Water Might BE Used With
Good Effect.
Not in the Milk But in Clean
ing the Cans.
Some Disgusting Details Alluded to
by Inspector Potter.

ssDid you ever go out in the morning
enc look into your milkman's wagon9'
asks Milk Inspector Potter.
"They may look pretty clean outwardly
when the inside shows that water has
been a stranger for many weeks. TITS is
especially so during cold weather. And
you can readily imagine that bat with
The milk aud dirt that accumulates 1t is
neither clean nor sweet smelling. Teen
too, / have caught milkmen carrying
fwiil in their wagons having taken out a
license to remove swill; but, OF course, 1t
wesn't exI ected that they would remove
IL In their milk wagons. Those people
deal with pretty sum marily."
This and much more OF as Interesting
n as disgusting a nature can Mr.. Potter
tell, bot he does not mean TO say that
ali milkmen are Intentionally dirty or
law breakers. But the good frequently
have TO suffer with the bad in this as in
everything else. The inspector, as we'll
as Assistant City Solicitor Greenough, has
some gooo suggestions TO offer Tor the
better enforcement of milk laws. In the
first place he would have each milk dealer
on the city pays a fee for hts license, say
u dollar. TIL $1,000 or more so obtained
would pay for the extra help needed 10
properly look after the trade. This Is SO
in other cities. Then he would have the
licenses OF habitual violators revoked, as
are plumbers licenses, and when advis-
able rave the offender prosecuted, too.
The revocation of the license would be
more eficscious than anything else, and
IT would be easy TO bring about.
Then milk dealers WHO, persist, as do
some even while their cases are pending,
in ndulterating their stock would be
brought up short.
Fines are no check. Several dealers
were In court this week. Some paid up
n some go to a higher court. The
latter will probably get of.
There is nobody In the city government
who takes any especial interest in the
matter, naturally, the inspector says,
unless II Is the superintendent OF health.
He cannot do much, however. MIR.
Gfeenough is very much interested and
lends valuable assistance, but his hands
are more or less tied, OF course. What is
necessary, says Dir. Potter, is to educate
the public to insist ON having better milk
AMI they will get IT., and to show the
milkmsn that the law must be obeyed.
There have been found storekoepers sell
ing milk without a license. Such, OF
course, are not over particular concern
inp the uuaIitv of the milk. MANY small
stores handle 1t at a loss, simply because
they must keep IL or their customers would
60 to theif next door neighbors. They tax
no pains to have good milk. The inspector
recommends wedding out umbe Of
dealers OF that character. He does not
expect II would be possible to get all
dealers to sell milk as 1t comes FROM the
cows without very rigid laws very rigidly
enforced, but q vast Improvement is at
hand II the milk consumers will only
wake mr..

Prince Henry was u man OF very fine
presence, but as he was not OF undiluted

upon his union with n daughter of tho

discomfort of the army and aristocracy.
Prince Henry had seen little real service,
and had he been thrown on his own re.
sources he might have made his mark as
n soldier. His life must have been in
some respects sad, for he was not only un-
popular, but was disliked by most OF tho
royal family. The Emperor of Germany
was especially bitter in his comments on
the Battenbergs, and regarded their re-
