THE OLD COACH HORSE.
Veterans of the Road May Still Be
Useful.
1 Strnwbr.dee. in The Spur.

Frederick II Strawbridge. in the Spur.
With the ever-increasing lack Of
roads suitable TO coaching, and also
of the once plentiful stabling along
the beautiful routes of America. II
must be query to those fond of the
grand Old sport Of road coaching as
to what shall be done with their hon
est friends which they do not wish to
part with, but which must still con-
tinue in some measure. to participate
in the great utilitarian process of the
world.
For myself have found there are
many heavy leather candidates
which are quite handy for park or
road hacks. and which will give one
a good ride If used regularly, and,
even more. that a good coach horse.

handled. will become a general pur-

Great care must be exercised in
starting active plea ASSURE horses at this
kind of work: but. once they find the
noise and rattle from these fmple-
ments are harmless they are perfect
ly quiet and tractable. do their work
cheerfully and seem to enjoy such an
occasional change of routine.
II might be suggested that there
would be some detriment to the spirit
and manners Of ride or drive horse
in such drudgery. On the contrary.
there are several positive advantages.
An animal once accustomed to the
rattle of a lawn moker or the harsh
rumble of roller is much safer on
the road and is undisturbed by un-
usual or accidental noises in the rear.
In the second place. there Is nothing
in the world better to cool out the
legs and feet of the modern harness
animal. perhaps standing all day on
cement floors or pounding over as

D. c. TO FIGHT HARD.
AGAINST POOR MILK.
Forty Eating Place Proprie-
tors to Get Hearings Before
Health Officer.

About forty lunchroom and restau-
rant proprietors charged with selling
milk containing less than BIZ per
cent OF butter fat Will be given hear
ings next week before District Health
Officer William c. Fowler. A few will
be let off with warning. but DR..
Fowler said today that il his inten-
ton TO prosecute the others.
Since DR.. Fowler launched a cam
paign several weeks ago to force the
eating establishments to dispense
milk in bottles, health department
inspectors have taken 1873 samples.
Analysis has shown that in about two
score of the esta blishmentS milk
short of the standard butter fat con-
tent is served, due to the fact that
1t is drawn from containers in which
the cream rises to the top. AS a
result the consumer whose milk is
drawn from the bottom of the con-
tainer is given milk containing little
or no cream.
Heretofore proprietors OF the eating
houses who served milk weak in but
terfat content have been given a
warning
Discovery of unsatisfactory milk
In the public eating places in the past
has been followed by the proprietor
passing the blame to the dairy and
the dairy passing Il back again to the
proprietor. To overcome this situa-
ton Dr. Fowler has urged that the
diaries supply milk to the lunchroonls
and cafes only in sealed bottles. and
that the milk be served in the bottles
in which they are delivered to the
lunChroaa EMS.

Fowler has given serious thought to
the strange disease and has reached
the opinion that it probably is COM

officer gives as a basis for his con-
CluSiUn that the disease Is more preVa-
