Competition Keen, According
to Health Officials.
DAIRY EFFICIENCY SOUGHT
18
tronsamers trged to Consult Rattf-s
Published and Make Sure of
Getting Quality Product.
Ratings of milk delivered lor tie in
Portland compiled by Dr. D. W. Mack,
in charge of the milk bureau, indicate
keen competition among milk produc
ers and distributors for high, ratings.
Few of the producers are below SO.
while the majority range between 90
and 100 per cent. The ratings were re
leased for publication yesterday by City
Health Officer Parrish.
Portland's method of milk inspection
is to collect samples regularly from
each distributor and rate each firm on
the basis of these samples. In comment
ing on the ratings Dr. Mack issued the
following public statement:
"If the public will withhold its pat
ronage from inefficient dairymen and
dealers and give it to the better class,
it is a sure and inexpensive way to
eliminate the poorest quality of milk
from our market: On the dairy the
quality of the milk is proportional to
the efficiency of the men who handle
and milk the cows. In the milk plant
it is the men in charge of the pasteur
ization machines etc., that determine
the quality of the product. So, in a
measure, the ratin is a gauge of hu
man efficiency. The best men de
serve public appreciation and public
patronage.
Keen Competition Shown.
"Every consumer should look over
ths list of ratings and be sure that he
is receiving milk from a good dairy
man. The large list of distributors rat
ing above 30 shows that competition is
keen for first place.
"It costs more to produce pure milk
than just ordinary milk, and it is worth
more. No food can be. purchased for
the price of a quart of milk that will
furnish anything like the amount of
real nourishment for the human body.
Most Portland consumers could double
their milk supply without increasing
the total cost of their food and a
healthier community would result."
The complete ratings shown in the
local milk contest, Ausuat 1, are as. fol
lows: Certified Milk.

"The Mormon Prophet"

Salt Lake City, Utah. .
Xotei For free copies of other articles of thta serlea, send request to the author
The names that live, as titles of dis
tinction in the memory of the race, are
of men whose message to the world is
in a manner new. whose mission is spe
cific and distinctive.
The man of whom we speak, Joseph
Smith, is one whom men can neither
forget nor ignore, try as they may. His
place in history is secure; whether he
ba known for good or for evil his work
Is recognized as that of a mission pe
culiarly his own. ,
The message he bore, the labor he
performed anions; his fellows, the claims
he made as to authority and appoint
ment, have been questioned and ana
lyzed with keenest care and in most
exacting detail, at the hands of both
friends and opponents.
Few indeed are the historic incidents
in which so many questions of supreme
importance to mankind have turned
upon the personality and claims of an
Individual, as are associated with the
life and labors of the man, Joseph
Smith.
While yet a lad he appeared on the
stage of human notice, declaring;, in
grentle tone and simple words, that he
had been personally visited and in
structed by the Kternal Father and by
Jesus Christ.
If the basis of this solemn declara
tion be delusion or Illusion, if Joseph
Smith intentionally or involuntarily
thus proclaimed a falsehood,, in short,
if he was himself mistaken and was
to others a deceiver, then the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is
the embodiment of hypocrisy and de
ceit. On the other hand, if the testimony
of the boy, if the life-work of the man,
with its tragic close in the cruel scenes
of martyrdom, if these be genuine and
true, then the perpetuity of the Church
is assured, its bold claim as the re
pository of the Holy Priesthood is
proved, its authority is vindicated and
its sanctity confirmed.
The evidence of Divine authority In
the work established by Joseph Smith.
and of the justification of the claims
made by and for the man, may be sum
marlzed as follows:
1. Ancient prophecy has been ful
filled in the restoration of the Gospel
and the reestablishment of the Church
of Jesus Christ upon the earth, through
his Instrumentality.
2. He received by direct ordination
and appointment, at the hands of those
who were empowered in former aispen
aatlons, the authority to minister In the
various ordinances ol tne Crospel.
3. His possession of the power of

While few people outside the Church
have had much to say in commendation
of this modern prophet, it is interesting;
to note mat tnere are some honorable
exceptions. Josiah Quincy. a prominent
American, made the acquaintance of
Joseph Smith a short time before the
latter's martyrdom; and after the tragic
event he wrote as follows:
"It is by no means improbable that
some future text-book, for the use o
generations yet unborn, will contain a.
question something like this: What his
torical American ot the nineteenth cen
tury has exerted the moat powerful in
fluence upon the deatinlea of hla coun
trymen f And it is by no means impos
sible that the answer to that inter
rogatory may be thus written: Joseph
Smith the Mormon Prophet. And the
reply, absurd as It doubtless seems to
most men now living, may be an ob
vious commonplace to their descend
ants. History deals in surprises and
paradoxes quite as startling as this.

"Joseph Smith, claiming to be an in
spired teacher, faced adversity such as
few men have been called to meet, en
joyed a brief sc-ason of prosperity such
as few men have ever attained, and,
finally, forty-three days after I saw
him, went cheerfully to a martyr's
death. When he surrendered his person
to Governor Ford, in order to prevent
the shedding of blood, the Prophet had.
a presentiment of what was before him.
'I am going like a lamb to the slaugh
ter," he is reported to have said, 'but I
am calm as a summer's morning. I
have a conscience void of offence, and
shall die innocent.' " (Josiah -Quincy's
