Public PaStGur-
izing Plant Not
Needed
Local Enterprise and Capital Has
Provided adequate Facilities.
A City Plant Not the Best.

The offer of Mr.. Nathan Straus or a
pasteurizing plant TO the District Of Co
lun1bia has caused wide comment here.
This offer is of particular value in d.
recting attention to the fact that there
Is no need of having disease spread BY
dirty or infected milk. Mr.. Strsus has
done humanity a great service IN assist
ing 1t t. obtain better and safer milk.
and the intense public interest in SAINT
tary milk supplies for cities. for which
Mr. Streus is largely responsible, has
resulted in greatly improving local con-
dItions.
II should be generally known. how
ever, that a number of the leading
dairymen Of Washington have recently
installed pasteurizing apparatus. and
that every man, woman, and child IN
Washington can now secure pasteurized
milk
Mr.. Straus, in making his offer. is
undoubtedly unaware Of this new con-
ditiOn, and probably unaware that dur
ing the last few months many OF the
leading business and professional men
OF Washington have associated 70 give
Washington the best milk supply fur
rished any city either In this country
or abroad, and have expended upward
of $4,000 for this purpose.
This movement has resulted in build

is past eurized Immediately after u IS
produced. The most efficient modern
equipment has been installed. and every
sanitary requirement observed.
Milk received in this plant is not only
filtered, aerated with filtered air, pas
teuriZed and cooled Immediately TO 81
degrees Fahrenheit, but il is bottled BY
machinery. in sterliZed bottles. so that
the milk reaches the consumer in alb
sOlutely perfect condition.
There is clearly no need Of a public
pasteurizing plant in Washington, as no
city plant could furnish milk as fresh
and wholesome as the Baltimore and

- He late Richard Watson Glider,

story on himself, which he eldn't often
tell. but which his friends were wont q
tell FOR him.
A younger brother Of the noted liter
airy man became n newspaper worker,
and drifted West He maintained very
little touch with his family in the East
and settled down to a modest career in
Nebraska town, working on a daily
paper. There he developed a whimsical
interest in Indian mounds and relics,
and spent his spare time digging into
mounds. One day he dug up some re-
markable bones, put them together, and
inquired out that he had a prehistoric
mans skeleton.
1t was widely written about within a
limited circle of high-browed scientists,
and Bob" Glider became famous as a
scientist, in the view of about two men
at every university in the world. Out

known. His distinguished brother had
never even heard of his fame.

Second Meeting
To Name a Leader.

A good story is told about the meet
ing Of the caucus Of Senate Democrats
the other day TO select a successor to
Senator Culberson as chairman Of the
caucus and minority leader. 1t was the
second meeting for that purpose. When
all had assembled in the minority room
there was silence. All sat around and
looked at each other il was like a
Quaker meeting or a circle OF Indians
gathered round the council fire.
Minute after minute passed. Nobody
spoke The silence became embarrdSs-
ing Then il got painful. Finally, Sen
ator Daniel, Of Virginia, arose and NOM
mated Senator Money and he was unan-
imOusly chosen.
1t appears that every Senator in the
caucus had been waiting for the light
ming to strike himself.
"Uncle Ike" Stephenson. of Wiscon-
sin, Is a great hand TO go visitin'
, around the Senate. Senator Stephenson
does not like TO stay in his seat any
more of the time than need be. Often
when the session is I'm progress, he goes
over to the vicinity of one OF his
neighbor Senators. and whispers in his
ear burning thoughts about what hap
pened back IN 90. Some Of the states
men like Il and others are disposed to
have urgent business when Senator Ste
phenson heaves H. sight.
