(Continued from first paare. one sample of "milk" obtained at a restaurant in Philadelphia gave Dr. McDonnell 7.O0 and another 6.40 of bntter fat, clearly indicating that the sample came from the restaurant "cream'1 pot and not the milk pitcher. In Philadelphia the lowest grade of milk was fonnd in the restau rente. where the average of butter fat waa only 3.30.

The average from the wagon samples was 3.59. The highest average of the Phila delphia samples waa from those selected at the railroad depotat presumably before tbev bad gotten into tne bands 01 those who practice adulteration in the city. In Pittebnrg the highest average of butter fat was found in the railroad sta tion samples and the lowest in the reatan rants, the former showing an average of 3.71 or butter tat ana tne latter but iW7. In Harrisbnrg the highest amounts of butter tat were found in tne samples selected at railroad stations and tA lowest at restaurants, the former giving 4.7a of butter tat and the latter bnt 2.6O, In Scranton tne beet samples were se lected from the wagona, they giving percentage of 4.15 of butter fat. The poorest samples came from restanranta.

witn bnt s.M 01 butter rat. In the New York samples the best were found in the wagons, the average belne 4.20 or bntter rat: tne lowest earn pies were those taken at restaurants, the average Deing only a.ou 01 natter let, In bis report to Secretary Edge, Dr. McDonnell usee the following language "In Philadelphia and New York the supply is remarkably good, especially when we consider the distance much of the milk most be shipped, and tha fact that the city authorities are unable to in spect tbe neras. barns ana Doni "The worst milk was found in Pitta burg. The number ot bacteria per cnbic centimeter was ionr times aa gteat as the average for all Pennsylvania, or of New York city and Philadelphia, yet the temperature was on an average aix degrees lower while the investigation waa made in Pittebnrg than it waa in the larger citiee.

Neither is the Pittsburg milk snippea aa great aiotancee as tnat for tha two other cities named, and for this reason the milk eupply ebould be materially better. The milk shipped to Philadelphia and New York ie probably bandied more carefully by tne producer tnan tnat sent to 1'ittsbnra. aud aa whole it ia undoubtedly kept better after reaching the city than that of many other citiee." In referring to the inspection of dairies Dr. McDonnell advisee Secretary Edge as follows: lielore onying milk from dairies with which they are anae qnainted a number of the wholesale dealers in Philadelphia) have the herds exemined to see that the animals are free from disease affecting the wbole aotnaness of the milk; they have the water and food supply examined, and ex amine the cleanliness of the stables. milk coolers, cane, pails and other utensils, ana ascertain regarding freedom of the employee from infections or contagions diseasee; that they handle the milk propeily after receiving it at the depots." Dr.

McDonnell gives the following ad vice aa to inspection of the dairies and the comparative quality of tha milk of the different cities: "Such an inspection should be mads of all milk supplies, and In addition to tbat Plttaburg, Altoona ana Harrisbnrg are in especial need of such inspection. Ths milk of Kcranton. Erie. York and Head ing is much better than tbat of Pitts burg, Altoona, Allegheny and Han is borg. "whils there ia practically the asms anmher of organisms in tha milk of Altoona and Harrisborg aa ia that al Philadelphia and New York city, the age of the milk received by the latter cities is considerably greater when received by the patrons, and the large number of organisms lonnd In tbe fresh milk certainly shows a lack of cleanliness." The report covers the careful analyses of over 3SO samples of milk, selected at numerous points In ths Htate, and ia one of tbe most exteneive ever taken under Htate authority.

Ita results will certainly call the attention of milk dealers and prodaeera to the great importance of protecting onr milk eopplies from contagion an 'in lamination. 1 THIS IIJEAJOIKG DAILY TIMES ANI DISPATCH, IlEADIITG, PENNA, JANUARY CLEARING SALE AT S.

Long before the Our stock is large, Hence tne advantage to close buyers it means low prices, money savea i the chain in front of the stage were mied in buying is money saved to the consumer, with ladles anxiously awaiting tne appearance of Mrs. Korer. The audience kept on increasing at each a rate that the management was almost at its wits end how to nroenre enongb seating ea parity, and attendants were despatched to IOOK Dp every avauaoie onsir ana bring it out. On the stage in the rear of the scenery were piled a number of fold inir chairs, and these were hustled out and appropriated almoet as quickly aa they were brougni ro view, many wnen no further seating accommodations could be Brocnrsd. the late comers contented themselves with the throng silent so aa not to lose a word of wbst was said, and numerous were tne botes made by ladies.

roe suDiect lor me aicernoou Bread." She said tbat if bread must constitute one of the articles of food it would be beet to nae brown or whole wheat bread, aa it contains all the eral matter of tbe wheat, and is a perfect food. The pbospnate ot lime lost in tne white floor is a valuable nutrient to tbe bones, teeth and tissues. Bread ahonld be liabt, even and porous, not spongy, It should not upon pressure go into small mass and then fly np upon relief. Such bread becomes wadded into an soluble mass by ohewing, and is not pen etrated bv the saliva. It ferments anew in the stomacu, ana win even in a strong person produce in time a disagreeable form of heartburn.

Bake your bread well, in small loaves. Allow them to cool without cover that the moisture may evaporate and tbe crust become crisp. Bad bread baa mucn to answer lor in this conntrv. Almost all cases of aour stomach and indigestion may trace their oriirin to soft, over light bread. Observa tion among tne animal ainguom snows tbat tbe carnivore rarely bave touercu losis.

while tbe srain eaters are particu larlv prone to thia form of disease. uberculosis in tne numsn auDject is most frequently found in staron and an Ear. fed subiects. Our bread then is of great importance, and should be well made lrom good ma terials. A mixture of milk and water makes tbe best moisture, a little more yeast than is ordinarily used, aod a short period of incubation is best.

Allow four hours from the kneading or lirst sponge to tbe bakmg. For children or invalids Dread snouta be pulled or twice baked, so tbat masti cation becomes necessary. The first stop to the digestion ot bread ia in tne moutn; It underaoes no particular cnange in tne stomach, unless tbat of a new fermenta tion from lack of mouth digestion. Tbe eolden rule is then, chew each mouthful of bread at least 30 times before swallow ius it. I shall now demonstrate the best French and German methods of making bread France ranks first in bread mak ing: Germany second.

From lack of law and system, of course, we bave a lot of bad bread. She then began ber practical demon at ration of bow bread ebould be coi pounded, tor which she selected whole wheat bread, for which she observed tbe following: Pint of milk, pint of water. teaspoonlnl 01 salt, one yeast caae sua about three quarts of whole wheat flour. Make a sponae. and when light knead in sumcient wnoie wneat nour to maae a dough: put at once into the pans.

When light again, bake in moderately quick oven tbree qnartera of an hour. White bread was next taken up, for wbicb tbe following recipe waa ob served: Ponr one pint of boiling water into ona pint of milk. Wben Inkewarm add a teaapoonful of salt and one yeaat cake dissolved. Add sufficient whole wheat flour to make a dongb; knead un til soft and elaatic; cover and stand aaide for three houra.

Separata tha ernm into halves, then into eiahtbs; put tbe bita in a baking nan lined witb paper, dry slowly until a golden brown ana crisp to id. very centre.
