street, was the scene last evening OF
gay gathering of young people, their
daughter, Miss Bartlett, entertaining
about fifty friends with dance.
The occasion was in celebration OF
ST. Valentines day, and the good old
saints emblem, a heart, was used to
shape the invitations and also as The
motif for the decorations. An orches-
ira furnished music for the dancing
in the large reception hall, and here a
myriad of hearts decorated the walls
and dainty valentines were used for
the programs.
In the dining room, where supper
was served, the table was in red and
white, hearts apparently having set
tied over the dainty furnishings 'ke a
swarm of bees. Red hearts were scat

the scarlet shades of the candelabra
serving as a background for num-
| berless tiny white hearts and hearts
swung, pendant, from the electc 'lier
above. The center of the table was
graced with scarlet carnations chat
rested in a quaint silver punch bow
that had belonged to Miss Bartlett

MILK IS PUT
TO THE TEST
PHYSICIAN DISCOVERS MEASURE
is SHORT
ALMOST THREE OUNCES LEFT
OUT IN QUART
Says Board of Health Refused to Take
Action on Disclosures Made to
Them Eight Months
Ago

That short measure Is the rule in the
delivery of milk to customers In Los
Angeles, and that the state board or
health refuses to take any action in
remedying this glaring evil when he
drew their attention to it over eight
months ago, are some of the startling
facts disclosed by DR.. H. G. Marx
miller of $40 West Sixteenth street yes
terday.
II have noticed in the papers ac-
counts of the milk frauds being discov-
cred. in Los Angeles" said DIR. Marx
miller, land l could but remember the
time over eight months ago when told
the board of health of these same
frauds being perpetrated upon the pub
lie by the local milk dealers, and how
the board turned me down, and told me
it was none of my business.
II had my suspicious aroused prior to
that time, and so I got to measuring
the milk delivered at my house. ex-
planned DR.. Marxmiller. Il found after
careful measurements day after day for
some time that the milk dealer was
always from 21s to ounces short on
each quart in his delivery of milk. So
deducted the total amount of milk
short, reported 1t to the dairy COM
pany when they presented me with
their bill for three months, and they
made up for the amount of milk they
had actually stolen from me In this
manner.
Short in Quality
"Not only are they short in quantity,
but in quality as well. There is far too
liberal supply of water in the greater
amount of milk passed out to the I'M
suspecting public in Los Angeles.
"Well, when 1 had gotten the milk
company to pay me back what they
owed me in this manner reported the
matter to the board of health, and
asked them If they would not investi-
gate the matter. But they told me
quite distinctly it was none of my bust
ness, and so they slept on until now
see public opinion is aroused.
81 would advise the public to pur-
chase some cheap milk measures and
50 determine for themselves just what
amount of milk they are obtaining from
their dealers. The sum of thirty cents
a month, which the dealer owes you on
account of shortage in delivery is suf-
ficient to furnish them with big profit,
when all the dealers are taken into con-
sideration all over the city. 1t amounts
to almost thousand dollars year, in
fact, which is stolen from the citizens
of Los Angeles.
mot only in quantity but in quality
as we'll, the milk dealers seek to rob us.
Thus they should be brought to terms. y
Several Los Angeles people, speaking
of this subject declared that they have
purchased scaleo on which they had
their ice and their coal weighed, and
say that the scales paid for themselves
in one seasons time by showing up the
shortage in delivery, which otherwise
| would have passed by unnoticed.
