that it the milk supplies were
made safe by pasteurization, there
would be a falling off in the de-
mand for certified milk, which
now brings from Is to 80 cents a
quart, netting enormous profits to
the trust.
III may sum up the results of
the meeting by referring to the res
olutions that we adopted, which
were to the effect that infected
milk is the common cause of con-
sumption, that the dairy herds
shonld be tested with tuberculin
and all diseased cattle weeded out,
and the milk supplies should be
generally pasteurized SO as to kill
the tubercle bacilli.
CONSUMPTION PREVENTABLE.
/ 1.-THE members of the league
were imbued with a strong sense of
their duty to labor for the proven
ton of tuberculosis and to spread
abroad the knowledge of the fact
that consumption is a preventable
disease, and that the bulk of the
suffering now caused by this plague
can be removed by making milk
supplies safe.
"When we were in New York
we saw nothing more interesting
and more hopeful than the pasteu-
rized milk stations established and
maintained in various parts of the
city by Mr.. Strauss. We saw
great ice boxes on wheels travelling
about distributing the pasteurized
milk from the central laboratory
to the various stations, and we felt
that the world at large and the
people of New York in particular
ought to appreciate that it was
the pasteurized milk contained in
those ice boxes that was the pfac-
tical answer to the question,
what shall we do about tuberc1-
lOsiS?
"Of course we fully realize the
gravity of other means of contagion
and urge, as we have done for
years. the value Of sunshine, light
and air, and hygienic living as
having a great array of factors in
the prevention of this disease.
"Dr. Florence O,Donohue, of
Syracuse, n. Y, president of the
state board of health of New York,
was elected president of the league.
"Dr. William Fl. Mayfield, sur
geon in chief of the Mayfeld SAM
tarium, ST. Louis Mo-, was elected

"NTrs. J. R. Briggs, of Dallas,

P@teurized Milk Solves Question of
Prevention Of Great White Plague.

DR.. George Brown, former presi
pent of the league, has returned
from the meeting of the American
Anti Tuberculosis League, at At
lantic City, N. j., and talked in
terestingly Thursday morning of
the discussion ON the subject of
preventing tuberculosis, and of the
results gained by the use of pas
teurized milk. The war that is
being waged between two rival
anti tuberculosis organizations was
referred to by him.
DR.. Brown did not stand for re-
election to the presidency of the
league, and was succeeded by DR..
Florence Donohue, of Syracuss, N.
Y. In talking of the meeting DR..
Brownssaid:
NECESSITY OF LEAGUE.
'EOur meeting at Atlantic City
demonstrated very clearly the ne
cessity for the American Anti-Tu-
berculosis League.
"The first thing that was made
clear by the paper Of DR. Donocue,
the new president of the league,
and by all who followed him in
the discussion, was that our league
is abreast with modern knowledge
on the subject of tuberculosis and
realizes and accepts the fundamen-
tai fact that the common cause OF
consumption is the Election OF hui
man being with tubercl bacilli con
veyed into the human stomach by
milk.
"Both DR.. Donohue and DIR.
Schroeder, t b e Federal expert,
showed conclusively that consump-
ton must be fought at the dairy
farm and in the milk supply; and
Nathan Straus, t h New York
philanthropist, showed that the
practical way in which to eyict tu-
bercglocsis from the milk supply is
by pasteurizing all milk that is
under any possible suspicion of be-
ing infected. This is the position
which was taken within the past
month by commission of the fore
most experts in the country at
Washington.
"Pasteurization is a very differ
ent from boiling. The latter pro
cess undoubtedly causes some coag-
ulation of the milk and may render
it less digestible. But pasteuriza-
ton consists in heating the milk
for twenty minutes to tempera-
ture of 1877 degrees, which is far
below the cooking point, and,
therefore, it does not give to the
milk a cooked taste and does not
render it any less digestibJe than
raw milk. In proving all this,
Mr. SIRIUS cited the fact that he
had fed 10000 children in t h e
tenement districts of New York
with pasteurized milk with abso
Iutely good results in all these
many cases.
TWO SOCIETIES AT WAR.
|Incidently it was brought out
at the meeting that the National
Society for the Study Of Tuber-
culosis was conducting a secret and
active campaign against the
American Anti-TuberculOsis
League. Mr.. William Writ Mills,
of New York city, exposed the
cause of this hostility. He said
that the National Society was
dominated by men who were inter
ested in the certified milk trust,
Aud that it was perfectly obvious

MACADAM AND GRAVEL.

