Another Milk Dealer Fined.

Another milk case disposed Of in the
Police Court today. Mr.. ]. W. Gregg, pro-
prietor Of the National Dairy on 9th street, was
the defendant. Justice 8. C. Mills, who is one
of his customers, appeared as his counsel He
said to the court that the sample Of milk taken
from Mr.. Griggs was above the standard, but
1t showed the coloring OF anatto for coloring
purposes.
Justice Mills admitted that he had been tax
ing milk from the defendant for some time,
and he thought that the absence Of the color
ing had the effect Of making the milk appear Of
poorer quality.
Under the ruling of tho court that tho use
OF anat.o comes within the act against adulter-
alton he thought It was unnecessary to 60 to
trial.
Judge kimball, speaking Of the use Of an
alto. referred to the testimony Of Prof Wiley
that he had been eating butter in which there
was anatto, but that no would not care to feed
1t to babies. although he did not consider the
coloring matter an injurious substance.
In conclusion the court imposed a fine Of $40
and suspended execution OF sentence
