Stingily. state bacteriologist, Mayor Scott today served official notice on the Mont Komery, Davis and Downs dairies that they cannot sell any more milk in Jackson until they come up to&the standard required. These dairies showed more than 500,000 bacteria Speaking of the matter Mayor Scott said:
 We are going to have clean milk for the children of Jackson. or have none at all. Selling dirty milk Is even a greater crime than selling monshine and wood alcohol whisky, or peddIing morphine. for its victimes are helpless little children. The dairymen might as well understand that we are n earnest about this matter. and that the simple rules and regulations relative to sanitation in milk will be rigidly enforced"
