SIR THOMAS THINKING
ABOUT TRYING AGAIN.
Visions of the Americans Cup are
Haunting the BarOnet.


London, Aug. 19.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton is paying visit to the Clyde, for
the purpose, it is believed, of arranging
for the design and construction of a
fourth Shamrock.
In a published interview Sir Thomas
said the yacht designers seemed TO
think that the change in the rules of
measurements made in New York
would give British boat a better
chance of lifting the cup, but his own
preference would be to keep pegging
away on the former lines.
1T seems to me-" said Sir Thomas,
that a victory scored under exactly
the same conditions that governed pre-
vious defeats, would be more satisfy
ing than to win under new rules, espe-
cially alterations of our own sugges-
ton. 1t is a matter however for
which those are responsible who de-
sign and sail the boat"

MILK MEN FORFEIT COLLATERAL.
Analysis Of Milk on Sale Reveals Six
teen Cases Below Standard.

The health department Is continuing its
rigid inspection Of the milk. The dealers
of all classes are visited daily by the de-
partment inspectors. AS a result of recent
visits sixteen separate charges were filed
in the District branch Of the Police Court

were found to be selling and offering for
sale milk which, on being analysed, was
discovered to be below the standard re-
CURED by law.
Although the inspectors have in some In
Stances found cases where milk has been
Watered and otherwise adulterated, it is
stated that the particular trouble at this
time is caused by conditions over which the
milk dealers have no control Milk gen

Another reason assigned for cases being
made against milk dealers lis that good

manner in which they measure milk for
their customers, neglecting to stir the milk
each time a sale is made. =, The first few
purchasers get all of the cream, and by the
time half of the contents of the can have
been disposed of the remaining milk is not
as rich 1t would otherwise have been.
