SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF MILK
That of Cream Will Necessarily Vary
With Amount of Butterfat Pres
ent, Says Expert.

A correspondent wants to know the
specific gravity Of whole milk, skim
milk and cream. DR.. Charles X. Fran
els of the experiment station depart
ment of chemistry at Oklahoma A. and
M. college answers as follows:
The specific gravity Of whole milk
at 60 degrees Fahrenheit varies from
1.027 to 1.O35, and skim milk per
cent solids 1.036. The specific grav-
ity of cream will necessarily vary with
the amount of butterfat present. A
10 per cent cream will have specific
gravity of 1924. If it contains 20 per
cent, the specific gravity will be 1.0094,
and for 80 per cent it will be 09974.

DAIRY NOTES
Never add warm cream to the cool.

Never add warm cream to the cool.
Keep the separator and its surround
ings clean.
More silos mean more stock-and
more fertile soil.
In caring for milk, cleanliness and
cold are two great essentials.
Low temperature and cleanliness
are two factors that largely control
quality in cream.
1t isn't alone the amount Of product
COW gives but also the cost of pro-
ducing 1t, that determines the value.
Dairy farming may well include the
raising of dairy stock, hogs and poul-
try in connection with the marketing
of butterfat.
Wash water used in the churn should
be approximately the same tempera-
ture as the buttermilk, or within two
degrees of it.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CHILD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh phySiC into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "lnsides' are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomOr-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. ADV.

Rome.-Three italian torpedo boats
have succeeded in breaking the boom
at Pola, the best defined and most
fortified naval harbor in the world.
They spent two hours exploring the
harbor a few hundreds of yards from
the forts and came out safely after
they had accomplished their most diff
ficult and delicate mission, when nu-
merous powerful searchlights vainly
illuminated sky and sea and the bat

vessel, but it was ascertained that
both remained entangled In the nets
protecting the ship and as they failed
to strike a hard substance their
charges were not ignited and the tor
pedoes did not explode.
Saved by Nets
Had the torpedoes exploded the
Italian warships would not have been
able to come out Of Pola and probably
would have been lost. In fact, they
owed their safety to the nonexplosion
Of the torpedoes.
Three Italian torpedo boats left port
on the evening Of November 1, and
toward midnight they were off Pola.
Shortly after midnight the warships
were near the entrance of the Fasana

LARoR UNION vs.. SALOON.

| LADOn ONtON w. ONEOONs
From an address by Rev. Father
James e. Cassidy of Fall River, Mass. !:
"Unionism, as 1 conceive it, stands
for brotherly help. Saloonism stands
for brotherly robbery. Unionism stands
for self-prOtection. Saloonism stands
for self-destruction. Unionism stands
for self and brotherly benefit. Saloon
ism stands for self and brotherly in
jury. Unionism stands for conserva-
tion of strength and increase of wage.
Saloonism stands for the dissipation
and diminution of both. Unionism
stands for the full dinner pail Saloon
ism stands for a pocketful Of beer
checks. Unionism stands for better
homes and the highest standard of
workmanship. SaloOnism stands for
wretched homes and ruined workman
ship. Well you know it, better than
do |, you whose homes it has made des-
olate, whose wives and daughters it
has devoured, whose sons and fathers
it has consumed, whose little ones 1t
has fed upon. You know what the
saloon stands for. You know it stands
for the fattening Of the few while the
lany perish and die. But you will say
to me: If the saloon be such deadly
enemy of labor, why does not uniOnism
fight it? And answer, sane, skilled,
disinterested, farsighted unionism has
always fought it and the more skilled
the members, the more deadly the con-
flict. And organized labor is slowly
shutting off its wind and will eventual

channel, closed by means of iron
chains steel cables, enormous beams
and nets extending across the mouth
of the channel as a protection against
submarines. The barrier is formidable
and its removal seems impossible. A
patrol boat is mOored alongside the
boom. The men on board are supposed
to be on watch; instead, they are
asleep.
Two out of the three torpedo boats
silently approached the barrier and
their crews got to work In less than
twenty minutes the boom was low
cred sufficiently to allow their passage.
One of the torpedo boats entered the
harbor of Pola and came out after two
hours. There was absolutely no sign
of life inside the port and few lights
were to be seen on shore. The Aus
TRANS relied so much on their mine
fields, barriers and batteries that they
were quite convinced an attack was
impossible either by day or by night,
and they slept soundly without watch
ing.
Results Not Known.
The results of the torpedo boats ex-
plOration inside Pola are Of course not
known. Undoubtedly they must have
been very valuable, judging by the fact
that no attempt was made to torpedo
any of the enemy ships before two
hours, and 1t is to be presumed that

