NEED HELP ON MILK
LAW? EXPERTS
ADVICE AVAILABLE.

4 A study of the milk ordinances
(, of many cities, large and small,
1 shows a great diversity Of Opin-
I ion among lawmakers and their
l advisers as to what constitutes
a proper milk ordinance. A
great lack of uniformity among
, laws, some of which are entire
ly out of date, has been noted.
! Many of them seem to be tran
! scripts of ordinances in force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreaSon-
able and cannot be enforced.
Bulletin 5S5 of the department
of agriculture suggests a form
of ordinance which, it is be-
) lieved, will prove to be a salts
factory framework upon which
the average town or city can
build a finished, practicable law
that, properly enforced, will Inn
prove the average milk supply
and work toward a desired uni
formity of food laws.

You would give your life for

Are you saving now Of your

Have you servants who can't

your chore to see that they do.
Follow directions.
Follow directions. Today the
direction is to save two slices of

Follow directions. If Germany
wins you will be obeying orders
given by some one you will not

Milk laws should meet local cOndi-

to attempt to draft a milk ordinance,

local dairy conditions as well as the
purposes of such an ordinance. One
of the most important considerations
must be the reasonableness of the

is not reasonable, and a law so strin-
gent that it cannot readily be en-
forced will defeat its own ends.
