Tim McKenna informed us the

from his brother John residing at
DeSmet, S. D., in which he depicted
the awful condition of things in his
community on account of the
drought. Many of the farmers, he
stated, have kept their stock so long,
having had hopes that rain would
come soon to revive vegetation
which is entirely burned up, that
they are on their last pegs and have

ABOUT BAD MILK.
Restaurants Selling SKINNED Milk
Must so Label the
ReceDtacle.

The arrest and prosecution of sew
eral cafes and restaurants at Mason
City charged with selling milk which
fell below the standard of law en-
phasizes the need of closer inspec-
ton of public eating places. 1t should
also serve as a warning to restau-
rants. says the Marshalltown Times
Republican.
DR.. Thompson, inspector, says
that dairymen complained that they
were selling whole milk and getting
credit for poor milk on account of
the quality served at tables and over
lunch counters of restaurants. He
tested the dairymen's milk which ran
from a little above the per cent
test to over 4 per cent. He then
tested samples from restaurants and
cafes which ran from seven-eithths
of l per cent to a little over l per
cent. Then he made trouble for the
skimmers.
According to the inspector restau-
rants buy milk by the gallon at about
18 cents. A gallon furnishes sixteen
glasses or over of milk served to Gus
toners. That is a gross receipt of
oV SCheS q 6dliOH anu d pTOHI VI OS
cents on an IS cent investment.
Skinned of the cream the price of
the cream may be added to the prof
it. The inspector figures that to buy
whole milk at IS cents and sell it
at 80 cents affords sufficient margin
and is sufficient profit. And he is
right about it. If the restauranteur
can not succeed without descending
to this petty fraud he should get out
and let somebody who can run the
place. Many of the better class of
cafes and eating places serve the
milk direct in the sealed bottles of
the dairymen. And this is an ex-
cellent and sanitary method.
The purchaser has a right to what
he buys. He pays for it and ought
to get it. The law takes that posi-
ton. If the restauranteur desires to
Sell skinned milk he must so label
the receptacle in which he keeps his
supply and have the receptacle in
sight of the customer. SO says the
inspector. The point in the entire
case is that the person who calls for
milk calls for per cent butter fat
also. If he doesn't get it he is
cheated.
The inspector will get you if you
don't watch out.
