USE SIMPLE RULE
Farmers Should Be Careful to
Keep Milk Clean.
Strained Milk Sours More
Quickly, Says X. s. A. C.

Manhattan, Kan. July rs. Milk
which is strained may become sour
more readily than unstrained milk,
according to o. w. Hunter, assistant
professor of bacteriology at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
'Straining does not enhance the
keeping qualities of milk" asserts Mr.
Hunter. 1T removes the larger par
ticles of filth. but in the process it
breaks up the small clumps of bac-
terra, thereby facilitating bacterial
growth and increasing the danger of
souring.
THE acid which is a product of the
growth of certain kinds of bacteria is
produced more readily when the bac-
terra are scattered than when they
are in masses. The ordinary wire
distributes h m throughout the
milk"
The strainer has been used to re-
move visible dirt, explained Mr.. Hunt
er, but it is the invisible particles
which do the most harm to milk The
production of milk entirely free from
bacteria is not possible on the average
dairy farm.
Rules Are Simple.
THE rules which a dairyman needs
to follow are few" said Mr. Hunter
He should provide clean surround
ings. Milking before rather than af-
ter feeding lessons the danger of con-
tamination from the dust of the hay.
Washing the tanks and udder of each
cow prevents hair and dust from fall
ing into the pail. The use of a small
topped pail cuts the bacterial count
down to a great extent
Milk should be cooled Immediately
in screened, sanitary milk room.
The process of souring is delayed
twice as long in milk cooled fmme-
diately and kept cooled as in milk al
lowed to stand at the ordinary room
temperature.
The dairyman who follows these
rules has no need for straining his
milk. If he should prefer to, however.

or wire - should be sterilized each

Best Rainmaker in Congress Is
Needed Badly Now.
ALMOST AN UNCANNY ABILITY
Farmers Believe a DoOlittle

Chance of a Lifetime for q Man
Who Wants Votes.

Call for Rainmaker Doolittle.
That is the cry that has come from
several Fourth district towns during
the last week. A press dispatch from
Washington today states Doolittle has
received several urgent calls for
speeches in his district All because
he won and defended a reputation as
a rainmaker in the campaign of two
years ago.
Doolittle's record for producing
rain in 1914 was almost beyond be-
lief But the weather records in the
towns he visited showed he delivered
the needed moisture in a half dozen
communities. Now there is a demand
for his hasty return to Kansas wheth-
er congress adjourns or not. The mere
presence or absence of one congress-
man is not of vital concern in Wash
ington at this time. But if Doolittle
can make good his record of two years
ago and deliver rain following his
speeches, then he is a real asset and
an established institution in his dis
trict.
A Weather Prophet.
1t was following tilt on the plat
form in 1914 that Doolittle told Il
Coffey county crowd he would speak
but few minutes in reply to a man
who had preceded him. Then Doo-
little explained that rain was more to
be desired than a political speech.
There wasn't a cloud in the skies and
when DooIittle predicted a soaker be-
fore the meeting closed, the crowd
hooted. Twenty minutes later, a heavy
thunder shower drove the crowd to
cover and the Fourth district con-
gresham was heralded as a weather
prophet.
Two weeks later, during a protract-
ed drouth. Doolittle spoke at a Lyon
county picnic. He predicted rain be-
fore the close of the day. His predic-
ton came true. On other occasions ne
promised rain following a speech and
so far as tie available record shows
he batted 1000 during the entire sea
son.
Drouth in Fourth.
Now there is drouth in the Fourth
district. The county needs rain and
the farmers have forgotten the wheat
harvest and two bumper crops of al
falfa in the fear and dread which
concerns. the corn crop. In several
localities the farmers have recalled
Congressman Doolittle's almost un-
canny ability to produce rain-or at
least to make good his predictions
during the campaign of 1914. So a
call has gone to Washington for Doc

claimed by military men, the border
army will be equal to that OF any
other army of its size on earth. The
guardsmen then will be permitted to
return to their homes, and the gov
eminent will feel comfortable over
the fact that it has 100000 trained
soldiers ready to repel or attack an
armed foe in a few hours notice.
That is the secret of the border
campaign, as 1 got it from Washing
ton politicians in position to know.
While somewhat undetermined on the
part of the trainers, and rather rough
on a small minority of the countrys
citizenship, the scheme perhaps was
the best that could have been devised
for the purpose sought to be accom-
plished.

to refrain from occasionally dealing
from the bottom of the deck when it
finds itself on the losing side of the
game.
Never since the Civil war has there
been so fine an opportunity for mill

period is up, the people of the United
States will have reason to feel proud
of its army nucleus.
Repel First Invasion.
In event of a real war with Japan,
or with one or more of the vfctors in
the European conflict possibility
remote, but one which is in every
body's mind-the United States will
have an army sufficient to take care
of the first invasion, while trained Of

Military men and politicians IN
Washington, 1 learned, are impressed
with the protest of guardsmen to the
effect that the new army program
forces a comparatively small per cent
of the citizenship to carry the burden,
while the vast majority is relieved of
all responsibility. except the payment
of SO cents a day per soldier, and
keep. 1t is admitted that the present
arrangement is unfair, and that the
burden will have to be shifted a bit,
else the military establishment will be
faced by danger of Generalization be-
cause of the general dissatisfaction on
the part of the guard victims.
Care of Families.

public generally in the movement to
take up a collection for this purpose.
are greater obstacles in the path of
national guard development than the
sand, wind, alka1i water and taran-
tulas with which the soldiers contend
in their border service. The fact that
there are dependent families of the
country's defenders in absolute want
has made a national scandal which
will not down-which ought not to
down, till the wrong is righted by the
government paying its soldiers a living
wage.
About two-thirds of the men 1 in
terviewed in Washington thought mo-
bilization on the border would prevent
war; the others thought mobiliza ton
would cause it"

Tan, Red or FreckIed
Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer soiled skin of its
muddiness. freckles, blotches or tan. the
best thing to do is to free yourself of the
skin itself. This is easily accomplished by
the use of ordinary mereolized wax, which
can be had at any drugstore. Use at night
as you use cold cream. washing it off in
the morning. Immediately the offending
surface skin begins to come off in fine
powder-like particles. Gradually the entire
cuticle is absorbed, without pain in
convenience. The second layer of skin
now in evidence presents a spotless white
ness and sparkling beauty obtainable in no
other way.
If the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle
your skin. there's an effective and harm
less remedy you can readily make at
olite dissolve in half pint witch hazel
and battle your face in the liquid This at
once tightens the skin and smooths out
the lines. making you look years younger

FIND NEW HORSE DISEASE.
Animals in Wichita Hospital Showed
Symptoms of PARALYSIS

Wichita, Kan, July 25.-A horse,
afflicted with a mysterious disease, the
symptoms of which were almost ident-
ical with those of the dread infantile
paralysis. died in the barn lot of Dr.
U. A. Marney's animal hospital, on
North Main street. An hour later Il
large bulldog, which had been in the
lot with the horse, succumbed sud-
denly from the same strange disease.
Doctor Marney, who is considered
one of the high class veterinarians in
Kansas, was unable to explain the two
deaths. And while he agreed that the
case diagnosed symptoms that corre-
spond in almost every detail with in
fantile paralysis he declared that he
did not consider that the scourge of
the human race could be infected in
the animal kingdom. Both the ami
mails had been ill for some time, but
were believed improving, the doctor
said, when at noon yesterday the horse
became violently seized with a sort OF
