until the number so is. registered on
long open dial on the front Now
the milk is tested and the per cent
of cream in it determined BY glanc-
ing at this number representing the
per cent, which will be on another
open space just below the number
just referred to, the number Of
pounds of butter fat in the cream will
be found registered just above the
per cent number.
Another table in the upper part Of
the instrument multiplies this num-
Der by the price and the total value
is computed in moments time.
The figures are for from 8 to 80
pounds of milk. Eighty pounds is
the weight of milk in the largest
milk can in general use today. The
per cent of cream numbers run from
10 to Sc and there is separate table
for computing the values for from
10 to SO cents.
Summing it all up, you turn the
lever until the number of pounds of
milk and cream you are buying is
registered; then the number repre-
senting the per cent of cream Is
located and right above it will be
found wha. is wanted, the number Of
pounds of butter fat. In the table
above, this amount is multiplied by
the prevailing price and the total
value figured out to be seen at a
glance even down to the tenths of a
pound
Time II Saves.
AS 1t is now, it is necessary to
multiply off hand the number Of
pounds of milk by the percentage of
he hor nf c
of butter fat and this in turn by the
value per pound. The operation
takes several minutes and is not en-
tirely accurate. In Mr.. Aultman's in
vention the figures are all computed
and arranged ready to be seen at a
glance.
Both Of the members of the firm
are now on the road introducing the
machine. and getting opinions OF
milk and cream dealers on it. At the
present time no selling plan has been
determined upon The machines
have been manufactured here for the
past thirty days and number have
already been sold. The material for
the box part is being sawed by Cart
er's mill and put together at the
place Of manufacture. The castings
are made in Quincy. The instrument
is stained a dark cherry. IT is pos
sible to make it in a number Of diff
ferent shapes.
The instrument was recently
shown to l.. Gabe, manager of Swift
& Co, here and he approved of 1t
and recommended that its use be
demon strated at the head office. 1t
is not the intention of the company
to dispose of the invention but to
work it itself.

has been one Of the evidences of the

lists claim that Mrs. Cats tour has
never been equalled by any other
woman on a stamping" campaign.
She will remain in Chicago until

vention in the effort to have a suf-1

Garbage is a mark and a product
Of civilization. Savages have no gar
bage disposal problem, for the SIM
pie reason that they don't produce
any. They leave nothing on their
plates but the bones and the hair,
And there are those who are unkind
enough to intimate that certain tastes
which are still found in civilized COM
munities, such as for tripe, for liver,
for haggis and blood sausage, are
survivals from the good old days
when every man was his own walk
ing garbage-destroyer.
However this may be, there is no
question that very considerable
share Of the staple food Of savage
and barbarous races would be thrown
into the garbage can by civilized man
with promptness and disgust. But
those gloriously simple--and short
lived and sickly-days are past be-
yond recall, and the more prosperous
and civilized community the more
garbage it produces.
Curious and incredible as it may
sound, 1t Is a fact that an American
community or city of, say, 5000 souls,
produces from three to FIVE times as
much garbage as a European town of
the same size. And this is actually
one Of the reasons why the problem
of garbage disposal is so difficult and
imperfectly met in the west.
At first sight this looks like sheer

waste and extravaganza, and to GER
tain extent it is, but there is another
aspect to the situation. And that is
that IL a piece of food is coarse and
indigestible, or of questionable fresh
ness and soundness, still more, i it
shows any sign of faint or spelling
or decay, then a garbage can is a
far more economic and profitable
place for it than a human stomach
1t is we'll to bear this in mind, be-
cause one OF the first things frequent
ly urged by those who are struggling
to solve the garbage problem is that
there should be greater economy, a
more careful and thrifty utilization OF
remnants and left-overs in the Amer
lean kitchen, so as to diminish the
enormous bulk of kitchen waste which
has to be dealt with.
Undoubtedly some improvement
could be obtained in this regard with
out endangering the great American
stomach, but the more carefully we
study the actual evolution and pedi-

Economy is excellent in its place,
but that Is, in buying rather than in

to the higher standards of purity,

The Return to dollar
Diplomacy"

The fine scorn with which the
Wilson administration, nitS eGrly
DAYS, dealt with what it was
pleased to cal dollar diploma
cy," and the precipitate haste
with which it withdrew the gOY-
ernment's approval from the
plan for the socalled "six-power
loan" to China have not been
forgotten.
The administration doubtless
wishes that forgetfulness might
now cloak the incident-because
the State department is now
breaking its neck in a frantic en-
deayor to resuscitate the syndi-
cate which had the matter in
charge and to put the loan thro'.
The moving impulse in this
change Of attitude on the part Of
the administration is the new
compact between Russia and Ja-
pan in relation to the future of
the Chinese nation "a compact
which has been drawn in such
terms as to leave the United
States on the outside of a closed
door which the diplomacy of
