    Noting that adulterating milk with water is now called 'bobbing the milk', asks why the 'Bobby' (policeman) cannot do something against 'Bobbing'? Suggests that 'We might give him a Lactometer, and bid him use it during his early lounge. If it revealed adulateration, let him avenge the milk-can by a dig in the bread-basket. This would be a good specimen of provisional Government'.
