Money in Old Siluer Foil

The sO-called "silver" foil is really
tin or aluminium foil and a great deal
of 1t is used and much Of it wasted
by being discarded after once having
served as a wrapping. A Welsh char.
ity drive took the form Of collection
of this material for the period of one
, year and the amount collected repre-
scented a value of $4,000, which was
expended in endowing hospital beds.
During the "drive" other money and
valuable material was collected which
brought the total up to $4,000.

CANTON IN CRISIS

Extracts from an account of recent
events in Canton, China, by Dr.
William w. Cadbury, member OF
the staff of Lingnan University.
China is engaged in great civil
war and as a result many untoward
incidents are bound to occur. The
killing of few foreigners in Monk
ing with the looting Of their houses
is indeed to be deplored; on the
other hand it is truly remarkable
that so few incidents of this kind
have occurred in veiw of the ire
mendous forces that have been re-
leased and the intense nationalist
feeling of the people.
Grave danger undoubtedly threat
ened us, but it was most gratifying
to feel that the friendship and con-
Germ for our welfare of General Ii
Fuk Lam was as sincere as ever.
He offered us the use of his spacious
mansion a mile or so from the cam
pus and assured us that in few
days the radical communist elements
were to be completely suppressed
The order for action was received at
his headquarters at 10 p. m. on this
14th of April and during the night
his troops were assigned to different
sections of the city. At a. very early
hour in the morning they began
their work of rounding up the chief
leaders of the Communist Party, and
during the next few days more than
one thousand disturbers of the peace
were arrested and thrown into i'm
provised prisons.
Thus at this time of danger, both
to life and property, the Chinese au-
thorities showed their complete COM
petence to prevent disorder and give
full protection to foreigners.
We deplore the fact that our Uni
versity has been compelled to tenn
porarily close its doors, because to
most of our students there will be
no opportunity to carry on their
studies elsewhere. In the mean
time, until we can get open again,
the college students, especially the
senior class, are carrying on their
work at home, under the direction
Of their professors.
A few months ago some of the
physicians in Canton made a request
to the government that special ex-
emption from strike should be grant
ed to hospitals. Thus it came about
that the cooks and other workmen
connected with my hospital continu-
ed their work as before, and up to
the present time there has been no
suspension of the hospital services
for the poor village people about us.
Every Sunday little group of rev.
erent worshipers has gathered in
the hospital building, led by one OF
my associates. A number of pocket
testaments have just been received
from Shanghai, thanks to a group OF
friends in Philadelphia, and some OF
these were distributed at our last
meeting.
In the meanwhile at our Univer
sity we have seen racial differences
reduced to minimum as, Chinese
and foreigners, we have struggled
together through the crises of the
past few months and we look for
ward with enthusiasm to reopening
in the near future under the au.
spices of our new Chinese Board OF
Directors.

SUMMER INCREASES DAIRY.
MEMS TROUBLES

With the advent of summer, diff
culties multiply for the dairyman
who desires to produce clean milk of
high quality with low bacteria con-
tent, says DR.. DeVoe Meade, head of
the dairy department at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Clean milk, however, can be pro-
duced without expensive barns and
elaborate equipment provided care is
exercised and sanitary methods prac-
tised. Certain precautions are al
ways necessary to produce milk of
superior quality with respect to fla
vor, odor, healthfulness and keeping
quality. Any feed which produces
an undesirable flavor or odor in milk
should be fed several hours previous
to the time of the milking and the
barn should be free from objection
able odors which are readily absorb
ed by milk.
Milk should be produced by clean.
healthy cows and drawn by clean
mixers free from communicable
disease. Every precaution should be
taken to prevent the contamination
of milk with dirt, manure or other
source of bacterial infection.
Cows should be curried and
brushed regularly to remove loose
hair and dirt. Just before milking.
the belly, udder and TANKS should be
wiped with clean, damp cloth and
the milk should be drawn into a
small-top milk pail. Milk should be
strained, but it should be borne in
mind that this practice does not re-
move bacteria but only foreign mat
ter contained in it. The strainer
cloth, as we'll as all utensils with
which the milk comes in contact
should be kept scrupulously clear
and sterilized, otherwise they be
come fertile source of bacterial in
lection.
After every precaution has been
aiken to prevent the contamination
If milk with dirt and bacteria, milk
'hould be Immediately cooled to q
temperature of SO degrees or below
ind held at that temperature
every dairy should be equipped with
facilities for rapidly cooling and
holding milk at low temperature
surface cooler through which cole
water circulates and a storage tank
or holding milk at a low tempera-
.ure will be OF great assistance in
keeping in check the development OF
bacteria and will aid materially in
producing milk of desirable quality.
Prevent foreign matter and bact
eria from gaining access to milk and
heck the further growth of such
bacteria as are present by immed
ately lowering the temperature OF
he milk to such point that growth
is retarded. These are the essen.
| tials which must be observed, espec
tally during the summer season OF
the year.

CHICKEN HAWKS AND OTHERS

CHICKEN HAWKS AND OTHERS
Not all hawks are harmful, in the
sense that they are supposed to be;
that is, in catching chickens and
song birds and quail. The Biologi-
cal Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture points out
that there are a number of different
species of hawks, and the food habits
of all are not the same. Some prey
almost entirely upon small NAM
mails, such as mice, ground squirrels
and rabbits, whereas the food OF
others consists chiefly of birds. The
latter are the species that are respon-
sible for the bad reputation of kall
hawks. The bird eaters should be
killed at every opportunity, but it is
equally important that the others be
spared, for they do great deal OF
good in destroying small-animal
pests of the farmer. The bird-eat-
ing hawks include the Cooper hawk
and the sharp-shinned hawk, and
these species prefer to capture theil
prey by swift, fierce darts from the
concealment of thick foliage. Most
of the other hawks are beneficial to
the farmer.
