Weak Milk ON Sabbath

English milk users find that the milk
they get on Sunday is not as rich as
the milk delivered on other days.
An investigation was conducted by
health authorities and it was found
that adulteration occurs more ire
Quently on Sunday than on any other
day.
The investigators were led to be
Iieve that the sale Of milk must be
greater on this day than on any Other
day of the week and dairymen are
tempted to increase the supply By
adding water.
The moral to this may be: DOM
drink milk on Sunday or adulterats
