New Orleans, Dec. 8.—Lumbermen
from many parts of the South met here
today to organize a new association,
or possibly two, of men interested in
the yellow pine trade. Preliminary to
this, however, members of the yellow
pine manufacturers association are ex-
pected to dissolve that organization
and join with others interested in the
business in the new body or bodies.
Decision to dissolve the old associa-
tion was announced by the directors
after some of its members, particularly
in Missouri, had been successfully at-
tacked as violators of the Sherman
anti-trust law. It is the idea of the
lumbermen here to perfect some or-
ganization or organizations and to re-
strict them to grading and inspection
work. A plan to have one large or-
ganization taking in the whole South
had many adherents, as did another to
have two organizations with outlined
territorial divisions.

Berlin, Dec. 7.—By wireless to Say-
ville, L. I., Dec. 8.—An official of the
general staff states that the report
from Rome that the French near Ypres,
Belgium, had captured a whole corps of
German aviators is unfounded. Denial
also is made of the London report that
aviators belonging to the allies had
thrown bombs in the Krupp factory at
Essen.
The Russian statement contained in
the official communication of Nov. 29
that the German attack near Czensto-
chowa had failed with heavy losses is
declared to be untrue. On the contrary,
it is said the 17th Russian army corps,
which was met in this attack, was de-
feated Nov. 29 and suffered extremely
heavy losses. The Russians, it is de-
clared, were forced to retreat.
The situation in the western battle-
field shows little change, it is stated.
The allies are said to have made a few
attacks, but these have been repulsed.
News of decisive results in the east is
expected here. The latest reports from
headquarters assert everything is pro-
ceeding according to program. This is
taken here to mean that the opera-
tions thus far have been successful. If
the investment of Warsaw should re-
sult from the present operations, the
Russians would lose their most impor-
tant railway communications.

Then the writer proceeded to show the
findings from milk coming from both
mainland and island dairies. And these
observations follow:
“An inspection of the dairies whose
product shows a consistent low count
reveals, as one would expect, clean
stables, clean milkrooms, and clean
utensils, with attention paid to the
cooling of the milk and the absence of
flies.
“At one of the dairies in this class
We find that the dairyman is making
use of an old stable, but it is kept
scrupulously clean, the milkroom is
clean and screened, and although there
are no screens in the stable, there are
absolutely no flies. At one dairy at
the time of the writer’s visit, it was
found that the milk utensils were be-
ing washed in a portion of the barn,
separated from the stable by a short
passageway, without doors, and the
pails and strainers were covered with
flies. All water for the washing pro-
cess was heated in a kettle out of
doors. They were building a detached
milkroom which would be ready for
occupancy in a short time.

ed, provided the lids can be easily re-

contents or the persons handling them.
Many articles are damaged in the mails
for the reason that they are not prop-
erly wrapped to withstand the neces-
sary handling.
Parcels weighing 20 pounds or under
are generally carried inside mail bags
with other mail; those weighing over
20 pounds are usually carried outside
mail bags. They should be wrapped
with that understanding.
Parcels improperly or insufficiently
wrapped will not be accepted for trans-
mission in the mails.
Umbrellas, canes, golf sticks, and
similar articles must be reinforced by
strips of wood or otherwise sufficient-
ly wrapped to withstand handling and
transportation.

borough in his letter to the farmers in
the 150-mile parcel post zone, “this will

“As a producer you are no doubt de-
sirous of selling your farm and dairy
products. In Galveston there are many
persons anxious and ready to buy fresh
country produce, as we raise practically
nothing on the island. The parcel post,
with its low postal rate and quick serv-
ice, is the medium through which the

