REYiiOtO STATES MIL VIEWS In Statement He Explains Why the Raise in Milk Price Took Place.

The following statement has been Issued by W. C. Reynolds, a prominent dairyman: j . Reynold' Statement. I bar gained some notoriety by be-! Ing elected chairman of the milk dealers' meeting on the night of February third. In Justice to myaelf and my as- j aoclates, I will briefly review the producers' problems. We are held by the ruling of the state board of health the enforcement of which the legislature has made the same as the statute. Certain kinds of buildings are prescribed, the erection . or wnicn costs rrom suv up. In my own case, of a covered space of 4212 square feet, the cattle occupy 2(10 feet of the floor space. This building was not erected gratis. A certain method of milking is required, the udder must be cleaned and the cow brushed. A certain method of cooling and a maximum temperature Is given. The milk room must hare a certain construction. The milk must hare a required percent of butter fat and of solids. Is No Child's flay. I might enumerate more, but this will surely suffice to show that a special equipment Is necessary to begin business, and the fulfillment of which Is no child's play. The one problem which caused this agitation is the feed problem. The wholesale price of milk, 16c per gallon, was fixed several years ago. Clover hay could then be bought at from f 6 to 9 per ton and bran at $14 to $16 per ton. A cow requires a certain amount of feed to maintain her body. If she gets no more than this she does It at the expense of her body and grows thin. After the feed required to maintain the body, our experiment stations have shown, the additional feed should equal one third of the weight of her milk. The most of thoughtful farmers feed accordingly. Amount Cow Gives. The amount of milk given by the average cow Is about 2 gallons. To maintain her body and give milk In aero weather the cow will consume dally: 25 pounds of clover hay at $18 per ton. 22.S cents; 4 pounds of corn at 70c per bushel, 6. cents; 6 pounds of bran and cotton seed meal, 8.4 cents; Daily cost of feed, 86.9 cents. Cost per gallon 17.96 cents. Now If our buildings be considered, and all our. labor, our loss is 2.96 cents per gallon. Now allow the producer the .06 of a cent for delivering this milk to the dealer while your city residents are yet sleeping and we have the toss of 3 cents per gallon. How long can we continue in business? Now, as a matter of fact, the retailer can not sell this milk at the old price. The basis that has been followed was 0 percent for the producer and 40 per cent for the retailer. There may be several problems of the retailer about which I know nothing. But the one question which presents Itself have the retailers been making money out of their business? I can only generalise. Many of them have been In business for years. If leallh and

Oy Mrs. Mae Martyn

Ada T.: Avoid all complexion creams which contain oil. as they make the akin shiny and cause hair to to grow on the face. By stirring S teaspoonfuls glycerine and one ounce almasoln Into H pint cold water you have a matchless cream-Jelly for clearing softening and whitening the skin. It Is unsurpassed for cleaning the complexion and making It smooth and youthful looking. .Use this morning and night and you will need have no worry about the way your face will look. - Mrs. P. B.: Weight reduction Is a very simple matter. Those old-fashioned theories of violent exercises and starvation are all nonsense, and at the best furnish only temporary relief. To take off fat. use this remedy: Dissolve 4 ounces of parnotls In 1 pints hot water and take a tables poonful before meals. This simple, harmless remedy works wonders where many of the "sure cures" fall. It leaves the skin' smooth and firm. - W. A. B. : Only healthy seal pa produce beautiful, abundant hair. You must keep your scalp clean by shampooing as often as necessary. The following tonic will prove an unfailing remedy for dandruff, Itching scalp and falling hair: Stir one ounce of qulnsoln Into H-plnt alcohol, then add Hpint cold water. Rub this tonic Into the scalp about twice a week. It will do wonders for your diseased scalp and make your thin, straggly hair thick, long and beautiful. Elsie 8.: That sickly took you have, besides your toes of energy and run down condition, are due to a sluggish. Impure blood. Incident to the winter months. This is very common, but Is easily overcome by taking before bmoJs a table spoonful of this simple system tonic: In H-plnt alcohol dissolve one ounee kardeae, adding Hcup cup sugar and hot water to make a quart.

