All Milk Sold After January Must Be Pastuerized

Secretaries of the City Boards of Health throughout the state are in receipt of a great amount of data and instructions referring to the new order of the State Board of Health, relatives to th epasteurizing of milk sold on the market and the regulations governing the same. The order of the state board becomes effective on the first of next January. Dr. Hurty, the state secretary, has requested that the city council pass an ordinance regulating the treatment of milk ana its handling. The Stat eßoard divides milk into four grades as follows: Grade A.—Raw Milk: Must come from cows free from disease and tested for tuberculosis, and shall be milked and handled by persons who have passed a medical examination. Th emilk shall m ecollected under sanitary conditions so that the bacterial count shall not exceed 10,000 per cubic centimeter. Grande AA.—Pasteurized Milk. The restrictions as above apply, the bacterial count not to exceed 20,000 per cubic centimeter and after being pasteurized shall not exceed 10,000 at time of delivery to the customer.

Grande B.—Milk in this class must be produced under sanitary conditions as in other’ two classes and the bacterial count at no time to exceed 1,000,000 per cubic centimeter. All milk of this grade shall be pasteurized under official supervision and shall contain less than 60,000 bacterial per cubic centimeter when delivered to the customer. Grande C.—Milk of this grade shall come from cows that pass the test as in other classes and with the sanitary regulations. When produced the bacterial count shall not exceed 1,000,000 per cubic centimeter and must be pasteurized, or heated to a higher temperature, and not contain mote than 60,000 bacterial at time of delivery to cusomer. Milk dealers are required ‘to have a permit or license ~to sell any label for such grade or class.

RENSSELAER. INDIANA. MONDAY, ; NOVEMBER 26, 1617

TEUTON PASTOR GETS U. S. TEXT

FEDERAL AGENTS INSPIRE HANOVER DIVINE TO NEW HEIGHTS. , The Rev. Carl Voight, pastor of the German Evangelical church in Hanover, a township on the western front of Cook county, not far from Elgin, made a pilgrimage to the department of justice yesterday. He entered right blithely, his Bible under his arm—to prove that it was not the kaiser's Bible from which he preached. He spent eventful hours in conference with Charles F. Clyne. United States district attorney, and Robert W. Childs, assistant United States district attorney. They spoke to him from the heart. The charge against the Rev. Mr. Voight was that he had preached to nis flock anti-American teachings. At his church the sermons are in German and the Sunday school work is in German. Give to Aid German* It is alleged that though his flock and the . immediate neighborhood some months ago subscribed more than S2OO to the German Red Cross fund, in recent patriotic campaigns their record was like this: Liberty bond sales SOO.OO American Red Cross 00.00 Y. M. C. A. fund 00.00 Grand total A ... SOO.OO

Mr. Clyne charged Mr. Voight withje^ng^hi 8 parishioners that it good judgement, for them to ley away winter stores, as the government would send inspectors, would seize all but their absolute necessaries, and heavily tax that which was left them. The clergyman pleaded that he believed tbit to be true, that he had read such in a German language newspaper printed in Chicago. Mr. Clyne sent for the flies of the paper and told him to find the statement. Mr. Voight failed. ( Refer* to Bible The pastor showed marked passages in his Bible, showing the texts from which he preached. Mr. Clyne countered with the gentle reminder that Hanover cast an almost solid Socialist vote at the judicial election.

The end was this. Hanover is to turn over a new leaf. The pastor is to give a red hot stemwinding sermon next Sunday With /his text “America First.” He is to name -a committee to collect for the Y. M. C. A. army relief. He is to name another for American Red Cross work. He is to buy a Liberty bond and advvise his people to do the same. The subscription lists will be reopened by special dispensation from himself, admitted Mr. Clyne. “I will make Hanover the most intensely American community in the country.” said Mr. Voight. Federal 1 agents will hear the “America First" sermon next Sunday.

Armory Should Be Secured For Militia Company

As our local militia company is not and will not be under federal jurisdiction, it will be impossible for the state to pay for the use of Armory in the future as can be seen .by the following letter: Indiana State Council of Defense State House, Indianapolis Nov. 23, 1917. Mr. J. M. Sauser, Rensselaer, Indiana. Dear Sir:— . I understand that the Adjutant General is closing up all leases for armories heretofore used by the Indiana National Guards. Under the law he is permitted to pay out money only for those organizations that are under Federal control and it would be impossible to pay for an armory for a Home Guard Organization. I am Sorry that this condition exists, but wonder if the patriotic citizens of Rensslaer could not arrange with the landlord and pay rent for the time being at a lower figure than had heretofore been paid by the, State. I hope this arrangement can be made. ~ Yours very truly, WILL H. HAYS . Chairman. Under these condition it seems that the County Council of Defense should arrange to take care of this expense and many of our leading citizens, including County Chairman Welsh and Judge C. W. Hanley are in favor of having this expense met by the county.

NOTICE. Watch for the announcement of W. H. Ambler's closing out sale of 100 polled Herefords at Winamac, December 11,1917. You will find a complete stock of anti-freezing compound, radiator and hood covers for. your car, at the Central Garage. Phon 819.

FIRES BARN; SHOOTS NINE

FRANK WARNER, OF WOLCOTT, RUNS AMUCK—9 OF FIRE COMPANY SHOT Frank Warner, aged thirty-five, a laborer of Wolcott, Ind., run amuck Saturday night giving the citizens of Wolcott the greatest thrill they have had in years. As a result of his performance nine members of the Wolcott fire company were shot and one. Andrew Troxwell, is so seriously injured that it is feared he may die, a barn owned by Warner was burned to the ground and the house in which Warner lived was also fired, but the fire company succeeded in extinguishing the flame before the house was destroyed. Warner’s act is attributed by some to be due to insanity, while others are of’ the belief that it was only an attempt to dodge taxes and collect insurance on his property. - Warner fired the barn first, setting fire to it in many places, and there was no chance to save the building. With a shotgun loaded with number 6’s he held the crowd at bay and when the fire company arrived and attempted to attach the hose to the fire plug he opened fire an them. After wounding »ine of them he ran to the house and set fire to it. In the meantime, onlookers had secured several guns and commenced answering the fire of the maniac. Warner, seeing that he was' hopelessly to_the give up. The blaze which had been started in the house was put out.

Warner, with his wife and five children, returned to Wolcott from Wanatab last spring and since that time has been employed as a laborer. He has never before showed signs of being mentally unbalanced and so far as known has never been in trouble before. Under a strong guard he was taken to Monticello and lodged in jail, where he will be examined by physicians to ascertain whether or not he is mentally defective. If found to be of sound mind be will no doubt get a long term in the state penitentiary.