Arrests Are Made Almost Daily
and Some Diplomats Are
Expelled.
ARE KEPT ON THE GO
Of 425 Espionage Cases In Last Six
Months $50 Were Austro- German
Government Is Very
Strict.

Berne, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
Swiss law in general and a special or
dinance of the federal council dated
August 4, 1914, in particular, espionage
Is prohibited. No foreigner Is allowed
to organize, favor or carry out esplon-
age on behalf of any belligerent power
since the outbreak of the war and quite
recently counter espionage has also
been forbidden.
Spies, male and female, generally
Germans, are arrested almost every
day in Switzerland, and most Of them
are tried and convicted. In some cases,
however, no trial follows the arrest Of
spy, and this happens whenever the
spy can prove by documentary evidence
that he Is a diplomat, generally a con-
sular officer or commercial agent, a
duly accredited military attache or an
army officer.
In such cases the Swiss police in
variably accompany the spy to the from
tier and there let him loose, and after
his repatriation an official announce
ment is made to the effect that he has
been recalled home by his government.
Ordinary spies are instead tried and
sentenced to a term of Imprisonment
and heavy fine. They are moreover,
expelled from Switzerland, after serv-
ing their sentence, of course, and
threatened with immediate arrest If
they come back.
Espionage Flourishes.
AS a rule spies of Swiss nationality
are more severely punished than for
eigners, as Switzerland is determined
on absolute neutrality, but all the same
espionage flourishes everywhere to
such a great extent that practically all
the foreigners in Switzerland, neutrals
or belligerents, are spies or dabhle In
espionage or counter espionage.
Comparisons are odious, but 1t is a
fact that out of 425 cases of espionage
brought before the Swiss courts during
the last six months $50 dealt with Aus
tro-German spies or with people who
were working for the central empires,
and the charges in these latter cases
were not of espionage, pure and simple,
namely, the securing of information
about the enemy, but of a criminal ma
ture, such as attempts against life and
property, arson, blowing up Of railroads
and factories and such like. AustrO-
German spies are, after all, nothing
else but ordinary criminals.
1t must be admitted that the Swiss
police have a very difficult task In ]
Austro-German spies who, as
a rule, are very clever and invariably
have good accomplices. For instance,
who would have suspected that a most

all this time was not lost. Besides, had
not dawn been so near the torpedo boat
would have surely prolonged her ex-
plOration inside POla. 1t was about
five O'Clock in the morning when the
two torpedoes were fired against the
Austrian battleship In the Fasana
channel, almost simultaneously and at
very close range. They both got en-
tangled in the nets protecting the ship.
Evidently three nets protected the
ship, because two were cut, but the
third prevented the torpedoes from
striking the hull, and their propellers
kept going outside the water with a
loud noise resembling that made by the
propellers of an airplane.
In fact, the AustFians on board the
battleshlp, as well as those on board
other ships and on shore, mistOok the
noise and took it for granted that Pola
had been attacked by hostile air craft.
The alarm was raised at once with the
rapidity Of lightning. Searchlights
were put on and illuminated the sky,
while all the guns of the aerial defense
on the hills and on the islands, as well
as all those on the ships and of the
shore batteries opened fire simultane-
ously, wildly and inefiiciently.
The Italian torpedo boat headed
for the barrier. The Austrians
in the patrol boat watching the en-
trance of the channel, who were not
quite awake, assumed that she was
one of their torpedo boats going out to
sea in search of the Italian airplanes
that were raiding Pola.
