MILK FOR LARGE CITIES Agr'cnkural Dopartment Instiei Bulletin Dealing with Th.t Importmt Subject THINKS LITTLE OF PASTEURIZATION Katnrat Milk Prodored and Delivered In Tare and Protected Condition In Superior o Treated Article. WASHINGTON. Aug. SO.-Ths Agricul tural department has made a contribution to the general discussion on the quality of milk supplied to it ! In the shape of a bulletin on that subject, a large part of which la devoted to the question of trans portation. The bulletin says the agitation of the question of Impure milk has resulted In Improved practices on the part of per sons handling this article of food, but there Is still much room for Improvement. For Instance attention Is called to the fact that the Ideal vessel for the convey ance of milk rema:ns to be discovered. There are many cities and towns which have no legal regulations whatever con cerning milk. The opinion Is expressed thst the agitation of the question has caused much unnecessary alarm. The figures show that 1,000.000.000 gallons of milk are sold annually and the average quantity per capita, consumed In the largest cities la leas than two-thirds of a pints. The smallest consumption Is In New Orleans, where it is about one-fourth of a pint. Milk la sold from 12,000 stores In New York city, or an average of ons store to every 26 persons, and It Is de livered from 4,000 wagons, or an average of one wagon to every 859 persons. In cities with a population of above 50,000 there is an average of one wagon to about 784 per sons. Some cities reported several hun dred cows In herds within their boundaries and most cities have quite a number of cows kept singly for the private use of the families owning them. The sales show a wide variation In the prices paid for milk in different parts of the country. Producers usually receive on their farms from 2 to 3 cents a quart In the summer and 8 cents or more In win ter, but these limits are often exceeded. On the other hand, in some cases and In aome seasons, producers receive less than 2 cents a quart. The average price paid by consumers of milk when retailed in small quantities Is about 6 cents In summer and 7 cents In winter. The report says: The practioe of pasteurization appears to b gradually extending, yet tl.e mtdtcal fraternity Is divided in opinion as to Its expediency and the best fcentlment favors natural milk produced and delivered In such pure and protected condition as to be greatly superior to eny pasteuriwd ar ticle. Too often milk Is offered for sale with the claim that It has been pasteur ised, when It has been actually more harmed than helped, the process to which It has been subjected being unworthy the name. If done at alt. pasteurization should be in the hands of competent persons, hav ing emcient apparatus. Many suggestions are made for the Im provement of the milk supply, among which are the following: The registration of all dairies. Official Indorsement of properly conducted dairies. Inspection of nil herds, barns, dairy bulletins, etc.. once a month. Better lighting, ventilation, drainage and Cleanliness or cow statues. Whitewashing Interior of stable. 1 Eradication of tuberculosis from dairy Herds. Bradtng of condemned cows. Cows not to be given swill feed, etc. Cows to he regularly cleaned. Pasturage for city cows. Aeration of milk in nure alrT. Prompt cooling of milk and holding It at Int. nmnprtliiri. until final delivery. Shipment of milk from farms promptly arrer miming. , Delivery of milk and cream In te..led pac gages. ; POLICE NIP J3ANK ROBBERS Two of Men Behind the Bars and Third Jo nips from Window and Escapes. BT. LOUIS. Aug. 30.-After a struggle with two alleged bank robbers, now behind the bars at East St. Louis, 111., Chief of Police Purdy and his men nipped In the bud what Is believed to have been an at tempt to blow the snfe of the East St. Louis Trust and Savings bank tonight.

I wish we Americans would adopt the Spanish style of giving. There are occa slons when a host, warmed to the cockles of his heart by the congeniality and per sonal magnetism of a guest, will give to him -whatever he particularly admires among the household gods. In Spanish- speaking, Spanish-conquered, Spanish-lost countries this giving Is understood to be a sort of a compliment with a string tied to It. The guest "Ah! What a lovely porcelain! I have never seen Its equal borne rare work of the middle ages." "Do you like it? says the pleased host. ' "It la yours." They shake hands, slap each other on the shoulder and renew old friend ship. But the host knows that the present will never leave his house, and the guest, understands that ths gift Is not bis, except in the meaning. New York Press. Ukt Steamer Bnrned. . DtllHHI, Aug. SO.

