MILK IS EXCESSIVELY
 FILTHY HEALTH BOARD
 SAYS IN ITS BULLETIN

''The attention of the Health Offic- ers," says the State Board of Health in its bulletin for the current month, ''is called to the necessity of a proper inspection of the milk supply, espec- tally during the hot summer months. It Is today generally acknowledged that an impure milk supply is respon- sible for a considerable part of the in- testinal troubles among children.
 "The milk that the public is buying today is frequently deficient in fat, is occasionally watered, is sometimes old and just ready to sour, is sometimes filled with millions of bacteria and is excessively filthy. That 1t occasion ally distributes typhoid fever has been many times demonstrated
 These conditions are not all due to dishonesty, some are the result of ig- norance and others Of carelessness. A dealer thoughtlessly sells the top of a can of milk to one customer and the bottom to another. without any inten- tion of dealing unfairly; but the result is that one, customer obtains 10 per cent. of cream while the other gets only per cent This is not an imag- mary case, but is occurring every day in our towns as has been shown by the analysis of milks purchased of mill1men and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The fact is that al- though there are good laws on the statute books in Connecticut the public is generally without any protection whatsoever Rs to the quality of milk it buys"

Bryan Says Democrats
 Made Mistake in Congress

Chicago. June 17.-William Jennings Bryan got into the atmosphere of H. l1nois politics yesterday. He received a number of Illinois political lights in his room at the Congress Hotel Among the early callers was Roger C. Sullivan, Democratic national commit teeman, and Charles Boeschenstein, chairman of the Democratic national committee. Urey Woodson of Ken- lucky, secretary of the Democra tic national committee, accompanied MT. Sullivan on his visit to the Nebraskan.
 MT. Bryan reiterated former declar- ations that he is not and does not con- template becoming a candidate for United States Senator from Nebra ska. He was ready to talk tariff but shied at the income tax. Here is his com ment relative to the action of Dem- ocrats in voting for higher duties.
 The Democrats who voted for a higher tariff on lumber and iron made mistake in my judgment. However, they are not in the same class with Republicans who voted for higher rates on other articles because the duties on lumber and iron were low It was a mistake for Democrats to vote for a higher tariff when many Republicans were ready to put those articles on the free list. They made an argument that may be used against the Demo- crats in the next campaign"

This achievement is credited to the influence of Congressman Hill who favors free trade in Philippine tobac- co. except perhaps during political campaigns.
 Would it be an unreasonable sug- gestion that as Philippine fllers can be profitably used here, and as Con necticut wrappers can be prof1tably used in the islands, there should be tariff-free interchange of the two products, which would benefit the growers and cigar manufacturers of both this country and the Philippines? :? It would perhaps meet with an un- favorable reception, for reason counts for but little in tariff matters. In terested parties are generally very timid, and are affrighted by even the ghost of competition.

PRrsIDENT TAFrs

F Fresident Taft advocates a tax of 2 per cent on the undistributed net 1axninks of corporations, largely upon the ercund that 1t would give a health -fuI pnbIfcfty to their condition and fhus not only augment the value of thefrs shares but also increase the se- fnrity of the holders of shares. 1t 1oSu not appear whether this tax 1roal0 be retroactive-that is. whether IF n6< ft would be collected upon the 55ufDins reserves of corporations. some &f@hich have them in very large 6rpuufs-or whether it would reach u1v <4he surplus left after the declar- x1ion Of future dividends It is also mnooff0u whether the tax would reach

 one Important point of support for {he Presidents propoeition appears to have been overlooked by him. It is Int corporations would with this tax lm operation. declare in dividends the nm amount of their net earnings in order to escape the tax, instead of xllfhhoIding as much as possible, with 1Srf deoreasing their dividend rate. for add1fi0n to their surplus reserves. The Warmer has, on previous occasions. re- ferred to this practice as wrongful and urmf To the share holder of today
