The Alamo Industries of San Antonio, fomerly the San Antonio Brewing asso- eiation, is spending s50o,OoO in equipping its large plant here for the manufacture of dairy products. says San Antonio special the Manufacturers Record. It is stated that the machinery in every detail is not only the most modern to be had, but in capacity is the largest manufac- tured in the world
 Already the Alamo Industries are in op- eration, using the products from ap- proximately 1000 dairy cows. The firm took over the dairy product company and the dairy business of w. w. Johnston several weeks ago.
 An idea of the magnitude of the dairy ' industry in San Antonio and surrounding country may be gained through the study of figures and facts which have been given out by the heads of three leading manufacturing plants here. A summary of the volume of products brought to San Antonio by the producers has been made by men who have for years been in close touch with the industry.
 It is conservatively figured that an Antonios milk supply is 10,0O0 gallons day. All the year around the average number of cows that contribute to this supply is 10000,
 The capacity of the Alamo Industries plant for handling Pasteurized milk will be 15,0oo gallons a day. The present sup ply will not meet this capacity, but with the educational campaign to increase the production. supply ceases to be problem in the minds of men who are behind the Alabmo Industries. Milk purchased in this quantity at this one plant alone will bring $6oOO day to the producers. or total of s2,190000 a year at the present price The maximum capacity for cream for both butter and ice cream products at the new plant will be 40O0 gallons for each F hours Cream is now selling at s1 a gallon or more. Capacity produc- tion would bring a total of $4000 day for that product, or $1, 460,000 a year.
 About one-half of the floor space for stories in the main building of the Ala mo Industries is being converted into a dairy products factory. The business will be both wholesale and retail. The prin- cipal products will be ice cream. Pasteur- .ized milk butter and cottage cheese The big Pasteurizing vats alone will have a capacity of 1000 pounds of milk an hour, Milk, according to J. H. Sasseen of Co., Iumbus, O., who is to superintend the manufacturing of these products, will av craze about eight pounds to the gallon, making a total capacity of 15o0 gallons an hour.
 There will be six cream freezers, with

The bench terrace is usually built
with the reversible hillside pillow by
Which the soil is always thrown down

Of years until the bench becomes level
or the slope Of the bench Is slightly
reversed. A ridge of earth is kept at
the outer edge Of the bench to prevent
the surface water from running from
one bench to the mex bench below.
Bench terraces should be level: that

direction of their length. Before the
bench between the terrace embank-
n.ents is made level by blowing the
soil down the slope the surface wa
ter is held above the shoulder at
the outer side of the bench. Part OF
the water may move off slowly to the
ends Of the terrace and the rest will
either sink into the soil or evaporate.

Dentists Should

Of Them Declares
DR.. Levy Tells Women Ply

ference They Are Mostly
Only NJ etal Workers

Dentists should be abolished. This
is the opinion, not merely of the small
boy with the toothachc but Of one mem
Der of the dental fraternity He is Dr.
Joseph NJ. Levy, Who spoke yesterday
morning before the international Con-
vention of Women Physicians at the
Young Women's Christian Association.
Dentistry, he believed, should be made
a branch of the medical profession, to
"Most dentists are Jewellers. or metal
workers." he said. "Thc dentist falls
down gricvously in his duties regard
ing Infection Ascepsis is frequently
discussed but seldom practised 4
dentists instruments are USUALLY
boiled, his hands are ordinarily clean;
further than this he seems to fee
little responsibility.
There is rage going on all over
this country for extracting teeth.
More teeth are being needlessly ex-
tlacted today than are receiving any
other attention. Any tooth which is
questioned is summarily extracted and
its owner is deprived Of his normal ap-
paratus with no cause.
In answer to what to expect of the
GENITAL profession | urge you to expect
nothing. 1t is the fault Of the train
ing in our dental colleges, where the
emphasis is placed on turning out
skilled artisans and asepsis is seldom
practsed. There are very few dental
colleges in the United States worthy
of respect, because so per cent of the
dental colleges are privately owned and
run for private profit"
Dr.. Levy then attacked the dental
colleges of New York in detail, and
said they should be investigated.
Colonel Weston p. Chamberlain, of
the medical corps Of the United States
Army, spoke in the afternoon on the
health lessons of the war He divided
them into eight groups as follows: In
