A Description of the System in Vogue. in the Co-operative Dairies of Copenhagen. Denmark has attained a distinction of which any nation might be peeled - she ensares to her young children the daily, yearly supply of pure milk, says Marion Jameson in The World's Work. Since more than half of the farms of Denmark are associated with the co-operative dairies, it fol- lows that ideal conditions for milking must obtain practically throughout the country. Milk is the one essential human food. And yet no other factor contri- butes so heavily to mortality as taint- ed milk. Unfortunately this uni- versal food is one of the best breed- ing -grounds for good as well as for dangerous bacteria. Introduced into the purest milk, bacteria increase en- ormously -uncovered milk is always liable to infection. ,leanly milking from the Danish point of view does not begin and end with a clean cow; it is a far cry from the cow to the child's mouth. The milkers, the, pails, the sheds in which the cows are milked,even the walls and•the floors; the transit of the milk from the farufto the retailer, and thence to the consumer, are all in- cluded ncluded in the Danish programme for pure milk. Iran tanks lilaced at different levels; in the bottom tank are three layers of gravel, that in the lowest layer about half the sine of a pea, in the middle layer somewhat *outlier, and in the third or top layer a little larger than a 's head. The layers are separat- ed from each other by perforated tin trays, and on the top of the "tipper - most layer of gravel are six layers of finepincloth. The Cans, The cans, after being filled and weighed, are labelled, tied up with a thread, sealed with a leaden stamp, and taken off to the milk carts for distribution, In the bottling. room the milk is led by a pipe into a machine similar to that used for bottling beer, at just such a rate that it will keep six small tape going. From these taps a skill- ed bottler fills clear glass bottles, each of which holds an imperial pint; as these are filled, they are passed on to a woman, who corks them on to the sealers, who first tie threads across the cork, and then put ona leaden seal, and the bottles are then placed in racks -in boxes put there by dif- ferent vanmen, each one of whom knows the number he requires. It is interesting to note the differ- ence between the "sealed" milk bot- tle of Denmark and that of England, where the milk ie. "sealed" with a small cardboard disc placed in the mouth of the bottle, which a dishon- est dairyman can easily detach and replace. That dreadful, grey, greasy zinc can of the ordifiary English dairy is unknown in Denmark. The company's vans which carry the milk to the consumer are so con- structed that the milk -cans are lock- ed in the van, and can only be drawn through dust -proof taps. The men in charge of the vans cannot tamper with the milk at all The sealed bot - ".The Life History of the Milk -Can. ties of cream and children's milk are The life history of the milk -can in kept in another part of the vehicle in Copenhagen is interesting.

The skimmed milk and ordinary sweet milk are then placed in the cans (as they are) in large ice tanks, after being sampled and tested, there to remain till early next morning, when they are run through a filter, and tapped off into the vessels in which they are to be taken round the town. The cream, after being weighed and sampled, is filtered, and then bot- tled in clear glass bottles, which are laid away in ice until delivery next morning. The "children's milk," so called on account of special precau- tions having been taken to secure its absolute purity and wholesomeness, is likewise put through another filter, and bottled. The Filters. The filter consists of two enamelled lowing manner. They are first rinsed inside with a powerful jet of cold wa- ter, then they are washed with hot water and soda with a brush both in- side and outside; after that they are forced through some strong lime and water, on a wheel, and finally they are placed over a jet of boiling water, which is injected upwards into each one. The bottles as they some in are most carefully washed with hot w-ater and soda; the inside is then scrubbed with a revolving brush and boiling water, and the outside is treated in the same manner with a small hard brush, after which they are carefully rinsed with clean cold water. • rklel' Fall • F ieeiliz4r:s r.;vpW' • Sbq,t!niit Two Reasons Why A Transportation Reason. -So' the dealer can ,order out bis' fertilizer in gars loaded to full capacity, which hold twice as much as average -loaded cars.

