Near the corner an elderly man, with
long hair and beard, had erected frail,
low platform which he had lit up with oil

Method of Steriiiking MIX.

qulrcs to be heated a few minutes at about
ga dogs. + a special steam sterilizer Is
necessary to attain such "A high tempera
ture. The same effects may be- obtained
usually by boiling the milk about thirty
minutes. Heating a few minutes between
los dogs. and nc deSs is sufficient to de
stroy temporarily the energy of "A large
number of mix microbes, including sew
eral disease germs, but does not kill many
of then. and is not, therefore, sufficient as
a preservative means. This is the temper

which is known as pasteuriZatiOu.
The meteorological World, authority for
the foregoing, says that it is not only to
destroy disease germs that sterilization is
indicated. Indeed, in infant feeding it is
chiefly to prevent the irritative action Of
acid produced by microbes or germs of all
kinds, whether truly milk ferments, patho-
genie bacteria, or organisms harmless I'M.
der ordinary circumstances.
Milk coagulates, acidiies, under the in.
Auence or vegetative phenomena of various
ferment organisms. The acid produced

stomach and intestinal canal Of the child.
Sterilization of fresh milk destroys the
property of the germs before any acid il
produce by their process OF nutrition.
