How Milk May BE Infected.

An Orange county physician makes
ON another page of this issue Il valua-
ble, albeit startling, contribution to a
discussion already opened in these col
umns. We have directed attention to
outbreaks of typhoid aud scarlet fever

Port Jervis az furnishing conclusive
evidence that the germs of disease are
families to the households or consum-
erS 10y means of milk. In our judg-
ment this is one of the most important
subjects with which sanitary authori
ties have to deal That milk is dis
ease carrier and the means 10y which
contagious diseases are communicated
has been practically demonstrated.
Milk that is infected with the germs
will breed disease and death. That is
a conclusion which cannot be seriously
questioned. lt becomes, therefore, "A
matter of vital Importance to the com
munity to ascertain how milk is in
fected with the germs of disease in
dairy farms from which cities draw
their daily supplies. The physician
who sends to the Tribune a single
memorandum from his country practice
certainly explains the origin OF typhoid
( fever in one dairy mans family, and
infcrentiaily suggests reasonable
! theory to account for the infection of
milk.

Addressing WOmcm's Meetings

a suggestion to some of our ministerial
friends. who, when they speak to an
assembly of women, seem to have an
idea that in order to encourage them,
they must be quite patronizlng, and
perhaps use Il good deal of tiattery :;
and they tell them how sweet and re-
fined they are and how much they can
help the cause in their quiet gentle
way: and although they are women,
yet they are really quite useful. Then
stale old subject of women preaching

tircsome and Improbable. We have
listened to remarks of this kind for Il

makes no difference with him whether

deavoring to send His gospel to the
heather.
What we want at our meetings are
stirling missionary addresses, telling
of the good work in India, China and
Japan, in Africa and the islands of the
sea. We want more of the missionary
spirit and less of self, either mans self
or woman's self We want infOrma-

need no silly praise. We are trying
