 tion, the Provincial Boards of Health of North America, and the American 

 Veterinary Association have indorsed the Second Report of the Com- 

 mission on Milk Standards of the New York Milk Committee. The re-

 in the regulation of milk supplies than have the members of the associa- 

 tions that have approved it. Milk ordinances may be constructed in
