children was that they should drink the
milk out OF sanitary individual cups,
which were also supplied free. The milk
was given the little ones after II had
been passed through a claritier to show
the method OF puritication. while the
foul residue strained out was displayed
under the microscope to all who cared

from contamination" declared the ex-
hibitor. AT least, all the specimens
which have come u4der my observation
have proven so. 1t is far better than
that which I have examined In certain
other cities"
