England has taken the thing with

DIR. w. c. Woodward, Health officer
OF the District. in his report for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1907. sub

thropic citizens of milk stations. where

Milk In Households.
Particular emphasis is laid by Dr.
Woodward upon the care Of milk IN
the households. which feature OF the
milk supply, he says, has not received

THE milk that does the harm" says
the report, lis milk as 1t is actually
consumed, and not milk as it is left by
dairymen at the front door. There is
an lateIypreceding the use
OF milk during which time it is beyond
the control OF any public authority.
Much depends upon the intelligence, in
terest, and energy OF the citizen and
something depends upon his ability 10

The work OF the milk inspection ser

10 the remarkable deere Use in the death
rate among infants that began with the
establishment OF that service.

so clear as to justify the conclusion
that the improved character OF the milk
supply was largely, although possibly
not entirely. responsible for the diminish
ed death rate.
1T is, however cetrain that since its
establishment. the milk inspection SER
vice. acting in conjunction with the con-
tagious disease service. has enabled the
Health Department TO discover seven

that the milk inspection service has
amply justified its existence.
VIII Inspect Every DaiIy Farm.
II is expected that during the coming
year every oairy farm supplying milk TO
the District OF Columbia will be in

made that a ARCHAEOLOGICAL laboratory

death rate per LOO was 1875. as COM

The high death rate Of the District
as compared to other cities. says the
report. Is due 10 the relatively high
death rate among the colored people,
who, taken as a whole, represent the
poorer and more ignorant class and the
class that is most exposed TO the hard
