DELIVER DAIRY GOODS CLEAN
Wholesome Products Are Best AdVer-
tisements and Any 9nfraction
Of Rules 10 Harmful.

OF all the mediums of good sound
advertising in the dairy industry there
is not one which can excel that of
quality"
When we observe the methods of
those who have really achieved in the
dairy business we will find in every
instance that success was made posi-
BILE through tie application of com
mon sense rules Of cleanliness and
sanitation.
Clean wholesome dairy products are
the best advertisements, and any in
fraction of these automatic first prin-
ciples will work to the dairyman's dis
advantage and render it difficult to re-
pair the damage wrought.
Dairymen are, as a rule, in the bust
ness to make a success of it, and there
is no single factor that will promote
business faster than the production OF
a clean wholesome product.

Labor Council Of Greater New York"
Practically Endorses the Prin-
ciples Of I. w. W.-lsm.

The United Labor Council Of Great
er New York, claiming to represent
$4,000 workers, has adopted a program
of industrial uniOnisrn and urges the
abolition of craft-union organizations.
Resolutions adopted say:
eve indorse and spread among our
members the economic doctrine Of the
class struggle. The workers should
give up the old organization into crafts
and unite by industries. The unions
should abandon the OutwOrn methods
of craft uniOnism and adopt the mod
ern tactics of no contracts with the en-
ployers, rank-and-file control of union
affairs, union officials to be paid no
more than they would earn in the in
dustry, to be limited to a short term
of Office, and to he forbidden to serve
as delegates to conventions or other
wise act except as executive servants,
to carry out the expressed will Of the
rank and file"
The councils constitution proposes
management of industrial unions
through shop-steward councils and
aims to Establish a closer means of
cooperation between the existing
unions which subscribe to these prin
ciples to merge unions of closely al
lied crafts into Industrial Organiza
lions, and finally to amalgamate all
the existing progressive labor organ
iZations into one body"

ing OF garbage? G. V. A
Answer-If you mean the gar
bage is dumped in hole in the
ground and covered over with a
wooden cover, that is scarcely dis
posal, since it makes an ideal
breeding place for flies. Flies con-
vey disease germs on the feet. The
only important point in the dispos-
al of kitchen garbage is protection
against access for flies. The method
you describe is not sanitary. A can
kept in an excavation, covered with
a fy-proof cover and emptied at
least once a week, is sanitary.
