Hesitates About Asking His Wife's Advice, but Finally Does So, and She Scares Him at the Way She Receives News of His Plans. ? By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.] m m R. BOWSER was uneasy. He got up and he sat down. He I ? H Ttroll-ail tn fpA o n ri ha ^ naiatu iv uuu uv( ****? ? stood and looked out of the 'window. He lighted his cigar and then t?V v let it go out. He was undergoing a great mental struggle, and Mrs. Bowser knew it, but she wasn't going to offer her help until asked. He held off for a quarter of an hour and then said: "Mrs. Bowser, there are times when youare quite sensible." I "Thank you," she replied. "Now and then your advice has been fe good." W, 'Thanks some more." "You needn't be sarcastic over it Woman was not born to advise man. She hasn't his brains; she hasn't bis ! ^ ' 'm, ? ? ONE MTLKMATT) TO EACH COW.

"I am glad that you are not going to consult me this evening, as I have an " interesting book." / Danger In Impure Milk. Mr. Bowser had begun wrong. He ? 1; saw his mistake and put on his hat and took a walk around the block. When be returned he smiled at the cat, said be had rather be home of an evening and then added: "Mrs. Bowser, you have read and heard that impure milk is the cause of more sickness and deaths than any other known thing." i "Yes, something of the kind." 'Impure milk slays its tens of thousands yearly. It is worse than cholera or yellow fever. It claims its victims v from among kings as well as peasants. We cannot tell what minute it will , claim us." "Well?" "Something must be done. Some thing is being done, but the problem is far from being solved. This city paid out half a million dollars last year to . guard its milk, and yet it was only partly successful. It is acknowledged by the whole world that some different tactics must be adopted." "I am willing to leave the matter to the scientists," said Mrs. Bowser. Asks For Wife's Advice. "Yes, I know you are, but I am not I don't propose to be swallowing ten / thousand eerms of tvnhoid fever with every spoonfu! of milk. The scientists are moving along certain lines. I am going to move along others. The world has never heard of Bowser's uneqnaled, unparalleled and absolutely germ proof milk, but it is going to before many more weeks have passed." "Then you are going into the dairy business?" - "Yes, in a way. It is about the scheme I wanted to talk with you. You may be able to give me a hint or two. In fact, I will go as far as to say that I shall value your advice." This was such a concession on the part of Mr. Bowser that Mrs. Bowser laid aside her book and said she. would listen and be glad to offer any pointers she could. "Very well," he replied. "We start on the assumption that the milk from a healthy cow is absolutely pure when first drawn. There can be no germs." "No" "The pail must have been sterilised before milking." "Isee." True milker must nave no germs about htm." . "No." Mrs. Bowser Agrees. "The milk must be got to the consumer with no chance whatever for imparities to creep in. If anything happens after that I am not to blame for it Are yon In accord with me thus far, Mrs. Bowser?" "Perfectly." "T am glad of that The next step is to arrange with 500 families to take Bowser's unequaled, unparalleled and absolutely germ proof milk. Not more thnu two quarts will be sold to any u i one family. Under no circumstances will dealers or grocers be supplied." "I follow you," said Mrs. Bowser. "Then I purchase 100 cows of the very best breed. Each cow is groomed with all the care given to a race horse. She is provided with a clean white cover on which will be emblazoned 'Bowser's U. TJ. A. A. G. P. M.' Do you get that?" "I do." "There are to De iw nniamaius, oue to each cow. They are to dress in pure white. None of them must wear false hair. Between each one's shoulders will be the same letters as on the cow covers. I shall strive to engage blond milkmaids, as they have milky complexions. See the point?" "Very clearly." No Chance For Germs. "The milking is not to be done in stables. Twice a day each cow is to be led by her milkmaid to the house of a customer and milked right at the front door and the milk passed in. Where's your germs in that scheme?"' "There can be none." "Not a germ, Mrs. Bowser?not the hind leg of a germ. That sight of a beautiful blond milking a beajntiful cow on the street is going Jbe greater that a full page advertisement for Bowser's germ proof. Customer^ will be added by the hundred. I shall have to have 500 cows inside of three irnnths Ahsnlntelv nure milk. Mrs. Bowser, and the question is solved. I got the idea a month ago and have stuck right to it What do you think of it as a whole?" "I think very favorably, but I should like to ask you a few questions." "As many as you will." "What will the cows cost?" "Fifty dollars apiece." "And how much a week to keep them?" "I haven't figured on that, but not over $2 apiece." "And the wages of the milkmaids?" "I thought about $6 apiece a week." "And what price per quart for the milk?" Sees a Huge Profit "Ten cents. I figure that each cow will return a profit of $4 per week. That's $400 per week to start on. When I get up to 500 cows I have an income of $2,000 per week without lifting my hand. Am I a schemer? Am I a financier? Am I a back number? I give the world absolutely pure mflb nnrt T rnnbe $9,000 ?i week while doing it What?" "I?I see." "But what's the matter with you? What are you strangling that way for?" And Mrs. Bowser fell from her chair to the floor and made a strange gurgling noise in her throat The frightened Mr. Bowser bent over her and was about to call the cook when he made a discovery. Mrs. Bowser was choking with laughter! She was laughing at him, at his schem^, at his cows, at his milkmaids, at his income per week, at Bowser's unequaled, unparalleled and absolutely germ proof milk! He had raised her head, and now he dropped it to bump on the A real bargain in an -to-dite Go-art of best material only m ,2J!
