PLANS TO EDUCATE

Health Officer Kiefer Undertakes
Vigorous Campaign on Handling

mer Mortality Among Babies.
City Pasteurization With Proper
After-Care Is the Goal Aimed at
Circulars of Warning Issued.

Health Oficer Guy l.. Kiefer has
undertaken vigorous campaign OF
public education In regard TO the
handling OF milk, which is designed
TO decrease the fatality usual in sum

Ing toward this end for some time

IL reaches the consumer No matter
how good the milk is. 1t must be
handled properly by the families TO be
kept from contamination, and that is
the education we are trying TO spread
now. We have spread circulars
through the agency OF the milk deal
ers and are now sending them out by
our nurses.
AT the present time, there is no
possibility OF city pasteurization of all
milk brought in. That may come la
ter. Pasteurization alone is not
enough; after-care Is essential. In
pasteurization. not only the harmful
or pathogenic bacteria are destroyed
but also the non-pathogenic. SO that
pasteurized milk Is more susceptible
