Judge Anderson's Ruling.

The decision of Judge Anderson of the
United States court at Indianapolis against
the efforts to unionize the mines of West Vir-
ginia is sure to attract wide attention Judge
Anderson granted a temporary Injunction
against such action on the ground that the
union was seeking to restrain trade The court
did not deny the right OF the workers to or
ganise, but held that the miners efforts were
IN furtherance of conspiracy with operators
In organized union fields to shut off the com
petition of non-union mined coal There will
at once be entered, no doubt, an emphatic de-
NAL on the part of. the miners union of any
intention TO conspire with the operators, They
Will contend that their only object in unioniz-
ing West Virginia is to get more pay for the
miners. The marketing of the coal is a minor
consideration far as the miners themselves
are concerned.
West Virginia has been a scene OF strife.
OF suffering, even of much bloodshed in the
mining regions. This injunction by Judge An
derson is new angle in the situation Its
equity will not be acknowledged by the miners
and their friends, and may be as stoutIy de-
Tended by the operators and their friends At
any rate it is not likely to bring peace into
West Virginia.

Highway Billboards.

One might suppose by driving over them
that the highways of Illinois were built ex-
pressly to be disfgured by billboaris. Some of
these offensive scenery obscuring devices are
as high as house, as long as a string and as
hideous an attempt at art as red or yellow
barn would be if placed before a spacious and
artistically beautiful residence.
Why the highway commissioners of Illinois
permit these billboards to be erected along
highways that cost $4,000 to $4,000 a mile of
the peoples money is beyond the capacity of a
very vivid imagination TO tell They obstruct
views of the fields. the orchards the elegant
country residences. and many a view that would
be a delight to the intelligent and cultured
persons who pass over the roads either as
tourists or as citizens who drive into the coun-

Market Peculiarities.

Statements of market reporters that fear
Of a railroad strike was responsible for de-
cline in the livestock market challenges the
Iayman for explanation. strike would keep
hogs out of the market, would imperil the
food supply of the cities, and presumably would
al entuate demand. Outside the circles of live
stock buyers this was certainly the opinion, as
witness the precautionary measures taken by
New York and Chicago officials in the way Of
organizing motor truck trains in order to pre-
vent starvation of the inhabitants. By what
process of logic packing house buyers can turn
this situation around TO make it reason for
lower quotations the ordinary man must con-
fess himself baffed to see. 1t is of piece
with the other reputed causes of market de-
clines that are continually being reported. If
the weather is fine it means a falling off in
prices because of fears for overproduction; if
it is unfavorable it means that the farmers are
dropping their plows and rushing pigs into
market Fears of trans portation tieup neces-
state lower bids; improved transportation ia
cilities make for caution because of the prob
ability of heavy deliveries. Confronted daily
with this sort of reasoning, it is not strange
that the farmer should come to regard with
~some suspicion the supposed reflection of in
ternational markets on supply and demand.

The Raw Food Question.

There are sound reasons for and
against eating raw foods. The late
Professor Metchnikof strongly
condemned the practice of eating
raw milk or raw milk soured or
fermented. He insisted that the
Tactic microbes certainly prevent
the multiplication of other mi
crobes, as, for instance, those of
putrefaction, but are incapable of
destroying them Laymen who
purchase preparations purporting
to be Of Metchnikoff's invention
should particularly note that
the great scientist himself did not
believe that Tactic bacilli (Bulgar-
ian cultures) destroyed the bac-
terra that cause intestinal putre-
faction. Metchnikoff insisted that
milk to be fermented with Tactic
cultures be first skinned and
then boiled five minutes.
Metchnikoff taught that pas
teuIizing milk at temperature of
about 140 degrees Fahrenheit is
not sufficient to get rid entirely of
the bacilli of tuberculosis we
have therefore to fall back on a
middle course, and be content with
boiling the milk for several min
utes." As most dairy cattle in
this country have tuberculosis,
this teaching of a famous bacteriol-
ogist is worthy of respect But
there are other things in milk than
tNbercle bacilli and suchlike con-
Examinations. There are vitamins,
for instance much as 1 hate to
drag in a hackneyed and over
worked subject. If one can have
the assurance of tuberculin tests
for the heard from which the milk
comes; or if the milk is certified
milk-the very finest that can be
had-then by all means drink raw
milk and feed it raw to infants and
children. If such assurances are
lacking, then pasteurization as a
compromise with filth is the con-
sumer's Hobson's choice, for we
pasteurize milk only when we do
not believe it is a pure article. The
20 minutes or more of moderate
heating in the process of pasteur-
ization has been found to destroy
vitamins in the milk. yet in this
country pasteurization is general
ly relied upon to destroy all dis
ease germs that may be present in
milk, although so great an author
ity as Metchinkoff asserted that
this does not necessarily destroy
such dangerous germs as tubercle
bacilli.
Since many epidemics of septic
sore throat typhoid fever. scarlet
fever, and diphtheria, have been
traced to milk polluted by germs
