Made Nearly Everywhere--Go'ng
After a Nuisance.

When the Newport News Board OF
Health meets next Thursday after
noon the special committee appoint
cd for the purpose will present dralt
uf an ordinance creating the ono" OF
city bacteriolNgist. The measure is
being drawn by the committee AMI
City Attorney j. A. Massie and in
NIL probability 1t will be presented ia
the city council for action at the DC
tober meeting.
In view of the great Importance OF
having the city milk supply in as
coed condition as is poS-ible. ihe
board became convinced that the APP
pointment of a bacterioiOgfst to test
the milk was absolutely necessary,
The officer would be qualified 10 test
the milk chemically and bacteriolc-
gically and such tests should insare
the sale Of milk that is absolutely
pure and wholesome. Other large
cities OF the State. including Ri'h-
mond and Petersburg have bacteri-
ologists to test the milk Of
fered for sale and the local board be-
lteves this city shonld follow the lead
Of these cities.

Health are getting down to hard
work and they believe great good for
the city's heath will result, The

for improvements already have been
made. Mr.. Elias Peyser. the mem
Der from the First ward, reports that
the sanitary conditions in his ward

can be made l.y some o. the residents.
Mr.. Albert LEM, OF the second ward,
reports that much WORK for. the better.
ment Of the sanitary coalitions of his
ward has been done and that the
work Is going ahead. In that ward
many rather bad conditions that had
not been noticed In months were
found and are being remedied Dr.
r. ]. Pretlow. of the Third ward. re-
ports that number Of places in that
ward need attention. The street
committee was requested to purchase
barrel Of kerosene oil to put or
stagnant ponds in East End for the
Z"

In the Fouff, whrd conditions OF
certain parts ct Thirtysecond stree

hoard suggested to the neusekeeperS
in that section that they give more
attention to thsir premises. In the
Second ward the board does not thint
the street sprinkling car is used quite
often enough and that the ordinance
regarding fruit and vegetable Stands
should be more rig!dy- enforced.

attack of gout. They called it "evil spirit then
