It is not always the dairyman of the alleged filthy premises, or the adullerating vendor, who is the cause of the great infant mortality resulting from impure milk. The public itself is not infrequently the cause. Wandering;' home during the wee sma' hours t'other morning, whilst the milkmen were just clatterine; round the streets, "Critic" observed the usual family jug on each ■ window-sill or doorstep. It was blowing 4 a gale, and the dust from the gutters, not to ir.entinn horse refuse and other micro', c matter, was blowing merrily into each family receptacle. The bloke who delivers the cow extract has no time, to bother about wiping jugs. In goes the milk and next week out rocs the infant— in a collin. Moral : Always cover the top of your milk-jus: before placing it out overnight.
