CI T OCT THE WASTE
Milk at 16 centj a quart is the
prospect for Portland this winter.
While the impending advance is
no* relatively as large as the ad
vance in meat and bread, it is un
necessarily largo for one reason;
it contemplates % continuation of
ti»* present unscientific—indeed, we
may say the excessively foolish—
luetaods of distributigu. Intelligent
men ^ experience, men who have
Deeu tugaged in furnishing milk
to consumers for years, declare
tha; tfc« cost of distribution can
be reduced 2 cents a quart by in
s'itutiug u rational system of dis
tribution.
It is impossible for the new
municipal miik commission or the
dairymen to reduce the cost of pro
ductioo but it is entirely practic
able to cut dowu the cost of dis
tribution. Then why do not the
commission and the dairymen abai..
doa everything eK-e and de-vote
themselves to the one effective
reform that will actually eliminate
one-hal' of the proposed advance?
.Can refusal to prevent waste be
regarded as less than an economic
crime?
The importance of a genreous
supply of milk for the coming year
can not be overestimated. Portland
will u>"«4 more milk this winter
than ever before because we shall
ea» le's meat than ever before,
for growing children there is no
be'tar substitute. Milk will be
urgently needed in combination with
cereals and other foods and white
bread. "We must keep up the sup
ply o" milk at any cost, but we
illust not put too heavy a burden
oq families of limited income;
they are large consumers of milk.
The municipal milk commission
aud 'he dairymen; working togeth
er can institute promptly and with
ou* ths investment of more capital
a»i economical and efficient sys
tem of delivery, which >'ili lop off
one-ha^ of the proposed increase
In price. Their duty is imperative.
Let them cut out the waste. —

WHAT IP PETROtiRAD KILLS?
The extension of the German
lines to Petrograd, or the Austro
Bulgarian lines to Odessa, is by no
m<>aa« a military- impossibility. But
how would such, operations bene
fit the ceutral powers? Neither
Petrograd nor Odessa is vital to
Russia The retiring Russians
would destroy existing stocks of
food, with. the result that the cen
tral powers would have gr^ateer ter
ritories to hold with no corres
ponding increase in, available re
sources. Either operation, would j
iuTolve a lengthening of lines of]
defense requiring an additional half
Hillli«c men. These might be found |

OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly Skagway Residents
Suffer From Some Form of
Kidney Trouble.
When past middle age, there
frequently comes a noticeable weak
ening .of the organs of the body,
and resulting danger of quick de
cline. It is quite necessary to
give prompt help to any part that
first shows signs of wear. Healthy
kidneys are necessary to a hale old
age. Weak kidneys often bring
cons'aut backache, lame back,
stitches and twinges Of pain, an
noying urinary troubles, and the
danger of dropsy orBright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills are gratefully
•recommended by very many aged
people. Convincing proof of merit
in the following testimony:
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W
Fifty-uintb St., Seattle, Wash.,
eays: "A com weaicenea my Kia
iieys and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt ag though,
'he muscles were all drawn up
and stiff. My kidneys didn't act
right at all and the secretions were
highly colored. I had to get up
often at night. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me a complete and last
ing cure. I am now free from kid
ney trouble in 6pite of my age,
which i» past sixty years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr, Johnsen had. Foster-Mil
