AMONG The
BACHELORS

Since the state went dry a bach
elor has much more chance to have
his proposal of marriage accepted
than before, and a woman takes less
risk in proposing. She doesn't have
to take the risk of the fellow turn
ing out to be a drunkard, and she
doesn't take so much risk of raising
boys who will be addicted to the
habit, because of the lack of oppor-
tunity and the unpopularity Of drink
ing. Last Sunday dozen autos were
in collision, and some Of the acct
dents were so unaccountable that the
drivers actions were attributed to
drink. This angered people for If a
man drinks he is a criminal because
of the act, saying nothing of possible
careless driving or exceeding the
speed limit.
When the country was wet we
used to write up wedding and tell
what worthy young man the groom
was and how popular the bride, and
then within year we might see the
bride standing on the street corner
on Saturday afternoon waiting for
the worthy groom to come out Of the
saloon and 60 home with her. She
might stand there until sunset or
later. and the longer she stayed, the
less popular she thought she was.
She might even question the veracity
Of the editor who said he was one Of
the worthy young men of the COM
munity. OF, course, such statements
are generally made out of politeness,
hoping the persons will spruce up
and be what the editor and the COM
munity represented them to be. But
to get back again to the young wo.
man on the sidewalk waiting, thb
experienced eye can detect such \
case, even in front Of or near a biz
hard hall or cigar store. 1t happens
yet sometimes, tho she generally
tries to hide the fact. Notice for
your self in the afternoon when it
is time for the farmers to be driv-
ing home. The lady stands near the
curb with an eye on the fellows COM
ing out of the billiard house. She
pretends to be looking up the street,
but she is watching the front door
too, and killing time anxiously. She
wishes her brother would come along
so she can get him to go in and
bring her husband out or tell him
what popular woman there is wait
ing for him on the curb. She doesn't
like to ask anybody else to go in for
him and she can't go herself without
it being talked about. If some man
comes along in whom she has con-
fidence, somebody she thinks appre-
ciates the situation and will do what

Buttermilk and Bacteria.

The popularity of buttermilk as food
and beverage is attested by its wide
spread sale. Any drink which can sue
coed in invading the precincts Of the
saloon and compete for sale, az butter
milk now does, side by side with alec.
holio beverages deserves attention. The
plan Of allowing milk to undergo fer
mentation of such character that the
products are not unpleasant or lmwhole-
some for human consumption, yet serve
as preservation to prevent undesirable
types of decomposition is not new. The
fermentation product chiefly depended
on in such cases is Tactic acid, although
in. certain types, alcoholic fermentation
may also be in evidence. Buttermilk be-
longs to the acid type; it usually con-
tains 0,6 to 90 per cent of acid. Strictly.
speaking, buttermilk is a by-product OF
butter making; but with the develop
ment of the milk industries, the demand
for buttermilk has frequently been met
by fermenting the skim or separator
milk which remains az by-produet Of
the cream trade The fermented prod.

may be indistinguishabl from the lat
ter in composition and properties. The
use of these fermented milk products
has been favored, not alone for their
food value, but also for ac-
cessory reasons. The specific fermenta-
ton products have been reputed to have
q tonic" action in the digestive tract.
Special virtues have been attributed to
the Tactic acid bacteria, particularly in
relation to putrefaetive changes In the
alimentary tract. Aside from any al 4
eyed therapeutic virtues there can be 7
10 doubt OF the nutrient value of the
beverages. With the growing attention
devoted to the bacteria which milk may
larbor, and the recognition Of the dam
gers which they may entail, it is not

Sulphuric Acid in 1915.

| The sulphuric acid industry in 1911
presented both remarkable and norma
features. In spite of the abnormal de-
mand great deal of srlphuric acid was
consumed in the factories where it was
made. The trade in strong acids was
much more active on account of the de-
mand for explosives and other war muni-
tions, but this demand came only after
the first quarters of. the year and was
very strong. only during the last six
months. Before that time some acid
plants were shut down.
The estimated production of sulphuric
acid of so degrees, 60 degrees and 20 de-
grees strength in 1915 is 100000 tons,
expressed in terms OF so degrees acid.
In addition there was production Of
nearly 10000 tons of Tuning acid ano
oleum. This is an increase of 6I4 per
cent in the three common grades, but
the production OF Tuning acid and ole
um more than doubled. These figures
include by-produet acid produced at cop
per and zinc smeltes amounting to
925,000 short tons of go degrees. Com.
pared with the production of 1914, this
is an increase Of rs per cent, or 10000
tons.
The price per ton of the stronger
grades of acid, especially 90 degrees, sc
degrees, and oleum during the last part
Of the year ranged far above those OF
1914, and the total value of the output
will therefore be in excess of what it
was in that year.
The estimates are based on returns
TO the United States geological survey,
compiled by W. c. Phalen, from 95 per
sent of the producers, and estimates Of
the remaining. five per cent 1t is be-
ieyed that the figures are conservative
md that they viii be increased when
complete returns are received.

Growing Truth.

An argument is usually tug-of-war.
and tug-ofwar does not bring people
together, yet we are often deceived
into thinking that We can bring the
other man over to our side by arguing
with him. Even when an argument
does convince it is not usually the best
way of convincing. IT is so much bet
ter to suggest to people than to argue
with them. If you have convinced a
person he is trying to remember what
you have said. But If you drop seed
in his mind 1t viii quietly work in
him. Growing truth is more effective
than driven truth.
