DISEASE EPIDEMICs CAUSED BY
MILK
Milk Is Easily Contaminated After
Coming from COw-Competent
Inspection Important

Milk epidemics are an established
fact. Milk may be contaminated when
it comes from the COW, but in the
great majority of cases it is contain
mated after it is drawn, by sick per-
sons coming directly into contact
with the milk, or in water used for
cleansing the milk vessels.
1t is quite definitely established
that the following diseases may be
transmitted directly from the COW &c
the human: tuberculosis, foot-and
mouth disease, cowpox, milk-sickness
catarrh of the stomach and intcstines
enteritis, while anthrax rabies, acti-
nomycosis, putrid sore throat and
many other diseases are looked upor
as doubtful in being transmitted il
this way.
Most of the milk-born diseases arc
the result of contamination. The most
common are typhoid, diphtheria and
scarlet fever. Asiatic cholera, tuber
culosis, syphilis, erysipelas and many
others are placed in the doubtful elias!
or at least of very uncommon occur
ence.
The principal things to guart
against in connection with the con.
tamination of milk are typhoid fever

IMPORTANCE OF THE CHEMIST
IN THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Testing of Raw Materials, And of the
Finished Products, Together With
Research Work, Make Him
Vital Factor

Large consumers of raw material,
as well as of many manufactured COM
modities, now specify certain require
ments which their purchases must
meet. The bulk of such materials be-
ing supplied by contract, the seller
has to know, absolutely, the quality
of the material he is to furnish.
Chemical control is necessary at both
ends One may almost say that the
present development of certain phases
of industrial chemistry has been
brought about more by the contract
system than by any other single fac
tor. Everywhere one turns, one finds
that manufacturing processes demand
a certain amount of chemical over
sight Manufacturers find that guess
work and rule-of- thumb methods are
out of date. All sorts of materials
of known worth are analysed to de-
termine just what they are made of.
Experience shows that variations in
composition seriously affect the value
of many commodities. To secure uni
formity, to protect against fraud, and
finally to effect improvements are
among the chief objects sought by
the works chemists. With a labora-
tory once established, primarily for
chemical control of the works and its
products as well as for the testing
of the raw material it purchases, it
often follows that research projects
result in the development of new
methods, new products, reduction of
waste, and on the whole, important
economic changes affecting the whole
nation.-C. E. Vail, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.

CHAPTER VII.
The Gambling Room.

They confronted each other blankly.
To Mans confusion was added her en-
barrassment at her personal appear
ance. Her hat was wet, and the limp
shoulders of her khaki jacket and the
front of her silk blouse showed the
willing effect of the rain. In one hand
she clutched wet riding gloves. Her
cheeks. either from the cold rain or
mental stress, fairly burned, and her
eyes, which had seemed when he en-
countered her, fired with some resolve,
changed to an expression of dismay.
This was hardly for more than an
instant. Then her lips frightened, her
eyes dropped. and she took step to
one side to avoid De Spain and enter
the gambling room. He stepped in
front of her. She looked up, furious.
"What do you meant" she exclaimed
with indignation. Let me pass"
The sound of her voice restored his
selfpossesslon. He made no move to
get out of her way, indeed he rather
pointedly continued to obstruct her.
you've made a mistake, / think" he
said evenly.
81 have not" she replied with resent
ment. Let me pass"
81 think you have. You don't know
where you are going" he persisted, his
eyes bent uncompromisingly on hers.
She showed increasing irritation at
his attempt to exculpate her. II know
perfectly well where l am going" she
retorted with heat.
'aThen you know" he returned stead
lily, that you've no business to enter
such a place"
His opposition seemed only to anger
her. 81 know where l have business.

what places enter. You are imperd-
nent, insulting. Let me passp
His stubborn opposition showed no
signs of weakening before her resolve.
zone question" he said, ignoring her
angry words: Have you ever been in
these rooms before"
He thought she quailed the least bit
before his searching look. She even
hesitated as to what to say. But If her
eyes fell momentarIly 1t was only to
collect herself. yes" she answered,
looking up unflinchingly.
Her resOlute eyes supported her de-
faint word and openly challenged his
Interference, but he met her once more
quietly. 81 am sorry to hear It," he
rejoined. But that won't make any
difference. You can't go In tonight"
II will go IN" she cried.

not going ln-not. at least, while am
here"
They stood immovable. He tried to
reason her out of her determination
She resented every word he offered
You are most insolent," she exclaimed.

