ought to do much to
bring about a public demand for milk
of such open and honest quality that
it needs no expensive legal or scien-
tific talent to keep it on the market.

Pennsylvania suffered loss of over
100000 acres of forest land by fire
during the spring forest fire season,
according to figures given out by the
Department of Forestry. to-day. The
total number of forest fires for the
whole State was sos and the resulting
loss in timber destroyed is estimated
at about $4,000. This compares very
favorably with the record made last
year. when the 4btal area burned over
was more than 100000 acres and the
total number of fires was LOO. The
fall fire season, however, is just open
ing and may add considerably to the
figures for 1916.
Blair county heads the list this year
with 1896 acres burned over. Lu-
zerne and Potter come next with 13, 500
and 1890 acres. respectively. Each
of these counties had single fire of

CHAPTER XXXvI.

Copyright 1916, Star Company.
At FIVE o'clock the following day
Agnes Morley closed her desk and
rose to go home. She was wondering
how her aunt was. Miss Morley had
been up and dressed when Agnes left
this morning, and Jennie O'Neill had
arrived and was in charge of the work
of the flat. Still the niece was an
xious.
She was surprised now when. to her
usual question, "Is there anything
more you want me to do, Mr.. Hale,
or may go?" her employer replied
please wait a minute"
She sat down again and watched the
man as he finished folding and putting
away some papers. Then he turned
TO her, his manner grave, yet less curt
than it had been of late.
II am going away tomorrow" he
announced. "I had expected to take
however. that 1 prefer to take a
couple of weeks now and several
others at various times during the
summer. I shall be absent for some
days.
"Mr. Bainbridge tells me that Miss
Durkee, his stenographer who has
been here for two years, needs a vaca-
ion. It has occurred to us that If she
goes away now you might take her
place during her absence and mine.
Can you do that?"
You mean" faltered Agnes. that
I am to go into Mr.. Bainbridge's Of
fee, or am I to take Miss Durkee's
place out in the large office?"
Neither. I mean that YOU are
to remain where you are-for there
must be responsible person in here
to sort my mail, answer telephone
MESA ges, etc. But Mr.. Bainbridge
will come to this office to give you
his dictation, and he will, as far as
possible. take my place for the next
just what you usually do for me. Do
you understand"
"Yes, sir
Then it's all right?"
Yes. sir" she replied. tits all
A NEW EMPLOYER
So she was to work for Hasbrook
cambridge for the next two weeks.
She did not know whether she was
glad or sorry. She was not sure lust
what sort of an employer he would
make. Probably as her boss" he
might be more severe and exacting
than he had seemed hitherto. He
would probably ignore his former talk
of friendship.
Again she rose to go. Good after
noon. Mr.. Hale" she said. 'I hope
you will have a pleasant vacation"
Thanks" he rejoined. Good af-
ternoon."
But when she reached the door he
spoke abruptly.
Miss Morley"
She stopped, her hand on the door
knob.
He looked at her, then glanced
away and spoke hurriedly, as If to
discharge quickly a disagreeabIe duty.
Before I, go I want to say that
you have done well so far. In many
way you are entirely satisfactory-in
fact, 1 may say that 1 find no fault
with your work" He paused.
Thank you," she murmured.

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most IL not all, of your dandruff will
be gone. and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of 1t, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. tt is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Advertiseme

THE SERVANT PROBLEN

Tho hardest problem most women
have to face is the keeping of servants.
IN the October Woman's Home Com
panion three women tell how they
have solved the mystery of retaining
help. One of them says:
Never destroy a vestige of Marys
good opinion of you by betraying any
ignorance as to how this or that is
done. If you have had no practical
experience in housework. obtain a
good book on domestic science, refer
to it before giving an order, and make
your instructions for carrying out the
order authoritatively precise.
Refuse to put yourself at the dis
advantage of ever speaking angrily to
servant. If an exasperating situation
arises. go to your room, think care
fully over the circumstances. study the
Offenders temperament, and when you
have decided upon your correction. de-
liver Ii dispassionately."

efforts have been made to have the fire
wardens take greater pains in deter
mining the causes of forest fires. AS
result the bills for extinguishing
twenty-seven of the fires have been
paid by those whose careiessness
caused them, eight prosecutions and
investigations have been ordered by
the Attorney Generals department and
twenty-seven cases are pending in
which the Attorney General will be
asked to bring action in case a settle
ment out of court cannot be effected.

ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN

A number of women are known to
be in Russian infantry regiments.
Women number one-fifth of the
factory workers in Pennsylvania
The italian Red Cross has over 40,-
600 women enrolled as nurses.
War marriages have been specially
abundant among British servants.
While mortality among women Is
lighter than among men, insurance
companies have found risks on the
lives of women Improbable and write
policies on their lives for limited
amounts only.
In Lombardy, Italy,t women have
raised great number of rabbits on
their lands in order to supply furs
for the soldiers.

r. H. Howell
County Clerk.

Drafts feel best when we are
hot and perspiring, just when
they are most dangerous and the
result is Neuralgia, Stiff Neck,
Sore Muscles or sometimes an
attack of Rheumatism. In such
cases apply Sloan's Liniment.
II stimulates circulation to the
sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain
leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Head
ache will find one or two appli-
cations of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The agon-
izing pain gives way to tlngling
sensation of. comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep
is possible. Good for Neuritis
too. Price 25c. at your Drug,
