Taft Seems to Enjoy Life as
''BaChelor'' at White House

ing hoe caks and frying chicken The
president is entertaining many lunch
con and dinner guests during his bache-
lor days and the second cook is pro"
viding menus which few imported chefs
could hope to equal.
The president has happily solved the
problem of disposing of the long even
ings by taking automobile rides about
the city and suburbs. He usually starts
out on these trips about $3.50 o'clock,
returning TO the white house about II
or later. Arising about o'clock, the
president devotes nearly an hour to
dumb. bells, pulley, weights and other
forms of exercise prescribed for him
He breakfasts slowly and usually alone,
although for the last day or two he
has had guest from among the tariff
conferees. During the morning meal
and for half an hour or so afterward,
the president reads the newspapers. Be
tween $3.50 and 10 clock he begins his
busy day in the executive offices, AT
l:30 O'Clock comes luncheon at the
white house, at which time some IN
vited guest for company is present. The
afternoon is devoted to golf. for the
president hopes to play every afternoon
that he remains in Washington. Dim
ner always finds guests assembled, and
usually it is an informal and de-
lightful meal, which begins little
after 7 o'clock and continues for an
hour and half.

MILK SAMPLES ARE ANALYZED

City Food and Dairy Commissioner
Walter Frazier on Tuesday had samples
of milk from number of dairies sup
plying milk to the residents of Salt
Lake City thoroughly analyzed by City
Chemist Herman Harms and most Of the
milk was up to the standard require
mcnts, excepting in the matter of tenn
perature. The milk from the Hill Farm
dairy contained only 1860 per cent
solids, which is way below the standard
of 10 per cent required by the milk or
dinance; hence, there will probably be
a prosecution in that case because the
milk showed that II had been watered,
The matter Of keeping the milk down
TO the proper temperature is receiving
the attention OF Mr.. Frazier Just now,
and he reports that the dairymen COM
plain about it because of the cost of
keeping ice. Tests have shown that the
additional cost is only about Is cents
per day; hence, there is no excuse for
not keeping the milk down to the proper
