these rapidly multiply into

Tuberculosis. scarlet fever.
diphtheria, septic sore throat.

often caused by raw milk and
cream. and no amount of in
spection can be relied upon to
prevent milk contamination
at all times.
The only reliable means for
preventing milk infections is
pasteurization, and this SIM
pie treatment does not change
the character of the milk nor
affect its nutritive value or its
digestibility.

DA|RYMEN IN FAVOR
OF TEST SAYS GLEN
Dairy Inspector Believes Bot
tling and Sterilization
Needed First.

That Richmond dairymen would be
willing to have the tuberculin test ap-
piled to their herds was asserted by
the new dairy inspector, DR.. Lou
Clem, today.
Il have talked to several of them
and have found them all in favor of it.
Indeed two or three have already
come to my office to ask me about
testing their herds
DR.. Glen expressed himself in ia
vor of compulsory bOttling and sterl-
lization of containers and utensils.
"These are the main things after all
1t is dipped milk and infected utensils
or bottles that most often open the
door to disease If council will amend
the present milk ordinance to include
these provisions, we can guarantee
pure milk to the community"
In speaking of his recent experience
in inspecting local bakeries, groceries
and meat shops, DR.. Glen said he had
been surprised how high grade they
were.
This city is exceptionally blessed
with grocery stores. Never before
have | seen so many of such excellent
character. | didn't find one grocery in
bad shape l found only one meat shop
below par but that was operated by
attention of the proprietor OF the con
ditions, he immediately took steps tC

JOHNSON IN COURT
FOR ROVER'S OWNER

The interest which will be taken in
the trial of the complaint Of the Rich
mond Lake and Park company to have
an injunction issued against Captain
Henry Rodgers to restrain him from
operating his craft, Wild Rover, on
Morton lake, was apparent this morn
ing when crowds flOcked to the court
house or made telephone inquiry as
to the suit.
Henry L. Johnson appeared for Cap
tain Rodgers. Many believed the case
would be under trial, but the appear
ance was merely form of legal pro
Cedure. Just what action will be taken
is not known, but probably Il demur-
rer will be filed. The sustainment of
this would probably mean that the
suit would have to be re-filed in court
and another round of court procedure
gone through.
Captain Rodgers did not appear in
person. Members of the lake and
park company were not present, al
though several stockholders and many
froOuenterS of the park We're in the

parent legal action The lake and park
company was represented by two law
firms. Shiveley e Shiveley and Gard
