IMPORTANCE OF PURE MILK

London, April S-Contrasting the
milk supply Of London with the clean
en- and more heaIthful milk compelled
by law in New York city, the National
Clean Milk society is appealing for
funds through the London newspapers
to carry on a campaign for legal milk
batterment here.
The appeal points out that while all
New York dairy herds must be free
from tubercular cattle. between eight
and nine per cent of the milk supplied
in London county contains Giving tu-
bercule" The society asserts that,
while grade A milk in New York must
not contain more than 10000 bacteria
per cubic centimetrc at any time be-
fore reaching the consumer, the aver
age London sample contains not less
than 100000 bacteria per cubic CEN
timetre." The society says American
milk is bottled before it is shipped,
and remarks that "the conduct of the
dairy has become a science which is
practically unknown in this country to
the trade, the public or any but an ex-
tremely small number of our public
health officials"

BOARD OF TRADE IMPORTANT

The Clearwater Board of Trade
should not be permitted to die. After
maintaining it through the war and
during period of comparative mac
tivity, it would be suicidal not to keep
it Up now that period Of development
is upon us.
At the last meeting of the present
board a committee was appointed to
see the citizens and ascertain whether
o. not there is sufficient interest in a
board of trade to warrant an effort
to keep the present organization alive.
This committee has been busy and re-
ports that there is a considerable in
tertst, and that general opinion favors
the continuation of the board with an
increased membership and money
enough to do something worth while.
A meeting will be held Friday night,
probably in the court house, at which
the affairs of the board of trade will
be discussed. There will be speakers
and a good program of music and
entertainment. 1t is the duty of ev-
cry progressive citizen of Clearwater

hotels, headed by the Biltmore. The
corporation alse purchased the Girls
void of New London, Connecticut,
which has been operated as a sum-
mer hotel under the same manage

The sum paid for the Belleyiew was
not mentioned, but it is believed to
have been between two and two and
