Safeguarding the
 Public Health 7.

l NH HE statement of Dr. J. D. Dowl- A ing, city and county health of- ficer, regarding our milk supply and the means of preventing the spread of disease, published in yesterdays Age Herald, should be read and pom dered by every dairyman, every hotel and restaurant proprietor and every householder hereabouts.
 The rules which Dr. Bowling set forth are practical and easy of ob- iseTNance, and strict attention to them is of vital concern to all consumers of milk.
 From public health point of view, as nr. Bowling tells us, the essential thing in regard to milk is that it shall be reasonably clean and free of disease producing germs; that it shall conform to certain standards as  to food value and be free from adul- iteration.
 Milk is well known to be source of ,"spread for certain diseases and mas great possibilities for causing epi- denies, especially of typhoid fever and it's group of diseases" Yet in actual experience, pr. Bowling points out, considerable outbreaks of the various communicable diseases defi- nitely attributable to milk or its prod ucts have been relatively few" though possibilities in this respect are suf- lficient to make the circumstances under which it is handled matters of much concern to health officials.
 The quality and purity of raw milk will depend largely on the amount of bacteria present. The so-called normal bacteria in moderate quantities is not harmful, "or, at least, only slightly

For days and weeks Louis, |venturing out only at night, dogged the footsteps of his quarry, who seems to have had presentiment that he was followed and never gave Louis the opportunity for which he waited until certain dark and rainy night when the spy was caught off his guard and was found by police a few minutes later still warm and bleeding with a bullet through his heart and another through his brain.

Acid Poured on Lot Said to
Have Killed Many Chickens

Samuel Cotlos Of Oak street hailed
Samuel Halpern of High and Fayette
streets before Recorder Pickersgill on
a rather peculiar charge this morning.
He accused him of killing forty-five
chickens, but as the evidence was not
conclusive, the recorder told Cotlos he
would have TO allow Halpern to go
free.
According TO Cotlos, who was rep
resented by Jacob b. Joselson, Hal
perm. who was represented by III. X.
Golenbock. had hired a vacant lot
from his mother on which he mad
stored a number of barrels containing
acid and when he was about to re-
move the barrels he had emptied them
en- the lot with tho result that the
contents had run into a shed where
Cotlo5 had many chickens.
The fowls, forty-fve in number had
died from the effect of the acid. ac-
cording to the story told by Cotlos
and his witness. but they could not
prove whether or not this was so and
as a result Recorder Pickersgill de-
cided that he could not hold Halpern.
The Ease IL Is understood will now
be made a civil instead of a criminal
one and takeh to the local district
court.
