SAFETY FIRST! A lot of the milk distributed in Seattle is perfectly safe. A lot is not. If you want to be sure the milk YOU use is pure, call up the milk inspectiondepartment, Main 8500, and get the information concerning the dairy you buy from. Dr. Mcßride's proposed ordinance to shut out of Seattle all milk except such as hasbeen pasteurize 'or comes from dairies where a tuberculin test of the cows has been made, will help a good deal. But that won't be in effect for over a month. Publicsentiment is stronger than law. You can get the dairymen to comply with all necessary tests by letting them know that you are demanding the highest possible standard.
