Criticism if Bottles Collected on Routes

while their customers can cooperate with

sanitation there is special reason for them
to do 50 at this time when every effort is
being expended to prevent the introduc-
ton OF infantile paralysis in this locality.
Many people criticize if the mllkmen fill
bottles IN their carts or on the streets OF
at doors where the bottles have stood out
over night, because OF the uncertainty as
to whether the bottles have been scaded
and on account Of the liability that they
may contain dust or disease germs
There are about dozen milk dealers in
town, some selling milk at SIX cents a
quart, others at seven cents and others
at eight cents. They state that at six
cents they can make no money and that
there is but little profit in milk at seven
cents, because the expense of feed and the
! increased sanitary requirements of the

milk much more costly than it was for