Chicago Baltimore The gravel used in the filters is cleaned by boiling and stirring it about in hot water and soda till the water comes off quite clean. It is then steamed at a temperature of about 302 deg. Fahrenheit. The filth that comes from the gravel is aston- ishing and disgusting; yet more care and cleanliness than that shown upon the farms supplying the company could not possibly be observed. Cleanliness of the Workers. The personal cleanliness of the workers is no less insisted on; shower baths are provided, and the employes are expected to use them every morn- ing; their clothes are' constantly changed, and if any infectious disease occurs in any of the workers it is at once reported. Very wisely the werkers are paid full wages while they are on the sick -list, and thus there is no fear of detection or at- tempted concealment of the complaint. Half washed pails, the breath of a consumptive milkman, or the dirty hands of a dairyman are not permit- ted in Denmark to carry death to hundreds of little children. To walk through the airy and spa- cious rooms, to see the wet and shin- ing floors and walls, and the lustre of glittering bottles an& pails is to real- ize the beauty of cleanliness; and the fresh smell of the place, the white clean clothes of the workers and their,, well -scrubbed clogs, give one an idea of the purity of the milk that goes to Danish nurseries. Cuban deposits are estimated to con- tain all the way from 2,000,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 tons of iron ore. ti THE COAL SHORTAGE The anticipated shortage in hard coal affecting thousands of Can -I adian homes may become a reality next winter if consumers delay their Canadian Railways last year faced a severe congestion"; traffic, which was accentuated during the winter months by the demand for furnace coal. In order to prevent if possible a similar .condition next season, the railways are concentrating every of - fort on the supply of coal -carrying equipment. The Canadian Pacific, for instance, has decided to adapt at once and concentrate a considerable portion of additional freight equipment for coal haulage, increasing its capacity during the next six months by cars capable of hauling over a million ad- ditional tons during that period. It is withdrawing a large number of ears from other services, is adapting other types of ears, and has just put into force a new rule under which every foreign coal car is at once returned empty to the mines for fresh coal in- stead of being delayed by loading with return freight, although this meve means added expense. Within a few days the coal mer- chants will thus have prospect of rapid deliveries, but unless consum- ers co-operate by giving their orders to the merchants now 'for their win- ter supplies, then unloading cars quickly, the congestion experienced last winter will be accentuated and. prices may rise to unheard of heights. Consumers are also recommended to be exceptionally careful in the use of coal, avoiding waste and burning wood where possible. The merchants themselves are also being asked to co- operate by having cars loaded to the maximum capacity and by promptly unloading the cars as seen as received, thus releasing them for further ser- vice. The situation apparently -is more serious in the East then in the West, owing to the accepted use of box cars in the latter territory. The supply of the open cars required in the east is,. however, -limited, and unless deliveries are spread more than they have been over the summer months by the re- commended co-operation of consum- ers, the approaching winter will come with tragic force upon the Canadians in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces: The coal, according to Mr. Magrath, is available. The cars, according to the railways, are coming -but will carry the coal only if the orders are known before winter puts on the brakes. - 2 and 5 Ib. Carlene - 10, 20, 50 and 100 ib. Bags.

EDMOND .AUGIER HERO OF FRANCE ONE UNWRITTEN STORY AMONG MILLIONS OF THE WAR, Shot Against a Wall by a Hun Firing • Squad, But Escaped With His .', Life to Happiness. His name ie Edmond Angier. He is a Breton,:,a farmer's son, hardy and strong, one of those of whom it is fiaid in his native province that they have "soul riveted to :the body, and whose heart is of otik," writes Henri Bazin from Paris. He had been a sergeant in the Battalion of the — Chasseurs. In February, 1916, he was on patrol out- side the French lines. His work lay in the open, close to a shattered wood. He heard a noise, and in investigating was separated from his five compani- ons. Advancing cautiously, he found himself suddenly✓confronted by eight Uhlans. Turning quickly, he endeav- ored to escape, but finding.tehis impos- sible he stood ground behind a tree and dropped three of the enemy with revolver and rifle. The .Other five, furious at resistance from a single. man, fell upon him, and after capture tied him to the tail of one of their horses, dragging him at a slow trot within the German lines. Wounded, bruised' and exhausted, that destination wee reached. And then he was taken before an officer, who, after hearing his tale, condemn- ed him to be shot against a wall. Without either food or drink, he was thrown into ea cellar, and at daybreak the next morning led forth for execu- tion with four fellow victims, all civi- lians, all old men, one the Mayor of the occupied village. Augier was ranged alongside them, and a detail, without further ceremony, fired. Feigned Death. Four Pell dead ,and the chasseur fell, too, with five bullets in his body, two in the right leg, two in the right arm and one through the right shoul- der. He had ready wit enough to sink limp to the ground, as if death had come to him as it had to the others, and he lay perfectly still, despite pain, despite the awkwardness of his posi- tion, in which his wounded arm was under the body, and his cheek touch- ing the newly dead shoulder of a fel- low victi In a moment the German officer came up close, looked at the five prostrate men for a second and fired five shots from his revolver, one in each body. The bullet intended for Augier furrowed a ridge to the bane across his forehead. He felt its burn- ing passage, the trickling blood, but lay still as if truly dead. All day he laid there in the cold, suffering, but with gritted teeth waiting for the night. Would they come and bury before darkness? He did not know. He only prayed and thought of his Brittany home, of his mother. With the early dark he cautiously raised his head and seeing no one crawled away, finally after what seemed hours dragging himself to the open beyond the village. There he was found' unconscious by a German patrol during the night, taken. for A member of a French patrol that had been wounded in a skirmish and re moved to a field hospital.'" On the way he asked himself if he would meet the officer or any of the squad that had executed him. • In the hospital he was given medi- cal treatment. The German surgeon looked at his wounds and said the arm would have to be amputated: Angier answered he did not want it done. "Bent itwill be useless and''you may have blood poisoning," was the reply. "Let it be, bandage it, but let it be," answered the soldier from Brittany, Reaps Life's Reward. And so he was sent to the rear and later to a hospital in Germany, and afterward to a prison camp, He suf- fered the tortures of hell during the journey.
