a further evidence OF the milk situa-

The restaurant people are paying $50

most. a helpihs Of Post ToaSties with
cream costs the restaurant keeper not
more than six to eight ccatS. Some of
the restaurants are serving Post Toast

the charge 30 cents. That cuts down
tho amount OF cream consumed People

Not Case Of Persecution
Or. NarSchner cited TN" tact that The
prosecutions Such a. those Uh:fh will
be made in police court this morning are
not prosecutions. Accusations Of this
Kind have been heard frequently because
IN" restaurant owners caught In tho
m.Ik Investigations are natives OF
lircrce.
W arc not prosecuting anyone" the
health commissioned said. The Gre"H
born restaurant mon have a monopoly
on the eating houses OF Wh"elinE. But
whrn we tax our mix samples W" r:sit
them all. The reason that Stone &
Thomas. ~Bruhnhaus'. HottmdnnS. VIII
iiAusnn'S. the Y. ". {. A. cafeteria and
others ~Scap~ prosecution is because
they obey the milk ordinance. Our In
<ncctors visit them all and show no
favorz. This il evidenced by the fact
that IN this campaign No are prosecu-
ting one or the leading American firms
