THE SPIRIT OF UNION
Being Worked Out in Various Fac
tons Of the Methodist Church.

Chicago, Feb. l0.-Union of the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Methodist Episcopal church South,
was urged strongly Wednesday by
John A. Patton of Chattanooga, Tenn.
chairman of the book committee of the
Methodist Episcopal church which met
for its initial session.
There is no reason" Mr.. Patton
said. why there should be more than
one Methodist church in America to-
day"
The split in the church occurred in
1874 over the question of slavery and
Mr.. Patton insisted that church leaders
obova and below Mason and Dixon's
line believe the time has come when
the breach between the sections can
be healed permanently.
The spirit of union found expression
later in the day when it was decided
the publishing shesBss lDcated in New
York, Cincinnati and Chicago should

WaterVille Milk
Inspector SReport.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
CoTnci! ot the city nf Waterville:
GIntlemen-I herewith submit my re-
port for the year ending Jan. 81. 1910.
The milk inspector did not receive
as the state is issuing licenses to the
milk dealers free of charge
At the present time there are about
80 milk carts run in the city and IL sell
milk in their stores. Eleven sell milk
from tleir residences and two bakers
sell to their customers when asked to.
One hundred and five samples Of milk
were testet and only Is stood below
standard Those samples showing less
than 8 per cent. of butter fat were
taken from stores and bakers with but
two exceptions. | have applied the tu-
bercdlin test "a cattle in 40 places sup
plying milk To Waterville and have
not found any animals diseased with
tuberculosis. | have found some dis
eased with tuberculosis outside of the
Waterville milk supply
In general the cattle We're found in
eooo health, milk rooms clean and san
itary. water supply good The milk
coming direct from the farms is eX-
cellont. but we have blended milk
that is being sold in the city that tests
about par cent. under the Babcock
test and every can and hottie OF this
milk should lie marked plainly before
it is delivered and ! would recommend
that the next city government do some
thing in the matter. as the law at pres
ent is not quite clear about the mark
ing If this milk.
During the typhoid fever epidemic
the past summer the local Board of
Health and the milk inspector worked
together to see if the milk supply had
anything to 90 with the spread of the
disease. BY the recommendation of Dr.
Fish of the board. | began to take
samples from every known source and
supply and forwarded it to Prof. III. ID.
Evans, State Laboratory of Hygien,
Augusta. for a meteorological test. GO
ing to Augusta I made arrangement 5
with Prof. Evans to handle< about n
dozen samples day. After four days
of hard work. the State Board OF
Health notified DR.. Fish that they had
a better and shorter way to find out
the source of contagion. which No
doubt DR.. Fish will fully explain in
his report.
Our milk dealers are striving and are
having wonderful success in giving
their customers pure. clean, sanitary
milk. and the city of Waterville should
be congratulated on her supply Of milk.
