Germs Pressed to Death.

The Nebraska State Journal Oh
serves one of the most interesting of
recent developments in the dairy in
dustry is the announcement that germs
may be killed by pressure. This leads
to the belief that the old method of
pasteurizing milk by heat, which has
been found Objectionable in some re-
spectS, may be supplanted. 1t is
claimed for the pressure system that
the delicate fermeEts or engines in
milk are not destroyed and that no
changes are made in the taste or gen
eral condition. The pressure is APP
plied by means of a hydraulic pump.
II is possible to apply as high a pres
sure as 100000 pounds to the square
inch. A pressure of $4,000 pounds to
tbe square inch for Is minutes has
been found to kill many bacteria. High
or pressure can be supplied when the
germs are extraordinarily stubborn. In
general. It is believed that pressure
of 10000 pounds for 20 minutes will
serve every practical purpose. This
material is found in a statement re-
gently issued by the American Chem
ical society. Coming from such a
source il will be accepted as authori'
tative as well as interesting.

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure Of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return of the disease.

The army worm feeds by pref
