STRICT ENOUGH

Milk Inspector Charles II. Grantland
has taken up with some Of the coun-
cilmen the question Of passing more

applicants and submitted to the in
spector, who will make tile necessary
investigations before granting permis-
sion. without his signature to the

this is included in the new law. Another
requirement win be that the applicant
give the name of the dairyman and
the person operating the dairy or ex-

OF milk can be traced without diff

UNDESIRABLE.

I'D hate to have to live with him,
= The man who always wears
His features knotted in a frown
And groyvls like forty bears.
Who seldom opens up his face
Except to sneer or scOff,
Who carries with him night and day
The crouch that won't come on.
Who has 1t in for ,every one.
Including foe and, friend.
Including, too, himself as we'll
On that you may depend
AS though for but pleasant word
Or just a friendly sign
That the police would run him in
And make him pay a fine;
The man who has 1t figured out
That everything is wrong,
Who always has his hammer out,
Connecting with the gong:
Who thinks that happiness Is not
normal state of mind
And that the upper story leaks
If any one is kind.
I would not relish 1t to be
Tied UP to him for life.
To be those poor unfortunatea,
His children and his wife.
He ought to be the only man
Upon a desert isle
Where he could never see a face
That broke into a smile.
