It is asserted that Alexandra has been
for some years in great need Of an
apartment house, which seems to be
borne out by the fact that a majority Of
the apartments have already been ap-
piled for. The charter for the company
was granted by the State corporation
commission only a few weeks ago, and no
time has been lost in perfecting arrange

DOCTORS STAFF OF OFFICE.
Gold Topped Cane Carried by Many
Distinguished Physicians.

A gold-headed cane used to be consid-
cred a necessary part Of a physicians
outfit, as indispensable to the profession
as the medicine bag OF the general air Of
wisdom. says the Youths Companion. In
the rooms Of the London College Of Ply
sicians there is preserved a gold-topped
staff which IS famous as having been
carried by a succession Of prominent doc
tors whose lives extended over a period
of nearly a century and a half. Dr. WI
liam Macmichael has published an ac-
count Of it in a quaint little book in
which the story OF the various owners
and their characteristics is told.
The cane originally belonged to the
great Dr.. Radcliffe, OF the seventeenth
century. The doctor himself, rather quick
as to temper, was once treated 10 biting

The cane passed in succession from DR..

views of H. II. TrundIe.

H H Trundle, a milk dealer at 40
Twentieth street, outlined his views as
follows:
These regulations are all right If they
are framed up and enforced in the right
way, but l believe that the thing will be
carried TO excess. In the case OF the
farmers who are not wealthy the rule
which compels elaborate concreting about
barns and walks and dairies Will prove
too expensive, and will result in driving
many milkmen to the wall. Then the
method in which the tuberculin test is TO
be applied strikes me as foolish. as. if It
Is TO be effective, it must be applied be-
fore each milking, and not once or twice
year, as was recommended. A cow can
easily become affected between milkings.
and If the test is applied only at stated
intervals it would be almost useless
believe in the recommendation that the
food given the cows be carefully super
vised. and that the cans be most carefully
cleaned out. There are several other
things in the regulations which meet my
heartiest approval"
Opposes Tuberculin Test.

tons is the so-called tubereuln test.

The Washington herald., 1907-07-21

When large COWS are feJ. almost exclusively On
the above ration, il must be expected that low

ceiTes can containing ten gallons Of milk produced
under these conditions be has the ven delicate lob
TO perform in dividing il into forty quarts OF eighty
plnts and make each Of them contain 81 per cent
butter fats Everything considered ! think the
finding Of the inspectors is far from discUuaging
If we look further, SEE that the scientists have
been the cause Of all the mischief the dairyman has
done
When The farmer used the cheap and watery feed
his milk was very white The scientist cast about
for a remedy, aud discovered the anuattO bean
and, 10! the milk was very yellow. The butter
maker had the same trouble. He could not put
the color IN his butter uniformly. The SCENTS,
again appeared to adjust matters. and found a very
uDwholesome kind Of oil - mix with his annatto
bean-resut all butter yellow The scientist visited
cheese factory and saw the possibilities Of great
profit Why waste good cream In cheese? Skim
L of and make butter; put substitute lolio Gill
N us place; the public viii never be any wiser.
At onco the flled cheese made its appearance on
the market, not only in An dca. but in the export
market, with the result thaC the great export trade
from the Empire State was ruined in a day. Twelve
OF fifteen years have elapsed. and the State has
not recovered its prestige and the dairy product q
the whole Of the United States has suffered.
On another occasion milk dealer had many cum
plants from his customers that his milk turned
sour and much loss occurred. A scientist heard Of
the dealers woe, and he repaired 10 his laboratory
and fell 10 thinking and after some experiments
he found that salt, soda, and boracic acid mixed
made the desired product. Then he proclaimed 70
the world Eureka" and sent preseryaline all over
the world. telling the dairyman it was harmless.
Mr.. Hepburn found that this preservaline was kill

resulted IN certain bill called the Vlre-food law

farmer told 10 boil old sour dirty milk in this
peculiar kind Of pot. and il would keep sweet for
ever and the farmer is now boiling his dirty sour
milk. and says 70 his customers It is just as good as
the other fellows. When l examined the list Of
adulterated foods 1 am forced TO conclude as did
Gov. Hoard, that behind every fraud and every
aduteration in the food line is a scientist From
the foregoing 1t would seem that the only sure

Heavy Financial Burden, the
Dairymen Say-TubercuIin Test Is
Deemed ImpracticabIe.

All the large cities in recent years have
been giving serious attention TO the ques-
ton of the purity of the milk supply.
Washington has not been an exception.
Indeed, there has been such persistent
agitation here in official, scientific, and
medical circles that the dairy business
has suffered sadly.
So alarming have been many Of the re-
ports, that people who formerly used
milk literally have come TO be afraid to
use il at all. Dairymen declare that
there has been no ample cause for all this
agitation. that reports have been greatly
exaggerated, and that the bulk OF the
milk supply OF the city is wholesome and
handled In a clearly and healthful way.
They say that the regulations proposed
by the Department of Agriculture, II car
rIed out literally. can have but one re-
sult-that Of driving many dairymen out
Of the business altogether, and in the end
creating a monopoly in the milk trade
which will mean virtual doubling OF the
price TO the consumer.
Dairynen Of Virginia and Maryland are
especially exercised, and have employed
able counsel to look after their interests.
In the recent Congressional campaign in
the Eighth Virginia district this milk
question was one Of the issues. The sue
cessful candidate, Mr.. Carlin. put himself
on the side of the dairymen, and pledged
himself. II elected. TO guard their inter
ests IN Congress.
Nathan Straus, the eminent New York
philanthropist. who has made a hobby Of
the milk supply question. is now on his
way TO Europe, and while there intends
further to study pasteurlzation methods
abroad and report thereon upon his re-
turn.
Much space has been given in the past
TO the scientific and official side Of this
question. To-day The Washington Herald
prints a number of interviews with dairy
men. in order that their side OF the case
may be known. They insist that in all
the agitation they have not been given
fair play.
