wheel,
That wakens the ~orld's unmeasured
zeal,
And makes man Of my torture feel

the real cause, recently sent cuttings to

The Pi.tsburg papers note the extra
ordinary death rate among the babies
there and blame it on the milk. Good OF
pure milk is as wholesome a thing AZ a
| child can drink; and On the other hand i'm
pure or improperly handled milk is a poiE'
on. The milk law Of New Jersey has done
wonders for the supply in that state, and
we would like to see it adopted in this
state. Every can Of milk that enters q
| town of that state is inspected by an eJ-
pert, and the cans are properly cleansed
| and aired before being returned. The
| producers know enough to take the snima
| heat out Of the milk before canning it; moi
| to mix cold and warm milk, not 10 ship
| milk from a sick COW, and dozen Other
things that should, by Aca OF Assembly
be made misdemeanors with a penalty
| attached.
