that sagging tendency will continue

Bond McEnany G. Co.: Sentiment is

E. F. Hutton: Under the influence of

may work some lower, but the fact must
not be overlooked that the crops is the
latest in years and should any unfavor-
able developments occur shorts would
likely find difficulty in covering"

tomorrow is the same as yesterday, but
if it should by any chance offer terms

wives do all the agitating for educa-

tenn Of placing all revenue in the
hands of the city council to be appor-

Milk Showing Less Bacteria
Than One Million Per Cubic
Centimeter Healthy.
LAY DEDUCTION WRONG
Health Department Refuses Lii
Cense to One Dealer With No
Facilities and Issues Sugges=
tiOns to Others.

Because his milk showed very bad
and because he did not have proper
facilities for conducting a dairying
business, a citizen of Brunswick was
refused license by Health Commits
sioner Abercrombie yesterday. He
told Dr.. Abercrombie that he was
willing to comply with the strictest
requirements of hygiene and health,
and would later apply for a license
again when he had arranged to do
business in accordance with health
laws of the community
Objection has been taken to re-
port of the scity's bacteriology test
of milk as reported in The News of
May 8, by number of dairymen of
Glynn qoagfy, who refute the charge
that their milk is bad and say health
records will show that it is superior
] to many cities of the Southeast in ev-
cry respect Their contentious are
now supported by DR.. Abercrombie,
who also emphasizes that the milk
being supplied is exceptionally good.
He said:
milk situation, | will say that it is
not serious-in fact, the samples ]
have examined bacteriologically are
exceedingly low when you consider
that New York sets standard OF
100000 per cubic centimeter, and
Boston 100000
''As for infant mortality. colored
and white, together figured, Bruins
wick is extremely low, showing 10 out
OF every 1000, and our death rate
for last year, which was y out OF ev-
cry 900, was the lowest for any city,
considering size, in the country. This
is evidence that the milk supply is not
only all right, but very good
According to figures from the ar
chives of the health department, GER
titled milk is milk showing less than
10000 bacteria in each Cubic cent?
meter, while inspected milk shows
less than 100000, and market milk
shows less than 100000. Compared
to these figures, Brunswick's milk is
of the best since the highest bacte-
ria count was 10000, and is being
considered good inspected milk, while
10000 and $1,000 showings of F, l..
Smith and Gratz Dent were almost
within the certified classification.
The health department has issued
a special communication TO dairies
with suggestions for the better caring
of milk, which states:
Milking: Unless considerable care
is taken a. large number of germs
may get into the milk during the milk
ing process.
The cows should be grcomed daily
and before each milking the udders
washed thoroughly and then dried
with a clean cloth The milker should
be provided with clean clothing.
Immediately before milking, the at
tendant should wash his hands thor
oughly and milk with dry hands. The
practice of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy habit and is condemn
ed
The first three or four streams
from each teat, known as the fore
milk" should be drawn into asepa-
ra te vessel and discarded. This milk
contains the highest number OF germs.
No typesef milk stool should be
used whies annot be easily clean
ed. Germs may get into the milk
