City Asks Aid in Crusade
Against Dirty Milk.
Hold Up Bottle and Look for
Ring Around Bottom.
NOVEMBER REPORT is OUT
Only One Dealer, a Grocery
man, With Filthy Sample.
Seven Dairymen Have Sold No.
2 Quality in City.

When the milk man or the grocery
boy delivers a bottle of milk to your
door tomorrow morning, Mrs. House
keeper, hold the bottle up to the light
If you see a ring around the bottom
of the bottle-run to your telephone
and tell the dealer just what you think
of him. If your vocabulary is limited,
If your dealer hangs up the receiver
in your ear, call up DR.. Babb, city milk
inspector at the city hall. The city
milk expert not only understands the
cows product but he is gifted with
blue atmospheric vocabulary that will
stop the watch Of any groceryman in
town.
The dark ring around the bottom of
the milk bottle means that there is
dirt in it. 1t means that the dairyman
has allowed manure to blow in his milk
pail. It means that the consumers are
drinking unsanitary liquid that babies
are living on filthy food.
The city milk inspector asks the
housewives to work with him in clean
ing the supply in Topeka. Although he
claims the dealers furnishing their pro-
duct to consumers here have the best
milk in the world, he harps for i'm
provement. One way for the amateur
to detect dirty milk is to watch for the
ring around the bottom.

strong for Sawyer and he is consid-
