BRIEF" and that churchgoing ought to be

The report of the Boston board of health,
which has been investigating large num-
ber of cases of diphtheria in one of the
districts of the city, has considerable peril
nenoy in other towns and cities as we'll as
Boston. The disease has been largely con-
fined to children in the public schools and
the board on careful investigation finds
that its source has been mainly from asso
citation of we'll children in the schools with
those who had not fully recovered from
this disease, or with those who have mild
type of diphtheria which the parents sup.
posed to be only bronchitis or sore throat.
There is British Goat society, and it
has the Baroness Burdett-Co for presi-
dent. 1t held meeting the other day, and
paper was read in which much stress
was laid upon the value of goats milk as a
diet for infants and invslids. The speaker
declared that with proper cleanliness there
was no more animal flavor in goats milk
than in cows milk He then went on to
say that recent analyses proved that goats
milk gave double the quantity of fat, and
half as much again as other solids, as cows
milk. Analysis has shown, too, that the
short-hsired goats gave richer milk than
the other varieties, and where there WAS a
larger quantity of milk there was also a
larger quantity of water. OF course, goats
milk varied in quality according to the
food with which the animal was fed. The
cream globules of goats milk were smaller,
he added, than those of cows railk, and, in
consequence, the cream rose slowly, which
was quality that made it more easily di,
geeted than cows milk. This easy digea-
tibility of goats milk made it valuable to
adults as we'll as to invalids. For house
hold use, he maintained, goats milk was
infinitely superior to cows milk. Custarda
and puddings were far richer when it was
employed in their production, and to tea
and coffee it impaired peculiar richness.
