DR.. WILEY FAVORS A
MISTRESSES' UNION

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1S.-The
formation of a union of mistresses of
households was advocated at the
international congress of mothers by
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley of the depart
ment of agriculture as a means to
bring about a better conformity to the
pure food law than any vigilance on
the part of executors of the law could
be able to accomplish.
My plea, therefore, is" he said, Sin
order to secure pure food in the house.
hold, that this and similar organiza-
tionS unite to compel the manufacture
ers and dealers in foodstuffs to stop
all authorizations, to stop all misbrand-
ing. to stop all coloring, all deception,
and furnish the pure, unadulterateo
and palatable article"
DIR. Wiley emphasized the Importance
of the mothers of the country being
eternally vigilant as to the source of
homes; to see that they are fresh, un-
contaminated, palatable and whole
some. The effect of such action on the
part of the mothers, he said, would
be most salutary.
''If every mistress of a household in
this country should demand pure
foods" he declared, "there would be
little difficulty in the courts. and man
ufacturers would soon cease making
things which the mothers of this coun-
try would refuse to buy for use in their
families"
He added th-.t there should be a cry
against the mixing of certain sub
stances with foods to make them pal
atable, and called attention to the great
Importance OF purity in such articles
as butter, maple syrup, honey and,
particularly, of all dairy supplies. "Es-
pecially where there are children in the
house." said he, 1.-The Importance OF the
purity of the milk cannot be sufficient
ly accentuated. The actual danger to
health and actual threat of death in
thet case of infants that are fed i'm
pure milk is one of the greatest curses
of the country"
IF you would make your child a
strong, useful citizen, feed him right, -
said Miss Alice Lakey, chairman of
the food committee of the National
Consumers league, in speaking on
''What the Consumer Can Do for Pure
Food" She devoted the greater part
of her address to clean milk and safe
meat and among other points made
these:
"Milk is the child's food to a great
extent for the first three years of his
life. A large proportion of children
are fed entirely on cows milk. Hence
the cows milk must be clean and free
from all disease germs. Most babies
become sick because infected by the
poisons and bacteria of stable manure.
To keep them well they must pc pro
tected from the dirt in milk, even as
they are protected from scarlet fever
or diphtheria.
'Pasteurizing dirty milk is merely
cooking the dirt, not preventing it. The