When Natalie Hall married Clarke Dex ter the people who prophesied that she would not be happy were so very much In he minority that no one paid heed to them. i "Dexter's opinion of himself will have to be whittled down several Inches before he'll make any women's life what It ought to be," one man had said. But everyone knew thst the speaker would gladly have stood In Dexter's shoes, so he did not count. Nevertheless not many months had passed before a vague uncertainty began to, grow in the heart of Natalie Dexter, which, had the minority known It, would have caused them to exclaim complacently, 'I told you so!" As to Dexter, while still very much In love with his wife, he frankly admitted to himself that a woman of more penetra tion, In other words, one more keenly alive to the rare intellectual qualities of Clurke Dexter, attorney at law, might have proved a more congenial companion. It was a warm day In early summer. After a hard five hours In court Dexter as cended the steps of the pretty suburban ilia which he called home somewhat be fore his usual time. With the Jangle of ths day still on his nerves he dropped Into a low chair on the piazza. Presently his own name reached him as through a base. Dexter opened his eyes lazily, realizing that for a moment he had been blessedly unconscious. "But surely, dear, you and Clarke are ery happy?" The repeated question, coming through an open window where the air softly stirred some light draperies, pricked him Into complete wakefulness. An aunt to his wife, who had been to her as a mother, was visiting them. Dexter recognized her voice. He found himself listening intently for the reply. It came guardedly. If you mean do we get on. Aunt Grace, I suppose we do; as well ns nine-tenths of the ptxple we know, perhaps." "But, my dear, that Is different to the married life I had hoped for you." It Is different to the married life I had hoped for myself." Dexter sat up, too annoyed to realize that he was listening to a conversation not meant for his ears. "The fact is" Natalie Dexter paused. "What, dear?" "It seems abominable to say, but you are the only mother I have ever known. There would be a greater chance of happi ness for Clarke and me If If something occurred to disillusionize him a little with his , own attainments.'' Had Clarke Dexter walked against a stone wall on a clear day he would not have been so surprised as he was by these words in his wife's voice. But, my . dfcar, Clarke has surely soma right-to feel complacent with his attain ments. Not yet 30, and fast climbing to the top of the tree In his profession." Dexter blessed Miss Hall In his heart "Don't I know that. Auntie? In the hours that I have sat and thought it all out I have come to this jrlnlon that all his Ufa long everything, even his wife, has come to Clarke too easily. It must have been so at school and college. His grasp of a thing Is so Immediate and absolute that it makes him Intolerant with what ha consld ers the stupidity of others, especially with mine." Yours?" Miss Hall's voice bristled with Indignation. Yes, mine. The one fact which Clarke does not seem to nave mastered Is that a Woman's mind may be as keen as a man's ar.d yet remain feminine." "Testerday," she went on, "he stood and watched me when I took up this embroid ery. It puszled and almost irritated him that I cculd be Interested In what was to htm so trivial. When he turned away ths very angle of his shoulders said as plainly as words that the mind which could find absorption In a bundle of colored silks and a piece of fine linen must be a small af fair." A slow red mounted painfully to the cleatvshaven face of the man on the piazza. 'Do you know what it brought to my mind Aunt Grace?" "No, dear." Miss Hall's voice was dull with distress. 'One of your days 'at home' In Wash lngton. When most of the people had gone Judge Doane dropped in for his usual cup of tea. , 1 was finishing a tea cloth for yjur birthday and he came and stood be- slJe me. Presently he said, 'I wonder If a woman's hands ever look so charming as when they are occupied with needle work.' And when you told him that I had arranged the orchids on a table and copied them with my needle he e: claimed, 'Why, child, yob are an artist! That Is literal needle painting.' " Clarke Dexter's eyes, which a few hours before had scintillated with the Joy of lay ing skilfully concealed traps for the feet of an unwary witness, stared before him no In blank amazement. Judge Doane! Only that morning he had held In reserve a decision of the great Justice and played It as his trump card. And this man had found time to admire his wife's pretty hands snd be interested In her dainty work When she spoke again her tone was so hurt that Dexter -felt something clutch at his heart. "I don't believe Clarke would belie ve that I could originate anything even a tie sign for fancy work and the worst of it Is that I am fast descending to the level of his opinion." The unhspplness in her voice had been like a stream, restrained at first, but gain ing such force from the tributaries of thought that the weak barriers of caution were swept away. Her next words revealed Its truo depth,, and current appallingly to the man who had taken her young life Into his keeping. He could have knelt in contrition and k.fsed the hem of her pretty gown. . "I. shall not offer this cloth to the church after all,", she said firmly. "I have stitched so many bitter disillusions with life Into It that it would be sacrilege. There are placs I cannot bear to look at, for every thread was a protest against God." "What was thst?" Miss Hall looked up at a sound on the plazsa. Natalie Dexter went to the window and drew aside the curtain. Someone was dis appearing around the corner of the house, but her vision wss too blurred to distin guish who It was. It was almost a year later. Winter seemed to have stepped back and taken a reluctant earth In a last embrace. Before a blazing log fire In the library Dexter and his wife sat. indulging In one of their many bon camerade discussions, which were as the striking 'of flint and steel. More then once he had risen and paced the floor, with hands thrust deep Into his pockets, when his wife's keen wit and wo man's Instinct met snd baffled him. "Come." he said, holding out one hand to her. "I don't admit that I'm beaten by any means, but I know one thing I'm rav enous. Let's go and see If we can t find something cold In the larder." Natalie Dexter arose and laid her hands on her husband's shoulders. The eyes which looked Into his were so caressing that hs went toward her, but she held him back. "Clarke," she said slowly, "there's some thing I wsnt to ask you. You have grown so Immensely In the laat year, there 4s not a trace of the the you will forgive me, dear little touch of Intolerance of egotism which " Dexter took the glowing face between his hands and paused to kiss the halting Hps. 'The Improvement," hs said slowly, "Is the result of unprofessional opinion." C0MERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Corn Shows a Utile Strength as Result of Cool Weather. CHICAGO. Alls-.

