Health tonight promises to be one of the
most interesting ever held in the city
across the bay. II is the purpose of the
doctors who have been making a fight
against the darvmen who refuse to have
their cows inspected to renew the war in
no uncertain way and to add the names
OF few prominent dairymen to the list OF
milk sellers already under the ban.
The following dairymen are now selling
milk from cattle that have never been in
spected, milk which the doctors say is
more or less full OF the germs of tubercu-
iosis:
BLAIR'Sl RANCH.
EMPIRE DAIRY.
KINGS JERSEY DAIRY.
JOSEPH AND JACOB LORETZ.
LAMP & FARNE DAIRY.
A RAVES.

There has been a great deal of discus
sion OF the milk question at various hotels
and restaurants since the publication of
the fact that milk from the foregoing
dairies, If the doctors be right in their
con Gemnatlon, is not fit for human con-
sumption. Many people are asking heir
hotel proprletors where they buy milk.
An instance arose yesterday wherein a
prominent citizen declined to go 10 the
Metropole until that hotel assured him
that it had ceased buying from an unin-
spected dairy. The Fabiola Hos pitaI di-
rectors passed a resolution a day or two
ago wherein II was provided that no milk
Will be bought save from inspa cted dairIes.
The fact that nearly 500 children have
died in Oakland of diseases due to bad
milk since January, 1858 has aroused pub
Ic interest and given the doctors conf
dence that they will yet win their fight
against uninspected cattle.
II think there should be law whereby
the inspection OF the cattle i paid for by
the public at arge," said DR.. II. Z. Mul-
ler yesterday. at is not right TO force the
dairymen to do it, but, on the other hand,
they should not be allowed to sell bad
milk, even if it cost them ten times as
much as the regular fee to have their cat
tie inspected"
DR.. Dunn OF the Health Department
said yesterday:
1T is fact that the people of this CITY,
as well as the doctors, do not properly
understand the dana done by the sale
of milk from diseased cattle but II is q
fact that from one-seventh to one-ffth OF
the deaths in this State are from consump-
ton, and a large percentage of these
deaths are due to bad milk.
1--WE expect to get right after the dairies
until the law IS com piled with. Some
new names are almost sure to be added TO
the list tomorrow night. We are also
watching to see that the cattle boug ht by
the sound dairIes are inspected Where
changes in the herd occur we have TO
watch carefully
The dairymen will probably propose
that the milk be pasteurized and that
they thus be allowed to escape the loss OF
their bad cattle.
1t is possible that Attorneys Moore and
Frlck may appear al the meeting of the
Board of Health and protest against the
condemnation OF their clients, the dairy
men. The fact that the recalCitrant dairy
men have hired lawyers see ms to indicate
that they are feeling the effect of the agi-
tation and that they will be driven to In
spection as remedy for the loss of busi-
ness.
