At tn. hearing given by Governor
Guild to the Committee of the Boston
Cooperative Milk Producers. Mr.. Jonas
Bemis of Charlton is reported to have
said:
"A great deal of the milk sold in
Boston AS Massachusetts milk came
from Maine and New Hampshire ana
was full of tuberculosis germs ana
was not up to the standard OF mix
produced in this state and was blend
ed with ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mix
by the contractors.
Na.ed q more persistent or more sue
cessful fight against tuberculosis in
cattle than Maine and New Hamp-
shire. and the records will show that
the larger part of the cattle in both
! these states which have been found to
be infected with this disease have been
those that had been brought in from
Massachusetts. The old Bay State was
far behind both Maine and New
| Hampshire in adopting precautions tn
safeguard its herds against bovine
tuberculosis. When therefore Mr..
Jonas Bemis talks of Maine and New
| Hampshire milk being full of tubercu
losis germs" and mot up to the stan

very effectually when he says:

are now buying in the Brighton market

tested and found free from tubercu-

The Philippine Assembly.

The first Philippine assembly is now
getting down to business and The
progress it makes win be watched with
nlurn interest by the world at large
and especially. Of course, here in our

OF this new legislative body in tn"

Evidently Uncle sam is going to lose
the whole of the million dollars which
H. advanced to the jamestown FIX
position management. 1t has been
proposed in some quarters that the
government should take in charge the
exposition and conduct it as a govern
mcnt enterprise with Il view to recOv-
erng some part of the loss. but as Il
matter of fact the receipts ut the gate
are not equal to the running expenses.
and so if the government should take
charge it would only gct deeper into
the hole. The financial failure of the
jamestown Exposition, which was de-
signed to celebrate such an important
anniversary in American history, is
easy enough to account for The dis
lance of the exposition from Il great
city, the lack OF preparation for open
ing at the appointed time, and the fact
that the exposition business has been
50 muCn oVcrdonc. are reasons enough
without searching for others.
