WASHINGTON LETTER

WAJGAkKSA9AOl LIZ AA&
Professor Wiley of food reform
fame says that milk is too cheap.
This seems to voice the refrain Of all
pure food sentiment. The manufacture
ers are all agreed that # people don, t
want to be poisoned with adulterants
and dirt they must pay a higher
price and that cleanliness and purity
are separate and taxable ingredients
of all pure food preparations It IS
not true that eight or ten cents
quart is a price so low that dairymen
cannot afford to furnish pure milk for
that sum but it is true that the mid
die men who handle milk between the
farm and the consumer are requiring
too large a profit on that product. The
price at which milk is wholesaled
from the farm is too low for the es-
tabIishment and maintenance Of SAM
tary dairy conditions but the consumer
pays price for the article that should
guarantee him against the menace OF
impure, dirty or doctored milk. The
same is true of butter and meat. The
fault lies with the various food trusts
that control the price of these
commodities. Milk can be sup
piled to the cities direct from any
reasonably accessible dairy farm at
eight cents a quart and yield salts
factory profit on modern and sani-
tary establishment. The public should
insist on getting this staple food at
that price and let the milk trust re-
gulate it's profits accordingly To in
crease the price of milk is to abstract
from the health of the people and es-
pecially of the children the profits
which go into the pockets of the food
trusts. It is surprising and disappoint-
ing to find a man of Dr. Wiley's
prominence advocating higher prices
for necessary foods and becoming the
voice as it were of the combinations
that conspire to keep up these prices
for their own profit.
There is a curious bill before Con-
gress in that it is alleged to be for
the prevention Of cruelty to animals.
The bill has been drawn by young
candy manufacturer and is introduced
by Congressman Cary of Wisconsin.

WATER MAIN BREAKS
A MILLION GALLONS OF WATER
 GETS AWAY.
City Has Narrow Escaps from Being Denied Entirely of its eupply ef Water, as Plant War
 ThFeafeneA.

One of the 12-inch mains of the city water department brake near the pump house late sunday night. more than- million gallons of water get ting away before the water could bs cut on
 Relieved of the heavy loadrit was carrying when the pipe broke. the big engine in the pump house started to race. and but for the prompt action of Superintendent NcDonoueho of the plant, the place might have been torn to pieces. MT. McDonough shut the en- zine down in time to prevent an acci- dent.
 A force of men were set out to cut off the valves in the water main and in an hour 1t was eliminated from the water supply system and later smended The water from the pipe created . small flood in the iowland back of the pump house. and several negroes were scared. thinking the river was sudden ly rising again; they even moved some of their property from their houses.
 The pipe was weakened by an ex- cavation near 1t. and the joint between two of the sections of tue cast iron pipe gave way. The rushing water dug the pipe out for several feet. but this enabled the workmen to get to 1t and mend 1t very seasiIy. Eads not the valves connecting the pipes to tiie rest of the water supply system been cut on. the city could have been without water In a few hours.

 CONDITIONS Slaughter House Is h. spected. IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED Slaughter of Fourteen Diseased
 Jersey Cows. css.ciInen Deeply Interested h the I.- spection of Cattle, Which is Cendaetes--wipe Out
 TubercuIosis.
 

The Committee on Sanitation of the
 Montgomery City Council visited the
 union slaughter house yesterday in or- der to make a report on its condition at the next Council meeting.
 Alderman Brassell. chairman of the
 committee. said yesterday that the
 plant Is greatly in need of more mod-
 floors are concerned. He says the old
 wooden door. soaked in water and
 blood, is unsanitary to a degree. and
 that the blood spattered walls should
 be attended to. He will suggest. hs
 says, that the floors of the plant be
 made of stone and the walls metal.
 porcelain enamelled. At the slaughter house yesterday
 were the carcasses Of fourteen Jersey
 cows that had been slaughtered. after an examination for tuberculosis. Some
 of the animals were almost in state of decomposition from the disease.
 Their internal organs were dotted with tuberculous ulcers throughout, some of
 them having tubercuious ulcers in the
 udders Up to week ago milk from
 these cows was being sold in the city. it Is said.
 The inspection of local dairy herds. part of one of which were the four teen cows, was inaugurated year ago by resolution introduced bys Alder man Saul, and the results of the in- spection work. Mir. Brasseil says. has been more than satisfactory. Tn the last inspection, still In progress, con ducted by pr. Taylor, of the City De- pertinent of Bacteriology and Meat and Milk Inspection, many cows have been found effected with the disease and these have been killed and the car- casses done away with.
 pr. Taylor and Alderman Brassell are both deeply interested in this in- spection. and the Alderman will in- troduce. shortly, he says, a measure compelling the inspectoin of cows own
 ed in the city, the milk from which is not sold. Mir Brassell says the dan- ger from infection from these is as great. almost, as from the dairy cows | for if the animals have the disease. it can be conveyed to people and from kthe tubercuious patient. infected from | the COW. to others. z An ordinance win be introduced by Mir. BrasseiI fin the city Council pro- | viding for the inspection of these cows and also creating the office of an fn-
 spector who shall confine his work con- 1 tinually to inspecting cows, the milk from which is used in the city. wheth-
 CT through dairies or by the individual owners.
 Of about 800 cows. SO far inspected
 nearly fifty have been found suffering from tuberculosis and there are some l 200 or 800 animals stiIi to undergo ths Itubercuiine test When the animals are found infected they are at once l taken to the e5aughter pen and are
 killed. the carcasses being converted l into fertilizer.

Seeing in Montgomery splendid site for factory. the .Ohio Steel Wheelbarrow Company" of Toledo is in communication with the Comrnercial Club, relative to their establishing q plant here.
 In letter to President Fred Ball of the Club. Secretary Cone of the manufacturing company states that his company wishes to be associated with some large hardware wh6iesaie or manufacturing industry of the city, and has asked to be placed in touch with the leaders in his department of the local mercantile field.
 The letter also states that the com pany secures most of the wood 1t uses from Alabama, and that is one of their reasons for wishing to come, here, to get closer in touch with the supply of crude material for the con- eern makes wooden wheeibarrows as well as steel.
 Copies of the letter will be sent to the local hardware concerns and the matter discussed further by the club at its next meeting.
