porlance of having a milk inspector.
Ii is no reflection on honest milk-deaI-
efs, but rather a benefit. II even pre-
vents adalteration by dishonest dealers
as the penalty for 80 doing is severe. A
milk pedder in sutlield had to pay 50

who adulterates milk without a chem
ieal inspection. SO common did adul-
teration of milk and other foods be-
come, that not only the States but the
National Government had TO interfere
To prevent the serious loss of health and
life, by enacting stringent laws to pre-
vent and punish the crime. Its duty
of the people To see that the laws are
enforced. 1t can be done by first or
dering by vote at any town or city pub
lie meeting the appointment of milk
inspector and then see that he enforces
the law.
