CITY MILK SUPPLY.
President of Board of Health Recon-
mends an Inspector.

There is q growing tendency IN the
larger cities to demand pure milk
supply" said DR.. Shuts. president of the
board of health, yesterday. No article
of food requires more care in handling,
and ordinarily RECEIVES less than does
milk.
Milk, from healthy animals. when prop
erly cared tor, is the most wholesome,
nutritious and life giving food that ma
ture provides. One quart of milk. con-
taining four per cent butter fat. will
supply as much nourishment as pound
of the best beef
Unclean milk and milk from unhealthy
COWS IS not ft for human consumption. It
furnishes an ideal breeding place for all
kinds of bacteria and disease germs. and
IS largely responsible for the high death
rate among children in the cities.
What other article Of food should in
terest the citizen more than the milk
that is brought daily to his door. to be
used b. his chilGIen; Yet in most cases he
gives 4 no thought whatever. He never
asks whence it comes or how it is ham

advantages OF the Santa Fe railroad to

the officials to talk, and his statements
came straight from the shoulder He
spoke very praiseworthy of Wichita and
the wonderful growth of the city He
said that the business interests had
some grievances, and he and his associ-
ates were ready to listen to them. He
added. however that those having griev-
ances or complaints to put before them
should not try to reach them through po-
litical conventions and legislatures In
conclusion he remarked that he believed
Wichita did not want different rates than
some other nearby towns and that the
present rates are all right
Mr. Taylor of the Johnston & Larimer
Dry Goods company. took the floor and
stated briefly the complaint that the
wholesale dry goods people had to offer.
The principal part of his grievance was
concerning the combination shipments
with other roads. especially in Oklahoma
The adjustment Of this matter, according
to Mr. Biddle. could not be consummated
very easily. However. Mr. Taylor was
given the satisfaction that the propo-
sition would be taken up and given due
shortly.
Mr.. Woods. of Jett &. Woods spoke of
the grocery interests briefly. After
speaking of the complaints of the Who'll
sale grocery men he told about the Splen- |
did advantages of shipping goods by way
Of the gulf route which was very pleas
ing to the officials.
Secretary Resing of the club laid his |
grievances before the officials and his |
remarks were to the point
From the Commercial club the officials |
we're taken in automobiles to the Sedg- |
wick block where they met with a num- |
