LEMON MILK IS
DRUNK IN ORANGE
Supply from Pennsylvania
Town Given Rigid Inspection
by Suburban Officials.

If Lemon, Pa, wants to serve mill
to Orange, N. j., the aforesaid Lemon
must have a higher standard Of
service. At a meeting of the Orange
Board of Health last night DR.. DAME
w. Poor reported that the mill
dealers of Lemon had shown consid-
cradle progress in handling the mill
since the inspections in the spring
but twenty-four of the ifty-five
dairies which supply a big firm which
sends the tactical fluid to Orange con-
sumers still have a rating below &C
per cent, which is the lowest average
a supply man can have and still dc
business with Orange folk.
The inspection conducted by the
State Board of Health inspectors
lasted five days in Lemon, and j.
Scott MacNutt, Oranges health in
spector, was directed to send a letter
asking DIR. Samuel Davis, State COM
missioner of health in Pennsylvania,
to cooperate with Orange folks In
raising the Lemon standards of milk.
DR.. Poor, who Is associated with
the New York Department of Public
Health, will go abroad next month
to study for a year in German lab
oratories, and his place as bacteriol-
ogist for Orange will be taken by DR.
Walter Dodge. The cultures will be
developed in the Orange board rooms
an incubator having arrived for the
purpose this morning.
Despite the caution against the use
of wells, Mr.. MacNutt told the board
last night that the mosquito inspect
ors discovered thirty-five in use, In
addition to the twenty-five charted
by the health board, and the In
spector will get after these with his
little sharp stick. Three wells were
ordered closed, owing to dangerous
condition of the water. THE ole
oaken bucket while popular In
summertime, owing to the cooling
draughts in rear yards, is still a pro-
life source of danger to patrons.
On invitation from Selskar M
Gum, one-time Orange health Officer
and assistant secretary-general OF
the fftieth congress on hygiene ant
demography, which will meet II
washington, d. c., on September %
%, MIR. MacNutt was directed to at
tend the sessions, and DR.. o IS te
go as a New York representative.
The board passed an ordinance pro-
viding authority for the health de-
partment In instances where house
plumbing is not up to requirements
Formerly the board had to simply CO.
operate with plumbers in getting al
fairs in sanitary condition. Now the
plumbing will be ordered not used
until put in proper shape.
Douglas Todd. representing Con-
stanza Kurakoffo. of Liberty street
a midwife, who is defendant in Or
ange District Court proceedings fol
violation Of an ordinance, asked leni,
ency for his client, pleading. her ig.
but the board insisted the
case must proceed tomorrow when
called for trial.
The August figures showed twenty
five cases of contagious diseases with
two deaths from these, thirty-six res
idents died and sixteen non-residents
expired in hospitals. Market inspec-
ton showed cooperation by dealers
say a few of the small ones, and
these will be carefully watched. prue
and confectionery stores are Inspected
to compel thorough washing fol-
glasses after use, and Mr.. McNuti
will make certain proper wrapping of
bread and other bakery products.
The inspector recommended publ
cation of laboratory examinations OF
milk as affording keener interest Oh
the part of the public and to stimu-
late milk dealers to get better sup
plies.
