from this state of affairs are the youngsters who find their hours Of study cC dU-D tn 10. .ovy of hunt reds of thousands of pupils who have to put in regular time. The milk tippling is one of the most risky indulgences incident to New York life seems to be borne out by a repOht just submitted to the health de- partment of the city milk committee in which it is stated that over two hund red thousand persons a day are served with milk fit only for cooking or man. ufacturing purposes. The investlga-
 ton upon which this statement was based included nine first class hotels. seventy-seven restaurants. one hund
 red and twenty-five lunch rooms and nineteen soda water fountains, having a total daily estimated patronage of 23O. 900 persons The disturbing feat ure of the situation is found in the fact that the examination included many places in the business and shop ping districts of Manhattan and Brook
 lyn with the resulting discovery that we'll grOomed restaurants are by no means certain dispensaries of good milk Tn fact of six high-class hotels but four passed satisfactory tests and meteorological examination showed that in the dining room of one was being served a grade of milk common lv dispensed at the corner grocery or the tenement districts. In some of the cheaper lunch rooms the noonume lac- teal beverage consists of a few gallons of fresh milk mixed with a solution made from canned milk, the resultant concOction being served at a tempera- tIIre so low as to disguise it's taste. Inst how serious is the imposition upon the milk thinker may be judged from the fact that a bacteriological eXamln- ation of 905 samples established for the whole an average rating Of but 352 per cent The lowest standard considered fit for drinking purposes IS 75 per cent or milk containing not more than 100, 900 bacteria to the cubic centimeter The report of the milk in vestigation is arOusing much interest as contrary to popular impression milk is by far the most important drink in the lunch rooms and restaur- ants in the congested business sec tions. patronized by hundreds or thousands of business men and women.
 Whether or not cat must be killed nine times to be considered legally dead is the question which now con- fronts the court of special sessions, the magistrates court having dOdged the issue upon it's first presentation. Ihe .vexed question arose through the tumble of a pet cat from a high win dow to the hard pavement below. A witness to the accident claimed that the eat was deliberately showed out and having relaed to a sympathetic policeman the narrowing details of the incident brought about the arrest of the feline's owner on a charge of at tempted cat murder Unfortunately tbe bodv of the victim was left inert upon the paVement when the prisoner was taken to court Upon the discov- erv that the corpus delicti must be established to prove the crime, a hasty return was made to the scene for the cats body Mollie. the cat, had dls- appeared and only after long search was found alive and happy in the apartment whence she had fallen or heen rushed to her supposed death
 However. cthe policeman swore that he had seen a dead cat upon llle fiue" eiih and claimed that he ought to know a dead cat when he saw one. His earn estness caused the harrassed magis- trate to pass the case along and hence the auction of how often a cat must ,e killed to be legally dead is still IT allowance pending the opinion of the learned court of special sessions.
