MILK IS FILLED
WITH BACTERIA
ANALYSIS SHOWS STARTLING
FACTS
Board of Health Plans to Regulate
Diaries and Prevent Sale of
Impure Article In Los
Angeles

Impure milk occupied the attention
of the board of health at a meeting
held last night. The city bacteriolo-
gist has been analyzing the milk as it
is received at the milk depots in the
city and finds that some of it shows
billions of bacteria to the cubic cent?
meter. None of the milk is up to the
standard of 100000 adopted as safe
limit by the board of health for milk
at the dairy. The lowest analysis
shows more than 100000
The board of health is trying to es-
tablish standard for milk as delivered
from the wagons and to this end is
gathering samples from the dairy
wagons.
When sufficient data has been Sc
cured the board will fix an arbitrary
standard of milk as delivered at the
homes of consumers and the milk
problem will be partially solved.
DR.. Carl Kurtz of the board of health
is of the opinion that the milk should
be properly iced at the country sta
tons from which it is sent, especially
in hot weather.
Will Give Warning
Cards will be printed and sent to
dairymen who supply Los Angeles with
milk, on which will be the warming
1.-The bacteriologist's analysis of your
milk shows more than 100000 Cor what
ever standard the city adopts). Please
take notice." On receipt of this card
the dairyman will either supply purer
milk or come before the board and
show cause why their milk should not
be refused.
A restaurant inspector may be new
addition to the city official family. DIR.
Kurtz has discovered serious defects
in the manner in which some restau-
rants care for their tableware.
He cited, as an example, one popular
restaurant in the city where the wait
ers were in the habit of picking up the
teaspoons after they had been used,
dipping them in small fingerbowl and
then putting them in their pockets to
be served to the next conner. At this
restaurant a consumptive had used a
spoon and the waiter merely dipped it
in the water and put it in his pocket
for the next patron who asked him
for a spoon.
The walters found it necessary to
adopt this policy, as customers acquired
a habit of taking the spoons away as
souvenirs. DIR. Kurtz favors appoint
ing a restaurant inspector and passing
an ordinance that will cover the ques-
tion.

Under the Palm metto Tree.

They are investigating the Hon. BEN
JAMIN RYAN TILLMAN's most illustrious
idea and institution, the South Carolina
liquor dispensary. 1t appears from the
testimony, much of which, however,
would not be competent in court, that
Jobs in the dispensary at Spartanburg
have gone to the highest bidder; that
money has been paid to newspaper and
that employees have accepted presents
from whisky manufacturers.
In some of the testimony there is
certain cynical geniality, if the phrase
may be allowed. One witness repeated
the conversation OF whisky house
salesman, also member of the county
board of control, who said that in Charles
ton he sold more to blind tigers than
dispensers; had sold to twelve blind
tiger people and had the privilege Of
cursing out one dispenser" as follows:
He said he went 70 some dispenser there in
Charleston, big, neshy fellow. and asked him to
buy some whisky from the house he was repre-
.en,!ns and the dispenser asked him what there
was In II for him, and ne told him not cent: he
wasn't one Of them kind that had to pay dis
penser anything to buy his whisky. He said he
had friend on the State board who would put
them out Of business II they did not buy IT, and
said the next morning night that fellow
come to his room at the hotel and walked him up
he come 10 his room probably before he went to
bed-and gave him tho biggest order he had ever
received from any dispenser"
This anecdote teaches us the value Of
friendship. Another is e bit Of Palmetto
interior genre. A dispensary clerk ad-
mitted that his boss received compli-
mentary cases of whisky, but insisted
that he drank most Of it and gave some
OF it away. The investigators were
trying to prove that he put the surplus
on the shelves and sold it. Yet they
let the clerk paint this picture Of COM
fort and repose in the shade Of the Pal
metto tree:
%. Does Mr.. -- drink very muchi
"a. Well. he likes = toddy every day.
%. Don't he like II several times day,
"A. Well, I guess he does.
20. Is It not fact that he very frequently gets
under the influence Of whisky in his dispensaryi
a. No, sir. l never did see him.
20. Hasn't he got q big chair back there that
he gets In and sleeps II on
"a. He has got q chair, but never did see him
under the influence Of whisky.
20. You have seen him up there asleep. haven't
yout
"a. Yes. SIR"
1t was the dispensers duty to satisfy
himself every day that the goods had
not been tampered with or adulterated.
If he patronized home industries he
showed thereby his confidence In their
soundness and his generous concern
for the public. The whisky put him to
sleep. 1t did not urge him to violence.
1t made for peace. He Is rather win
dicated' than "impugned.

In the Westninster Review reminds us,

building material Is not represented
either by the intrinsic value Of the raw
material or by the profits Of tariff pro-
tected dealers. The tariff which these
people hold responsible for the increased
cost of building is doubtless the prime
cause of the establishment OF wage rates
in this country which make 1t possible
for them to build at all.
Coincident high wages and low prices
arc impossible. Wage rates and not
dealers profits regulate prices If the
house is to be cheaply built, the table
cheaply supplied and the back cheaply
clothed there must be shrinkage in
wage rates all along the line. The
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker oil want to build as cheaply as
possible. But the reduction In the cost
OF their homes will come out Of the
pockets Of logger and carpenter, brick
molder and bricklayer, quarryman
and stonecutter II the wages Of these
are cut to enable the other group to
build more cheaply, the others in their
turn will suffer from curtailed trade
following the wage reduction.
Compared with many previous periods
building is to-day very expensive. But
the fact that the people Of this country
spend about $1,000, ,Ooo. 900 year for
new buildings h q fair argument that
they have the money with which to
build. The cash receipts Of the building
and loan associations Of the country
are reported for last year as exceeding
$500, 900, ,0OO. A considerable part Of this
is represented by the earnings Of men
whose income, directly or indirectly,
depends to large extent upon industries
which would be affected by reduction
In the cost of iron, wood and stone. II
these can find some way by which they
can eat their cake and have it at the
same time a waiting world will rejoice
to learn the details OF the process.
