AFTER SKINNED MILK,
Inspector Dockery Is Rounding
Up the Creamless
Cans Now.
Diaries Will Be Inspected Regu' arly.
LawlesS Dealers to Be
Arrested.

The merry milk war begun months ago
by Inspector Dockery is still on, and the
dairymen who patronize the pump now
and then occasionally meet the official
with the tell tale lactometer.
The objects of Mr.. Dockery's close atten-
tion just now are the skim milk men.
They have contended that this fluid is not
adulterated, but is milk with the cream
removed and is sold as such. However,
the new milk ordinance reaches them, and
number who are in this part of the trade
will be prosecuted. The wagon of Murphy
& Willie of the San Francisco cream depot
was overhauled yesterday with twenty
five cans aboard, thirteen of which were of
skinned milk. The proprietors will be
arrested.
Those skinned milk cans have
caused us considerable trouble" said
Inspector Dockery last evening
when we found load that
did not come up to the standard the milk
man would insist that the fluid was not
adulterated, but only skinned. There
has been a great quantity of this weak,
almost warthless stuff sold in the City.
There are several large ranches in San
Mateo County that skim most of their
milk, and they will find their business
running down, because l will turn every
gallon l catch into the sewer.
Regarding the milk permits now being
issued by the Board of Health the object
is to get the real output and consumption
in this county. By this the entire busl-
ness can be regulated. For instance. if we
see by our books that a total of 10000 GAL
Ions of milk Is sold during certain pc
riod, and also that 10000 have been con-
sumed it will not take the cathode ray to
show up the 10000 OF Spring Valley fluid
peddled out in cans TO the unsuspecting
public.
NO restaurant and hotel keepers who
give their customers pure milk and who
desires to see the Illicit milk business
broken up will fail to get their permit, es-
pecially as it does not cost them cent
But whether they do or do not the
Board of Health will not relax its efforts to
round up the thin milk dealers. l am OFT
about three nights per week, and will keep
it up indefinitely. Another piece of work
the board has mapped out is official in
spection of the oaries.
Not single sick or poorly fed cow will
be MIXED for the San Francisco trade if
we can help it. The dairies must be kept
clean and healthful and they will be con-
stantly inspected"
