MILK and BOGUS BUTTER
UNDER DISCUSSION BY BOARD OF
HEALTH.
Report on Vaccination of School Chill
dren-Health Conditions in Yokoha-
ma and Hongkong- Reports.

The principal topic before the local
Board of Health yesterday was the
report of Food Inspector Arthur john
stone, who submitted the results of
analyses of milk supplied to Camp
Mckinley on October 18th, when
company of soldiers were made sick
presumably from impurities in the
milk supplied. Mr.. Johnstone's in
spection showed that the containers
were clean.
The results of the five samples TAX
en- were: No. /, Star Dairy, 104 de-
grees: No. ?. Star Dairy. 1O7 degrees;
both over standard. Third sample,
Dairymen's Association 80 degrees;
fourth sample. so degrees; both I'M
der standard. The fifth sample taken
from the office of the Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION tested 100 degrees, pure
milk. The above tests show that
probably some of the fats had been
extracted from samples ! and ,, while
samples 3 and were undoubtedly di-
luted. presumably after delivery, with
water, 10 per cent in No. and 20 per
cent in No. I. IA,
On the suggestion of President
Smith, Agent Reynolds and the food
inspector were authorized to employ
man in November to Systematically
test all the milk in the city.
Mr.. Johnstone's report also showed
that 1860 pounds of oleomargarine
had been imported during the month
of September. He had examined the
butter used in Chinese restaurants.
and found it without exception to be
good to Indifferent oleomargarine. In
reply to question DR.. Day stated that
oeomargarine itself was not unwhole-
some. The objection was the fraud
practiced in it's sale and use. One
did not know whether he was buying
butter or oleomargarine.
Quarterly reports from various hos
pitfalls under the control of the board
were received, as follows:

writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 25rd, says: I'VE all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see a doctor, for it was a case of
rush, and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, / sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior
of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to
the front. There were no roads that
wagon train could use. Ny comrades
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack train before we left Tampa

timated output of from to 10 per

it is a passing fad, like the 30 inch
front wheel of a few years ago, and

day would have voted against it. They
fell in line for the bill only after it had
been figured out to a certainty that it
could not pass, thus pleasing Their ccr-

The several war measures including
those providing for loan Of $500 coo and
increasing the per capita tax for the
support of the naval reserve. which
have passed the house, will become

Savannah, Ga. April 12.-General
Lees journey to this city has been one
series of ovations. At Savannah more
than 5000 persons were at the station to
see him when the train came in. The
crowd was enthusiastic, and a short
speech was made by the general, being
frequently applauded. AS the train
rolled into the station a platoon of the
Chatham artillery. of which General
Lee is an honorary member, began fir
ing a major generals salute of thirteen
guns. General Lee and the members of
his party were completely tired out by
their long trip. Orders were gicen here
by the transportation department of the
Plant system for operators north of this
city to withhold all information as to
the whereabouts of the train in order
to prevent the party being disturbed.
The party retired Immediately after
leaving Savannah.
At WaycroSs and Johnston. Ga the
people went wild. They besieged the
train by hundreds and would not be
denied seeing the general. who was
cheered to the echo.
