About Adulterated Milk.

Editor Advertiser:-I would like to
make a few remarks relative to your
editorial this morning on "a Milk
Fraud" A licensed milk, dealer, Iish-
mann, is on my books classed as
small dealer-one who delivers by a
japanese or Chinaman on foot, not by
wagon Samples have frequently been
taken from this dealer. The last, jan
uary II, 1901, showed on analysis total
solids 1910; butter fat, 3.6, against an
average for pure milk, total solids 12O;
butter fat. 35. In the case of this
dealer. as with many others. 1 cannot
say that adulterated milk has never
been sold, but only that he has not
been caught selling such milk.
With regard to testing and confiscat-
ing milk on the street, there is no test
applicable on the street which will
show a partial abstraction of cream
or a moderate addition of water, say
10 or Is per cent Where the amount
of water added is 80 or 40 per cent,
dumping on the street is an effective
method of stopping such adulteratlon'
but depending on street tests alone is
simply to play to the gallery, which
preyents gross adulteration but lets
pass the very btioAi
with 10 or Is per cent of water. Mr.
Dockery, the apostle of this method
realized this during the latter part OF
his term of office, for in the San Fran
cisco Board of Health Report for 1897
90 he reports confiscating only 81 gal
ions of milk against 30 arrests ano
prosecutions for selling adulterateo
milk.
! fThe rapid souring of milk is no in
Edication of adulteration but rather o.
a lack of cleanliness on the part Of
/ buyer or seller.
The present milk inspector is on duty
4 BY night as well as by day and is OF
the streets from 2 a m. until or
a. m.
/ The pure food law provides for tn
investigation of private complaints ant
If advantage We're more generally tax
en- of this provision the campaign
against adulterated milk would be ma
terially aided.

Food Commissioner.

We're marvelously ready, her friends
thought In short, their romance de-
veloped by leaps and bounds. In two
weeks Paris had heard of it.
The princess-to-b be has captivated, it
is said, although only eighteen, many
far less impressionable young men than
her present fiance. Altogether, she
has a far more subtle charm than is
often achieved by girl of eighteen,
and this with her wealth, gives rise
to the repeated comments that the
prince is singularly fortunate.
Gladys Deacon, though an American
born, an heiress and of excellent fam
lily, is absolutely unknown in her own
country. She has not even visited it
since she was 3, tiny girl. Even then
on her last visit people looked at her
curiously and pityingly The sorrow OF
her life had already come to her. The
bitterness of being stared at and open
ly pitied was revealed to Gladys Dea-
con when she was only eight years old.
Since then she has never known a res
i pite from it.
In the remotest byways of Europe
there would always be some prying eye
to recognize that conspicuously lovely
pair Mrs. Edward Deacon and her
daughter-always some malicious
tongue to remind the daughter
of Edward Parker Deacon of the mis-

able blessing for this child on whom

DOG POSTED IN POLITICS.

There is a good Republican fox err
rier in Brooklyn. When his mistress
said to him before election, What Will
you do if Bryan is elected" he sat up
on his launches and begged. Then she
would say: What will happen to you
then?" And the intelligent animal
would lie down and die. Then the mis-
tress said: What will you do If Nc
Kinley is elected?" and the dog would
jump up from the floor and rush about
the room. joyously wagging his tail. In
order to relieve the feelings of the Bry--
antics it must be admitted that the dog
had to be taught to do these things.

proof THAT THEIR CLOTHES ARE
NEW.

A traveller just returned from tour
Iof Southern Italy says that one of the
peculiar customs of the peasants is the
wearing of price marks On new suits OF
clothes. Whereas in other countries the
dealers ticket and tag are removed the
moment a suit is bought, in the sunny
toe and heel of the European boot they
ARE fastened on the tighter and worn
until they fall off. The object of this,
presumably, is to show neighbors that
you have new clothes, bought on such
a day and costing so much, at So-and-
SOS The same traveller says that the
Paris boulevards are literally crowded
just now with dog BARRIERS.
