f Milk Talk No. 2.
CLEANLINESS
As milk It the natural food for -the
young, containing within itself all
. the requirements of the body, and
as aoy adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially the young, depend tp a
great extent upon those who handle
the. milk.' And 'as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
from 'the cow. "Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before" using it as a
food for the baby. .

Germs constitute the chief and sole
cause of fevers, in the minds of the gen
eral public;' and even with some poorly
read doctors. Something to kill the germs
is the public cry, and these poorly read
physicians often ostensibly give something
for the purpose. Yetltisknovnfull well
that any drug used internally that will kill
germs will also destroy the cells of the
body and ever) lift itself.
True, germs are a cause of fever, but
are secondary. ' Germs cannot propagate
or even live except the resistance . of the
issue be weakened. Tnie weakening,
then, is the first cause and the one to be
attended to. Nature, in the white blood
cells, has provided ample protection
against germs. These cells, under the
microscope, may be seen containing many
germs which they have encased and
killed.
What then is the logical treatment?
First, the Osteopath corrects the dis
placements that weaken the blood flow
through the part where the germs have
located and multiplied. Then he stimu
lates the blood making organs that this
army of white blood cells may be in
creased. In this way are the germs
killed and the fevers aborted.

HIS HOPES liL'ASTKi).
This la the true story of a dlsoour-
iged and wrecked humorist The vle
Jm hae recovered entirely and counts
t as one of the fortunate things of his
lie that, as a runny man, he as ship
wrecked early. -t ' k - - . f
A few years ago there w.-s a student
in one or tne leadltx unlversltUs for
who the unthinking tart of the fac
ultyany university has some profess
ors not guilty of thinking much pre-
Jicieu nat tbsy called a brilliant fu
ture. The young man heard of what
-hey mid and balievml It ton.
Ha was known as the college wt. He
wrote alleged humorous pieces for the
college publications, and when be
made speeches at-college dinners his
auditors were convulsed. Every one
seemed to like the youngster whose
name might be McAndrews, although
It Isn't
McAndrews was all the more popular
because he was working his way
through college. He had lived most of
his life tn New Jersey.' One day he
was approached for a contribution for
nn athleUo fund. 4 1 ; .
. He frankly said he hadn't any money
to spare, but be would give a public
humorous leoture In the town hall If
the university would rally round him.
When he announced that hie subject
would be "New Jersey travels In an
unknown and foreign land." there was
an Immediate promise to- rally.
And rally that university did. Word
was passed around that it-was going
to be a great sbow The irlna rlnh
f lltrt ttnrtti in mn. nM
J 13 "ley In general and on McAndrews
In particular. '
There was a large advance sale ot
ticket. McAndrews rose to the occa
sion. He worked early and late in
writing funny things into the lecture.
He calloted all tbe alleged humorous
things ever printed about New Jeriey
and rewrote them as bis own. He
picked out all the peculiarly named
Places In tbe state, such as Hohokus.
and made them the scene of the
things he talked about
McAndrews wasn't et'iroly sstliUed
with the word he wrote and soon de
cided that he must fortify them. He
got n old brick and pounded tt up
fine. ' Tbeo be took some whue sand,
that he got from a saloonkeeper, and
mixed It with the pulverised brick. He
bottled the mixture, sorted the bottles
and . labeled, tbem a samples- of New
Jersey soli, to be passed around In the
audience. t
Something more was Deeded, and so
be got some brown color flasks, filled
them v. ith water and labeled them
Jersey Ughtnlng Tanglefoot Brand,"
These also were to be passed around.!
lo add a finishing touch to the hl
enty ot tbe evening McAndrews had a
Jiap made, dividing New Jersey into
three districts, wblc be called the
.vloaqulto, Cranberry and Backwoode
Jiairicts. Then be bad stereopticon
views made ot the mosquitoes, the life
else representations of which were as
. big as barn doors. - ,
The nignt of the lecture came The

ever one bis sentences was greeted
an mjgnter or audible chuckles. His
stereopUcou pictures caused shouts ot
joy. , .;, . : .. ;
His samples of tbe soil and Jersey

oesleged ay scores with their congast
ulattons. '
The university president irenerousvy
eald it was the most distinguished aud
ience assembled in that . town, with
the exception of one that George WU.
Ham Curtis once bad. As humorist,
McAndreve was a howling success.
I be enn i:al assity was sure of the
curllllaut eteao availing him.
In that audience was a college girl,
ibe chainimu ot too lecture commutes
jt a neighboring girl college. She,
too. caught the enthusiasm of the mo.
mem and offered McAndrews the mu
nlflceni sum ot 126 to come to lecture
to the girls.
He snapped It up as quickly a a
get-rlch-quic man doe easy money
it was llke finding a gold mln. j
Th girl chairman went . home to
ncom the lecture. She advertised Mc
Andrews as the renowned wit of his
university the coming humorist of the
United State, the only legitimate uc
essor tnat Mark Twsln would eve
have. ','
Th night of thai lecture came on'
the lecture, was given In the college
chapel, on of thus, cold, blue placet
that are omm!rae found In Institu

The college president sat on the plat
orm and his face was grave. HI
hole aspect seemed to say:
Young man, tals is a holy place,
-et no undue levity be attempted
iiere."
McAndrew rve the lecture, and the
audience htugiivd. Just once, ,
Year late,, when McAndrews came
to know Mark Vwaln,he plucked up
courage to write Mr. Clemens to know
It be would look that lecture over and
say whether there was really anything
lunny in it. He got letter In reply
telling him to send It along.
Mr. Clemen, f-. turned the manuscript
ater with U remark tlvt It was
quite good." McAndrews then and
