President Taft in the primaries,
neither accepted nor refused the in

STATE HEALTH BOARD
SETS MILK STANDARD.

Local milk vendors will be inter
ested in the latest action of the
board of health.
Milk, in passing inspection from
now on, will have to contain less
than 10000 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter or come under the ban of the
state board of health.
Inspected milk means that has
passed the local board of health
tests and the producers of which
have complied with those ordinances
covering it's production and sale. In
a word, the new order of things is
the establishment of a standard and
guidance in the sale of clean milk
throughout the state. 1t has no ap
plication to certified milk.
Standard Set BY Board.
The action of the state board of
health makes the standard of less
than 100000 bacteria statewide. Mu,
inequalities and prosecuting officials
from now on will have to guide
themselves accordingly Dr. Brack-
en-, secretary of the board, thinks
the new standard will materially aid
in the sale of clean milk through
out the state.
The board has had more or less
trouble with the compilation of vital
statistics and it has ordered that
town clerks, local boards of health
and others concerned with the GER
tificates of births, death and diseases
must make good or suffer the pen
atty of fine.

of d. M. Jones who said that Lick
insulted lady on South Front

the street, when the girl in question
smiled so pleasantly at him that he
said: How do you do?" and at that
moment, a gentleman stepped out
and called an officer. Lick formerly
worked for the Consumers Power
company, and has never been in
trouble like this before, according
to his own story.
When brought before Judge Com
stock this morning, Lick said that he
thought he knew the young lady
whom he had addressed
The judge asked Lick why he did
not apologize when he learned that
he had made a mistake.
Lick replied that the man who ap-
preached him was so mad that he
did not think it best for himself to
remain on the scene, so he made
himself scarce"
Lick pleaded guilty to the charge
of disorderly conduct and paid fine
of $25 and costs.