85,000 Persons Are Seeking Work in
That City.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 8.-—There are 85,000
persons seeking employment in Chica-
go, according to an estimate today by
Mrs. L. Z. Meder, commissioner of pub-
lic welfare. These are divided ap-
proximately as follows:
Men, 45,000; unmarried women, 25,-
000; married women, 15,000.
Using as the basis of his treatise the
situation at Galveston, Dr. B. L. Arms,
professor of preventive medicine at the
University of Texas Medical college,
who has just returned from the con-
vention of the American Public Health
association at Jacksonville, Fla., read
at that meeting a most interesting
paper entitled “Some Observations on
the Milk Situation in the South.”
Dr. M. L. Graves, another member of
the medical college faculty who attend-
ed the Jacksonville convention, has
also returned home. An exhibit from
the Galveston institution was under
their charge at Jacksonville.
Dr. Arms’ message to the American
Public Health association, on milk and
the milk situation in the South, might
aptly be brought home to the people
with whom it largely dealt—those in
Galveston, where the writer of that
paper made his principal observations
in the development of the topic. It
will be remembered that the milk
situation is just now being given,
locally, more than the usual attention.
“The bacterial count should be used
as an index of the manner of producing
and handling milk, and when a high
count is found the cause should be
sought, for it indicates there is a slip
somewhere.” Thus Dr. Arms began to
summarize in brief a method of
handling the milk problem, continu-
ing: “An inspection will locate the
trouble (that is, determining whether
the high bacterial count is due to the
milk not being kept cold, to age or to
great initial contamination), and a re-
count should be made to determine if
it has been remedied. A combination
of counts and inspection is of the
greatest benefit to the producer as well
as to the consumer, although some of
the former do not so consider them.”
As a basis for his observations, in the
paper which he read at Jacksonville
last vreek. Dr. Arms took Galveston as
a location and the bacterial counts in
1914 up to July 6, as these were all
made by the city bacteriologist, conse-
quently by identical methods.
DIFFERENCES.
Differences in milk conditions in the
North and in the South on account of
temperature differences were pointed
out, and actual temperature figures
Were quoted. Other characteristics of
climate were analyzed, and the physi-
ography of the country was taken up.
“About 35 pei’ cent of the milk con-
sumed in Galveston is produced on the
island within a radius of nine miles of
the city hall, the other 65 per cent com-
ing from the mainland,” said the paper.
“The milk from the mainland is shipped

be made to determine if it has been
remedied. A combination of counts and
inspection is of the greatest benefit to
the producer as well as to the con-
sumer, although some of the former do
not so consider them.
“That this is feasible has been dem-
onstrated most- conclusively at Rich-
mond, where the milk inspector is in
close touch with the dairies, also in
other cities to a more or less marked
degree. Of course, in large cities where
milk is obtained from a wide area it
is not as easy, but still it is being suc-
cessfully done.
“If, after the cause is found, the
dairyman refuses to rectify it, the
proper course is to refuse to permit the
milk to be sold, and recourse to this
procedure has a very wholesome ef-
fect not only on that individual whose
license is taken away, but also on oth-
ers. as they not only do not desire to
be denied a market for a time, know-
ing that if a customer goes elsewhere
he is hard to recover, but also on ac-
count of the stigma attached to the
loss of the license for cause.
“There should be a temperature regu-
lation for the sale of milk, and with
ice at 30 cents a hundred there is no
excuse for not using it. A low tema
perature, as well as pasteurization, is
not to be used as a substitute for
cleanliness in production and handling,
but as an aid in delivering a clean,
wholesome product.
“If milk is produced and handled un-
der proper sanitary conditions and kept
cold there is no reason why the milk
problem1 should be greater in the
Two conditions are causing- America
to rapidly rise from the fifth rank
among the drug producing countries of
the earth. One is the European war,
which has demoralized the drug indus-
tries of Asia, Europe and African coun-
tries. Stern necessity is forcing
America to produce many classes of
botanical and mineral drugs which have
heretofore come from abroad. This is
opening one of the great avenues of
business expansion that this country
will reap from the war. Another fac-
tor is the production of liquid Vitalitas
from the only known deposit of this
remarkable mineral-substance known
to exist. Vast quantities of Vitalitas
are now being turned out from labora-
tories, chemically pure, revolutionizing
the use of medicine in the home.
Vitalitas is a wonderful combination
of mineral properties blended entirely
by Nature and defies synthetic repro-
duction. As a treatment for disorders
of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and
blood and as a tonic no medicinal prod-
uct of the age has proven so effective.
It is not only healing multitudes of
sick, but it is bringing about cures
that are really marvelous in character.