Totals 863 6,581 CATTLE There was quite a string of cnttle reported this morning, but the bulk of them were consigned direct to local packers. Those that were on sale were In tended for yesterday's market, but were de layed by the washouts on the railroads. For the week receipts show a decrease of over 6.0W head, as compared with last week, and as compared with the corresponding week of last year there is a loss of nearly 16,000 head. The increase In receipts for the year to date now amounts to about 117, tW head. Most of the cattle that srrived today were comfed steers and the big bulk of them was good enough to bring $5.25. Most of the Talesmen thought the cattle did not sell to quite as good advantage as they would hud they arrived yesterday, owing to the fact that packers sre never very anxious for cattle on a Saturday. The commoner cattle In particular were hard to pell at satisfac tory prices. As compared with a week ago the market may safely be quoted 15ii25c higher, on everytning except wurmea-ups, which come In competition with the west erns. They have shown very little Improve ment. GJod to choice cattle sell from $5.00 to $5.55, the latter price being paid yester dav, which Is-the highest price of the year to 'date. Fair to good steers sell from $4.75 to $6.00 and the commoner kinds from $4.75 down. Cows are selling In practically tho same notches thev were a week ago. The quality of the bulk of the offerings has been rather Inferior and for that reason the common kinds are, if anything, a shade lower. Good cows, however, have been very scarce and are fully steady for the week. Good to choice cornfed cows may be quoted from $3.75 to $4.40, snd some heifers that were fed with steers sold this week at $5.25. The bulk of the fair to good grass cows sell from $2.75 to $3.25. with the medium kinds going from $2.40 to $2.60 and canners from $1.60 to $2.26. Hulls, veal calves and stags have not shown enough change all the week to be worthy of mention. There lias been a good, brisk demand for feeders all the week In spite of the heavy rains which 'made it impossible to ship stock for a couple of days. As compared with the close of last week prices on good stuff sre, if anything, a little hleher. some sales showing an advance of 10i15e. Com mon kinds, though, are not quotably hlpher. The good to choice grades have been selling from $3.75 to $4.10. fair to good from $3.40 to $3.75 and the less desirable kinds from $3.25 down. Dehorned cattle sell to better ad vantage than horned cattle of the same quality and the advance has been mostly on the former kind. There has been a light run of western rsnge cattle here this week, considering i the time of year, and the quality has been verv common. There have in fact been no gOOO to cnoice wrnirrn ieri nit-t-ra ini.-r.-ii to. make a test of values, but it is safe to sav that anything desirable would have sold higher. The better grades of raiiRe rows are about steady for the week and sell largely from $2.75 to $3.25. The medium grades go largely from $2.40 to K 60, while the common kinds sell from $226 down. Western stockers and feeders are steady to strong for the week and are selling at the prices quoted above. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. l... 1... ft... Ji... ... N... At. Pr.

Trading though was not very active, partly because pawn ers did not like to pay the prices, but principally becuuse the trains were late in arriving, which always has a bad effe t upon the market. The quality of the of ferings was also a little off, us there were no choice lights at all on sale. Heavy hogs sold largely from $5.26 to $5.30, medium weights went from $5.30 to $5.40. and the lighter loads sold from $5.40 to $5.52. There was not much change In the market, though toward the close heavy hogs, if anything, wers a little weaker. For the week receipts of hogs have been fairly liberal, as there is an Increase over last week amounting to about 6.0o0 head, and, as compared with the same week last yesr, there is a gain of 10.000 head. Prices have fluctuated back and forth consider ably during, the week, but the average -ost for the week is considerably higher than for last week At the close of the week though prices are only a shade higher than they were a week ago.

For the week receipts have been light, 'is there is a slight decrease compared with hist week and ns compared with the cor responding week of last year there Is n falling hit amounting to over 30,000 head. The Increase for tho year to date now amounts to only about kx.oOO head. For the week the market has been In very satisfactory condition. On some days trading was not ns brisk as might be de sired, but still taking the week as a whole, the offerings have been well cared for and pricts have stayed In verv much the same notches. Early In the week prices eased off about a dime, but at the close of the week there Is very little change to note In the prices ruling on good stuff fmm those paid at the close of last week. If there Is any change at all It is on the common stuff, and that Is not more than a shade lower. This is true of lambs as well ss of sheep. Choice lambs have been very scarce sll ths week and In fact nothing strlctlv choice has been offered In some little time. The demand for feeders lias been brisk snd each day's receipts hare sold freely at just about steady prices.
