The state department of health today called the attention of the public and all interested officials to a revised regulation concern. ing drinking cups and drinking fountains, promulgated by the public health council and now ef- fective. The revised regulation now definitely provides that in the cases of drinking water facili- ties made available in schools, hotels, factories, stores, theaters and other places to which the public has access, not only must individual cups or drinking foun- tains be provided, but such drink ing fountains must be sanitary and in keeping with specifications laid down in the revision.
 Rearson for the change is that in this period of transition from the old drinking cup to fountains, the latter in many cases have not been of sanitary type. Vertical jets where the water from the mouths of users falls back on the nozzle have been common and many drinking fountains have been constructed so that the mouths and noses of persons using the fountain actually come in contact with the nozzle. Modern, approved, sanitary drinking foun- tains are so constructed that slanting jets and guards prevent contamination of the water by users of the fountain. Another failing of the fountains in the past has been lack of drainage facilities to prevent fouling.
 The revised regulation reads as follows:
 Regulation 116. Sanitary drink ing fountains shall be installed or individual drinking cups stored in such @ manner as to be pro- tected from contamination shall be provided, where drinking wa ter Is made generally available

 REPORTS CHANGE
Ten-Days Notic e to Be Given Prior to Any
 Change in Policy

change in the policy of the state milk administration affordlng the trade at least 10 days notice o1 new orders has been announced Dy s. Mclean Buckingham, or water town. state milk administrator.
 MT. Buckingham issued the 1ol- lowing statement:
 "Our experience in getting out the December resale price orders llluS- trates convincingly the necessity for a change in the time for deciding uuon orders to be issued by this administration.
 "In order that every dealer will be given ample time to make any necessary changes it will hereafter be the policy of the administration that at least 10 days must elapse between the final conference or hearing on a proposed order and Its effective date. This means, of course, that any discussion bearing on prices must be concluded on or before the 20th of the month pre- ceding the effective date of any or der. We are sure that 1t is very rarely that conditions will change so materially within 10 days as to make 8 revision necessary and therefore feel that we must insist that price conferences be held ear- Her than has been the custom in the past.
 "Our experience this month must demonstrate to the trade the fu- tility of trying to make all of the necessary adjustments occaSioned by a change in order, within 48 hours of the time that the changes have been recommended. It will be our policy to give dealers at least 10 days after receipt of an order to make the necessary revisions in their procedure. While we do not guarantee that this will always be possible, only under the greatest emergency do we expect it to be necessary to vary this policy"
