Fred Carter was asked the other day whether he had yet decided to make
th.e race for the sheriff's office.
"I don't care to discuss politics now.
come let me sell you a good automo

date is "slim pickings" this early in the season. Of court Gary can be relied on for one or two candidate, possibly more. Tom Knotts has not yet said:
-I will positively not be a candidate

Of the fifteen milk samples which
City Sealer Jacob Friedman sent to the
state board of health recently two were
found to be very dirty and a third to be
below grade. Asair.st these three Mr.
Friedman intends to swear out war
rants In the near future.
"Prosecute these cases if possible,"
said H. E. Barnard, the state pure food commissioner, in 'his letter to Mr,
Friedman.
"If twelve of these fifteen farmers
were able to put clean mux on the market there seems to be little excuse for the other three," said Mr. Friedman. ''If course, the farmer himself
may not be to blame so much as his hired man at times, but the charges
are nevertheless preferred against the
farmer. The people are payine a good
price. for milk now and they are en
titled to a clean product."
A Matter of Interent. It may be of interest to Lake county
farmers to know that in Chicago a medical society milk commission has
been formed. The object of this commission is to certify the milk of all the dairies which live up to the contract and specifications. The commission is
formed In the interest in pure . milk
and not at all as a money-making scheme for the commission, as it is composed of medical men who want
pure milk for hospitals and other Institutions. The farmer and dairyman
who gets the seal of the commission

as the ordinary milk, In a little pamphlet the commission says;

ECZEMA OINTMENT
the spring of 1909 established a milk commission to contract with, all dairies that were 'able and willing to produce milk under conditions that would render possible a guarantee of the its purity. These farms agree to support the commission arid conform to the requirements set by it. The commission agrees to inspect the farms and their employes examine the milk both chemically and bacterlologically and ceYtify It "as lonk as it reaches the standard set by the commission. Model Dairy ernnirr. The contract which specifies the con
ditions, required in the conduct of the j farm in the choice and care of the cows , and in the collecting, handling and transportation of the milk was made In conformity with, the . mode recommended by the American Association of Medical Milk commissions, and after consultation with officers of the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture, the agriculture department of the United Urates university and with the Chicago commissioner of health the terms will indicate how a model dairy farm should be appointed and conducted. Poea Sot Regnlate Prieea. "The commission has nothing to do with the regulation of, the price of certified milk. All can appreciate the
reason for its costjng more than common milk because of the increased cost of the production. The object of the commission is to secure a supply of safe milk for infants and the sick. The members of the commission are: Drs. C. S. Bacon, president; J. W. VanDerslice. secretary and treasurer; J. Hess, Ernest Lackner, Robert A. Black, Julia P. Merrill and John Robiaon.

on our representatives in congress to get permission for Its constructnon will be exercised," he said. "Our water supply problem in Indiana will not be solved until you solve the disposition of your sewage, but when your problem is solved ours ia answered, too, and Chicago can go into the federal courts if necessary and prevent the Indiana cities from polluting the lake water." "We are willing to co-operate with Chicago in this matter, although Chicago dumps more sewage into the lake than all the Indiana cities combined. We, are ready to bring our influence to bear on the Indiana senators and con
gressmen to get them to work for the granting of the permit to construct the canal. . . , Bound Haad and Foot. , "The trouble is that American municipalities are bound hand and foot by their charters, their state constitutions and other restrictions. Many think a municipality should be a mere policeman. A European municipality would have this canal built long ago, for a European municipality Is a state within Itself and can do what It finds necessary to do. Tax dodgers also cripple American cities by reducing their lawful revenue." All speakers at the meeting was agreed that a canal through the. Sag to make the Calumet river flow from the lake instead of into it was the only feasible manner of disposing of the sewage of the Calumet region. Haa Two plana. Mr. Weisner explained plans to maintaining the level of Lake Michigan as it is at present, should the permit be granted. Opposition to the permit from all sides is based on the proposition that the lake level will fall several inches If the flow of the Calumet river is reversed. There are tw oplans, tentative as yet, that he declared perfectly feasible if the government insists on maintaining the lake level as at present. One is to control the waters of Lake Superior by an immense dam, holding it back in the winter, when there la no navigation, and letting it out slowly In the summer time. ' The other is to build a submerged dam across the Niagara river somewhere below Buffalo and raise the level of Lake Erie about three feet. Mr. Wlsner declared that could be done at much less expense than deepening the lakes by- dredging, as has been suggested In some quarters.
Dr. W. A- Evans, health commission-
William Ahlborn of Hammond stated this morning that he will be through with his work on the fill across the Little Calumet river swail within three weeks, and that the opening of the bridge on the extension of Broadway will take place within three weeks after Contractor Crowell finishes the bridge. In other words, In three weeks Ahlborn will have done tll he can do to open the Broadway extension, and it will then be necessary for him to wait until Contractor Crowell finishes the bridge before he can complete the approaches.
