PRESENT LAWS ADEQUATE.
The Health officer Opposes the Pro-
posed MIX Regulation.

The Milk Dealers and Producers Asso-
station of Washington recently requested
the Commissioners to promulsate a regu-
lation requiring some apparatus to be
installed in every place where milk is sold
at retail for thoroughly stirring the milk
or cream In the can or vessel in which it
is stored for sale. The matter was refer
red to the Health Department for con-
sideration, and the Health officer has re-
ported as follows:
THE proposed legislation requires mere
ly that the can or other receptacle for
milk be provided with an apparatus for
thoroughly stirring the contents. 1t does
not require that the milk be stirred. 1t
is alleged, however, by those seeking the
PRONUNCIATION of this regulation that the
sale of milk below standard is caused
not by the absence OF facilities for stir
ring but by the hurry and confusion re-
sulting from a rush of customers or by
the carelessness of statesmen This de-
partment is unable to see that the mere
provision of a receptacle containing APP
paratus for the stirring of milk would
prevent such hurry or such confusion and
carelessness.

writers than the law as proposed by

there is no sound basis for prosecution
The injury supposed to be done the
wholesale dealer by the retailer of milk
below grade through failure to stir the
contents of the milk receptacle is, to
certain extent at least, Offset by the fact
that certain of the citizens buying from
such dealers must necessarily receive
milk above grade. and the business repu-

thereby enhanced.
