REPORT OF DIRECTOR
. EVANS STATE LAB
ORATORY OF HYGIENE

1T is quite evident that there has
been no noticeable improvement in
the quality of market milk, but rather
a falling off. as is shown in the large
increase in the low standard milk OF
the past two years" states Prof. H. D.
Evans, director of the state laboratory
of hygiene, in his biennial report
which was filed with the Governor
and Council Friday.
This falling off in the quality OF
market milk is also shown by the
figures giving the number Of dirty
samples during the last two biennial
periods" continues Prof. Evans. MY
last report noted the large number Of
samples that contained noticeable
amounts of dirt, and comment was
made on the danger arising from the
use of dirty milks. The fact tina.
these samples were reported as dirty
in the bulletins of the Department OF
Agriculture was hoped to have some
effect in decreasing the number Ut
such samples. The reverse has just

Stevens Tank and Tower o., VS.. Ber-
lin Mills Co. Rescript, Cornish, ].
In an action of assumpsit to recover
the price of hard pine tank sold and
delivered to the defendant
Held:
/. That the real issue is, whether
the goods sold were of the kind, quail
ity and dimensions called for by the
contract.
g. That this was question of fact
under proper instructions from the
court on which the jury found in IA
yor of the plaintiff, and the record
fails to convince us That the finding
is so manfestly wrong that it must
be set aside.
g. That the defendants attempted
rescission by writing the plaintiff that
the tank was in defendants yard at
Berlin subject to the plaintiffs ship
ping instructions does not meet the
requirements of law.
4. That the seller must be put in
substantially the same position that
he occupied before the contract; and
the notification of vendor by the
vendee, that the latter holds the goods
subject to the order of the former
is insufficient.
s. That the agreement on the part
of the plaintiff to furnish a man to
set up the tank was a subsequent
and independent contract and not a
condition precedent to- the maintenance
of an action for the price.
6. A witness who was neither the
agent nor representative of the plain
tiff and who has testified that he did
not recollect making a statement re-
garding workmanship, may be con-
tradicted by showign that he did make
such statement, but the statement
itself is properly excluded as he had
no power to bind the company.

tanned in restaurants and cafes of the
first class, this being permitted on the
theory that the lower classes would
not enter such establishments But
the authorities did not count on the
determination and ingenuity of the
habitual vodka drinker.
Topers Of the peasant class arrayed
themselves in f1nery to which they
had never been accustomed and thus
sartorially fortified went to the best
restaurants where their thirst was
allayed There remained no course
open to the proprietors but to serve
them. and to meet the situation the
sale of vodka and drinks of kindred
strength has been prohibited abso-
lutely throughout all Petrograd,
though nearly so restaurants may still
dispense some light wines, champagne
and beer. Besides vodka, sherry, port
and madeira are banned.
The peasantry, it is related, often
gained entrance to restaurants of the
first class by the simple expedient of
