test, knowing. as they must have known.
that about 1900 cows are required 70
furnish milk TO the District OF Columbia,
and at the rate OF $3.50 or s. per head
to apply the tuberculin test, IT would re-
suit in something like S50, 600 to be divid-
ed among the veterinarians Of Washing
ton SO dazzling was this sum that they
(the veterinaries) could not resist the
temptation OF making an effort to realize
on their calculation. They also appealed
to the health officer and In him found
a ready and willing advocate OF the
tuberculin test. and he In turn used the
influence Of his Office 10 further the prof.
ect and IN this case, as he did IN the
pasteurization scheme, caused a long
article on the merits Of the tuberculin
test 10 be published il the city press.
Proprietary Infant Foods.
The manufacturers Of the many pro-
prietary infant foods that are now on the
market are also using their influence
10 drive out the sale of raw milk, as
they well know that babies must be fed,
and that some of the many brands must
be used as a substitute for raw milk,
and, unfortunately for the public, and
especially the mothers of young babies,
some Of the medical profession are pre-
scribing special brands, and it is only
after the children who are suffering and
dying from the use OF these ''nOstrums'
are given up by the physician that the
parents are told the only hope is TO in
duce the child TO take cows milk. At
that stage OF the case the childs ston1-
ach is so debilitated that it VIII not re-
tain anything, not even cows milk, and
the mother is left with only one consola-
tion-the one chance In a hundred that
the child may recover.
The Condensed MIX Man.
The condensed milk manufacturers by
far wield a greater power and influence
than any other causes affecting the sale
Of raw milk. They have called 10 their
aid millions Of dollars, and they. ike the
other agencies mentioned above, encir-
Gle the globe While they do not direct
~ and fcrcibly try 10 drive out the raw
milk man, they get behind the health
board and make them do IT, by publish
ing alarming and sensational articles re-
specting the high rate Of infant mortal
ity. and by securing drastic legislation
with which it is next to impossible for
the milk man 10 comply. A reference 10
the United States census reports will
show that since the war against raw milk
has been raging the manufacture and sale
OF CONDENSED MIX mas about doubled.
While it has been intmated by some
that the infant mortality has increased
at the same ratio as the sale OF con-
densed milk has increased, I am not pre-
pared 10 furnish statistics. The trouble
to-day Is not caused by the use Of raw
milk. but for the lack of the use of raw
milk: and when the medical profession
and the parents OF children are in some
way brought 10 understand that fresh,
wholesome. raw milk is the only safe
and sure substitute for mothers milk
will there be any hope Of decreasing the
infant mortality. II half Of the dire and

THE REAL CAUSE OF THE
MILK CRUSADE IN WASHINGTON
Many Selfish Interests Served in the Name
of Philanthropy.

In almost every instance where the use
Of raw milk has been rallied against as
dangerous the real cause can be traced
directly to sslf-interests, or ii can be
shown that the writer Is interested in
something that is a substitute for raw
milk One Of their strongest cards is TO
play on the feelings Of parents who have
infants or small children by referring
TO the large death rate of infants. Some
Of the concerns are so powerful and far
reaching that they maintain a press
bureau, and send out their inhaming and
sensational news articles throughout the
world. They are Ia many newspapers
and magazines throughout the land They
have also their agents, both men and
women, in some of the departments Of
the government; and in many instances
they are in possession of advanced sta
tistics. But how much data is being fur
nIshed by government employees. and 10
what extent the scientific research is be-
ing Influenced will never be known; or to
what extent private interests are being
aided and assisted BY official influence.
To illustrate:
The Man with the Pasteurizer.
II has been made evident that some
Of the men who have signed their names
TO some Of the sensational articles
against raw milk, and suggested that the
only safe and sure way TO save the
human race is to pasteurize all milk, are
directly or indirectly interested in the
manufacture or sale of some valuable %
pasteurizer. BY some means they gain
the confidence and support Of the health
Office TO such an extent that the health
officer Tushes into the press espCusing
the merits Of municipal pasteuTizat,on
so strongly that a well-knOwn real estate
man was so positive that he had the
only piece OF land that would be abso-

The investigation that is nov on in the
