troubles were in the United States.
Director Manning quotes figures to
show that this country had 100 homi-
cides per million Inhabitants, as COM
pared with 81 per million for Great
Britain. Germany, Italy, Russia and
Portugal.
If the present war measure regulat-
ing the manufacture, possession and
use of explosives and Ingredients au-
tomatically ceases to exist upon the
signing Of peace, declared Mr.. Man
ming, this country Will again be pro-
tected only In limited degree.

PURE MILK AT A FAIR PRICE
GOOD POLICY FOR PRODUCER
Farm Demonstration Agent for Prince
William County, Va, Gives Sound
Advice to Dairymen.

realize that this is q very dangerous
proceeding 1t is almost like walking
in no mans land" Now, IL milk Is as
good a thing as we know it to be, and
II It is made as clean as 1t ought to be,
will it not command fair price? 1
believe it will.
OF course. not every dairyman, even
If he has a license, will make good
profit at the price commanded by the
merits of pure milk. Neither does
every doctor. lawyer, merchant or
other business man make q pront
simply because he is in the business.
The good profit should come only to
the man W ho is capable and efficient.
If the efficient licensed dairymen in
sist on q price that is too high they
not only tend to cut down the con-
sumption Of milk. but they invite
more men to engage in the dairy
business, and that will bring out more
milk than will be consumed. and thus
end anyway.
The Washington market cannot be
monopolized by the nearby dairymen
If the price is too high. I know of
milk being shipped there from dis
tance of $50 miles from a licensed
dairy simply because the price is at
tractive. Too big a price simply in
vites disaster in two ways-curtailed d
consumption and overproduction.
The best way to make a market for
q thing is to give 1t real merit and
sell it at al attractive price. and II
your competitor cannot stand that
sort of treatment. of course he can re-
tire from the field. The dairymen must
stand together. however. and insist on
nothing going into the city that is not
clean and pure. because 1t seriously
injurees their business. directly and
indirectly. and is morally and legally
wrong.

EIGHT MORE PERSONS
ILL WITH SMALLPOX
Malady Is in Mild Form, But Vac
cination Is Urged on
Public.

Eight new cases Of smallpox were
reported to the health department
yesterday afternoon.
Six of the patients developed the
disease in quarantine station. where
they were being held as suspects. 1t
is believed their contact with the
public has not been sufficient to make
it likely that they have contributed to
the spread Of the disease.
The other two patients were found
in the southeast section of the city.
where the malady principally has ap-
peared.
Health officer Fowler, who has
taken personal charge OF the sitna-
tion. remained at the smallpox hos
pital, back of the jail, until a late
hour last night. There are now
patients in the hospital.
1t has facilities for fifty.
DR.. Fowler is not alarmed by the
increase in smallpox cases, all OF
which have been Of mild form. but is
insistent that all persons who have
not been successfully vaccinated with
in the past FIVE years take this pre-
cautionary step without delay.
DR.. Fowler believes that there Is
little danger of smallpox gaining q
foothold in the schools and Is hope
full that the department will have the
situation we'll in hand within q few
days.

No doubt one Of the most interest
ing subjects to the dairy farmers who
supply milk to the city of Washing
ton and also to the consumers of that
milk is its price, both to the farmer
and also to the consumer.
Milk is not luxury, but almost as
much necessity as any other one
article Of diet. The great mass of
fully educated to it's great value as q
food. Strictly clean milk from
healthy cows IL surely one of the
most nutritious as well as economical
foods on the market today. When the
consuming public has the same con-
that It has in the various standard
breakfast foods that are put up in at
tracttve cartons, or that it has in
the various proprietary soft drinks
sold universally. 1t will be a moro lib
eral user of milk.
interest that all milk offered for sale
should have and merit just such alb
solute confidence. No doubt the most
of the milk sold in Washington de-
serves implicit confidence in it's pur-
ity. but when stories Of milk from un-
licensed da1r1eS being op sale IN the
city reach the consumer he is in
clined to cut out milk. This does
great damage to both the producer
and the consumer of clean milk. The
licensed dairymen and the city health
department should work hand in
hand to keep every bit of milk out Of
the city that does not come from
licensed dairy farms. Nothing less
than this Is fair to the consumer or
to the clean dairyman.
Now a few words about the price.
