Dr, Atkin- #on's idea {s that as much should be done for the city's milk supply by controlling and keeping clean the dairies from which it is derived. The Health Department's ac- ) tive measures against milk adulteration in the past have ‘accomplished much good; they have effected the arrest and prosecution of many dealers and the destruction of bundreds of thousands of gallons of irapure milk. a arrest of a dealer accomplishes for the purity of the gbneral milk supply hardly more than the cleaning of a hydrant effects for pure water, It is at best only a local remedy for an evil which, by the increase of milk adulteration in spite of the department's prevently forts, is shown to have attained very serious proport!oi Dr. Atkinson's plan provides for the refusal of licenses * to dealers unwilling to agree to have their dairies regu- larly inspected by the city. It will recelve the formal consideration of the Board of Heulth to-morrow, It |s Proposed as the only feasible method of controlling the output of dairies not under the State's jurisdiction, and has much to commend it as a comprehensive remedy, Given a milk supply which reaches the city distributing depots uncontaminated and untampered with, the efforta of the department to insure its reception by the small consumer in a like state of purity will be made more et- fective. (Many of the larger dealers have voluntarily under- taken the precautions which the board will seek to en- : force On the part of less consclentiovs dealers, Their | whitewashed dairy buildings are conapicuous'as a not * unattractive feature of country landscapes, What they have done for their business reputation should be re- quired of all dairymen in the Interest of the public Dealth, Confidence and Market Valu eres nothing either © good or bud but thinking makes it so."

New York theatrical managers are prone to regard the “etage as a necessary evil without which it would be Im- possible to sustain the box-office. They have material reasons for holding this view. Ideatists, on the viher hand, centre about the stage some of the most beautiful theories of art and the true life of which it is possible for man to conceive. The managers take precedonce, Theirs are the actual performances and the receipts, ‘while the idealists have the dreams and the lovely tatk. Sometimes between the camps of the extremists for cash or for culture will appear a littie group of people clinging to the old idea that the stage van be made edu- cational while still entertaining. The practical work of such a group is now attracting attention in New York. It happens that the Progressive Stage Society Is a ody with a mission; that In its plays it spreads such doctrines of Socialism as many people question fact does not affect the argument that the rame force~ that of stage representation—which teaches one thing May and must teach another.
