sumers Against Impure or Infect

S"HoIs ASallSt impure or Infect
ed Dairy Products.
Rev. Henry Brannon, the state

people who supply milk and butter

the provisions of the dairy inspection
act that was passed by the legislature
at the 1914 session. The following is
an extract from the act as passed
and approved by the governor:
Section 6. Be it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid. That any
person, persons, firm or corporation
violating any of the provisions of this
act, or the rules and regulations pro-
mulgated by authority of the same.
shall be guilty of misdemeanor. Vio-
lations of this act shall be tried with
out undue delay in any court of COM
petent jurisdiction.
Paragraph l. No milk bottle used
for the delivery of milk shall be used
for any other purpose by any one at
any time.
Paragraph 2. 1t shall be the duty
of consumers to return milk or cream
bottles or cans to dairymen or deal
ers thoroughly washed and cleaned.
Paragraph 3. Persons or families
having any infectious or contagious
disease shall not return to dairymen
any receptacle or bottle which was in
their possession at the time of dis
coyery of such disease until the per-
sons and premises are declared free
of disease, unless such bottles are
first properly steriliZed or disinfect
ed. During the period of illness such
persons or families shall furnish his
or their own receptacle for milk.
1t will be wise for all who sell milk
or butter to the public to strictly OBJ
serve the provisions of the new law,
otherwise they are liable to prose-
cution.

"Old Josh Lee was a miser, and he
breakfasted every morning on oat-

an end. The convalescent home has ac-

room has constantly to be made for the

Other services in like kind 1t renders

"I am fond of flowers" she said, ana
though 1t is difficult to garden extern
ward a pleasant bower of vines and
shrubbery We seldom leave Washing
ton for the summer: so garden Is an
almost indispensable adjunct.
Il have found that Washington Is not
the torrid place during summer months
that 1t is sometimes painted. MY nus

get away and we have often remarked
that 1t is no hardship to remain mere

Mr.. and Mrs Lansing have a home at
Henderson Harbor, N. Y. 1t overlooks
Lake Ontario. and here Mrs. Lansing
INDUCES to its utmost her fancy for
flowers and gardening.
It is with reluctance that Mrs. Lam
sing consents to speak Of herself. She
who has an enviable confidence where
social matters are concerned, is ex-
tremely diffident when asked to air her
hobbies or give her opinions. Like
many wives Of public men whose work
is Of vast Importance. she feels that
people are not interested in her.
II am afraid that there is little to
tell about myself" she said. after the
interviewer prevailed upon her to
change her viewpoint in this particular
case. II have lived in Washington all
Of my life. with the exception Of trips
abroad in my girlhood. and I do not
feel that 1 am in any sense new hg-
ure or one with whom Washington
must become acquainted.
However. It does seem odd to me
that such a resemblance should exist
between the season in Washington
when father was Secretary of State
and the one Just passed. They were
similar in many respects. Mrs. Harri-
White House and only the most in
formal entertaining was done. The
season was quiet one, with little
gayety-no receptions and no state
functions. The atmosphere was much
the same as that Of last winter.
Before the period of fathers secre.
taryship he was minister to Russia ana
later to Spain. l accompanied him both
