Rumots of Borden Company Increasing Its Capital to $126,000,000 and to Aid in Controlling Supply for Greater New York, HOW MILK TRUST MAY ADD $12,000,000 TO ITS GREAT PROFITS, Quarts of milk received in New York Inat y: tail price of six cents a quart, ooo B85252,000 $6 905,106,155 + 26,004,608 +e 511,026 +s 15,400,156 auart by the Milk Trust adu will recive no more. 40,820,208, will recetve $27,214,177, jased profits will pay six per cent, dividends on \ It was reported in milk trade circles to-day that the Borden Milk {Company was about to increase its capitalization to $126,000'000, When an Evening World reporter called upon the officials of the company they wefused to discuss the matter further than to say that their present in- korporation was capitalized at $25,000,000, , “We will tell you anything about our milk,” said an official, “but | pur financial matters are purely our own business,” An official of the Milk Exchange, however, said that as soon as “these Five-cent dealers were driven out all the larger dealers will come together iand give New York a universal supply of pure milk at Fy uniform price pf eight cents a quart.” At last it would ecem that a trust has appeared to solve the milk eltuation in New York, not a malevolent trust, but a beneficent combt- metion which will furnish pure milk in bottles to all parte of Greater New York at o uniform price of eight cents, of which all that it asks for itself 1s four and three-fourths cents a quart. or about three-fifths of the 445,000,000 which the people of New Yor); are annually expected to pay, Of course there are captious individuals who maintain that pure milk tan be sold for five cents a quart nt a legitimate profit, just as there are men wio say the Beef Trust's product could be sold much cheaper, or dhe Standard Oil give the people light at seven cents a gallon and make money, instead of at 15 cents a gallon, But that is another story, \ Blow to Cheap Milk. Coming back to our milk, as a result of @ deterioration in the milk supply tthe Board of Health began a crusade fgainst the east side dealers who bandied five and four cent milk, and fast summer arrested them by the ‘@oore, Dozens of them were fined, a ‘very fow were imprisoned, and the otter business received a great low, With the conditions created by the faction of tthe Board of Health, the Bor- den Milk Company saw its opportunity to atep to the front and to take control of the milk oltuation, The old Gail Borden Condenned Milk had been widely known for years, The growth of the Dusiness gradually absorbed con- densed milk trade, and it drove out or ought out many of its competitors, By @ucoessive incorporations the capital \ was inureaged, until, under the name of the New York Condensed Milk Com- fapny, the successors to Gail Borden had ‘gq business capitalized at $3,000,000, Fol- lowing the failure of the efforts of out- aide promotion. a new company, known fas the Borden's Condensed Milk Com- pany, was organized under the laws of the State of New Jérsey, with a cap- Atal of $20,000,000, which has since been increased to $26,000,000, ‘The new company not only took over all the condensed milk business of the old company, but it went into the re- tail milk business and has attained a volume in its retail department which gurpasscs several times in value its for. mer condensed milk trade, Has Over 1,300 Wagons, ‘This retall business has been de- weloped quietly and without attracting attention until there are now in New York City over 1,800 retall milk wagons owned by the Borden Company, supply- ding dally 3,000,000 quarts of milk at the uniform price of eight cents, It has twenty-five delivery stations, at which these wagons are loaded, Its supplies come from forty recelving stations throughout the State, where it has its own freight houses, !ts own cooling ap- paratus and where it receives, handles and ices ‘ts own product irrespective of the rallroad employees, This form of milk has been recom- mended by the Board of Health, and ‘with the Board of Health continuing its prosecutions of the east side dealers the bottled milk trade will be still further fits associates in the Milk Exchange have controlled the whole trade, It is understood that when this is done the leading dealers in the Milk Ex- change will come in with the Borden Company to a new und larger corpora- tion. Already by reason of its volume of trade the Borden Company and the dealers asyoclated with It recelvo a 20 per cent, discount In rallrotd freights over the small shippers. This discount is acknowledged, It 1s also reported that thero {s a further discount amount- ing to 20 per cent. more, which Is ai- lowed as compensation to the Borden Corhpany for handling {ts mii by Its own employees and refrigerating the cars, How Rates Are Fixed, ‘At oneaert thtve Is nominally 4 unl furm freight rate on all the railroads around New York which are not exclus- ively within New York State, This In-) cludes all the roads except the New Yorle Central. ‘The freight rate for milk | is fixed according to the distance from New York, being divided Into four! gones, with the rates of 2% cents, 26 cents, 29 cents and 82 cents, These rates are based on @ forty-quart can. Tho milk in bottles 1s figured out at its equivalent in vang, The total recelpts of milk In New| York last year footed up equal to| 14,631,815 cans of plain milk, a daily by the Borden Company and dealers tn the Milk Exchange a can would retail for $8.20, making a total value of the milk consumed in New York during the Year of $46,820,203, J Of this sum the producer receives an average of 2% cents a quart. As a mat- ter of strict accuracy the average in less ‘than this, because the average price 48 made by averaging the retaj! price per quart for the twelve months delivering the milk; or some $8,000,000 more for thelr seryloes than the farmor rocelves as his total Income from the capital invested in his farm’ and his stock, his feed and his labor and the rallroad for its transportation facill- tes, It