MILK QUALITY HAS IMPROVED.
Thnt Is the Report Made by Pood
Inspector Wldmayer.
According to Food Inspector Wld
mnyer the city's food supply Is now
In excellent condition, and so far this
month the Inspector has been com
pelled to destroy very few edibles.
The milk which, during August, was a
veritable Banquo's Rhost, Is now se
cured by Scrnntonlanq, pure and fresh,
unndultcrntcd nnd undiluted. "
During the pnst two weeks the milk
supply has Improved to a wonderful
degree nnd whereas. In the last two
weeks of August he destroyed about
750 quarts, thus far this month he hns
not found it necessary to condemn
more than one or two quarts,
The food Inspector attributes this
change In the quality of the milk to
the fact that the price has gone up,
nnd farmers nro now enabled to give
the cows more and better feed, "The
quality of the milk," he said yester
day, "hns universally Improved, but
the quantity Is not suMclrnt. In fart
there Is not a large enough supply for
this city."
The condition of meat Is excellent,
and flsh, another source of much
trouble in warm weather, is also being
kept In a splendid state of preserva
tion. Little trouble Is cor expeil
enced with fiuits and vegetables of
the season, nnd the only thing In this
line which needs constant watching,
Is the cantaloupe. A great quantity of
these weia destroyed last month, und
a comparatively laige number so far
In September.

ltegatdlng the possibility of a strike
being called Thutsday, Mr. Dllcher
said:
"I will not say that a sttlke will be
called on Thutsday If a settlement Is
not reached before then. Hvery means
of coming to a settlement will be ex
hausted befote a call for a strike Is
Issued. National President John
Mitchell, who Is now In Chicago, has
It In his power to call a strike, and
he will do so when, In his ludument,
theie Is no loophole left by which a
settlement can be teached."
Mr. Dllcher believes that In case of
a strike the natlonol otllceis. who will
be chatged with Its conduct, will make
their luMdqiMitets In Scianton Mr.
Dllcher will lemalu here to advlbo

All the mines worked as usual yes

The lunners nnd drivers of Local
