right and just to the people of WASH
ington. These laws should be rigid and
should be enforced TO the limit. The
| first step in the accomplishment of this
object is the careful and frequent eXami-
nation of milk by competent chemists.
l assume. also. that it will be the purpose
to have all cows from which milk is sent
to this city tested by competent veter-
mary surgeons. Then diseased animals
will be rejected.
But then. this becomes matter of
vital interest to the producer dairyman
The beard should see to it that their
veterinarians are competent examiners
In some instances one-half of the entire
herd has been condemned. and afterward
it was ascertained that these cows were
not diseased al all, thus entailing great
loss upon the owner. without recourse.
The bill now before Congress, and which
has the approval of the Commissioners
gives them the power to promulgate
such regulations as in their Judgment
may be necessary to fix the conditions
and manner under which milk cream
etc. may be offered for sale in this Dis
trict.'
The word regulations" in the fifth SEC
ton OF this act confers such authority
upon the Commissioners so that all cows
shall be subjected to the "tuberculin
test in order that it may not be pos
sibe for poisonous milk to be sold in
this District. In the execution of such
a proposition 1t is proba BILE that one-half
of the producers may be put out of BUSH
ness.
If the people of Washington are to be
thus provided with pure milk they should
pay the full price of the stock thus con-
demned to indemnify the producer The
owner should not be compelled to stand
the loss. If no such provision is made
for the protection of the producer the

losses will run up to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. and many country dairy :
men will be ruined. AS rule. the own
er of the stock cannot know that his cows
are not sound.
A bill has been prepared and intro
duced into Congress by the producers
which specifically provides that the ami
mails shall not be subjected to the "tuber-
cuiin test" 1t is not probable that such
a bill can pass. Taking all things into
consideration, the Commissioners should
have full Jurisdiction In the premises, es-
pecially in a matter so vitality important
to the innocent consumers.
1t is advisa bic, therefore, that section
: in the Commissioners bill be so amend
ed that ii provide that payment shall be
made to the owner of all condemned cat >
tie in simple justice to the owners. Other
wise the bill should not become a law.
The prediction of DIR. Woodward that
the prices of milk and cream will be very
considerably increased will doubtless be
verified, but it will be better all around
for the people, even at a much higher
price. than that they should be compelled
to use impure or poisonous milk.

Pure Milk for Washington.
To the Editor Of The Star


1t is we'll understood that the Com
missioners have taken steps where pos
sible under the present statutes to pro-
tect the citizens of Washington from the
use of poisonous or adulterated milk, and
no doubt a strong effort will be made to
secure such action by Congress as will
enable them to carry out their purposes
to the fullest extent There are, however,
two parties to be considered in the en-
actment of a law which should provide
fair and equitable treatment for all who
are concerned. Hundreds of producers
are today delivering milk to consumers
and dealers in the city, and these pro-
ducers as a rule have a hard life The
middleman or city dairyman has his own
customers, who are to have the milk
delivered to them every morning. The
country dairyman sends his product to
the city by rail or by wagons that fire.
quently come from ten to fifteen miles,
and thts consumes nearly all night.
The present extraordinary high prices
of all feed required for cows. taken in
connection with the high price of labor
give the producer a very slim margin
for profit. The city dairyman. who is
the middle man in the business, is certain
to reap his profits. regardless of the
producer. The enactment OF laws that
shall protect the innocent consumer is

was acquired in the open market and is
said to have been disposed of in the SAM

the trading in the stock is most active.
The stock has been selling between Sof

HERE'S MAN THAT SAYS JOB

After Strenuous Time at What He
Thought Was Simple Undertake
Ing He Had to Give Up
the Job.

-
Say" spoke up the mar whose
wife went home to spend the hoi-
days, "d'jever try to make 4 bed3
Did yuh?
IT you did," said the lonesome look
ing man, then l don't need to say
anything to you. But amt It the
tricky job? Looks easy, too. How
duh s'pose a woman ever manages
to get away with making two or three
beds In a house and then get any
thing else done that day?
Now, the other morning when I
got up and found all the bed clothes
pulled loose from their mornings at
the foot l says to myself: Five days
is long enough for a bed to go with
out bein' made. I'll just make it, I'd
never tried on the bed making propo-
sition, but it looked simple enough.
My wife used to make the bed in our
room just while l was putting on my
collar and then slip in and make up
the children's beds before I cd get
my hair combed.
We'll, I tried smoothing out the
sheets and blankets, first from n
side Of the bed and then Id race
around to the other side and rub EN-
down. But did they get smoothed
out? They did not. They got mor
askew every time l touched EN-. Then
/ tried tucking EN- in at the foot, 30
that I ct least wouldn't have my toes
sticking out into the chill atmosphere
when l went to sleep that night. When
I got 'em tucked I found a big welt
across the foot of the bed caused by
some kivvers that I failed to get hold
Of. Then when l saw just how ruff
fed up they were all owe the bed I
decided to pull them all OF and start
w again.
Il took EN- OF and then put 'em all
on again, n at a time, and the bed
looked pretty solid and ever except
for one quilt looping over a little too
much toward the floor on one side,
but the operation took me just 40
minutes by the clock over on the
dresser.
Then I thought while I was at 1t
I would make the pillows stack up
plumb, the way I'd seen 'em before
the missus went home. Say, I wonder
how that's done. l would pick 'em
up and lay EN- down again just as
easy like and try to smooth them out

looking as If they were just about all
in. They didn't seem to be up on the
bit at all. / don't know when I've