is no concern of yours. You have no
right to act In this outrageous way.
If you don't stand aside I'll call for

pecially among children. To prevent
these diseases, it seems to me, the
main thing is to preach milk hygiene
to provide competent dairy inspec-
ton, and more than all, as an i'm

there is active cooperation between
the doctors and the board of health,

tious disease, both at the diaries and
houses where milk is delivered, shall

saw that the bare pane had been cut,
just above the middle, by two bullet

fractures when De Spain and Lefever

the larger. 1t had been made by a
high-powered rifle; the second was

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Hog prices adj
vanced again today under good de-
mand and not over-abundant arrival.
Top advanced to $3.50
Receipts considerably lighter than a
week ago and a year ago were noted
again Wednesday at the principal wes-
tern markets. Eleven markets We'd
nesday received only $4,000 hogs being
$4,000 less than week ago. $4,000 less
than a year ago and $4,000 less than
two years ago. The Chicago total at
5000 was $500 less than week ago,
while Omaha with 1000 was 500
smaller. Kansas City had LOO less,
while ST. Louis was $500 less than
last Wednesday. Receipts for the first
three days of the week at these points
totaled lO7 900 head. or $4,000 less than
same days last week, $4,000 less than
a year ago and LOG. 900 less than same
days two years ago.
Cattle.
Cattle remained steady, the best
sorts being sought after.
Already Montana rangers have sold
I'D to S1375 for load lots, which STANDS
as a new record and compares with
81 90 last year, the highest ever known
previous to 1917 for grass cattle from
the range.
Prices are attractive and owners are
making considerable money, but 1t
looks as though prime offerings will go
much higher.
A guide for what is possible for load
lots in weeks to come is the paying OF
s14.o0 and $500 for few odd head al
ready this week.
Demand at Chicago is unusually good
for rangers and they: are getting the
preference over natives Of the same
class and, what is more, they will prob
ably continue to do SO the balance OF
the season.
This week will witness the largest
range run Of the season, and for the
year to date offerings are running
around 5000 ahead of the correspond
Ing time year ago.
A year ago very good class OF ami
mails was selling around $3.50 ana
when tops scared up around S1eoo
many in the Yards went out Of their
way to get look at them, for they
considered that price a big one.
Six outside markets had $4,000, WAd-
nesday. about the same as last
Wednesday, nearly 5000 more than two
weeks ago and over 1000 short OF a
year ago. Including Chicago. the seven
western markets the first half of this
week had $4,000 or $1,000 more than
same period last week and 1900 more
than corresponding time a year ago.
Sheep.
Sellers had no difficulty in dispos-
ing of sheep.
The run was largest Of the week
and compared favorably with week
ago, although a little lighter than
year ago. Three days run footed 49,
800, less than half as large as year
ago, but only a few thousand smaller
than last week. Seven markets had
a fairly good run, with 23,7o0 being re-
ported at Omaha

Thinks II IL Graft.

Time was when the ambitious young
man or woman who wanted a job in
this city armed himself or herself with
a wnd of recommendation from the
family minister and set out to triumph
over the trials and perils Of a great
city Or, at least. they did 1t that way
in books. says the New York Times
Now, however, they have apparently
found a more effective way. and one
which Is causing more than one manu-
fncturer or wholesaler in this city to
scratch his head and ponder over a
new form of graft" The scheme now
Is to come here armed with letters
from the largest buyers the honse town
or city affords, the latter generally
being willing to write them in the hope
Of capturing the family trade. Then
It is up to the victim In this city to
decide whether he wants to employ
someone he doesn't need or run the
risk Of losing an account. It is said
that quite few garment models are
getting their Jobs in this way.

message that President Wilson hal
some hope that the unrest In Germany
Will develop into revolution. not nee
essarily such an upheaval as sent the
car from the imperial palace, to ST.
IBERIA, but one that will make pos
sible to deal with the German people
instead Of military autocracy that i'm
posed the horror of war on the world
The men around Mr.. Wilson share no
such opinion. They believe that the
only way Germany can be brought into
concord with the rest Of the world il
by a military defeat SO decisive that
the hopelesshess OF fighting the world
longer will be obvious to the whole ma.
ton.
However. the president Is as likely
to be right as they are, and, IL he Is,

the more familiar form of bombs, u

Arsentina's Case.
There was a little indication that
Germany is coming to her senses in
the German concession to Argentina,
which agrees to PREPARATION for the
torpedoing Of the steamer Toro and
seems to promise that, hereafter, Ar
gentine vessels will not be subject to
the ruthless submarine program.
y The state department refuses to con-
slider this granting to the South Amer
jean republic what she went to war
with us for rather than accord as un-
duly sign ifcant.
Germany had promised us even
more than she now promises Ar
gentina, and when she was ready dis
regarded the promises and proceeded
to sink every American merchantmen
she could reach.
No Trust in Promises.
In the discussion Of this incident
the academic question came up:
Suppose Germany should make the
policy indicated in the case Of Argen-
tina her policy with the rest OF the
world, would that satisfy America and
cause our retirement from the war;"
The answer Of the secretary made
it very plain that we would not trust
Germany under her present govern
ment on submarine promise or any
other.
Despite our official incredibly, there
are those who think they see in the
Argentina episode an evidence Of re-
greet, tho. perhaps. not Of remorse, on
the part Of Germany, for the position
she took when the question was up
with the United States.
In other words. Germany now re-
