The decision is favor- ble to the contention made by Haudley the Standard Oil case. The opinion, jtten by Justice Sanborn, sets forth: “It is mot the duty of an auxiliary court or Judge, within whose jurisdic- tion the testimony is being taken in a sult pending in a court of another ju- w risdiction, to consider or determine the compeétency, materiality or relevancy | of the evidence which one of the par- ties seeks to elicit. It is the duty of such court or Judge to compel the pro- ductian of the evidence, unless the wit- ness or the evidence is privileged, or it clearly and affirmatively appears that it would be an abuse of the process of the court to compel its production.” —ee.

The most | practical standard for the estimation of | cleanliness in the handling and care of | milk is its relative freedom from bacteria. | The commission has fixed upon a maxi- | mum of 10,00 germs of all kinds to the {cublc centimeter, which must not be ex- ceeded. This standard must be attained | solely by measures directed toward per- fect cleanliness, proper cooling and prompt delivery. At the opening of the circular the aims of the Milk Commission are described as follows: ““The Milk Commission appointed by the San Francisco County Medical Soclety to aid in improving the milk supply of San Francisco invites the co-operation of the milk dealers and farmers in attaining that end. The Milk Commission intends | to certify to the purity of milk that which comes up to a certain standard, | and to provide for the protection of both | dairymen and users of milk by preserib- ing rules by which that standard of purity is to be attained, including the seal- ing of each bottle of certified milk with a special cap. It proposes further to ar- range for systematic inspection of the dairies furnishing certified milk by com- | petent veterinarians, bacteriologists and chemists. The milk certified by the com- | mission must contain not les than 3.50 other characteristics of pure, wholesome milk. Milk must not be sold as cerl(fied‘ more than twenty-four hours after the | time of miiking."” Some otHer provisions that have been approved by the Milk Commission ar- as follows: “In «14ur that dealers who incur the expense and take the precautions neces- sary to turnisi a truly clean and whole- | some milk may have some means of bringing these facts before the public, the commission offers them the right to use caps on their milk jars Stamped with the words, ‘Certified by the Milk Commis- | sion of the San Francisco County Medl- cal Soclety. The dealers are given the right to use these certificates when their milk is obtained under the conditions re- quired by the commisston and conforms to its standards. The sealed cap to be authorized by the commission must be used on all ‘certified milk.’ These caps will be sent only to the farm where the milk is bottled. The name of the farm from which the milk comes must appear on the bottle ‘cap. Fach bottle of milk must bear the date & time of bottling. The conditions requ in order to ob- | tain a certificate of the commission shall be as follow “In order dealer and the kept informed of | the of the milk specimens taken at random will be examined .at intervals by experts appointed by the be | commission. 1. The commission ~Te~ | serves to itself the right to-make: in- hections of certified farms at any Lime |and to take specimens of the milk for { examination, and to withdraw its cer- tificate for repeated or deliberate wio- lations of the requirements of the com- mission. The commission also re- | serves the right to change its stand- ards in any reasonable manner upon | due notice being given to the dealers. | 3. The expense of making the regular milk reports and the inspections are to be borne by . the dairymen. 4. The | names of the dairymen who comply | with the requirements of the commis- | | | | sibn will be printed on cards and sent ach month to all members of the San | Francisco County Medical Society.” The regulations that have been pro- vided deal with everything that relates to the care of cows, the cleanliness of milkers, the care of milk, etc. Icing is ,pruhmlu-d. The collection of empty bottles and milk tickets from houses where an Infectious disease is known | | to exist must be made by other per- | sons and other vehicles than those de- | livering the milk. Certificates by the | commission is based upon the observ- ance of all the rules. ——————— NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The Sub-Treasury to-day made a telegraphic transfer of §2,000,- n Francisco. ADVERTISEMENTS. WHAT SULPHUR DOES For the Human Body in Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. . Jt was the universal spring and fall “blood purifier,” tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large uantity had to be taken to get any ef- ect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con- centrated form, so that a single grain 18 far more effective than a tablespoon- ful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experi- ment have proven that the best sul- hur for medicinal use is that obtained rom Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and fold in drug stores under the namec of Stuart's Calcjum Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the active medicinal principle ot sulphur in & highly concentrated, ef- fective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifies and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimina- tion of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molas- ses’every spring and fall, but the crud- ity and impurity of ordinary flowers ot sulphur were often worse than the dis- ease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparationg of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calcium Wa- fers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. 3 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidngy troubles and cure con- stipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and [phy- siclan alik Dr. R. M." Wilkins while experiment- hur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was Su- perior to any other form. He says: “For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially ‘'when resulting from consti- pation or malaria, I have been sur- prised at the resuits obtained from Stuart’s Caleium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have re- peatedly seen them dry up and disap. | pear in four or five days, leaving the iskm clear.and_smooth. Although Stu- ing with sul art’s Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physi- cians, yvet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney . troubles and especially .in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy.” At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called - blood “_'eurlfleru" will find in Stuart’s Calcium afers, a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Criticisms have reached the Navy Department from official sources of what is re- garded at Mare Island nav yard as slow progress on tne dry dock there. These complaints, however, are not se- riously regarded in the department, since it is realized that the present contractors, who succeeded to an aban- doned job, have worked faithfully on the project, considering the fldv?rse conditlons attending the work. The same contractors have been engaged in the completion of a dock at League Is- land navy yard. The dock at League( Island will be the next structure of its kind to be taken over by the Govern- ent. mThere will probably be some delay in the work on the Oregon when that ves- sel arrives "at Puget Sound from the Aslatic station. The alterations are so extensive that it is likely nothing will now be done until the vessel can be carefully examined and a report made on its condition. It will probably be necessary to Obtain for the Oregon a special appropriation for repairs. —_————————— DR.

PBEORTA, Ill., Feb. 10.—The widow of | the late Dr. Simmons opened the private safe deposit box of the suicide this morn- ing and found that the box, which it had been expected would contain valuable papers, was empty with the exception of an unimportant business letter. A cer- tificate of sale for $30,000 worth of Monon Cereal stock now on deposit, an asset of the People's Bank, which was thought to be in the box, was not found, and it is now feared that the sale which Dr. Sim- mons told his friends had been made, was not bona fide. No will has been found, but policies for heavy insurance thought to have been carried, are missing. The.failure to verify the sale of Monon stock has greatly de- preciated the assets of the People’s Bank, now in bankruptey. —e—e——————— OIL TRUST CORPORATION LOSES MISSOURI CONTRACT Independent Dealers Favored Despite the Fact That They Were Underbid. .
