This is the sentiment generally ex'
pressed among those who drink Ia,
tactical fluid, as a result OF the rise
IN price recently adopted BY the locaI
%dairymen.
The milk vendors claim that tho
sanitary precautions required by the
city and the standard OF milk specified
as well as increased cost of feed, make
a raise in price necessary
The cattle sanitary board through
the Morning Journal has already
pointed out that the tuberculin test

II tho price o. milk Is to be raised
1t is the desire Of the people that the
daitymen sell better milk.
The figures on the city chemists re-
port for the month of October, sub
initted 10 the Morning journal by the |
'tty physician, show that while the |
'ity requires three and one-fourth per |
of fats IN h milk, one dairyman

standard. At the same time another |
showed only two ana eight
enths per cent fats-littlc more than

1t is hard to see why the city should
Tot compel all the dairies TO maintain
standard Of say five per cent fats, If
hey are going to raise the price.
