Labratory at Newark, Del, gives
his views on what constitutes pure
milk aud the standard adopted for
the test in our city. lie says in lis
article published in last nights
Every Evening:
1T iAtrue that the law can ust.
ly define what shall be milk of
good standard quality aud l2.5 per
cent OF solid does not represent a
fair average OF the mixed milk OF a
herd, but that il can be assumed
that Il milk falling below this stand
ard is necessarily adulter ated, no
one familiar with the subject will
admit
..Iu fact, milk from individual
cows may fall as low as 10 per cent
and the mixed milk OF herd as
low as II per cent OF total solids
Such milk might be offered lor sale.

were found below the standard Of
80 per cent OF fat and s. ; per cent
OF solids. not fat. This is undoubt-
eGly a bad state ot affairs and
shows we do not want any higher

Mrs. RoKlE. in one Of Ter ta!Ns

every family should have fish at
least once week. Then she told
her hearers how to prepare fish SO

PEELED the illusion that hsh create
brains. They do give us phos
phorous, and phosphorous is wha!
we need for our brains. but as tc
making more gray matter. that is
preposterous. Thus are our ldo'>
