THAI MILK ORDINANCE.

nR- ROBIN. bacterlologist Of the
- Water Commission. writes a let
ter 70 a local paper on the subject OF
the now milk ordinance that must con-
vince any reasonable person that coun-
ell has performed a public service in
adopting this resolution.
There is not an item that comes into
our households that requires more care
ful supervision than milk Everybody
uses 1t. and it is one OF the chief foods
Of infants. Not only is It susceptible Of
adulteration without ready detection.
but the greatest care must be exercised
TO keep out Impurities and disease
germs.
One Of the easiest ways imaginable
TO transmit disease is thorugh milk
and when we think OF the thousands
OF children whose diet consists largely
in milk, there need be no wonder that
the city fathers regard it as a matter
within their province.
Ask any physician how the disease Of
an animal may be transferred to a
human being; ask him about the possi-
bility OF transmitting disease germs
because Of unsanitary conditions sur
rounding the dairy. and one will be
impressed with the importance Of this
subject.
Think Of the sick children who are
obliged to take milk. and then think Of
the possibility OF their food containing
elements that act as a poison. Yet thi.
thing is occurring to an extent in ever,
city.
The honest and careful dealer Is no
affected 10 any appreciable extent .
Is the careless man or one who woul,
make a profit out OF the misplaced con
ndence OF the public, that the ordinanc
Is aimed at.
It isn't a pleasant thought that W
may be drinking milk from sick cattle
from cattle with pulmonary disease,
for all that we know. The dairyma
himself may be in ignorance. Unde

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.

THE organization Of womens clubs
4 in most OF the Delaware towns has
demonstrated womans capacity to deal
with practical affairs. and even though
she does not have the ballot. she ac-
compllshes much without.
Whenever the women Of any Of these
towns decide on a new town ordinance
or the enforcement OF some law that
has been winked at, they invariably
succeed.
They have even interested themselves
in state legislation. and they have
never failed where they have been
aroused and united. II may seem pre-
sumptuous to urge them to take a
greater interest in public matters when
they are denied the ballot. yet very
likely Il is by this means that their fit-
ness for the ballot and their desire for
It viii be demonstrated and made i'm
presslve
In addition to other questions which
the women generally favor, we suggest
few more: Our public schools-parti-
oularly the drafting Of a new charter
for the schools Of this city. Then they
might express themselves on the sub
jeot Of pure ballot, since many of
them want to take this instrument Of
power into their fair hands.
They might go further and urge the
building OF a state tuberculosis hos
pital; and the question Of prison re-
form in Delaware should interest them.
We have no doubt II the women repre-
sented in the various social organlza-
tions were to decide on a definite policy
with definite measures. and were to
work energetically, they would succeed
in most Instances. Somebody has said
that when most women want to vote
they viii get the ballot We believe
that, too.
