Show Milk Made No Sort of Hit With Slum Woman Hal C. Davis, the noted reformer, said in an address in Pittsburgh :. "Politics are so rotten, it's no wonder won-der autocracies have sprung up in Russia. Spain and Italy. An autocracy may spring up here. Our average politician understands statesmanship about as well as the slum woman understood un-derstood milk. "A model dairy, by way of an advertisement, adver-tisement, once supplied a sample quart of rich, pure milk to a slum woman, and next morning, when the wagon stopped again, the woman said: " 'Don't leave no more of yer milk here, mister. It's on the pig. I'm afeared of it.' " 'Afeared of our milk? Why so, madam?' said the delivery man. " T let the sample ye give me yesterday yes-terday stand for a couple of hours,' she replied, 'and it got a nasty, thick, yaller scum on the top of it, so I got afeared and had to throw it out.' " |
