ftually back at their homes, and they
will come back cleaner in their lives

They Are to Receive ga Cents Per Quart
Against the Old Price of ia
Cents at Boston.

Boston, Jan. 3-The verdict OF the
federal milk commission, which has beer
in session in Boston, was not given out
until after midnight this morning. They
have arranged that the producer shall
receive eight and one-half cents per
quart. +. o. b. Boston, against the old
price of seven and one half cents per
quart, and the consumer in Boston shall
pay l41a cents per quart delivered at
the house. an increase of one-half cent
over the present price. This new sched-
ule will go into effect Sunday, Jan. d,
and will hold for at least three months,
The commission further determines
that the producers may reasonably
charge four cents per 100 pounds OF milk
for each one-tenth of per cent OF but
ter fat above 3.5 per cent. with CORE
spending deduction for milk below SO
per cent.
Pending investigation by the com
mission, several matters have been tenn
porarily adjusted. A further report will
be issued later.
THE commission has reason to hope
from the evidence presented that at the
end of three months period reduction
TO the consumer can be made"