' Belle: The reason your hair looks so dull and faded and la so hard to arrange la that you have made A usual mistake of shampooing with soap.

they were losing money would they continue? We, as producers, were willing to throw in our work, only asking for enough for maintainance. Were they willing to sacrifice anything? Or did they try to use the high cost of feed as a lever to "boost" themselves? Their deliberations are known from your own conclusion. As to Canned Milk. Now I will view the canned milk problem. The chemical analysis of milk, according to the International Encyclopedia, Is: Water, 86.80; fat, 8.80; milk sugar, 4.50; albuminoids, 4.20; salts, .70. The tests of the milk Inspector of Richmond Bhow an average of a butter-fat test of 3.80. I have before me a can of condensed milk and costing 5 cents. Printed on the label la the following: "Contains not less than 23 per cent solids and 7.89 butter fat. Let us take the butter fat as the basis, since it is by the fat that the average housekeeper Judges milk. This box of milk weights 6 oz., and contains 7.8 per cent butter fat. Suppose 6 of these boxes are sold for 25 cents after covering a page with figures, I find that it equals 4.62 pounds of milk which reduced to quarts tsoBts a fraction over 10 cents. It is amusing to listen to musings of the Item on the feed problem. Friday's paper, for instance. The facts are that few of the farmers got a stand of clover in 1910. Still Beauty Advice ed in a cup of hot water for your shampoo, if you want your hair to dry evenly and quickly without streaking. Canthrox makes the hair very fluffy and bright, and gives to the scalp a feeling of pleasing freshness. You will not catch cold if you shampoo with canthrox and will find it makes your hair look so very nice. Anxious Mother: If your baby has diarrhoea, dysentery or other bowel trouble, take a table-spoonful of F. N. Johnson's especially prepared pure barley flour, stir in enough water to make a thin batter; then add one pint of boiling water and a pinch of salt; stir slowly and let boil five minutes. Strain and feed to the baby warm through nursing bottle. When bowels become normal and baby is in good condition gradually add milk to barley and water. J. M. S.: Cutting the hairs only makes them come in heavier. Get an original package of delatone and with a little of the powder mix enough water to 'form a paste. Put this on the hairy surface and after two or three minutes rub off wash the skin and every trace of hair will have vanished. Druggista charge a dollar an ounce for delatone, but it never fails to do the work. Mr. V. O.: The woman who uses face powder not only is behind the times, but does herself a personal inJury. Face powder is only a mockery to beauty, as it clogs the skin pores, causing wrinkles and other complexion Ills. To have a perfect complexion, use a good lotion such as the following: Dissolve 4 ounces of spurmax In -pint witch hazel (or hot water), adding 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This lotion gives the skin a decidely refined took of velvety smoothness. It removes the shine, Immediately corrects sallow, freckled complexions and doe not come off in the wind like powder does or rub off easily when a veil la worn. This lotion is a splendid beautlfler and skin whitener. 8. D.: Yes, no factor is more important in a beautiful face than bright clear, youthful eyes. You should use a good eye tonic Get an ounce of crystos. dissolve it In a pint of water and use two or three drops in each eye dally. It will clear and strengthen your eyes, remove an signs of weakness and Inflammation and make them bright and sparkling. For weak, dull, expressionless eyes I think this toaie simply wonderful. It is very soothing, and Is fine for those who wear glasses.

less got a stand last spring. With a decreased acreage and the hot, dry weather, it is to be wondered at that hay is scarce? I will also add that when the snow melts the cattle will still be fed from the manger. As for myself, I follow the line of mixed farming, and when a line fails to pay, I drop it. If the milk business is not on a paying basis next winter I will drop it and white-faced Herefords will occupy the present quarters of the spotted Holsteins and grades in my stable. Respectfully, W. C. Reynolds. There is no better medicine made for colds than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It acts on nature's plan, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions, aids expectoration; and restores the system to a healthy condition. For sale by all dealers. The Brown Rst. The best way to make a good clearance of rats is to turn a cobra Into the place they inhabit. It will clear them out in an amazingly short time. . But most people prefer the rats. Were It not for cats, owls, weasels and a few other animals In combination with man, in a short time the whole country would be one vast rattery, for the rate at which these animals Increase Is stupendous. They are without doubt one of the worst forms of vermin, but they possess one good quality. In a tight corner few animals are more courageous than the brown rat. Rata hard pressed have been known to fly at a man's throat Two or three, secure .'u a little fortress with a small opening only large enough for one at a time to come in and go out, will defy a score of ferrets, and If one ferret with ! more courage than his brothers does j venture to enter the lions' den he must look well to himself or he will never come out alive.

