BETTER MILK FOR DOUGLAS

Doctor-Mayor w. A. Greene is thor oughly enthused over the campaign for better milk which he has been waeing for several weeks with every evidence of success thus far And in this campaign both official and pro fessional side of the mayor is seen-
 s-The campaign for pure milk is a campaign for babes lives" he said to an International reporter. Al ready Douglas infant mortality rec ord. in my judgment, is the best in the southwest, and if there is a city in the whole country that can show a better record than that of Douglas have never heard of it. I do not believe such a city exists. But there
 is still room for improvement and better milk will lessen the death rate"
 The fight of Mayor Greene here is coincident with a campaign for pure milk which has assumed national scope. Among the leaders in the movement are the daily papers and monthly periodicals. notably the De lineator. This publication Is sending out a printed list Of questions to every health officer in the country through which it is sought to ascer- tain true local conditions in every large community respecting the milk supply on which the lives of the ba' bies depend. Mayor Greene has re lceived one of these lists and finds that answers to it will give very com plete and comprehensive information las to the milk supply.
 1 The mayor will find, too. that fl contaminated or sub-standard milk is
 sold in the city and the sellers thereof are brought before Judge Rice, the
 latter will go the limit in the matter iof punishment. The judge officially ihas not been heard on the subject
 but it is known that he has some strong opinions on the seriousness oi lendangering the lives of growing chil ldren through the medium of pool milk. and one infers that he would show no leniency for any violation oi lthe milk section of the Douglas health ordinance. | Here are some suggestions vhicf lhave been made by an eminent spe Icfalist on the subject of pure milf
 and dairy inspection:

 sTact is as necessary in an inspee ltor as knowledge.
 Personal inspection at brief inter vals without advance notice IS In lportant-
 "Refusal of license to do business Ito any dairyman who for stated lperiod has. after proper warning, con .ltinued to fall short of the require lments.
 seTuberculin tests at least once year at a nominal fee.
 1 Pasture room for an dairy cows No dairy with say thirty cows should 'lbave less than ten acres of pasturage Exercise is as necessary in Dresery ling the health of a COW as it Is Il

 Il Absolute purity of the water use' by the dairyman in cleaning his re lceptacles Bad water Is often tn source os infection. even where tn milk comes from healthy cows.
