Columbus, O., ITob. 32. Tbo itato
graft probo commlttco has found evl
donco to show that tho grafting oper
ations of Mark Slater wero not en
tirely confined to his business
transactions with J. H. Brolsford,
but wore carried into practically nil
tho purchases mado by him during tho
second term of his administration.
In some of tho othor purchases
made by Slater from supply houses In
Cincinnati and Chicago, the graft ran
high, In somo cases to as much as 800
per cent of tho vnluo of tho goods
actually purchased.
In no subsequent caso cximlnod,
however, has thcro been found a bill
paid whero no goods at all wero de
ltvorcd, as was found In ono lnstanco
in tho Bralsford transactions. Still
tho rake offs wero many and largo. It
should be stated that so far ns tho
investigation has gono, nothing has
been found to challcngo tho Integrity
of tho other supply houses that sold
goods to Slater. Tho rake-off went to
tho agency through which thoy wero
sold, nnd It is presumed that the
agent divided It with Slater.
Whllo tho open meetings of tho
committee havo so far had to do only
with tho state printing department,
tho commltteo lint been delving Into
other state departments and In at
least thrco others has secured evl
donco that commissions wero paid to
poisons In them on goods purchased
by the state. Moro than that, In many
cases It Is found that tho goods se
cured did not run up to tho amount
paid, and-1 tho presumption Is that the
commission was really paid as
"sugar" to tho department to O. K.
bills higher than they should havo
been.
Wire Interests Heard.

The annual fight to abolish tho vari

Its nppcaranco -In tho form of a
Joint resolution presented by Rep
resentative Smith of Marlon coun
ty, In which ho proposes that tho ca
nals shall bo sold und tho monoy de
rived from their sale dovotod to tho
Improvement of tho public highways
of tho stato. Tho salo is to bo con
ducted by the state boards of public
works and auditor of state, and tho
money thus realized turned Into tho
stnto troasury to tho crodlt of publla
highway Improvement fund.
According to Mr. Smith tho canals
havo no placo in modorn means of
transportation, thoy nro entirely use
less nnd tho money oxpunded on thorn
Is nn absolute wasto, whllo all tho
people would, get somo bcnoflt from
Improved roads and highways.
Tho resolution reeltos that tho ca
nnl3 cost tho stato about $20,000,000
originally, and that In latter years tho
appropriations havo been from $-100,-000
to $500,000 a year for tholr im
provement, with no npproclablo ben
efit to oven tho pcoplo living around
tho route of tho cnnals.
No ono knows tho vnluo of tho ca
nals of tho state, but It Is suppotcd to
bo vory great and, in addition to
placing this immcuso sum to tho
credit of the highway fund, Mr. Smith
proposes that appropriations bo mndo
annually equal to tho amount now ap
propriated for tho maintenance of tho
en1' ,1s, to keep tho roads In ropalr.
Ho would havo that dono this year.
This lesolutlon will bring to tho city

havo water privileges, but thoso also

To Inspect Children.
A bill to provide that ovcry child In
tho public schools of the stato shall
bo examined and tested once n yonr
for sight, hearing nnd nbstiuctlons In

santntlVo Benso, It provides that tho
examination shall bo by tho teachers

of health, but that any board of edu

Facts About Milk Only Per
fect Food
Somo Idoa of the lmportanco of
milk as human food may bo gained
from tho fact that about ono sixth of
tho total food of average family is
furnished by its products.
Of tho various mammals whoso milk
lo used for food in different parts of
tho world may bo mentioned tho goat
in tho hilly districts of Europo; tho
buffalo, in India; tho llama, In South
Amorlca; tho camel In desert coun
tries, and tho mare on tho steppes of
Russia nnd Central Asia. Sheep's
milk Is used In somo countries for
making cheese, nnd in othor ways,
and tho milk of reindeers is common
ly used ns food In the Arctic regions.
With us tho milk of cows so far sur
passes nil other kinds in lmportanco
that unless othcrwlso specified tho
word milk Is takon to refer to cow's
milk only.
Good, unadulterated milk should
contain about 87 per cent of water and
13 per cent solids.
Milk contains bacteria of many
kinds and In varying numbers. They
causo to souring of milk as well r.a
tho ripening of cream and cheese, and
produce many other changes in tbo
appearanco and flavor. The number
present in freshly drawn milk varies
enormously with tho conditions of
milking, nnd, as thoy aro greatly
lncrcasod with dirty nnd careless
handling, cleanliness In all matters
portalning to tho mljklng and market
ing of milk and keeping it in the
home cannot bo too strongly Insisted
on.
Dlsoaso germs, notably those of ty
8

PAP
phoid, dlphthorla, scnrlot fevor nnd
tuberculosis, may also bo carrlod In
milk, so that tho purity of tho milk
supply is of vital lmportanco to ovory
family nnd community.
Tho problora of keeping milk sweet
Is ono of checking tho growth of tho
bactorla, nnd ns thoy nro Innctlvo at
a tompornturo below 60 Fnhr., milk
should bo kept in a cool place. Two
common methods for preserving milk
aro pasteurization nnd Gtorlltzatlon.
In tho former tho aim is to apply
heat In such a way ns to kill most
of tho bacteria without producing un
dcslrablo changes in tho milk; In tho
latter, to apply enough heat to kill nil
tho bacteria, but with tho lcats possl
bio undcslrablo cbango. Chemical
preservatives 1 nmilk nro considered
Injurious to health and aro forbidden
by puro food legislation in many
states.
Whnt is commonly known as tho
richness of milk depends upon tho
amount of butter fat it contains. Thcro
Is so much difference In tho composi
tion of milk from different cows that
many huge butter and eheeso' factor
ies now test all tho milk they buy
and pay for It according to its butter
fat contained.
Mother's milk is best adapted by nn
turo to tho nourishment of infants.
Cow's milk is the most common sub
stitute and when necessary Is artific
ially modified to mako it rcsomblo
human milk.
Tho value of milk for adults Is In
combination with othor foods, not as
a bovorag'e merely, but to supply In
patt tho material needed tor tho body.
Unless exceedingly high prices aro
paid for it milk is fully as economical
a source of nutrimont as other ani
mal foods, but dearer than most staplo
vegetable products. Milk, however,
roqulres no preparation, has no wasto
and Is moro thoroughly digested than
most vegetable foods.
