OUT THE WORLD.


The new crisis In milk is neither
strictly new nor intrinsically evil. IL
, IL worldwide: but in France and Eng
land. at least, 1t exists rather to satisfy
a demand for good milk than to pro-
mote the sale of bad. 1t is therefore
an event of high Importance, the
causes of which lie deep in some OK
the best and some of the most COM

crude fact that the milk the dealer
sells is cows milk. not goats nor
asses milk. the public has no scientific
nor definite notion at all h milk Is
nor OF its qualities nor of us regal
standards. Generally. 1t may he as

this sober view. \: present there Is
no complete answer. either pubic OF
