Other Cities in the State have been Warranted Pure Milk Supplies and Bismarck Should Follow Suit. Among the arrivals at the state capital Monday evening on No. 5 was Dr. G. F. Reudiger,' director of the public health laboratory at Grand Porks. Dr. Reudiger came to Bis marck to look over the branch public health laboratory at this station and principally to see whether or not all the dairy herds of the city had been tested for tubercular cattle. While the seven principal dairies which supply milk to the capital city have all taken out a license, there has been no test for tuberculosis in the cattle as yet. This should be done as soon as possible, Dr. Ruediger be lieves, thus assuring a pure milk sup ply for Bismarck. Grand Forks has gotten rid of .tubercular cattle, Fargo and Minot having a clean milk supply. It is purely and simply a matter of protection for the people. Before the testing is started Mr. Reudiger be lieves that the city should stand back of it. All tubercular cattle which are found should be disposed of. This proposition to- clean up the dairies applies to all persons who sell milk, even if they sell it only to their neighbors. The milk licenses which are issued by the city milk inspector have been taken out by the seven principal dairy owners, but the small dairymen have not as yet taken out any. It is proposed to put the law into force and such person who sells any milk will be required to take out the necessary license. Dr. Raver, who.is director of the branch public health laboratory at this point states that there has already been an improvement of over 100 per cent ih the cleanliness of the dairies of the capital city, but even now there is room for some improvement, and Dr. Reudiger will assist him in start ing a plan which will assure for Bis marck—"The Chicago of the West," a pure milk supply.

WEALTH OF FLORAL BEAUTY ON EXHIBITION HAS NEVER BEEN SURPASSED. Four Large Dray Loads of Plants, both Flowering and Decorative, Brought to Down Town Store From Gresnhouses. The Hoskins Floral Company has on exhibition in its down town store in the Tribune block one of the most magnificent displays of Easter plants both flowering and decorative, that has ever been seen in. the Northwest, from the Twin Cities to the Pacific Ccast. The display is attracting un usual attention and it would" be worth the while of every resident of the state capital tc see it. especially if they are interested in procuring some handsome floral decorations for their hcrnrs on Easter and during Holy week. Since the lily is distinctly the East er flower almost the entire front of the store is devoted tc a great display of these plants whose snow white' petals are emblematic of the purity that should be characteristic of all Christians, and the gradual unfolding, of whose blossom is preaching a route sermon cf the "new life" which is emphasized especially at this anniver sary of the Resurrection. However, the Hoskins Floral Com pany has raised other flowers than the Easter lily which may be used effectively for decorative purposes. There are azaleas ranging in color from white to a glorious red. The spiraes diffuse their sweet perfume and near them are clustered a wealth of hydrangeas, roses, lilacs, rhodo dendrons, primroses, cyclamens, and other flowers. There are also cut flowers galore. Some of the hand somest offerings in trie cut flowers 1 are the tulips which are now in full bloom, and there are hundreds of 'carnations, roses and other blossoms. There were four large dray loads of the flowers taken to the down town store from the company's green bjous es. and as one looks over the display he cannot help but marvel that such handsome flowers and so many of' them can be grown in Bismarck. Capital city residents are proud of the Hoskins Floral Company, which has the largest and most up to date green houses and the best facilities for rais- 1 ing flowers of any floral company in the entire Northwest.
