Your Dairy

Every dairy. in Washington is regularly in
spected and given a rating according to its
cleanliness and methods.
We publish here facsimile of the last rating
we received. You will notice that although the
inspection was made during "washing-up time"
when the dairy is naturally at its worst, we were
given 9968. This is the lowest score we have
received for some time, although 100 is the high
est obtainable.
A score sheet is furnished to each dairy
ask your dairyman to show you his. There is
no reason why he should not unless he is
ashamed of it, and you have not only the right
to know what sort of dairy you are getting
your milk from, but it is your plain duty to find
out
Remember that dirt is the greatest ally of
disease and that even pasteurizing is useless if
the pasteurized milk is allowed to become con-
taminated before it reaches you.

The Horseshoe five met another down
fall, Tuesday evening. at the Select
Roller rink when they were trimmed by
the Sacred Heart Society basketball
team 10 to 13. In the first period of the
game the losing players showed up to
good advantage and when it ended they
were one point ahead of the Sacred Heart
boys.
The Sacred Heart five played hard from
the sound of Referee Harshalrs whistle
to the finish, and III the last period they
proved too strong for the Horseshoe five
both in passing and shooting. The WIN
ners showed a vast improvement in
Tuesday nights game over their first
game of the season, and every man in
the lineup tried his hardest for victory.
Halpen and Fletcher excelled in goal
shooting for the losers, and j. Pomerleau
was the star for the Sacred Heart team.
When the game was finished the crowd
rushed onto the floor, showing signs of
hostilties, but no miXup occurred. The
crowd then went out of doors, arguing
among themselves, and two policemen
were called TO dispense the fans from

with the way that Cooper. the losing

was taken out of the game by Referee
