Automatic Cow" a Success

A machine that manufactures fresh
milk is the latest American contribu-
ton TO war inventions, and it has stood
a practical test at Nitro, it has just been
announced blythe managers Of the big
government powder town south OF
Charleston, W. Va.
This automatic COW" is the only
one OF its kind in the world and turns
out from 1900 to l,500 gallons OF fine
fresh milk each day, though there isn't a
bovine within ten miles Of the place
and not single quart Of milk is inn
ported. 1t supplies daily all the needs
Of the 10000 or more workers and their
families.
The government has officially desig-
mated il as reconstructed milk" and
its manufacture is an invention OF the
most recent sort. The plant has Ca
pacity Of Of 5000 gallons day.
Milk powder, distilled water and
fresh, unsalted butter are the elements
used in the reconstruction OF retored
or manufactured milk. Butter is re-
ceiyed in large quantities, and by the
reversing process again beSomes pure
sweet milk.
Milk powder, as the average layman
knows, is the dried solid matter from

of air tanning. Water is added to II
in correct portion to bring back the
proper degree Of consistency. But

ton by a stage Of high heat until il
becomes thoroughly assimilated. Then
follows a process Of heating and cool
ing and vice versa until the miIkis made
which possesses all the elements and
nutritive nature Of the very best dairy
milk.
From this milk more than $50 gallons
Of icecream is made at the plant each
day. The work is under the direction

take the following extracts from the

cement, and are grouped together In
lunches or villages. The houses. barns

Last week there we're so many deaths
from influenza in Baltimore that SUI
ficient graves could not be dug in the
cemeteries to allow the victims TO be
buried within a reasonable time. AZ
the coIored cemetery at Westport, a
suburb OF Baltimore, lis collins we're
stored up awaiting interment. Help
for the grave1diggers could not be OBJ
tanned, and the government was appeal
ed TO, whereupon a regiment OF colored
soldiers from Camp Meade was sent to
westport to dig the graves and bury
the bodies. Along in the early s..er-
noon ihe soldiers began TO get tired and
they slackened up in their work con-
siderably, despite the urging OF their
officers, who were white men. Fnaiiy
the officers remarked to the soldiers
@Vell. boys, it looks as though we viii
be here after dark completing this job.'
II was enough. The darkies rolled their
eyes at each other, as they thought Of
being in that graveyard at night time,
and then they grabbed their picks and
shoyels and made the dirt sy. Before
sunset every corpse had been buried
properly and the soldiers were on theii
way back to camp.

Hoer Mort Rudolph explained it as
follows:
;. "Yotir honor, this man was running

his arms and yelling at the top Of his

chief, at half-past one in the morning.
The people Of that district complained

The judge frowned at Rasmus, who
didn't seem to be particularly worried.
"What do you mean by such unbe-
coming conduct ?"his honor demanded.
Religion, jedge," was the response.
Religion! Are you a Holy Roller or
