HOW TO KEEP MILK. ; (Board tf Health Bulletin ) One of the best means of keeping milk is to make sure that it - is . clesn when received. Never buy miik from a wagon or a grocery in bulk. Pouring I it around from one vessel to ' another exposes it to air and duit.acd increases the possibilities of - Its collecting dirt and germs. Buy it'only; bv sealed bot tles. Don't permit the exposure of the bottles to the eun after delivery v As sooo as delivered place the bottle n a refrigerator or elsewhere where it will remiin cool. ! ' Milk shou'd at all times be kept below. 6Q degrees F. In he country where Ice snd refrigerators are out of the question, milk i my ; us ually be k pt from 55. to 60 degrees by placing it in running spring water. An other means of reducing the tempera ture of milk is to wrap the bottle with a piece of clean,' porous cloth, sud then plsce in a shallow pan or tray, contain ing about half an inch of water. The cloth acts as a wick and evaporate, thereby cooling the bottle to some ex tent. .Milk can be kept successfully on ly by being kept cool and clean, .

Both reports were referred to the Water and Light Committee. The Board passed a notion taking off the standing committee certain members who bad been added at a meeting htld some months aitov This leaves the committees as they were when origiually appointed by Mayor McCarthy when the present teim be gan. . Mr. Wm, Dunn. Jr., appeared before the board in behalf of the Pocomoke Guano company, to protest against a tax levied against them on about $100, 000 worth of property.

He also found one or two of the meat markets in bad condition snd gave the proprie tors orders to kerp things in a more sanitary condition in the future. The doctor visited the fish markets and found things in fairly good shape, with one exception. All of the dairy owneis meat market proprietors and fish Stall keepers have been given orders to bave their places in perfect sanitary condi tion by Aug. 8. Upon motion of Alderman W. . K.
