And, lucid I'm that second birth,

THE MILK QUESTION
OF Vital Interest to the
Community.
OPINION OF EXPERTS
Pasteurization "a Dangerous
Makeshift.
So Says McClure's Magazine


There is today eminent authority in the
medical world who believes that pasteuixed
milk Is as good pure raw milk. Pasteuriza-
ton Is defended as . makeshift, q method OF
destroying disease-bearing germs by boiling
them In the milk. and serving, as it were. sort
or bacillus soup. But even thoroughly boiled
germs are not valuable articles Of nutriment.
Boiled flth-and as soon as you begin to
pasteurize you open wide the door to foul
milk. since the foulness is concealed, not de-
stroyed in the cooking-is not an eminently de-
sirable item Of diet. even when boiled In milk.
Moreover, the bacilli Of putrefaction. which are
fertile cause of diaIrhoeal disorders. fairly
hold revel Of multiplication in pasteurised milk.
whereas in raw milk they are kept under by the
natural bacilli OF the fluid. which fall an early
prey to boiling. Finally, pasteurtzed milk
causes scurvy. ricketts,. anaen1ia and malnutri-
ton in children. The 1890 Sanitary Commits
sion Of Copenhagen, in its experiments with
samples Of milk treated BY this process. found
that as rule. by the time they reached the
consumer. they were Is rich In bacteria as or
greater efficiency for harm. Said very dis
tinguished Danish scientist recently:
:" The dealer who pasteurizes good milk is q
fool. The dealer who pasteurises foul milk Is
knave.'
THE sole excuse for pasteurizing bad milk has
been that it was the lesser Of two evils. Pure
milk from sound cows is a universally attain-
able ideal.''
Cows milk as 1t comes from the cow-the
nearest substitute for mothers milk, and the
only safe food for infants.

Street Crimes in Washinvton.

The Commissioners will doubtless be

Representative ellis resolution, Just in.
PRODUCED in the House. calling on them
Tor certain information relative to the
prevalence Of crime on the streets Of
this city. Indeed, that resolution af-
fords them an excellent opportunity to
call to the attention Of Congress the
fact that the streets Of Washington
are insufiiciently patrolled to safeguard
life and property.
1t has been in some quarters an
parently believed that because Of a
somewhat unusual prevalence of petty
street crimes in Washington during
the last year or two the National cari-
tai has been dangerously infested with
thieves and thugs to the point Of rem
dering the use of the streets extremely
dangerous. AS matter Of fact, Wash
ington has not been exceptional in the
matter of street thefts. Last winter
practically every city in the United
States was the scene OF considerable
activity on the part of footpads and
purse snatchers. Great numbers OF
men were out of work, and a certain
proportion Of them resorted to crime
as last resource. Washington merely
shared in the common experience In
no case, however, was there any crime
OF real gravity. The assaults on the

these assaults were only incidental to

Mr. GIL wants to know the number
of burglaries or attempted burglaries
committed in the District and reported
to the police within two years; the
number of assaults on the public high
ways or in the parks within the same
period; the number of policemen on
duty in the District. together with the
number of men detailed for other than
patrol work. and finally statement of
the proportion which the number OF
patrolmen bears to the total number
Of residents, an estimate Of the average
size OF the transient population and
how the city compares with others in
the size of its police force.
On all these points the Commission
ers are doubtless prepared to submit a
reply in full terms without delay.
They have for years been urg-
ing Congress to appropriate larger
force and have been protesting against
the necessity of detailing policemen on
special duty and thus diminishing the
available patrol force. While there has
been no wave of crime in the Dis
tTiCt, as some people seem " tuIHh, ~
Is none the less desirable that the
streets should be SO we'll patrolled by
day and night that the snatching OF
pocketbooks and the commission OF
other offenses against the person should
be rendered much less frequent than at
present. If there is an undue preva-
lence of this sort of crime in Wash
ington 1t is chiefly because Congress
has neglected to provide adequately
for the patrolling of the streets.

among them must be the company Of