will be readily seon that when the increased capitalization of the Borden | Company {s formaly announced the returns from elght-cent nillk uniform~ ly charged throughout the City of New York will be amply sufficient munif- cently to compensate all the dealers ‘who have resisted the blandishments of outalde vromotera only in the end to form a trust of thelr own, and to koep all the nrofite for themselves, Beveral prior attempts have been made to organize @ milk trust in’ New York,-but they have all failed, Back in December, 187, the Farmers’ Dairy ‘and Produce Company was Incorporated in New Jersey with a capital of $15,000,- 000. George W. Dresser was the cap- {tallet and John D, Gilmor was the ohlef promoter, They planned to bring under their oontmol the hundreds of milk routes then existing and to make arrangements to handie the shipments on the different milk roads, That pian never got very far, as the leading con- cerns then in the milk business would not come in, About the same time another set of promoters sought to form a milk trust | were middlemen and distributers, | ‘he farmers welcomed this movement hevwiise they has bash, aperieved oh ears at the prices tie Mik Bx- aia: pwd them, and they, through their Granges, local creamerles and | other co-operative assoolations took an | active and frlendly intereat In promot. | ing in which they would have somo. | thing, as they thought, to say about its management, For a while the prospects of this pro- motion seemed promising, but the. ops Position of the Bordena and the Mill Fxchange succeeded in reducing the outlet for the Iive States Company's milk, so that It could not handle the Product which its associated farmers Offered it, and after strugmling along for a few months without being able to dispose of more than a fraction of its recelnts from the farmors the Five States Milk Producers’ Association also Rave up the ghost, Efforte of Speculators, Through these yeara of attempted romotions ki financial Interests, specu- ‘ators and Investors, none of whom had ever been in tho milk business, the milk supply of Greater New York con- Ainued to come for the most part patie some hundred odd associated milk dealers who were organized in the cearonen es Milk Exchange, through the Borden Company and through sev- eral specialized milk producers who sold bottled milk under Individual brands at a higher price. The Milk Exchange handled almost all the can- ned milk, that is the milk which came In forty-quart cans instead of in Indi- vidual bottles, Tt was the custom for these dealers to meet from time to time in the Milk Exchange. and on the last Wednesday of every month ¢o fix the price of milk DEATHS FROM PNEUMONIA, Week Past Has Marked End of Many Prominent Persons—-Hospitals All Over the Country Over=Crowded Never in recent times have so many prominent persons died from pneu- monia as during the past week, and tho disease is raging in epidemic pro- portions all over the country. The record of deaths in New York last week is closely followed by Chicago, Boston and other centres, in all of which the hospitals are overcrowded with pneumonia victims, Physicians are devoting more attention than ever to means to prevent pneumonia, and the leading authorities agree that the maforlty of fatal pneumonia cases aro caused by the patient taking for ‘a cold some so-called “cough cure” or “balaam” which depends upon pol- gonous drugs for its effect, These drugs deaden. the nerves and stop se- crotion along the breathing tract, which is always followed by conges- tion and inflammation, and that causes pneumonia, There is the same danger in the use of other so-called cures which depend upon the alcohol With Victims, they contain for their temporary stimulating effect, It 1s almost im- possible to find a single preparation mong patent medicines that does not contain these dangerous poisonous drugs and alcohol—and {t {s inviting pnoumonia and death to use them, Without these injurious druga, Father John’s Medicine cures colds, long standing coughs and all throat and lung troubles. It is not a patent medicine or “cough syrup,” but & body builder and tonic; It cures colds by soothing and healing the throat, and nourishes the system at the same time. Its gentle laxative effect strongthens the stomach and corrects the digestion, so that each organ of the body is‘able to properly perform its work—that {8 how the polsonous waste matter and impurities are driven out of the system.

Oftentimes all evidences of blood poison disappear and marriage is contracted un- der the mistaken belief that all danger of contaminating others is past, but your dream of happiness is rudely disturbed when you behold'the return pf the dis- ease in its original fury. Whoever relies on Mercury and Pot- ash as a cure for Contagious Blood Poison takes desperate chances, for these drugs uarters his imagination domestic happiness, and in fancy sees himself surrounded by a i; contented little family, A mighty host of unfortu- nate victims of that heinous disease, Contagious Blood Poison, are shut out from the enjoyment of matrimonial happiness. Riches, sociul position and honors would the unhappy lover gladly exchange for health and the assurance that no taint of this loathsome malady remained in his blood to be transmitted to posterity or blight the lives of the ones he had promised to love and protect, Contagious Blood Poison has brought more misery into thesworld than all other dis- eases combined. ‘There is no limit to its powers for evil; ha and confidence and affection turned to distrust an.j hatred by this slimy, So highly contagious and treacherous is this disease and so surely transmitted to others ealthy and once been sores and ern: oured, But tons oided I would write fone, and ginning 8. 8. 8, Leland, Miss, About three years ago I hed a severe on: Poison and tried eve! thing Heoueere jood, but without Bak b iprings, After remaining there a oonsiderable time the er I jeft the springs the trouble came back worse than ever.
