that have recently been made

The samples were collected from
the milk depots, the dairymen, the

when a sample was found to be wat

ton was made to determine who was
responsible. About 700 samples were
analysed in Louisville and IS cases
reported for prosecution. In most
instances the milk was taken from
from the dairymen's herds to deter
mine how much water had been ad-
ded to the milk as supplied by the

So it came to pass that he hied

The product and its appeal to the

But the business man was not salts

But, sad to relate, likewise quite

THIS ADVERTISING
PAYS
Results Obtained by Sacramento De-
velopment Association Have Been
Very Satisfactory.

Although less than half of the $780,
600 advertising fund of the Sacrament
to Valley Development association has
been available during the past three
months, tangible results have been OBJ
tanned. according to the report of Sec
rotary o. H. Miller.
The report showed that big results
are commencing to accrue from the
eastern advertising, which the associ-
aticn recently placed in about seventy
large publications. From July Is to
August Is a total CT 1920 inquiries
were received from this advertising.
OF the inquiries received, as stated in
the report, farm journals lead with
551, daily newspapers with 1877, and
magazines, 140; those received from
miscellaneous sources were 80, and
from the Sunset Magazine, so. This
is an average cost of so cents per in
quiry, and which is regarded as ex-
ceptionally good for the poorest month
of the year, and is considerably below
the average usually established as the
cost for each inquiry.
The members of the committee de-
clared themselves pleased with the re-
suits of eastern advertising and voted
to appropriate $500 to be used in
additional advertising during the win
ter months.