AT Fort Worth. Texas, we learned
that their roads are all gravel, owing to
the fact that Iarrant county abounds i'll
gravel pits, having as many as three to
the mile of roadway, and the roads are
worked exclusively by convict labor, all
roads being opened by the communities
through which they pass, under the
overseer system, without cost to the
county.
The County of Dallas has consider
able mileage of Macadam, built under
government specifications, besides much
gravel, making some two hundred miles
of permanent roadway. Here several
hours were spent in the discussion of
their roads, with county engineer and
board of commissioners, who extended
us every facility in our research The
county engineer stated that the cost of
maintenance on these roads was heavy,
and in an increasing ratio to the age of
the road further, that neither Macadam
nor gravel would stand up under auto
mobile use, which views were confirmed
by the chairman of the county supervis-
ors of Los Angeles, CAL 1t seems that
the contact of the rubber tire produces
first spreading, followed by contract
ing force against the road surface, caus-
ing gradual loosening of the particles
which are whipped away from their
bearings by the rapidly revolving
wheels of the machine.

BERNARD sHAw's RELIGION

1t will come as a surprise to many to
learn that Bernard Shaw, the sub
versive and paradoXical dramatist, re-
CARDS religion as "the most interesting
thing in the world" He has confessed
that, as a dramatic critic in London,
he often wondered why people paid
high prices to see bad theatrical per-
formances when by going to West
minister Abbey or st. PauPs cathedral
they might have listened to much
more interesting talk" free of charge.
On the invitation of the Rev. II. j.
Campbell Mr. Shaw recently occupied
the pulpit of the most influential Con-
gregationalist church in England, the
London City temple. and from this
point of vantage defined his religious
views. His address was attentiVely
listened to by large and enthusiastic
audience and according to a reporter
for the Caristian Commonwealth (Lon-
dom, was distinguished by an atti-
tude essentially reVerent." In fact,
Mr. Campbell who presided over the
meeting and took occasion to affirm his
substantial agreement with Shaw's po-
sition, has since declared; 'rhe one
thing that astonished the City temple
audience was the moral seriousness Of
Mr.. Shaw"
According to Mr.. Shaw's definition,
a religious man Is "a man who has
constant sense, amounting on his part
to positive knowledge that he Is only

LUMBER TRADn FLnEclNG

An object lessen in the causes Of higi
lumber prices and the consequent cur
tailment Of building in Los Angeles Is
given by the report Of lumber con-
signment now unloading at San Pedro
The vessel carrying this load of lum'
Der had been in the oriental trade ant
its owners seem to have been attracted
by the excessive rates secured for the
transportation of lumber from the
north to California ports. That the
owners had good cause to steer theit
craft into the lumber trade Is evil
denced by the report of this initial
voyage.
The cargo consists Of 100000 feet,
the aggregate wholesale value OF
which is s65,00O. The owners Of the
vessel are to receive, as reported,
something over $4,000 for transporta-
tion. They will get, consequently.
nearly one-third the value of the cargo
at San Pedro for the service of trans
porting it from Tacoma to its destina-
tion. The vessel in question, although
claiming the record for the largest
cargo of lumber ever delivered at that
port, is only of moderate size. Its
gross tonnage is 1858 tons and its
length S51 feet.
No wonder that the lumber traffic of
this coast attracts vessels from the
oriental and other foreign trade. TAX
ing into account the present value Of
the vessel noted and the fact that it
carries a crew of only twenty-nine men,
it is doubtful If the round trip from
Tacoma will foot UP an actual cost
to the owners of more than $4,000. A
year ago the freightage rate from the
lumber ports to San Pedro averaged
less than one-half the present figures,
and there has been no additional cost
of transportation worth mentioning.
The fact that a vessels owners can
pocket $4,000, approximately, as profit
on a single cargo, gives an idea of the
outrageous fleeing Los Angeles home
builders suffer from the lumber wolves.
The timber in the northern forests is
ago, but the extraordinary demand for
lumber has enabled all intermediate
parties, between the timber owner and
the home builder, to exact excessive
profits.
This fleeing process all along the
lumber line recalls the experience of a
Michigan fruit culturist who sent a
small consignment of apples to New
York produce commission firm. After
waiting a long time he received
statement with a formidable line of
debits-fruit damage, storage, carriage,
cooperage, etc. There was only a
balance left to his credit He
wrote back, Il think you have over
looked one item-stealage. Insert that
to balance my credit and close the ac-
count"
