INSUFFICIENT PASTEURIZATIOH A BLIND
Milk Improperly Pasteurized Cause
of Large Mortality.

! From the Metropolitan Magazine
/ Il is said that no dealer can afford the
/ trouble and expense Of complete pasteur-
! izati0n. The process as sometimes en-
/ ployed consists in subjecting the milk to
/ about 40 degrees Of heat for perhaps half
| q minute. This operation serves 20 Kill
The souring germs or bacteria which pro-
/ duce sour milk. but does not necessarily
Kill the disease germs. It is the common
| est of falacies to suppose that it kills all
| these germs, or thoroughly purIdes the
milk. The weaker pathological germs are
/ destroyed, leaving many of the stronger
/ TO multiply the better. Moreover. certain
germs breed much faster i'm the milk after
| the hurried process. and it Is for these
| reasons. and not because Of the great
| expense, that the health board has been
SO slow TO accede to the public demand
for pasteurizatiou. Since il is an axiom
hat perfectly good milk does not need to
be pastcurized. why. then. should the
| dealer resort to the process? II is done

a poorer quality. IL may be several days
Old, or it may be part Of the surplus from
the day before that would otherwise sour
on his hands at a dead loss. There is
also a simple type Of customer who will
not buy milk unless the cream belt shows
clear at the top. To the careless pas
tcurizer this customer is a lamb. because
the process causes the cream 70 rise at
once On ordinary milk the cream will
not rise for some time. and the ignorant
viii nine times out Of ten pass this by to
buy an inferior and older bottle. which is
precisely what the dealer intends he shall
do. There is magic in the name to the
ears of layman. and he cheerfully pays
round sum fer the article. He imagines
that it is absolutely pure, and that it is
quite unnecessary to take any special pre-
cautions in keeping it. While the souring
germs are killed. the germs Of pUtrefac-
ton are less affected. and in the absence
Of the warning sOurers thrive actively
and fearlessly. Last year 5,SU children Of

It is the belief Of those who have inves-
tigateG .he matter that improperly pas
teurized milk played no small part in this
large mortality.
The secret of wholesome milk lies in
perfect cleanliness from the time it leaves
the udder until it is delivered to the con-
sumer. l. it is clean it will keep perfectly
if properly cooled. Unclean milk is the
result Of unclean handling. which is born
Of Ignorance or indifference, the wors;
enemies OF the milk police. The use Of

by the commercial Importance of main

considerations alike support the PROPOSE

and cannot be the result of force. II is
understood here that President Cabrera.
Of Guatemala, is the prime spirit In the
agitation for a Central American Union
bound together by harmonious agreement.
while Honduras, represented by President
Zelaya, Is said 20 be welded 20 the old
plan Of personal aggrandizement, which
has been the frequent cause Of turmoil in
Latin-American politics.
The concern OF the United States in the
peaceful development Of Central America
IS material The total commerce between
these five countries and the United
States in 1905 reached nearly S22500.00l
in value, and Of this sum we sold about
3, ,2o0,0o0 more than we bought Any dis
turbance Of trade by domestic or in

CHURCH NOT EXEMPT.
North Carolina Avenue MethOdists
Must Pay Taxes.

The refund Of taxes TO the North Caro-
lima Avenue Methodist Protestant Church
is the subject Of a communication to the
Commissioners from District Attorney D.
W. Baker who states that he understands
that this church is included with those
allowed such refund by act Of Congress.
in reply, +. W. W. Griffin, assessor of
the District 20 whom the letter was re-
fcrred. states that the church in question
is not included in the list Of religious or
educational institutions for which a re
fund is provided by an act Of Congress Of
February l. 1901.
The records show that the Commission
ers, under date OF January "A, 1907, recon-
mended to Congress that the act be
amended so as 90 include the North Caro-
lima Avenue Methodist Protestant Church
but that the bin was enacted into law
without such an amendment In view Of
these facts. Mr.. Griffin says that it would
seem that the only recourse would be an
