As it was every effort was made trt make up for the lost time. The enormous de mand for corn and the pressure brought to bear by shippers caused the tratfls departments of the railroads to issue emergency orders. Corn was riven the rigm or way ana snipmenis mm. wouia ordinarily take, three or four days to reach Chicago were . rushed through In iialf that time. . r For awhile a report was current that . one . railroad had promised that corn from all Nebraska points would reucn Chicago within 48 hours after- load ing. xne part tnat oaa roaas piayca in where the "real milk" is delivered, with the death rate In other similar .sections.

The street Is In ; the Fifth ward, and Is only three blocks long, but boasts a population' of I.Z61 people.

Tne decision of the city to undertake the venture is the result of a recent investigation Into the city's mortality which showed some startling conditions. Apnnrilliii to Health - Commissioner r - vaiis.10,09? children underB' year or age died in Chicago ouring me pasi year. A large percentage of these deaths were laid to the use of impure milk. "The serins of disease and decay grow verv rapidly in milk, much more rapid ly than In water." said Dr. Evans. "Germs in- milk will double every 20 minutes, under favorable conditions. This means thst If one germ falls into IS drops of milk. In eight hours It will I contain about 18,000,00 germs. The milk tor a city the else of Chicago is shipped a considerable distance, and in ppnmwnience is 24 hours old -or -more before It is consumed. If it is to come to tjs fit for babies to drink, the great est precautions are necessary.? Energetlo steps are being taken by the municipal authorities to proseoute dealers who sell milk that is not up to th- standard. During the past 18 months 1,629 suits for low-grade product- have been brought against store keepers, and 892 -against millc depot owners. The new model dairy will be situated somewhere outside the city. It will be conducted In accordance with the latext scientific methods, and the milk will be delivered direct to the consumers before it is 11 hours old.

Out of a population of 1,160 In this district, only 81 persons were found who . were under 14 years of age.

Dressmakers aver that they have made a large number this spring, yet the fact remains tnat to date out one unicago woman has had the fortitude to. ap pear on the street In the new garb. Here is the description of her sown: .The costume, which is said to have been Imported from Paris, Is of "Lon don smoke" French cloth.
