Paris, chalk, eggs. annatto, etc.; and this
stuff is being peddled out by men that
have got the brazen impudence to look
you in the face and lay claim to honesty.
Yes, it is purchased in many cases espe-
cially as a chief aliment OF children, for q
choice nourishment, and relied upon to
develop the physical powers and impart
vlgor to the constitution OF children dur
ing the most feeble and critical period Of
their lives, when the best possible nour-
ishment is especially necessary in order to
counteract the injurious effects OF infected
air and deficient exercise, which are often
lnseparable from the condition OF city life.
Mr. Theirs, instead OF making fruitless
attempt with his limited knowledge OF his
official duties TO bolster up certain milk
as being the only pure milk that was be-
ing sold, should have told plain truth and
said that when milk is put into can ana
carried q considerable distance over rough
roads, rail or otherwise, so as to be much
agitated, before being delivered for use,
that even it--wlth all its purity is neces-
sariy inferior in quality just in proportion
to the amount OF agitation it has received,
and that il said agitation be continued TO
any great length it becomes entirely
worthless for sweet milk purposes, no
matter how rich it may be in huteraceous
matter; and he should further state that
parties selling cream raised from such milk
and claiming il as the best whip cream on
the market are making unfair claims that
they cannot substantiate.
Mr.. Theirs is certainly right in calling for
more legal authority, he should be re-
quired to visit every dairy and inspect not
only the health OF the animals, but also
the cleanliness OF the dairy and the man
ner OF handling the milk, and in justice to
the dairyman he might be vested with
authority TO do little inspection OF vessels
often brought TO receive milk from the
wagon. Every article in which milk is
placed should be washed in water with q
little lime or soda dissolved in it. II milk
sours in any glass or china vessel the acid
thus generated will injure any which may
aiterward be placed in il, but ii washed
in water in which an alkali has been dis
solved the acid will be destroyed. MIR.
Theirs will find that his duties ii properly
performed and justice dealt to all, will
worry him muchly.
He should not talk about 40 cents per
gallon, for there are no such prices ruling
on the market, on the other hand, the
cut-throat system brought about by the
people themselves piteously crying for big
measure and more tickets for the dollar
has about driven the honest milkmen that
did exist ont OF the market, and men
OF peculiar views that can ease their con.
science by pandcring to the demand for
big measure and cheap product have
about got the field TO themselves with
their adulteratcd article. Ii milkmen feed
their cows on wholesome food that will
produce good milk, and sell il at the
prices that are generally ruling, he viii
either have to staryc himself and fam
ily, go poorly clad aud present most
dilapldatcd appearance on the street with
his old shackly wagon, or find himself a
candidate Tor the poorhouse. On the
other hand, fine harness, fat mules, var
| nished wagons and dude drivers are not
the result OF pure milk at 2j cents per gall
lon; there is good quantity OF condensed
milk, burnt sugar aud solid water about Il
| and how much docs the consumer gain
