NADIA.
Diremos a nuestros corteses
lectores en- que Consiste este
metodo llamado de Budde, su
proponente, @ como llamanlo los
alemanes Basddlsierung.
La question del empleo del
aqua oxigenada para conservar
Y esterilizar la leche eS antigua:
pero en- estos ultimos tiempos
ha llegado a ser de actualidad,
especialmente <por obra del in
geniero Budde, que ha escogido
un metodo muy simple por su
practica y pOr Ell cual ha obte-
nido patente especial.
Ell procedimiento Sc funda
sobre Ell poder que tiene la le-
che de descomponer Ell aqua
oxigenada, poniendo en- liber
tad parte del Oxigeno, cuyo po-
der bactericida es indiscutible.
Consiste en- llevar la leche a
5oe c. y agregarle aqua oxige-
nada en- la meZcla por dos horas
y media en- i'm recipiente tapa-
do y la temperature de $50 c..
Ell inventor, antes de dar al
p1blico su m6todo hizo cuida-
dosas pruebas, las cuales, q su
modo de decir, dieron siemp1e
resultados satisfactorios, COM
provados c invulnerables a toda
critica. Como consecuencia,
Budde afirma que, la leche ira =
tada con Ell procedimiento de
Su jnvenci6n sc cOnserva por
largo tempo esteril, no sufre
ninguna transformation quinn -
ca y su aspeCto y su olor Carac-
teristicos son los de la leche
fresca. Y por fin la actividad
de los fermentos y las enzimas
lacteas quedan impedidas, mien-
tras el aqua oxigenada adjunta
Sc separa toda en- aqua y ox1-
geno, sin dejar en- la leche min
gun vestigio de materias extra
mas.
La sterilization de la leche
para el consume del hombre, ha
constituido siempre I'm proble-
ma sobre Ell cual los higienistas
de todos los tiempos han entire
tenido sus geniales estudios y
sus importantes experimentos,
despues de la discussion de ST la
tuberculosis de los animales es
trasmisible al hombre, cuyo

su alto precio.
Yensen y Schierbeck conside-
ran Ell procedimiento con sim
patfa, pero manihestan que no
es possible una completa esterj-

pruebas que seg1n Budde de-
mostraron la Decomposition de
las toxinas, habrian sido posi-
bles para con las toxinas de

Says Privilege of Free Speech ls Bright
 Particular star. s New York, Dec. 22.-Former Gov ernor. Frank s. Black addressed the members of the New England Society at the Waldorf Astoria tonight. Mir. Black said:
 We hear too much of larger mean ings for the constitution of powers by construction Of the new significance of public demands. These should prevail not because they are popular, but only because and never~ unless they are right.
 Among the privileges in this won drous country. the bright particular one Is the privilege of free speech. When that goes. popular Eovernment goes with 1t. But great as 1t fs, he should be deprived of it who uses 1t only to say. what he befieyes others think.
 ,Trhe reIihquishment of power by public servants to the populace Is wrong. The oath of ofice binds the men who take 1t not to be guided by the peoples whi1ns.
 MT. Black condemned haste in Fed eral and State action and said:
 ''Tarif revision Is the latest cure all. but It's object Is to transform what was in existence for years; 1t has vir- tues which even it's warniest advocates have never learned.
 We are going fast enough. so that I feel that I am straying far when bring down from the gArret, and speak . word In favor of the duties they owe us.

 "A haif-hundred Michigan farmers came to Georgia to see the situatlon with their own eyes and were enter itained by an enterprising real estate firm at Brunswick, Ga.

 "As illustrating the resumption of normal conditions, one of the great railway companies Is to re-estaoilsn an industrial office at Mobile. Ala. Its office there was closed during the late panic, fin accordance with the general policy that prevailed among the rail- roads at that time.
 An interesting fact Is the desire or the farming communities of the two States for better telephone service. Extensions of lines are being made almost constantly and 1t will not be long before Georgia and Alabama will be one great network of wires"

Ky. January 2, 1908. were upheld by Judge Walter Evans in the Federal Court here today.
 Judge Evans ruled that the defense of the companies that the riot clause exempted them from paying losses caused by night riding organizations, had not been met by the plaintiffs and the suits were dismissed.
 The case will go to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, as it Is pre- cedental and there is much similar lit- igation pending in Kentucky as the result of the night rider troubles.
