Pasteurized milk will keegtonly a little longer than raw milk. Professor Conn believes this method will ultimately be applied by the great milk distributing companies them­ selves, as has been done in Copenhagen with marked success in the last three years. In Denmark more than half the cows have tuberculous, making the use of milk more than usually unsafe. Fo|r this reason the Copenhagen company has found it profitable to devise large machines in whicH the milk flows through in a constant stream, is Pas­ teurized, wad runs out at the rate of 2, 000 quarts an hour. As soon as the consumers show a sufficient preference for this kind of purified milk the large distributing companies throughout the country will have to install such plants. * DREYFTS has been pronounced gnilt- IflSS by thinking men the world over, and fa is now France, and not the unfortunate victim of a cruel conspiracy, that is on s" - W. trial at Rennea. > -- -- ' GRAIN CROPS AND VALUES. • - The statistican of the New York ^ produce exchange, taking the govern- inent crop reports for July 1, as the l basis of calculation, estimates the lead- h ing grain crops of this country this year as -< !?• v v v V; ' Wheat it?

THE MILK SUPPLY OF CITIES. "3?" An interesting article on the pure ^ ^ » millr question is contributed to the Sep- ^ teinber number of Popular Science mm**** by Professor W. H. Conn. One of the surprising conclusions reached by > . the writer is that the heterogeneous |iP%. milk supply of large cities is better than the supply that comes direct from the ,?» ^ ^ J- farmers to the smaller towns. Taking !rf * If ' New York as an example, he describes s«g£> the methods of the big milk companies, and in the end concludes that the prob- # Leu of securing pure milk must be solved ^ ^rough these companies. The larger 1?, ^ fhtnr concerns are the better, provided 'c: . . they can be compelled to take a reason- able amount of interest in the public S§gv:;.> safety. One of the facts adduced is that «;<; I# ' a&ttie epidemics of typhoid thus far traeed to bad milk have been in small * tfrfi . ' 1 j *** £&-Jv •mli ' hr: w&Sk communities, and^ione hare been traced to the big milk dealers. New York draws its milk supply from a territory with a radins of 300 miles and Chicago probably does the same, when the milk reaches the consumers it is perhaps fourty-eight hours old. It h*s come from hundreds of farms and all kinds of oows. It is taken from the cars and put in a big mixer, where it is thoroughly mixed so as to insure greater uniformity. All this sounds rather re- pellant, but Professor Conn holds that this two-days-old mixture is likely to be better than the milk of the average small farm. In the cars and at the city milk depots it has been constantly on ice, which destroys some of the feebler germs in it The mixture distributes the bacteria-infected samples through the whole mass, diluting the bad qual­ ities so that the whole is under the danger line. Most important of all, the large companies are able to supervise the dairy farms and guard the sources of supply. Some of the New York com­ panies keep inspectors traveling con­ stantly among the farms, spending $10, 000 or $15,000 annually in such inspec­ tions. They will receive no milk from a farm unless it is inspected each month. The appearance of a contagions on a farm leads to the immediate rejec­ tion of the milk, though it is still paid for. Companies that run their business in tins way soon get a reputation, and the writer believes the next step Em in this direction. But the fact remains that no amount of inspection can guarantee the absolute (safety of milk. On the European con­ tinent this fact has led to a general •ndonment of the use of milk in its iw state. There is less disease among kttle in America than in Europe, and and Professor Conn says he uses raw milk with perfect freedom, though he would regard it as unwise to give it to young children or infants without ster­ ilizing. This introduces the second step which he believes will be taken to insure a safe milk supply--the wholesale treat­ ment of it for the destruction of germs. The ordinary way to sterilize milk is to boil it or to heat it with superheat­ ed steam. In both cases it gives the taste of cooked milk, which most people dislike. The superheating method, with the sealing of the bottles, insures the milk from souring for months or years, but this fact in itself is a source of dan- . ger. While the heating almost always kills every germ, there are cases where faertaiB resisting spores aurvive andin Medical.

G.--Fan»er, a«ed sixty-three; a year asro sprained left arm between elbow and shoulder; rubbed with several liniments, but no better; cannot raise my arm: better when i exercise It; worse In the morning, when the pain prevents me sleeping. Ans.--This arm could probably be limbered out by active treatment; massage, hot and cold douches, painting with iodine, sea bathing, and elec­ tricity are methods. Constant Reader.--1. What are the first symptoms of tubercle In throat and bowels? 9. Can it be communicated to others, and If so in what stages is it most infectious? 3. Is it curable in the first stages of the disease? Ans.--Tubercle may be resisted in the first stages. Antiseptic and tonic treat­ ment. with cod liver oil and salt water bathing, is often useful. Every effort to obtain pure tonic and fresh air, must be made. No special symptoms make known its be­ ginnings. It is infectious as soon as it is present, if the bacilli are inhaled by others. Get the throat and sputa examined. PERSPIRING FEET -ROUND SHOtTLDEpS. Reader.--1. Will you please inform me of the best treatment to be used for feet that perspire very much, and that have a very offensive odor? 2. Also the most effective way to straighten back and shoulders of a youth of eighteen, that are a little round. Ans.--People who have no real change in the spine and its muscles ean easily cure round shoulders. The shoulder blades should be straight in line with each other, as when a walking cane is passed under the arms across the back, Always*straighten them while sitting and walking. Devoting attention to hold them flat against your back, the muscles will soon obey you and the chest being held well upward by the mucles of the chest, will throw the shoul­ ders down and into plaoe. Do not raise the shoulders, raise the chest. Flatten the back, and hold the neek as straight with the spine as will bring the back of the head into a proper position farther back than the spine. Persons who allow the head to push forward will soon have muscles alter to suit this wrong position, and a slanting neck, or round hack, are very ugly. It is surprising how soon a wrong position can be remedied if you give your mind to holding yourself rightly, as a person must-to carry a book upon the head without holding it. The muscles grow the length at which they are held. In cases of protruding head the muscles may grow lonjf behind, and short in front. No tim e should be lost in rectifying this. For offensive perspiration use boraclc acid and talc (silicate of magnesium)' mixed in equal parts, to powder the feet or socks after washing with a lather of soap r»bb*(din and washed thoroughly off again. f A TONIC TO THE LIVBB. ; Dilute nitro-muriatic acid, two drachms: compound tincture gentain, three drachms; decoction of dandelion, six ounces; dose a dessertspoonful, three times a day; tnrough a glass tube. • A Prominent Virginia Editor had Almoat (iiveii up, but wan Brought Ibu-k to Per­ fect Health by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ai.rt Diarrhoea Kfm<-dy,-K«ad iti» Kditorial. ^ (From the Times, Hillstille, Ya.) I suffered with diarrhoea for » long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had al­ most decided to give up all hopes of re­ covery and await the result, but notic­ ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stating hew some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to sav further to my readers and fellow-suf­ fers that I am a hale and hearty man today and feel as well as I ever did in my life.--0, a.
