am uot what might bo called a 'crack
rider,' and I had seen tho yeomanry
on parade and in many cases following
the hounds. My word, but they ride
like the wind and look as If they could
go up a church steeple if they got the
order or the hounds showed them the
way'. I felt as I rode along at their
head that every man was inwardly crit
icising my style aud sotting mo down
as a hopeless duffer. It was a horrible
experience, and 1 never want to go
through it again."

DR. DIXON DEFENDS
DAIRY FARMERS
Declares Milk Often Becomes Pol
luted After Leaving Their
Hands on Way to Con
sumer. SANITARY LAWS ARE BROKEN
"Don't lot's put too much blamo on
the farmers," says State Health Com
missioner Dixon In discussing the
question of a puro milk supply, a
problem that Is troubling so many
municipalities throughout Pennsylva
nia. "As an old farmer myself who has
led tho reapers around tho whoa:
field, swinging a cradle and then In
tho evening milking my sharo of the
cows, I am naturally favorable to the
dairy farmer, but It Is tho close stud
of actual conditions that convinces mc
that the flrst dlsoase germs often, per
haps most frequently, get into tho milk
after It has passod out of tho farmer's
control.
"Tho farmer appreciates more today
than over tho necessity of keeping
milk clean. Ho knows that If It
reaches the market sweet and pure
tho domand will bo Increased. He Is
up against a difficult task to make
monoy out of his milk dairy when he
has to constantly buy now cattle to
take the place of those that have
gone dry, become sick or died.
Dairyman's Problems.
"Ho must produco or purchase food
for them, keep up tho stable, pay his
holp, constantly replenlsii his supply
of pans, buckets, etc., and haul this
milk over all kinds of roads, through
all sorts of weather and then receive
for all thlB 4 or 4 cents a quart from
the dealer.
"Tho milk often boglns to receive
pollution on tho railroad, when an at
tendant takes off tho lid of a milk can,
helps himself to a drink and then re
places the lid, drippings of milk which
have reached his Hps going back Into
the can.
"Does this Bound like an exaggera
tion? Let me cite you a case. I ro
member a baggagemaBnr who once
called upon me for medical advice. I
found him suffering with pulmonary
tuberculosis. When I advisctf him to
drink plenty of milk he Informed me
that he was drinking a great deal of
it Ho said he hauled milk In his bag
gago car and that ho was In tho habit
cr drinking cut of the lids of the canr
"At the stations and along the
streets tho milk dealers often purchase
from oach other. The purchaser sticks
his flngor Into the milk and then Into
his mouth to dotormine the swoetnes?
and then Into tho second can until he
tests as many cans of milk as ho pro
poses purchasing.
Unsanitary Methods,
"Only a few days ago a gentleman
came Into my office to tell me ho had
Just witnessed his own milk man hand
a street cleanor a drink of milk con
tained in the lid of his can and thon
replace the lid.
"I have witnessed over and ovor
again milk men collect battles from
their customers, poke the Index flngor

wagon. Trusting that they had been
properly cleansed by the housewife,
the bottles were nt once refilled, caps
taken out of a pocket which also con
tained a handkerchief and thon these
bottles of milk were delivered to the
noxt customers. It Is not worth while
to enumorate othor Instances to make
my point clear, that Is, we must not
confino ourselves to the dairy farm
In looking for conditions that render
milk Impure. Ou municipalities
throughout tho state will havo to keep
their eyes open to tho way In which
the dealers and others are handling
the milk after It has left tho farmor's

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year oponi with a dolugo of now mixed paints. A con
dition brought about by our entorprising dealers to get some kind
of a mixed paint that would supplant OHILTON'S MIXED
PAINTS. Their compounds, being now and heavily advertised,
may find a sale with tne unwary.
TIIIT.ONliY PLACE IN IIONESWALB

Is JADWIN'S PHARMACY.
There aro reasons for the pro-minenco of OHILTON PAINTS;
1st No one can mix a better mixed paint.
2d Tho painters declare that it works easily and has won
derful covering qualities.
3d Chilton stands back of it, and will agree to repaint, at his
own oxpens9,ovory surface painted with Chilton Paint that
proves defective.
4th Those who havo used it aro perfectly satisfied with it
and recommend its uso to others.
Specks Before
The Eyes.
In no part of the body are tho effects of
constipation more quickly noticed than in
the condition of tho eyes. When you see
a yellowish tinge in the whites of the eyes
It shows that the poisonous bile pervades
the whole system ; but it Is the specks and
flitting objects lu the vision itself that aro
even mote quickly apparent. Thousands
of people "see things"; their vision U
blurred, floating specks and spots which
seem almon real pass before the eyes.
Such conditions can always be traced to a
torpid liver and a conjested condition of
the bowels. The only thing to do is to
take Smith's Pineapple and Butternut Pills,
which cure constipation as If by magic.
They regulate tho functions of the liver,
remove tho bilious elements from the cir
culation and strengthen the nerves. II
your eyes are clouded, If you have specks
and floating objects before your vision,
use Smith's Pineapple and Butternut Pills
and get the poisonous elements out of
your blood. Physicians use and recom
mend. They form no habit. You should
always keep them on hand. These little
Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.
