THE CONTEST

Quite a number of lists of mis-
spelled words, were sent in, in our
educational contest, varying from
10 to II errors. The greater num-
Der of these were merely typograph
ical, but counted just the same as
those really misspelled, of which
there was a surprisingly long list.
Miss Opal Salsberry, aged u, of
Lawrenceburg, sent in the largest
list of errors, and wins the first
weeks contest. Her list contained
ia words as sent in, but was cut
down to ITO in this office, as these
tour words may be correctly spelled
either A
judgement or judgment
mispelled or misspelled
development or development
cured or cur'd
Errors of punctuation are not
counted in this contest. Perhaps,
we will include these later, but at
present only errors in spelling are
to be corrected.
Who will be the next winner?
Our proof reader is OH his mettle,
and stoutly declares, that whoever
it is, they won't find ia mistakes
or even half that many, this time
The contest will have at least one
good result-it will improve oul
proof reading.

CLEAN UP AND KEEP AT 1T
 TILL THE TOWN IS CLEAN

And they are going to give them not for a half day, but for the whole day
 These wagons won't accomplish much, 1t is pointed out, unless the private citizen does his individual duty.
 Each householder and property-owner Is asked to put his shoulder to the wheel Appoint yourself a committee of one to clean up the town.
 The mayor is in earnest.
 John McCartin, the street commissioner, has been and will be a pillar of strength in the work
 The whole street force has worked and will work like Indians on this clean up job
 But they can't finish the job unless the people help them. So, it's up to the private citizen to say whether the town shall be clean.
 Mayor Ward has appointed these po- licemen to do special cleanup work to- day: Nix, Ginnis, Statt, Mcknight. Bennett, Gates, Dickerson, Parker, Smith and LaRue.
 They will meet the mayor at o'clock in his office in the city hall. He will assign them each to a certain district and they will follow the wagons and see that the sanitary laws are enforced. l Clean up is the citys slogan.

Inspector Duncan Explains In Inter- view How Milk Is Tested and the Laws Requirements-Dalr
 men Must Heed.

According to City Milk Inspector E. M. Duncan a very material improvement in the condition of the milk sold to Birming- ham consumers is noticeable in the last few days. In an interview yesterday MT. Duncan attributed the improved condi- ton of the lacteal fluid marketed in this city to the publicity given to the work of his department recently by the press. Chief Inspector C. A. Collins, who came in while Mir Duncan was being inter viewed by an Age-Hera1d reporter hear tily indorsed his assistants statements.
 Both MT. Collins and MT. Duncan are decidedly of the opinion that the average per cent of normal milk should be 31s per cent instead of 3 per cent as is required by the city ordinance. Such a raise Tn the standard. they say, would work put small hardship on the dairymen while the benefit to the consumer would be very material.
 Good. normal milk" said MT. Duncan. ''shouid average S1s per cent and only per cent Is required here. However, this compares favorably with most other cities The specific gravity of good milk is from 1929 to 1033 and this Is contained in the requirements here Elghty-seven and one-half per cent is the maximum amount of water allowed in milk and any amount beyond that indicates added water. Milk should show at the mini mum 121k per cent of solids.

No Manifestations.

"No adulterations are allowed to be added to milk such as borax, boracic acid or salacyllc acid, starch, soda, far maln, water, etc, including salts or H. auids of whatever character"
 ''Is there any infallible method of de- tecting adulteration of every lSind?" was asked Mir Duncan.
 ''Yes," was the reply, we can detect even the most minute traces even to chemicals. We have different methods of testing milk for different adulterants For instance, when testing for traces of borax or boracic acid we take sample of the milk and place 1t in a small porce- lain crucible To this milk we add lime water, then place the eucible over gas flame and heat it's contents until the milk is burned to an ash. We next dissolve this ash in hydrocholric acid, filter 1t into small porcelain crucible, evaporate 1t to dryness over flame, then dissolve the white crystalline powder obtained In a small amount of alcohol and light the alcohol. If borax or boracic acid be pres ent the flame will show green in color. This Is an infallible test and our methods for finding other adulterations are just as infallibe In any case where we have ed dairy and get a sample of milk directly from a COW so as to make certain that out tests are accurate.
