NEW MILK ORDINANCE
Health Board to Ask for Ordinance
 Forcing ReStauratcurS to Serve Milk in Individual Bottles

Milk, veal and unsanitary ten ements were the chief topics of busi- ness taken up at the monthly meet ing of the board of health yesterday afternoon. Chairman G. H. Bodley presided and Frank Riley, the new commissioner, was also present, this being his first meeting.
 Following several interesting re- ports concerning the unsanitary man. ner in which milk is handled at sev- cral restaurants, hotels lunch rooms and drug stores it was recommended that an ordinance he drafted which will make it imperative that milk, when sold to customers over the counter. be served in individual bot ties. This proposed ordinance would not affect sales of milk in wholesale or for cooking purposes. Another ordi- nance change was recommended in re- gard to the slaughter house. It has to do With the price of slaughtering and inspecting veal. Farmers complain because veal that they slaughter at their farms must first be inspected by the city inspector and a fee of s1.o5 is provided. If it is slaughtered at the municipal abbatoir the fee is only p cents. The proposed change would make the inspection fee 25 cents \
 Superintendent T. E. Reeks ex- plained in detail certain unsanitary conditions in connection with the house on Winthrop street owned by J. J. Higgins. The board voted to sustain any action toward compelling the owner to have the house connect ed with the storm water sewer. It has been reported that already Mr. Higgins has taken steps to alleviate conditions and has ordered tenants to move.

When Is a Bargain

'Yes,' said my next door neighbor when we expressed our admiration of a distinctive looking plaid skirt she was wearing. that skirt is one of the best bargains I ever bought"

 But you said it was a bargain.'
 \ Bargain Not Mark Down.
 Ut was. my dear. I never had anything that so many people ad- mired and thought becoming. It's dressy but not too dressy. And while it has a good style of it's own it's not a style that will go out of style. I've worn it all winter and I plan to wear it off and on this summer and all next winter. It's a splendid mate rial and 1 bought it at a reaSonab ble price. If that's not a bargain, what is? l didn't say markdown, you knoW.'
 ''Yes, l suppose so,'' said the lady from across the way. but you have gotten such wonderful things marked down that it seems strange for you to pay full price for anything

A committee from the Quartet club has informed the mayors office that hereafter their organization will not sub-let their park, in the vicinity of Wooster street, to any other organiza tions for picnics or outings. It is understood that the Scheutzen Nerein is contemplating similar action. This decision has come about as the result of loud protest from Wooster street residents who complain that rowdy tactics and bisterus celebrations cause trouble at these parks. Investigation has disclosed that the trouble mak- CTS are not the park owners, but the outsiders to whom the parks have been rented.
 Chief Rawlings isl also determined 10 uuell any further disturbances at this park and only yesterday refused to issue a permit for a society to hold an outing and picnic there.

The big Vitagraph Blue-ribbon fea- ture. "The Courage of Silence" in which Alice Joyce and Harry Mercy play the stellar roles, has been en- gagged as the principal attra ction for Fox's theater for tonight and tomor- row. It is somewhat of departure from the l~Sular line of screen dram as. and deals with vital question that is not frequently presented in it's proper light. Miss Joyce and MT. Mercy, the stars of the piece are too we'll known by their past successes to require any advance notice. but it should be said that in "The Courage of Silencc' their work surpasses any of their previous performances in merit, with the result that the picture has scored a tremendous success Wherever it has been exhibited

What a Bargain Really Is.

My next door neighbor laughed. That's the way l used to feel my self" she said, Gin fact I went quite crazy over hunting for markdowns But gradually I came to my senses and realized that bargain isn't just a thing marked down. It's exactly what you want and need bought at reasonable price. Of course often go to bargain sales and get lots of wonderful values that way, but don't forget that when I pick up what l want at a reasonable price it's a bargain even if it isn't a mark down.
 The Better Meaning.
 That's pretty good philosophy, don't you think?
 l looked up bargain in the dic- tlonary when I got home just for the interest of the thing. It has two meanings, an advantageous pur- chase or 'anytllng bought cheap"
 Wise is the woman who shops by the first rather than the second meaning.
