CONSUMPTION IN MILK
ROYAL COMMISSIONS DISCOVERY
NOT NEW IN THIS COUNTRY.

NEW YORK, February Cit turns out
that the discovery by a royal commission
In Great Britain that the drinking of raw
milk is the chief cause of consumption is
not at all new here. The health authori-
ties were told about the matter several
years ago by some of the most eminent
medical research men in this country.
These men said that DR.. Koch was all
wrong when he held that bovine tuber-
culosis was not transmittable to human
beings through milk. Nobody was found
to disagree with them, either
The conclusions Of these experts were
reached at least four years ago. 1t has
frequently been the boast of DR.. Darlington
that New York took the lead in movements
looking to the preservation of the health of
Its Inhabitants. That it spends millions
more for this purpose there~isn't any doubt.
Yet. since this discovery was made, the
most that has been done by DR.. Darlington
and those supposed to have the health of
this city under their care has been to ap-
point some thirty inspectors to 81 ,2OO-a-
year jobs, most of their work being to see
that New Workers are not cheated in get
ting adulterated milk even if they get
germs.
Germs in WaterP
So far as could be learned yesterday
no expert has stood for the theory as yet
that water is the cause of germs in milk
or that 1t does any particular harm, pro-
viding it is clean. But, of course, when
water is put in milk and the price quart
is unchanged somebody is getting cheated,
and that's all wrong. The health board
position, one physician said yesterday,
appears at present to be summed up thus:
You may get germs. but We'll try and see
that you don't get cheated
Following the discovery by the medical
research men of this country that there
was this grave danger in milk some Of
the private specialists got together in this
city and formed a milk commission of their
own. Their object was to get as pure
milk as possible for their patients Among
w. H. Park, the health boards bacteriol-
ogist; DR.. jacob and DR.. r. G. Freeman
They found that nearly half the cattle of
this state were tuberculOus. That doesn't
mean, of course that they have developed
tuberculosis, but they have the germs and
ought to be killed.
Diaries That Conform.
AS the result of two years work on the
part of these private physicians this COM
mission has got up to date just fifteen
diaries to agree to conform to such re-
uuirements as these doctors believed would
allow them to certify their milk as con-
tanning not more than 10000 germs to a
cubic centimeter. AS the milk from these
diaries is not pasteurized, they could not,
of course, certify that even this milk was
absolutely free from germs, because the
only way that can be done is by submitting
milk to sufficient heat to kill any germ 1t
may contain, which is what pasteurfzation
does. -,

The boy darted away, and Hilda fol.
| lowed him. Why had her father re
turned so Unexpectedly? He had writ
ten to her daily, and every letter had
told her that he would not be home
until Saturday.
For 20 minutes or more the gypsy
boy went onward with unfaltering
steps, and when he came to a halt
Hilda saw that she was in the midst
| of small gypsy encampment. There
I were two caravans on wheels, a can
vas bell-tent, and a couple of snarling
dogs. From the tent emerged a man
and a woman, and the man proceeded
to kick the dogs into submissive
silence.
Miss Seaton?" said he, leering.
"Yes-yes. My father is here? Let
me see him at once. He is not badly
injured?"
mo, miss; just a sprain. He was
walking from the station and taking a
short cut across the fields. He stepped
into rabbit-hole and twisted his leg.
You'll find him in the big caravan
Hilda followed the gypsy, and the
gipsy's wife brought up the rear. The
boy looked on and chuckled.
The gypsy climbed the half-dozen
steps up to the caravan, and then with
an oath gripped Hilda by the wrists.
To the girl his strength seemed her
culean. He flung her to the farther
end of the caravan, and his flaming,
bloodshot eyes terrified her.
Now you bide here!" he snarled,
"and if you utter one sQueal I'll quiet
you! Look here, miss, I'm paying
your father for what he did TO me and
mine. He got my brother two years,
and now he's going to pay me $500 or
I'll fix you and put you where you
won't be found! See?''
He flashed a murderous-looking
knife before her eyes. Then he spoke |
to his wife:
You stay with her. sybil. If she
isn't good you know what to do" he |
added, significantly passing d finger !
across his yellow throat. And call in /
the dogs and set 'em to worry her"
The womans' eyes snapped and she /
showed her teeth.

There followed another volley Of .
threats, and then the man and the /
