MORE MILK CONDEMNED
AT TERMINAL STATION
DR.. Barrett Urges Vaccination
as Only Safeguard Against
Smallpox.

DIR. Sidney Gilmore, OF the city
health department, condemned eight
cen gallons of sweet milk Wednesday
when IL arrived on the Cow" train
DIR. Gilmore said that it showed a
large percentage OF water and that
some of the cans were daubbed with
soap to stop leaks. Some Of The milk
came from Sanford and some from
Charleston.
DIR. Elmore has been meeting the
train for the past two weeks now
and Wednesday was the first time in
several days that he has found SOAP
on the cans.
DIR. Stanton II. Barrett city health
director, said Wednesday morning
that the butter coming into Chatta-
nooga is being watched with as much
care as the milk. 1t is being analysed
to determine the percentage OF butter
fat, adulteration and other ifnpuri-
ties at the city laboratory.
Vaccination Urged.
The health director is still urging
the factory employers to canvass
their employees and have vaccinated
at once all of them who have not
been. He declared that unless the
people take this warning to heart,
especially the employers, the health
department cannot keep smallpox
from spreading. DIR. Barrett pointed
out that this is the only safe pre-
ventive against smallpox.
1t is often the case, according TO
DR.. Barrett, that the disease is well
developed before the inspectors are
notified and sometimes the mild
cases escape the inspectors entirely.
Ordinance Amended.
The following amendments were
AIDED dto the milk ordinance by the
board OF commissioners in session
Tuesday
BE it further ordained That all milk
showing a perceptible sediment in the
receptacle in which the same is con-
tanned, or milk which is found to be
insanitary, not of standard qualsIy or
below standard as defined In this ordl-
nance, shall by the health officer or
his assistants or INSPECTORS be de-
natured or destroyed, provided. that in
the event said milk can be colored or
otherwise marked so as to prevent its
sale to the public, by not destroying
its use as food for hogs or other amt
mails, 1t shall be the duty Of said health
officer or his assistants to so denature
or color such milk and allow the owner
thereof to use the same for such pur-
pose"

Entries in Democratic PrI-
mary Finishing Race in Fine
8 Form and FettIe.
PRIMARY FRIDAY, MAR. rs
Candidates for Sheriff Making
Strong Play for the La
Dor Vote.
For Trustee:
Phil Whitaker.
Tom Schneider.
For Sheriff:
Nick p. Bush.
BILLY" Smith.
S. M. ludlow.
For Tax Assessor:
Randolph Howell.

Despite the democratic primary for
the offices of trustee, sheriff and tax
assessor is Friday, March rs, just
two days off, there seems to be but
little local interest in either Of the
races except among the candidates
and their most intimate followers.
All entries are claiming they will be
the victors and the friends of each
are confident. In the race for county
trustee there are two we'll known
young men, both thoroughly qualified
to fill the position, and either, If
elected, would do so with distinction.
Tom Schneider has for some years
been a deputy in the Office he now
seeks and is asking an Endorsement
of his faithful record as clerk under
Trustee w. E. Dyer and the present
trustee, Joe w. Cliff. He is asking
the Office for the reason that his
predecessors. both Mr.. Dyer and Mr..
Gift were deputies in the office and
were honored by the people by cleo
ton as trustee for faithful services
rendered. Mr.. Schneider is said to
be unusually strong with the country
people, especially north Of the river.
Maj. Whitaker is a veteran of the
late war and won distinction on the
battlefield, and he is asking election
to the office of trustee both on his
record as a private citizen and a SOL
der. He is the soldier candidate,
and it is stated will poll large SOL
der vote. He is the son of Gen.

LOCAL DRY CLEANERS

Seven of the leading Chattanooga dry
cleaning establishments have formed an
organization for the future welfare of
their business. A name has not yet
been decided upon.
On March I, all prices for dry clean
ing advanced about 25 per cent. Mem
berS of the association claim that 1t
was not perfected to increase prices,
although 1t was formed just prior to
the advance.
w. D. Chamberlain. of Mertin's Dry
Cleaning company, was elected presi-
dent of the association, and II. D. Wal
lin, of the Model Dry Cleaning estab-
lishment, secretary and treasurer. The
seven business concerns represented in
the membership of the newly organized
association are Mertin's French Dry

DIR. DAY LECTURES HERE
FRIDAY BEHALF IRELAND

DIR. Johnathan C. Day pastor OF the
American International Presbyterian
church, OF New York City, and formerly
pastor OF the Presbyterian church at
Orwin, Tenn. will lecture at tho
courthouse Friday night at o'clock
on the Irish question ms viewed by n
Presbyterian minister. DR.. Day has de-
livered his lecture in many eastern and
northern cities and has met with won
derful success.
Nell ]. Crowley president OF the local
branch of the Friends OF Irish Freedom,
under whose auspices DIR. Day will lee
ture said today:
''Dr Day has been sent here to refute
the idea that the question Of Irish free
dom is a religious one with tho ex-
ception of Daniel O'Connell. there has
never been a Catholic leader fighting
for lrelands freedom until John Red %
mond took that place. Woftone, Robert
Emmmett Mitchell, parnell and others
have been non-Cathollc and most OF
them, If not all, were natives of the
province Of Ulster"
THE idea that this is a religious
question is erroneous and we are GO
ing 10 try to disabuse the minds OF our
neighbors of the opinion The fact is
Ireland has been fighting for seven
hundred years for its freedom and win
continue that fight until either that
freedom has been gained or the Irish
nation eXterminated."
1t had previously been announced that
Or. Day would speak here Wednesday
night. This was an error.

N. N. Whitaker, for twenty-on years
assistant and attorney general OF
Hamilton county. Before entering the
army he was teacher. at Baylor's
school Since his return he has en-
tered on the practice Of law, but has
had charge OF several public move
ments, notably the last victory loan
drive.
The sheriffs race is a three cor
nered affair between former Sheriff
Nick p. Bush, S. M. ludlow and
Billy" Smith. The most remarkable
incident of this race is the booming
during the past several weeks of the
candidacy OF S.. NJ. ludlow, and there
are many who say that while Bush
and Smith are fighting it out ludlow
may slip in and gain the spoils. 1t
is known that Mr.. ludlow has the
backing of many business men OF
the city and this, together with a
part of the labor and other vote, is
expected by his friends to put him
over. The fight between Bush and
Smith depends on who gets the
largest labor vote. Bush's friends are
claiming he will get 20 per cent. OF
the labor vote. which will make him
an easy winner. while the friends of
Smith claim that their candidate will
get a majority of the labor vote.
Anyhow, the race is expected to be
a close one.
Randolph Howell, the present tax
assessor, has no opposition for the
democratic nomination.
