Taylaor -i pr?Ai- Towers, A. -4 . the* milk supply l yrs? -that 1b of sital interest all of on. To tbe babies the difference between good milk and bad |mllk ? the diffefence between ilfe and death, to a great many or ns milk and cream mean either nourishment or disease according as it is pure or Impure. Typhoid epidemics have been frequently traced to an Impure milk supply and Tuberculous cows Bpread a dreaded plague to those who consume the milk. "The law" has given" the^w eight of " Its authority to ~ the regulation of milk by municipal ordinances and atate legislative enactment*. tIhmm> , Igws hare for their purpose not only i the safe-guarding of the milk supply against disease but also the separation -of all relations between the pro- 1 duct of the com? and the fur-fumed milkman's pump. Watered milk has frequently drawn down the lightnings of the law as well as furnished Inspiration for the professional jokesmith. It was the subject of the following diatribe, of which a St. Louis Judge recently relieved himself in the case- of the city against a purveyor of diluted milk. "Milk." said the wearer of the ftrnilne, "au object of profouud oud rigiianr concern to the modern inwmaker, has been always pari and parcel of the daily life, the adages and folklore of mankind. For example: We are told not to cry over isplh milk?that; is not to fret over real logs that can't be helped. The Etuyisan lias an adage. That which la taken in with the milk only goes out with* the bouI?that is. early Impressions last till death. Tlfe Swede has one denoting hospitality, vis.. When there is milk in the can for one, there is milk in the can tor two. In the phrase, 'The inilk of human kindnossi' U eaprooaod the very heart inu office of thai khiuim mit-nopiM virtue. Tho bard of bards does not hesitate to connect milk and philosophy. deeming that neither loses dignity by the juxtaposition, he speaks of 'Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.' All such amiable metaphors, saws, similes, associated ideas of water in milk. Contra, the milk held in mind Is good milk. 1 recall hut one Instance to the contrary (seemingly the inadvertence of a daring "and erratic genius)* via: 'Oh Mirth ahd Innocence! Oh, i milk and water! < Ye happy mixtures of more happy | days.' I Indeed, the universal, primal and j spontaneous mental conception we have of milk, in the first instance, is i that it 1b unwatered. Take one case 1 for example: Milk and honey are i emblemS of pastoral good luck, peace and plenty?a large and a goodly land. Witness the phrase. A land flowing with milk and honey, i Ex. ail. 8: Jer. xxxll. 22 ) But what aj derisive picture would rise to harass the imagination by use of the phrase. A land flowing with watered milk and honey? We think the ordinance proceeds on the noticn that however much the cow waters her own milk in her own humble and honest way | t letting nature take her'course!. Ihe'j milkman has no right to designedly I duplicate nature's gift of water by a furtive gift of his own from the barnyard, pump. It-proceeds on the underlying theory that it is a fraud, a trick and a veritable cheat?con- j itrary to the common law and hence! of that phase of it known colloquially ag the 'square deal'?to sell water, when milk, not water, is the commodity dealt in. If one 1s not to get g stone shu asks for bread, no nmro (under the spirit of the ordinance) is he to get water who asks for milk."** i The regulation of a matter of such genera1 and vital concern as milk is properly within the province of the state legislature. It ia for the legislative power representing tho people a? a whole to prescribe the measures that are to tafeguard the supply. But the legislature may, and very frequently does, delegate this power to its creature, the municipality; and so we find the individual communities supported by the courts in their enactment and enforcement of drastic ordinances regulating the production and distribution of milk. As these measures entail additional labor and expense on the part of those engaged in the milk business many 6t the laws have been bitterly oppoes d in the courts, bnt quite generally, they have been sustained. It ia new clearly understood that municipalities having the usual powers may license milk dealers and j prevent all unlicensed persons from! Mills* nllk within the municipality. A reasonable Menu* to* may hi enacted and the health oncer. Boy be 3 " AS ON I.AW J.
