Adv. :;. H'OX KM OIltL MEETS ACCIDENT In Greenville-Automobile Han Into Motorcycle-Injuries Slight. < Creeiivillo Piedmont, ISth.) Kiding double on a motorcycle, Miss Beulah Kerry, ol' Senora, and Finery Styles, who was operating the machine, came within an Inch of be ing seriously injured this morning when they collided with a large au tomobile driven by VV. Newell Smith, proprietor of a loeal garage. The accident occurred about io o'clock at the intersection of Main street and McKee avenue, on the southwest side, near the First National Hank. No one was seriously hurt. Miss Berry, who was riding side wise on an improvised seat between Mr. Styles and the handle bars, was pinned beneath the overturned mo torcycle. Mr. Styles was Hung aside his machine, but managed t<~> regain his standing in Hine to raise the ma chine off the young lady, unassisted. As the crowd congregated the young lady limped away. Miss Berry retained her com posure admirably, considering the fact that it was the Hist time she bad ever ridden a motorcycle, and it was tile first accident of the kind encoun tered by ber. She 1\ d just arrived here to visit and Mr. .Kyles had met lou- at Hie station. According to the statements of eye-witnesses. the collision was purely an accident. Mr. Smith, driv ing an Oldsmobile touring car. was headed at a slow rate down Main street, and the motorcycle, coining north, was turning the corner from Main into McKee avenue. A? Hie motorcycle cut in slowly. Mr. Smith sped up bis automobile In an effort to avert the collision, lou the motor cycle crashed into the rear left wheel. The front wheel of the motorcycle was badly lient, and the handle bars thrown out of plumb. The automo bile showed no signs of the contact. The accident was investigated, and as the parties expressed satisfaction that nobody was hurl, an amicable settlement was easily reached. Mr. Styles lives about four miles above t ; reen ville. Hut tel min. mid Bacteria. The popularity of buttermilk as a food and a beverage is attested by its . . . . . ...... : ten Hon. The plan of allowing milk to undergo fermentation of such a character that the products are not unpleasant or unwholesome for hu man consumption, yet serve as pre servatives to prevent undesirable types of decomposition, is not new. The fermentation product chiefly de pended on in such cases is lactic acid, although, in certain opes, alcoholic fermentation may also be in evidence. Buttermilk belongs to the acid type; it usually contains ?rom 0.6 to 0.9 per cent of acid. Strictly speaking, buttermilk is a by-product of butter making; but wiib the development of the milk industries, the demand for buttermilk lias frequently been met by fermenting ibo skim of sepa rator milk which remains as a by product of Hie cream trade. The fer mented nroduei t? nol literally l.;;! termilk, but it may be indistinguish able from tlie latter in composition and properties. The use of these fer mented milk products has been fa oreti, not alone for their intrinsic food value, but also for accessory rea sons. The specific fermentation pro ducts have been reputed to have a "tonic" action in Hie digestive tract. Special virtues have been attributed to Hie lactic acid bacteria, particular ly in relation to putrefaction changes in the alimentary tract. Aside from any alleged therapeutic virtues, there can be no doubt of the nutrient value of the beverages. With the mowing attention devoted to the bacteria which milk may harbor, and Hie rec ognition of Hie dangers which they maj entail, it is not strange thal but termilk also should demand bacterio logic consideration. Heinemann, of Hie department of bacteriology and hygiene at the ('Di versity of Chicago, has demonstrated that the presence ot' lactic acid in milk will destroy the germs of dysen tery, typhoid, diphtheria and cholera. The slower milk sours, the greater is the danger of disease germs surviv ing. Acids oilier than ladle acid are frequently present in buttermilk. This beverage, Heinemann reminds us, should therefore be looked on with suspicion, especially if heavily polluted, unless it has been preM.red from pasteurized milk. There ls, however, says tho Journal of the American Medical Association, a remnant of satisfaction to all lovers of the fermented product lo leam that the chances of buttermilk becoming a carrier of infection are small.

The middleman comes in and gets it at bis own ligures, holds it until the price goes up. and gets the protit that the farmer ought to have. That's business, and why do we not profit by our experience. brother tarim r? If the merchant can let his goods '.ie on the shelf and keep dry until lie gets his price and we are not making war on him, for that's busi ness why not ibo tanners build warehouses, put their cotton in them to keep it dry. and bold il until tho mills need it and get all the profit themselves, and stop dumping it on tim market all ?it once?
