AS a result Of final action taken
Saturday evening at a meeting of the
Augusta local of the New England
Mill Producers Association, Capital
City householders must pay 10 cents
per quart for milk instead Of nine
cents, which has been the prevailing
price. simultaneously the members OF
the association voted to increase the
Wholesale price from eight to nine
cents. The price of cream was ad-
vanced to 50 cents a quart at whole
sale and so cents at retail. The change
will go into effect on Aug. l.
II was also voted that a minimum
Wholesale price OF s. per gallon be es-
tablished While it seemed to be the
unanimous belief of those present at
tho meeting that the present high cost
Of production makes the one cent in
crease on the milk price necessary If
their business is to yield a fair profit.
q few expressed fear that price cutting
might ensue and that those entering
the agreement would thus be at 4 dis
advantage. 1t was generally agreed
however. that the scarcity of supply
would make underselling out of the
question.
Live Stock Sanitary Commissioner
Poyden Bearce was present at the
meeting to urge upon any who had not
done so that they have their herds
subjected to the tuberculin test, which.
he reminded them, the State will give

DAY OF MOURNING
IIsha be'Ab Observed by Augusta He.
breWs and All Others

One of the most impressive days of the
Jewish calendar is the day of fasting
and mourning called Tisha be'Ab, which
was ushered in Sunday night with the
setting of the sun. This day is different
from many other days of great spiritual
and religious significance in that ii is
also of national Significance and that is
where its importance lies 1t is the day
that marks the loss of the Jewish ma
tional independence. Since that day the
Jews all over the world at all times never
ceased to mourn and bemoan the irrep-
arabic loss. And it is due solely to this
that the Jews did not lose their national
integrity during all these centuries Of
wandering and intense suffering.
Tisha be'Ab is in commemoration Of
the destruction Of Jerusalem and the
Temple by the Chaldeans in $50 B. G.
and by the Romans in 20 Sunday night.
after the evening prayer, found the Jews
OF Augusta and all over the world in
mourning and chanting plants written
especially for that purpose.

MAKE YOURSELF STRONGER

People with strong constitutions
escape many minor ills that make life
miserable for others. Don't you envy
the friend who does not know what a
headache Is, whose digestion is perfect
and sleep undisturbed?
How far do you come from this des-
cription and have you ever made an
earnest effort to strengthen your con-
stitution, to build up your system to
ward off disease and discomfort?
Everyone cannot have perfect health
but unless you have an organic disease
it is generally possible to improve your
physical condition by attention to the
rules of health, the first of which is to
keep the blood built up. tt
