Chemical Action of
Milk on Metals

"Lactic acid in milk is a powerful
agent and should be given nothing
upon which it can act. Milk should
be brought in cans that are bright
and clean and delivered to the home
in glass bottles. To have cans clean
they must be sterilized and the bot.
ties must be sterilized. | found nv

ing the bottles delivered to me in his
wagon in front of my door. l un-

just what l had suspected-dle haG
gathered up bottles from the houses
OF other customers and filled them
with milk for ME without sterilizinp

usually wash them out. If they rinse
them once they are doing more than
the usual. They naturally expect
the mllkman to wash the bottles and

Typhoid Fever Germs.

. He described how they got into
the milk.
Its the water used in washing
the cans. Most dairymen use ordi-
nary water flowing through the farm.
This water has been flowing through
other farms and the rain has washed
down into it the germs that abide
wherever there has been typhoid. A
little OF this water is enough. The
farmer washes his cans in it and does
not dry them out. No milkmen do.
A few germs germ even-re-
naming in the water that clings to
the can, or collects in the bottom,
will mingle with the milk and breed
typhoid germs by the million.
Nothing will kill a germ except boil
ing hot water, and then they don't
die easily. The water must be at
least I4o degrees, and stay that way
fifteen minutes. Ice won't kill germs
nor time"
How long do germs live?"

Danger in Unclean Bottles,

The Cans Were Rusty Inside

found them not only worn down
to the black and the brown inside,
but much more rusty than on the
outside, no doubt owing to the action
of the milk, and to the water with
which they are washed or rinsed out.
Then | called on one of the most
famous physicians in Washington,
one who has given much attention to
the milk question and been promi-
nent in urging legislation.
"If the insides of milk cans are
rusty, is it bad for the milk?'

"Why?"

lactate of copper, or lactate of iron,

On Account of the Babies.

The great mortality on account
OF impure milk is among the babies
the innocent and unprotected in
fants, whose lives depend upon the
honesty of the milkman. It's because
so many babies lives are sacrificed
every year by allowing milkmen to
run the milk business as they wish
that we must have strict laws, and
you can't depend on milkmen to put
in expensive improvements and hire
men to help them keep cans clean
unless you force them to, and then
there are many of thenn-the major
ity of thenl-who can't afford to do
these things. They haven't the capi-
tai to build or run dairies as thew
should be, and hence the great oppo-
sition developed whenever legisla-
ton is attempted. OF course, the
public has it in its own hands. It
can patronize dairies that are known

Reed has worked al- most year in the interest of this com- mittee and his work has been of the hardest kind. He did almost all the re- ceiving and paying for the committee, and practically had charge of the un- dergraduate portion of the great cele- bration of last October It was through his efforts that the students made such a brilliant showing and he certainly IS to be congratulated on the fact of the encouraging report just submitted. The report is long one and shows that about $100 was collected from each class The expenses were very large, among them being for the amphitheater on the campus, the costumes of the dlf- ferent classes, torches, the orchestra and the bands, aside from scores ot m1- nor things that had to be taken out Of | the receipts.
 The largest output was for Frank Lee Short, the director of the dramatics on the campus, who rendered a bill for
 the full expenses of the dramatics Of $2,325.
 Dr. Reed announces in his report that
 the money left over will be used for
 placing a bronze tablet on the campus marking the site of the first building ever erected in New Haven for Yale college The tablet will be placed very