For instance, the air is forced In through a hole in the pointed toe of the pipe, goes through the flue (the silt cut in the side) and strikes the lip. In some cases it then hits the beard (a metal cylinder attached just below the openins) and rebounds against the lip, producing a double vibration. There Is also a tontrue, and the upper part is' called the Iwrrel. Exchange. Faultfinding. Often the most unhappy people are those who have lost the art of admiration and become experts In the art of faultfinding. Beauty is everywhere, but they see it not because of the flaws somewhere below It. Faultfinders should turn their magnifying glasses upon themselves and there discover why they are not loved.

DUMAS AND HIS BARBER. Origin of the Practice of Speculating In Theater Tickets. The practice of speculating In theater tickets, strange as It may appear, was started by the elder Dumas. He patronized a Paris barber named Porcher, and one day this worthy while shaving the novelist asked him why he did not sell the tickets given him by the managers of the theaters where his plays were produced. "To whom could 1 sell them?" asked the author of the "Three Musketeers." "Why, to me, If you like." replied PorCher. "And what would you do with them?" asked Dumas. "That's my buslnes." replied the barber, continuing to lather the bronzed face of the famous story teller. "But I give you tickets whenever you ask for them.' said Dnmas. "Ah! One or two are not sufficient for my purpose," responded Pore her. "I must have all your tickets, and every day too." "And you will pay for them?" said the dramatist, "Cash." was the simple yet practical reply. Dumas at that moment was very' badly in need of money, so he at once concluded the bargain. Porcher. who shortly after this gave up shaving and cutting hair, made similar bargains with other authors and quickly became rich. Pearls are now in great demand and increasing in value. . A necklace cost ing 828,000 not long ago was recently sold for 890,000. .THE KEYSTONEj TO HEALTH IS STOMACH BITTERS To sweeten the stomach, aid digestion. THE BITTERS SBOULD BE YOUR FIRST CHOICE.

The champion cigar smoker in Paris kept a cigar alight for two hours and seventeen minutes. Nothing is said as to the length of tb? cigar. It was a California miner who wagered tbat h would smoke six cigars, six cigarettes and six pipes of strong tobacco within an hour. He accomplished the task, was seized with an attack of heart failure immediately afterward und never smoked again. The tenor Mario smoked from twenty-fire to thirty ordinary sized cigars a day. and in Italy, where be could not obtain Havana, he used to smoke daily a hundred Cavours. They aay that Edwin Booth smoked twenty-five cigars a day. Mark Twain ran him close. Boston Herald.

ESSEN'S BAKERY. Said te Be th Largest Breadmaking Concern In th World. The largest bakery in the world is located in Essen. Prussia, the borne of the great Krnpp gun factory. It is s vast building, iu which seventy workmen, divided into two shifts, work night and day. Everything is done by machinery, says the London Tost. A screw turns unceasingly a kneading trough, into which are poured some

water and ten sacks of flour of 200! pouuds each. This machine makes about 40.000 pounds of bread each day. In the shape of 25,000 small loaves and 25,000 large loaves, produced by 230 sacks of flour of 200 pounds each. All the operations of breadmaking are performed In this colossal bakery. The wheat arrives there, is cleaned, ground and brought automatically to the kueading trough by a series of rising and descending pipes. There are thirty-six double ovens, and the workmen who watch over the baking of the bread earn from 8 to 10 cents an hour, making an average of 90 cents a day for eleven hours on duty. They have coffee and bread free; also the use of a bathroom, for they are required to keep themselves spotlessly clean and must wash -their hands eight times a day.
