PREPARE FOR RAISE

I PRICE OF iLK Commodity Advances Last of This of First of Next Month. RICHMOND-SMITH 1ST BOTTOM Company Which Controls Situation in Chicago, Alleged To Be Responsible for Boost. (Special to Lake County Times.) South Chicago, Sept. 14. Milk consumers prepare to pay for a raise in milk! The milk dealers have, at a meeting yesterday, practically decided to boost the prices Just a little higher, to meet the demands of the shippers who the dealers say have increased the price to them from 20 to 27 cents per hundred pounds over the price last year. The dealers say that the coming raise is inevitable as they have to make a prolit on their product, and the only way they can do this is to give the price a little boost. The Richmond-Smith company is alleged to be in a great measure responsible for the coming raise. This company acts as the shippers' representative in the city and practically controls the entire supply of Chicago. For their services every shipper is said to pay 5 cents on each can shipped. In boosting the price of milk it means that the small dealer will havo to water his supply if he wants to still continue to sell It at the old prices. And if he does this and the pure food authorities find it out, a nice fine will be the result of his trying to accommodate the purchasing public. The increase In the price of milk will probably not go into effect until the last of this or the first of next month: well, Frances Ilamacher, Maud Shea, Bardie Ripley and Martha Meyn. Messrs.

Erb, one of the best known of the old time merchants1 of South Chicago, passed his last days in the cold and cheerless rooms of the county hospital, where he died yesterday, almost without a friend to comfort his last hours. Several of the fine houses owned by the man are at the present time let to responsible parties who pay high rent and the income thereof was enough to keep the man at the Auditorium Annex with a suite of servants and physicians instead of the small white cot and the bare walls of a charitable Institution. Life's History. Jesse H. Erb was born seventy-five years ago and at an early age went to work making candy. He was a shrewrd ma and saved every cent and soon was able to start a small business for himself in South Chicago, which grew with the section. He soon amassed a small fortune which he invested in real estate. He served in the United tatates army during the war and was a member of Custer Post G. A. R. He was always noted for hia frugality and he earned the displeasure of his friends and neighbors whn his only son, who died in Chicago several years ago, was buried in the potter's field, although afterwards the old man tried to get the body from its resting place and to have it transferred to a better lot, but without success. He was taken with an illness many months ago and was removed from his fine residence to the county hospital. There he lived on the charity of the authorities until his death. The funeral will be held Masson, Ohio, where his relatives side. He leaves a widow. at re Between 200 and 300 South Chicago Infants Succumb in Two Months. PASTEURIZING WOULD HELP Health Department Says Many Lives Wonld Be Saved if Proper Precautions Were Adopted. (Special to Lnke County Times.) South Chicago, Sept. 14. That Chicago babies are dying by the wholesale la plainly shown by statistics which have just been compiled. The figures show that in July 4S5 babies died and in August, the number was 963, making a total of 1,458 for two months. The cause of these deaths in nearly all cases are attributed to impure milk. The figures compiled show that the majority of the deaths have been of young children between the ages of cne week to seven months. During the last two months, in which 1,458 deaths have occurred, South Chicago has furnished between 200 and 300. During August 200 milk depots were inspected and of that number seventy five were found in a very unsanitary condition. In last week's bulletin by the health department a notice was published set ting forth the advantages of milk pasteurization, in which the statement that this method of preparing milk or the use of the infants 'probably has a favorable influence in preventing or emeliorating the severity of some of the intestinal disorders of children caused from using impure milk." The method of pasteurization recommended by the health authorities is to heat the milk for twenty minutes, then place In an Ice box where it should be prop erly cooled tefore using. If these instructions would be followed by the parent of Chicago's little children, 'the number of deaths, es pecially among the little children would in my opinion be greatly elim inated" said one of the members of the board of health.

"When he visited the Lake Countt Tiue3 o3ce with the ad, he was very insistent that it be published in the paper at once, as "every day counted." There seemed no doubt at the time of his anxiety to secure some one who would undertake the care of the child and bear the burden of the expense.
