PASTEURIZE MILK
ONLY SAFE WAY
Interesting Paper Read by
an Authority on Pure
Foods.
New York State Taken as
Example, aud Futility of
Inspections Shown.

What Health Departments Can Do
to Secure Pure Milk" was the title of
an interesting paper read last week at
the meeting in Buffalo Of the health
officers Of the State. by DR.. Thomas
Darlington, health commissioner Of New
York city.
THE problem of a pure milk supply
for a city is solved" DR.. Darlington
said. when the department of health
can guarantee that all milk sold with
IN the city limits is drawn from per
fectIy healthy and normal COWS, housed
in comfortable and sanitary quarters.
MIXED by a clean and healthy person
into a sterile contatner, quickly cooled,
transported and delivered to the con-
sumner in a sealed package.
How Inspection Fails.
The daily milk supply of New York,
he said, amounts TO l. $50. 900 quarts. gath
cred from about 3d. 900 farms. and shipped
from about 700 creamer1es located in six
States. The supervision of these 5000
farms is intrusted TO sixteen inspectors,
or one 70 something over 1000 farms
Each Of these officers inspects on an
average ten farms a day which, allow
different farms. would give him per
haps thirty minutes for each farm
The most that can be hoped for from
the most thorough inspection possible IS
that the milk supplied 10 the city shah
be microscopically Clean-free, that is,
from admixture Of manure and other
gross impurities-and containing only
few thousands of ubiquitous bacteria to
rba r.111fCs r+urfrr7afar
Even Then No Assurance Of Safety
Even then there could be no certainty
that the milk would be always abso-
lutely sterile as regards the bacili of tu-
berculosis. typhoid fever, and diph-
iberia, TO say nothing of occasional ac-
cidental contamination with other path
Ogenic germs.
Nevertheless, the present milk supply
can be rendered reasonably safe by pas
teurizatiOn, which kills the existing
germs even If ii does not destroy the
toxins already formed or prevent subse-
qUent growth when not kept cool and in
sealed receptacles.
The only safety for the consumers Of
milk in this and other cities throughout
the country lies in municipal pasteuriza-
ton.

JOINT PROTEST
REGARDING CONGO
MAY CONE SOON
United States May Join
European Countries in
Condemning Abuses.

There is every reason 70 believe that
joint action may shortly be taken by
the governments Of the United States,
France, Germany, and England to adj
dress note to the Belgian government
protesting against the continuance OF
the alleged abuses in the Congo.
At the last session of Congress the
Senate passed a resolution expressing
the horror with which the American
people had heard Of the alleged perpe-
tration OF atrocities on the natives OF
the Congo, and requesting the President
to take such steps as might be proper
to bring about an amelioration OF these
abuses.
There was then also in Belgium a plan
by which It was proposed that the state
should take over the crowns private
Interests IN the Congo and administer
them. This 1t was hoped would put a
stop to whatever mjsmanagement eX-
listed. and it was hoped by the Admins
trafion here that that plan would be
adopted.
IN that case It would become unneces-
sary for this Government to take any
action upon the Senate resolution. Now,
however, the dispute between King Leo
poId and the cabinet over this subject
has practically ended In leaving the
Congo still under the control Of the
King, which means that the admins
tratiOn Of the lands viii be unchanged.
Under these circumstances. IL is
thought IN official circles here that the
time has arrived for the governments
most Interested 10 forward 10 Belgium
some OF the indignant protests Whlch
have been made by religious and benev-
OIeDt institutions all over the world, to-
gether with a note calling attention 10
these expressions OF popular feeling.

Sudden Death.

Yesterday afternoon Christ Fred.

west of here on Watson Greek, drove
to WykOff. as near as we can ascertain
at this writing he became intoxicated
and so much so that Mr.. Westpahl, a
neighbor, had to accompany him
home. When in the act of getting
down from the wagon, in his own
door yard, he fell and dislocated his
spine, rendering him helpless. He
was carried into the house and when
asked if doctor should be summoned,
replied that he would be all right
shortly and then apparently fell
asleep. Mr.. Westahl went home, leav-
ing Mrs. Fredrickson alone with her
husband. On account of his heavy
breathing, a few minutes later, she
became alarmed and went to a
neighbor and telephoned for Dr.
Grinnell. She was gone only short
time but the injured one had died
during her absence Preston Times.

Child Is Lost.

The citizens of southwest Smithfield
township were thrown into quite a
fever of excitement Monday by the
straying away from home of the 21a
year old child of Fred LAUDER and
wife, who live on the old Price farm
The child was let out OF doors about
nine O'Clock I'M the morning and was
accompanied by the family dog, and
though all the citizens of that neigh
borhood were out searching, the child
was not found till about 4 30 in the
afternoon. 1t had wandered nearly
two miles from home and when found
was asleep on the ground with the
faithful dog watching it. Though
quite badly scratched with going
through wire fences severely chilled
from its long exposure in the cold
wind and on the damp ground the
little one bids fair to experience no
bad results from its long tramp. =

aside the indictments was because
the names of election judges and
clerks were returned by them for jury
duty, when the law forbids the re-
turning Of names of persons who re.
quest to be placed upon such lists, Oh
the ground that the act of placing
their own names upon the list by
