DIR. Babb Asks Cooperation of
Topeka Women.
NE REPORT IS GOOD

Every effort is being made by DR..
George F. Babb, city milk inspector, to
see thai the milk dealers in Topeka are
not using preserVatiVes in their product
during the summer months. 1t is a
common and harmful custom in many
cities in the country for dealers to use
artificial methods in hot weather to
keep the milk sweet. The Topeka milk
inspector has been unable to find any
signs of this process in Topeka. Fur
ing doing along this line in this city.
, The report on the condition of the
milk sold in Topeka for the month of
June, just issued by DR.. Babb shows
only one dealer with dirty milk and
two with second grade liquid All of
1.-The remaining dealers came UP to the
ton office at the city hall.
1.-The housewives of Topeka must
take care of the milk this hot weather
if they wish to prevent the natural bac-
terial growth that follows careless
handling" DR.. Babb admonished to-
day. Keep the milk where it is cool
| and see that it is not enclosed with
eatables that give forth an odor or
taste-the milk will absorb everything
near it,
The June report shows the following
standing of the dealers in Topeka for
the last thirty days. If your dealer is
not up to standard in the list printed
below take it up with him. The city
milk inspector solicits assistance. He
is willing to run down all complaints.

Bishop Rowe has been in Alaska for
sixteen years. He declares that the

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

Sheriff Harris and Cornor Klatte
returned last evening with the
remains of the man killed On the
Tuscarora road yesterday. An
inquest was held this forenoon and
the jury found that his name was
Joseph Doyle. a native Of Ireland,
aged 45 years. and that he came to
his death by falling off a load of
lumber and being run over by the
10 ded wagon.
He was a swamper for Dave
Stafford who was driving one of
George Williams teams He was
badly crushed about the hips and
lower part of the abdomen and his
neck seemed to be broken.
Doyle had been drunk around
town for several days before going
out with the team and his death
was probably due to too much
whiskey. +
