LEGAL BATTLE LOOMS

Efforts of milk producers in States
other than Maryland and Virginia
To test the authority of the local
health department as to the quail
ity of milk shipped into Wash
ington are expected to take the form
of a direct challenge to the depart
ment within the next week. DR..
william {. Fowler. District health
officer. expressed that opinion last
night.
1t is practically certain that tu-
berculin test for cattle will bel Op-
posed by these producers.
This test for some time has been
a thorn in the side of New York
and Pennsylvania producers. and of
other States. At present the milk
supplied to the District comes eX-
clusively from Maryland and Vir-
Einia, where farmers comply with
the health orders.
DR.. Fowler expects to receive ap-
plICatiOns for permits to ship milk
here from outside producers who
purposely will ignore the clause
requiring the tUberCulin test.
DR.. Fowler said that no milk COM
ing from untested herds will come
into the District if it is in the
power OF the department to pre-
vent it.
should the producers find their
applications rejected. their next
step will be to bring the matter
into court. where the disputed au-
thOrity Of the health department in
regard to the tuberculin test finally
will be settled.
Il intend to stand firm under any
said DR.. Fowler. IF
I lose, it will be only after a fight"

FORT LEE NOTES.
LADIES' AID SOCIETY
OF BETHANY CHAPEL
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

On Tuesday evening the Ladies' Aid
of the Bethany Chapel met in the
church parlors for the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year. This was
the main business of the evening, but
close second was the reception ten
dered afterward to Mrs. GOebel, pres
ident, and Mrs. Eckel, vice president.
These two ladies have worked hard
and indefatigably, and the reception
was rendered them by their fellow
workers in appreciation of their serv-
ices. Mrs r. G. Hilliard was elected
president and Mrs. Kelly vice presi-
dent.
The Ladies' Aid of Bethany Chapel
have been identified with every move
ment lettering the conditions of the
church and it's surroundings and have
been sponsors to all of the many i'm
prOyements which this church has rap
idly undergone. At the present time
they are lending their efforts towards
securing minister to take charge OF
the services, the former pastor, Arthur
Zimmerman, having left for South
America few weeks ago.

FIND NEW SOURCE OF SUGAR
Scientists Have Learned From Indians
That 1t Can Be Produced From the
Douglas Fir.

An Indian secret closely guarded for
generations by the red man has been
brought to light by John Davidson,
botanist of the University of British
Columbia, at Vancouver, and James
Teit. who has spent most Of his life
in the interior Of the Canadian prov
ince and has an intimate knowledge
of the life and habits of the natives.
The secret is that the Douglas fir-
famous tree of great size-produces
sugar that is extremely sweet and is
valued at $66 a pound.
The announcement is made by the
American Forestry association.
through an article. written by Francis
Dickie and published in the American
Forestry Magazine. The area in which
this sugar is found in abundance is
between the fiftieth and fifty-first par
