PRESERVED MILK.

The disclosures made by Earlham
college that some local dairymen are
preserving the milk they deliver to
Richmond consumers by means of for
maldehyde, should cause the officials
of the city health department to take
up the question at once and prosecute
all dealers found guilty of using this
preservative or any other preserva-
tive Time and time and again at
tention has been called TO the danger
Of using formaldehyde as a preserva-
tive for milk. 1t preserves milk. to
be sure, but it also acts as a prevent
alive to proper digestion when taken
into the stomach. The various milk
dealers all know this. They know fur
thermore, that fOrmaldehyde intro
duced into the stomach of an infant
through the milk it drinks is ten times
more dangerous than in the case of an
adult. In other cities instances
abound where infants who have died
of so-called stomach trouble have in
reality died from the effects of formal
dehyde which was used as a preserva-
tive in the milk they drank. Local
dairymen know this and yet some are
so base as TO continue the use of this
dangerous DreSeryatiye
\ short time ago it was proposed
that the city council should pass a
stringent ordinance governing the
milk supply of Richmond. Among
other things proposed was the idea
of having a central depot for the pas
teurization OF the milk supply of the
city. Immediately the dairymen took
strong exceptions to the proposed or
dinance, claiming that 1t would so in
crease their operative expenses that
the price of milk would have to be
raised to ten cents a quart, Nothing
has been heard of the matter for some
time now. but the discovery that Ger
tain dairymen are using formaldehyde
in direct violation of the law will
doubtless revivify the efforts of those
who want guaranteed pure milk sup
ply for this city.
There is more or less similarity be
tween the fight to eliminate the saloon
now being made, and to force milk
dealers to provide pure milk. The sa
