PUGET Sound Cities Seek Grain-Rate

Tacoma.-Believing it useless fur
Their to await the answer promised by
R. B. Miller, general agent of the o.
w. r. & N, as to placing Puget Sound
cities on an equality with Portland in
grain rates from Inland Empire
points, the State Millers' Association
will meet this week to adopt plan
of action.
The transportation bureaus of Ia
coma ands Seattle are with the millers
in the fight The question to be de-
cided is that Of whether the appeal for
redress shall be made to the public
service commission of this state or to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A decision In favor of the shippers by
the latter will have more effect than
one by the former On the other hand,
matters before the Interstate Com
merce Commission are apt to take a
long time to carry to decision,
whereas a decision can be obtained
from the Washington Public Service
Commissioners within ten days to a
month.

Clean Milk.

R. S. Smith, State Dairy Inspector
of Augusta was recently in town on
business and leaves the following ex-
preston with us for publication:
Have been in town looking after
the milk supply. Several cases have
been reported to the local inspector,
Mr.. Harris, where sickness of chill
dren has been caused by bad milk.
The milkmen supplying milk to these
families and every other family should
be required to deliver clean milk or
men, while they claim to be selling
pure milk were found to have quite a
bit of sediment in the milk This
sediment gets there because an open
pail is used and the men are careless
in handling 1t is "a mistaken idea if
milkman thinks he can let the dirt
an impossihility, as there will always
be sediment If dirt is once in the
milk. The cases of sickness reported
as due to impure milk were no doubt
due tn a high bacteria count and pos
sibly disease producing bacteria due
to the presence of sediment in the
milk and THE use of unclean and I'M
steriltzed cans or bottles. Milk sam
pies were taken recently from most
of the dealers and they will be tested
for composition and in special cases
for disease producing bacteria.
THE public cannot be too particular
in this matter. Dirty milk should not
be received by any consumer A
glance at the bottom of the bottles
each morning or better, let the milk
stand AN hour then pour three-fourths
off the top and then warm the rest and
mix, then strain through a small piece
of cotton or sheet wadding SO as to
collect the sediment in a small area.
This will give an idea of the amount
and different kinds of dirt to be
found and when tried 1t brings sur
prising results sometimes.
"A milkman who refuses to take pre-
cautions against dirt entering milk
when shown the sediment should not
receive the patronage of people who
desire clean milk and consequently
safeguard against disease.
"UncleaD milk may be the source of
almost any kind of disease germs and
a dealer who sells dirty milk has no
place in the community for he is a
menace to the health of that COM
Too much space cannot be
given to this cause.
Yours for clean milk

The quarantine was raised from 80
places where there have been cases of
smallpox In Auburn, Dec. 20, and the
Board of Health believes the situation
is thoroughly under control. There is
but one case in the city now under
quarantine. There are, however, about
dozen cases of scarlet fever, and
just now this is causing the board
more anxiety than the smallpox situa-
ton.
