He said that it had been proved that the best creamery butter, by care la shipment, can bo sold In foreign countries on a level with the butters la those countries. The home market is the best. It does not pay to export the best creamery, for higher prices can be obtained here. The trouble is thst there Is such a variation In the quality of dairy butter.

We must start at the production of buttermilk. The farmer must be made to see that it is to his interest to deliver the best milk at the creamery. Creameries themselves must establish a standard of cleanliness. MRS. LOTTIE HUGHES ON TRIAL.

SPRINGFIELD. 111., Jan. 11. Commander E. H.

Harrison's trouble, in the naval militia of the stat culminated today ia the final muster-out of the First battalion, naval militia, located at Chicago, and of which Lieutenant Harrison wss the commanding officer. Commander Harrison's troubles began' over three months ago, when he acted contrary to the orders of his superior officer. Captain B. M. Shaffner.

the commanding officer of the entire naval militia of the state. At that time Commander Harrison refused to turn over the Chicago boathouse of the naval militia, and the property contained therein, to Captain Shaffner. Ths trouble existing between- the officers became public at the tlm of th boathouse fight, sad ended la Commander Harrison being court mar tlaled. Uoder the finding ef the court. Com mander Harrison was relieved from duty for thirty days and given a reprimand.

The order of Adjutant General Reec mus tering out the battalion and ordering Chief of Staff McMillan to organize a new battalion is as follows; "Upon recommendation of the captain commanding the naval force of Illinois, owing to a state of insubordination, opposition to superior officers, and an utter lack of Interest la the organisation, th First battalion, naval militia of Illinois, is hereby mustered out of the naval service of the state. Honorable discharges will be furnished the seamen and petty officers now la the service and affected by the order. All public property and records will be turned over by officers having charge of same to Commander William T. McMillan, chief of staff, naval militia of Illinois, who will make a report of all property received to this office. "Upon the completion of the muster-out of the First battalion, naval militia of Illinois, as directed ia paragraph 1, Commander William T.

McMillan, chief of staff, aavsl militia of Illinois, will enlist and muster into the naval service of the state four divisions of naval militia, to be assigned as the First battalion. When a sufficient number of seamen are enrolled as required by law application will be made tor orders of election for officers. "Th following election, as held by law. Is hereby confirmed: Frederick A. Brookes, to be captain company First Infantry, vice 8wltxer.

"As election la ordered la company F. First infantry, oa Monday, Jaa. 23. for captain. Major J.

M. Eddy. will preside," Order Casiea Little Sarprlse. The order mustering the First battalion of the naval militia of Illinois out of the state aervic doe not surprise me," said a promi nent politician who was a field officer of aa Illinois regiment during th Spanish war. "Governor Tanner was too good soldier himself to brook a slight to sny officer whom he had appointed.

There is no doubt that Captain. Shaffner was distasteful a number of his officers, sad thst they have tried to snub him upon every possible occasion. But he wss appointed by the Governor, and hia authority should have been respected. The trouble date back to th election of General McNult to the naval board la He and Goveraor Taaner, although members of the same political party, have sever seea things la exactly the same light, sad both are strong and aggressive. When war was declared Governor Tanner do doubt saw a chance to deal his opponent a body blow by appointing Shaffner commander the stat naval militia.

Th members of the naval militia applied for leaves of absence and enlisted In the regular service, not as a state organization, but as Individuals. This gave them the opportunity to get behind the guns in the big warships, aad they cam home crowned with the smoke-wreaths of glory from one of the greatest naval battles fought in the world's history. Th states which seat out their naval militia as sa organisation had to be satisfied with having their men on auxiliary cruisers, guarding harbors, or coast defenses. The Tsnner-McKulta quarrel brought the brave bluejackets of this state unexpected distinction Fight la Renewed After the War. "When they came home everybody seemed to have forgotten the trouble between the Governor and the McNult a faction.

But It was sooa evident that the fight wss to be continued. Few of the 800 men who served In the war kaew Shaffner or MeNulta. but they were homo only a short time before they began to exhibit an entire lack of respect for the commander whom the Governor had appointed. Governor Tanner naturally laid this disrespect to the coaching of General MeNulta. and the old duel was renewed.

Governor Tsnner felt that disrespect shown to aa officer commissioned by him was aa Insult to himself, and that the officers of the First battalion should treat the commander of the state militia with th respect due his rank, no matter bow they might feel toward him personally. But they did not do this. It seems. While they didn't openly disobey his orders, they evaded them and Ignored him as far as they could. "When the jubilee parade was being made up.

Commander Shaffner was not Invited to appear with his men la the procession. But he went to the armory and rode at the head of the blue jackets on his own responsibility. The meo were ordered out to meet the second detachment of th boys coming home without so much as consulting Captain Shaffner. their commander. He Issued aa order at the last moment denying them permission to go aa an organisation, but they went as Individuals, and General MeNulta, the Governor's pronounced opponent, welcomed the naval heroes at the head of the Governor's men.

"This all happened here at home, and while It probably nettled the Governor, It might hav had no serious climax had It not teen for the following paragraph, published recently in the Army and Navy Register, Washington, D. 1 Petltlen for Katlonnl Militia. 'Representative Foss Is la receipt of a petition, the first of its kind to reach Washington. In behalf of ths bill for a national naval reserve. The petition Is signed by all th officers of the Chicago ship crew or naval militia, most of whom served in the navy during the Spanish war.

A woman's health is her best and most precious endowment. Her good looks, ber enjoyment of life, her happi ness, aad lov and its continu ance all depend, upon bef health. Call it vanity it you will, it Iss sa woman's duty to worship at the shrine of her mirror. It is ber duty to preserve ber rood looks sad youthful spirits as long as possible. The woman who suffers from some weak ness or aeranrement of the organs distinctly feminine, can note the dailv encroachments of general ill-health, by looking in her mirror.

The sallow or blotched complexion, heavy eyes and dark circles under them, the little wrinkles that gradually creep around the corners of her eyes and mouth and the general look of lxstlessness aad despondency will tell the story. Special troubles of this kind are too frequently neglected because the natural and proper modesty of women keep them from consulting the average run of physicians. These men, because they are without inherent delicacy themselves, imagine that women are the same. They insist upon obnoxious examinations and local treatment from which any sensitive woman shrinks.

To enlist in the National reserve the coascut Jf th Governor would have been necessary. They could oot be la the service of the stat and th United States, subject to orders of both at the same time. So the Governor's action will result la our having a Stats Naval militia and a National Naval reserve force here.

This difficulty In time of war Is overcome by giving to the stat forces an indefinite and. Irrevocable leave of absence to enter Into th United States service. During this time th state has no nower over them. It is orobabl that most of. these men who have bees out reserve it the pending measure is passed, which It seems quits certain It will be." The order of Governor Tanner will la no way affect the civil naval organization, which will continue Its work la looking after the interests of the -men who went to the war, and, their famliies.

He wss evidently not considered. Why do the mea object to Shaffner? the organization waa disrupted once when he was at the head of and while he may not have been to blame, many think it was his fault." The property to be turned over to the new organisation will be the government arms, ia the armory, and one steam launch, one sailing launch, two cutters, one whalebost, one gig. one dingey. The officers In charge claim that the boathouse at the foot of Randolph street, several boats, and all the appurtenances are the property of the Naval Reserve association. Between $7,000 and S8.000 will be held by this organization as its private property.
