The express companies will contin

make money. But they will never

The milk inspector for the borough
•f Torrlngton has sent out the fol
lowing warning against the using of
milk botttles by the householders,
which may well apply to other com
munities. “In the interest of public
health and decency I would warn
against the use of milk bottles for
any other purpose than that for
which they are made, viz—to con
tain milk. Instances frequently come
to my notice where milk bottles have
been used as containers for turpen
tine, kerosene and other oils and
then returned to the milkman to be
refilled with milk. Can there be
any wonder that in the process of
washing one or two thousand bottles
that occasionally one which has con
tained some substance other than
milk should escape the notice of the
man at the cleaning vat. The re
sult of this accident should be read
ily understood. If you are obliged
to use a milk bottle for some pur
pose other than that for which it
was intended, pay for it and destroy
It or at least ,do not return it to
the milkman."
