MILK Cheaper
BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY THAT
THERE Is AT LEAST SOME
THING CHEAPER.

1t is announced today that begin
ming with the first Of April milk will
be cheaper. In these times of con-
stantly rising prices this one item
taking a slide sticks out of the ruck
like a sore thumb, and while the re-
duction is small and contributes lit
tie in saving on a whole months liv-
ing bill, ii should be marked on the
calendar as the beginning of the end
perhaps a preliminary to a gen.
eral decline in prices-perhaps. But
the system of cash delivery and other
influences have made cheaper milk
possible.
G. |. wilkinson today announced
that milk by the quart, beginning
with the first of next month, would
be 8 cents. Pint bottle quantities
will remain at 5 cents, for the reason
that the handling and bottling OF
small bottles costs as much as the
larger units. Cream will be 10 cents
the half pint, and whipping cream Is
cents the half pint. He showed
where in the east the rates of milk
is going down, and even adjacent TIC
large cities, the rates have declined
considerably at both wholesale ant
retail.
MI. Wilkinson has had to purchase
quantities of milk for the trade, hi'
diaries not yielding enough by far t.
furnish the depot. He insists hat al
milk be run through his pasteurizeI
and clarifier. This, he says, cost
him about 2 cents a quart-figure
out for yourself, as it requires mor'
than a ton of coal a week for the pur
pose. The higher cream line on thi
product comes in at times for crit
icism on the part of the careful
housewife. But, if she will stop Z,
think that milk treated in this wa.
never does yield the amount of cream
that the raw product does. she will
know at once that the cream whicl
she expects to be at the top OF tn
bottle will be found in the milk itself
as he guarantees tests to show. And
further, the milk is clarified and ha
nothing of sediment or dirt in 1t. L
view of the fact that the product /
thus treated one would hardly eS
! pect a reduction just at this time an
might even suspect the dealer OF eS
ecuting a flank movement for a raise

eager to learn the game. Safeguards
are thrown about them On the con-
tinent and in England-in the latter
place il is a law that a soldier must
carry his marriage certificate with
him if he has one, and must show it
on registering, as at a hotel or any
other place. Great confidence is
placed in them, and they rapidly
come to the view of the Prussian that
the continental soldier entertains,
and to accept the fight as m of cool
calculation and the strategy and me-
chanical superiority of him and his
English cousins. But they are there
to win, and nome have a doubt as to
the final outcome of their willingness
to fight the good fight.

Every king, premier and prominent
general Of the Allies have written TO
urge the necessity OF the work which
iB represented by these united agen-
Cics--nnt merely as fine service TO
the soldiers, but as an actual military
necessity, responsible to large de-
gree for tho maintenance OF morale.
The whole argument was summed
up In letter received In May from
Lieut. Col. r.. =. Wheeler, who. in
commenting on tho work OF one OF
these agencies, said In report to
General PeTshing: "Give me nine
men who have IA hut and / will have
more effective fighting force than
as though | had ten men without It,"
Nine men who are kept happy and
