that the owners had cleaned up the |
premises and apparently with proper |
personal cleanliness, the milk ought |

the laboratory the past month, in
which the analysis shows whether the |
man or woman MIXED with clean
hands or whether the cow was prop
erly cleaned before the milking op-
Grafton, has developed some surpris-
ing and startling facts.
Where the Dirt in Milk Comes From
In this connection it is stated by
the health authorities of the state,
that even though the barn may be
clean, if the filth of the stable is al
lowed to remain on the COW or if the
hands of the man or woman doing the
milking are not clean, some of this
dirt is bound to get into the milk. And
that, according to the laboratory tests
is shown in the tests made in the past
three weeks.
The third test showing fatal con-
taminatiOn is a pitiful confession.

clean bill of health in this respect.
They are Millsboro, Frankford and
Milton. All of the others have an
unfortunate record. The percentage
| of dealers whose milk shows this dis
gusting contamination are Laurel, %
per cent; Delmar, 55; Bridgeville, So;
Seaford, n; Greenwood, 25; George
town, 80; Lewes, &c; Rehoboth, II;
Milford, 81, and Harrington, IA.
Because this menace could be elm
mated from the milk by the hands Of
the mixer being clean ana the COW
also clean, makes it all the more de
plOrable, according to public health
standards.
Fortunately five towns and cities Of
the 13 tested, show good records in
the bacteria tests, when the entire
town or city, comprising all the deal
ers are tabulated. To De within health
standards the bacteria must not be
above 100000 and consequently wher
a percentage is taken the clean anC
unclean are added and divided by The
number of dealers to get the average
This final count shows that Laure
with 10000, Greenwood with $1,000
Millsboro with $1,000, Frankfort witt
21,OOO and Frankford with $4,000, al
come within health standards as fa
as bacteria goes. But other town

RATS EXTERMINATED
AT CENTER MARKET
Biological Survey Has Made One
Of Most Satisfactory Places of
Sort in Country.

As a result of control measures
quietly inaugurated by the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Center Market,
In this city has been made one of the
most satisfactory markets from the
standpoint of rat-free conditions in
the country.
When the department took over the
management OF this great city mar
ket, which covers an area equal to
two city blocks, the place was found
10 be badly infested by rats. There
was not oni yloss In food products
hut also danger to health through
contamination of foods. So serious
was the infestation that some who
had noticed conditions hesitated to
purchase their food supplies there.
To clear up the situation without
unduly disturbing the public, the
Biological Survey. cooperating with
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
began work very inconspicuously.
Barium carbonate was distributed
under carefully controlled conditions
and 500 rats were found killed at
one time. Traps were also used on a
large scale. Accumulated rubbish
was cleared away. infested hollow
walls and other structures were re-
placed by rat-proof construction. more
sanitary and rat-proof booths were
built OF concrete, and q large incen-
orator was installed to consume gar
bage and rubbish.
Special attention was given to rat
pFoofing food-storage places, includ-
Ing all cold storage. The interest
OF the dealers was enlisted in the eff
fort. and many neighboring commits
sion houses, at their request were
assisted and have adopted measures
recommended for the protection of
the food products which they handle.

S DAY PATRONAGE
PLEASES STORES

Last Saturday, March 1, was some
Dollar Day. Although the condition
of the roads undoubtedly kept many
farmers away, the streets were well
filled with people and the stores were
crowded. The merchants inter
viewed by The Herald representa-
tive express themselves as well
pleased with the business done. The
grocers were busy all day and late
into the evening, and in some cases
the demand for certain dollar spec
ials was SO great that they were all
sold out before the day was over.
These cooperative bargain days
that the merchants put on from time
to time enable people to purchase
quantities of supplies at less than
house prices, and the
money is kept in circulation in the
where it is produced.

Mi ,ela, like hundreds of other

Mountains surround it on every

them are covered with snow at the

BUCKSKIN SHIRT And
GUN CAUSE UNDOING

A few days ago a red headed
youth appeared in Peck Ren's second
hand store and traded a 45 Colts re-
volver and buckskin shirt for an
other gun and shirt. Emory Rem,
young son Of Peck, made the trade
and all went well until Bearskin,
noble red man of this reservation,
espied the shirt on Emory. Bear
skin hied himself to the office of
Judge Gordon where he told his tale
of woe, which was that the shirt was
his property and that a Colts re-
volver and buckskin shirt had been
stolen from his house near this city.
Sud-agent Holsclaw was notified and
in company with Chief of Police
Nichol went to Ren's store and re-
ceived every assistance from Mr..
Rem in unravelling the mystery
On Tuesday Indian agent HoIs-
claw obtained clue and as a result
went to Oswego and apprehended a
red-headed youth named Bill Peters
whom he brought back to Wolf
Point.
Peters was arraigned in Judge
Gordon's court on Tuesday and
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
obtaining property under false pre-
lenses, which charge had been
sworn to by Mr.. Rem. Peters was
fully identified by Emory Rem as
the red-headed youth who had trad
ed the revolver and shirt for an
other revolver and shirt which were
found in Peters possession.
Peters pleaded not guilty and was
placed under $500 bonds for hearing
IN Saturday next. Later he changed
lis plea to guilty and was sentenced
o 60 days in the county jail.
