Two Of the most convincing tributes
ever given to a medicine were offered

two Maine nurses voluntarily came
forward and from their personal ex-
rarience told of the benefits that have

The first Of the Maine nurses was

is more remarkable than that told by
Nurse Richardson.

Fierbisk. "A person in my profession
shoald have known what to do, but

explained.

to shovel out the roads. He said the
men had rather work for the navy
yard. He said he ran a small farm and
it was impossible to get man to work
on it because the navy yard paid much
larger money and the men had better
jobs and that he was selling milk for
nine cents quart but didn't know
whether he was making or losing on 1t.
Rep. Ellis Of York spoke briefly say
ing his town had appropriated $25OO a
year to take care of the gypsy moth
pest He said it was a big expense to
bear and that they ought not to be
made to bear any more such expense.
E. L. Bradford of Auburn, manager
Of the Turner Center Creamery, spoke
in favor of an amendment to bill re-
lating to the sale Of milk and gave the
committee much valuable information
relative to standardization tests and
the uniformity Of a law to which a
schedule Of prices might be made. Mr..
Bradford presented many letters from
Oranges approving the amendment and
briefly sketched the business of his cor
poration, the largest of it's kind in
Maine and one Of the largest in the
country. He said there was less butter
produced in Maine than in previous
years. the producers were now produc-
ing milk and cream. Mr. Bradford said
he had devoted 25 years Of study to
the dairying business and believed he
had thorough knowledge Of the sub
iect. He first went into a discussion of
the ways milk use to be measured,
then took up the Babcock test and the
standardization test.
He said seemed too bad that dealers
could not be allowed to make their milk
standard by mixing and showed that some
grades of cows did not give as high a
test as others, while there were some
nerds that gave too high a test For the
former it was necessary to raise the milk
to standard and the latter to lower it,
and under the law as amended this might
be done, which was only fair and equit-
able and better milk would be the result
He gave lengthy argument as to why
the old Anticipated methods were no
longer of use and said modern progress
demanded that everything possible be
