NEEDS MONEY FOR MILK.
Committee MuSt Close T7cO Stations
Unless Help Comes.

The New York MIX Committee. which has been
maintaining seven stations in this city for the free
distribution OF milk the benefit of infants whose
mothers cannot stay at home TO nurse them will
probably be obliged to close two of the depots on
October'l unless more funds be obtained. The
committee obtained temporary relief for the cor
tinuance Of the Cannon and Henry street stations
last week The organization however. has many
other troubles.
one of these difficulties is that caused by the
necessity of both preparing the milk and disribut
ing it. The committee believes that the milk should
be prepared by business enterprise. and that the
work of distribution should also be placed in other
hands Its members declare that they have all they
can do 10 raise the money needed to pay for the
milk and give personal attention the educational
and relief work They organizing the Model
Milk Company a commercial enterprise, the
stock subscribed by members of the committee and
others. And the purpose of which will be largely ~
provide the needed sort of milk at low prices and
equipment for increasing the number Of infants
milk depots.
Wilbur c. Phillips. secretary OF the Milk Com
mittee said yesterday in speaking of the obstacles
which impede its work:
''Since June l, 1878 the committee has been oper-
ating infants milk stations from which milk
modified TO suit the individual needs of infants has
! been dispensed. The work Of preparing handling
and distributing this milk has grown such pro-
portions that the committee finds itself swamped
with work and unable TO give any time 10 raising
money for the free milk and attending otherwise
! its relief and educational work
one might well expect the Charity Organiza-
ton to operate mines and build railroads in order
supply fuel for the relief the poor think
that the committee devote its entire time 10 a
/ problem which belongs 10 the field Of business
than philanthropy Next year it will he necessary.
10 raise than $4,000 for free milk and nstruc-
tion alone In order to do this the committee must
be relieved of the distribution work. To accom-
plish this object the committee IS organizing the
Model MIX Company capitalized at $500

placarded good half of the billboard space there
with the announcement that Cassidy was the man
who obtained the establishment of the city trolley
line across the bridge.
When Gresser's men saw the posters they acted
quickly and when the crowds began TO travel
across the new line about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, they saw beside the Cassidy posters others
equally flaring, with the announcement: "Gresser

Considering the fact that no cotton

we are naturally much interested in
President Taft's remarks on the wool
tariff.
We are with him heartily when he
says that the wool tariff ought to have
been revised, though it affects us and
our product much less than most of
our friends in our industry.
For under the present tariff the
cheapest grades of wool now pay the
heaviest tax, and the wearers of cheap
clothing would benefit most by fair
revision.
But since we are doing business to-
day with tomorrow and the years to
come in mind, we want to give our
customers the greatest value possible.
We believe we are now giving the
greatest value possible under present
conditions, being both manufacturers
and retailers, vet we should like to
give more.
But whatever the tariff, we use
only all wool and fast color fabrics.
