The patrons of some OF the milkmen
have again become suspicious that some
thing is wrong with the milk delivered.
One patron claims that the milk deliv.
cred him will not sour, which is regard
ed as sufficient evidence that it has been
"enbalmed." The complaint is se-
rious one, and before any direct charges
are made thorough investigation should
be made by the health officer. Milk
which contains any acids is very dan
gerous, especially when it is used by
babies or children. The Citizen has
heard complaints on several occasions,
and directs the attention of the health
officer to the matter. 1t is due to the
milkmen, as well as their patrons, that
the complaints receive immediate atten-
ton.
