This morning, despite the big headtines and eulogistic articles in the newspapers and feeling of quiet exaltations evi- denced in private, the public went about its business as usual.

Ward is another county whose campaign did not begin until Monday, a week late, and many be- lated re ports are being received at the state headquarters, indicating that the total for the state, now $135,000, will go to $150,000, or $25,000 over North Dakota’s apportionment. For example, one dealer in Chicago. whose records were investigated by the commission, sold 4,090 quarts of milk a day in September. On Octo- ber 1 the price of milk was raised and on October 3, his books showed he had sold but 2,500 quarts that day— a decrease of 40 per cent. While a number of large dealers | elsewhere were reporting similar re- sults, merchants noted an increased demand for su>stitute foods for ba- bies. These substitutes, in many in- stances, to say nothing of the disas- trous effect of a sudden change in feeding, are held responsible by manv experts in infant hygiene for the di- gestive disturbances listel as the cause of the increased deaths of ba- dies this fall. ~~ (Continued on Page Four) _ On Lecture Tour.
