TRIP INTO COUNTRY
Spend Day at Frederick and
Inspect System of Pre-
pairing Milk.

Many Washington physicians and
their families think today they know all
about how TO run a dairy. after the trip
they made yesterday to Frederick, Nd.
where they inspected the plant Of the
Baltimore and Washington White Cross
Mix Company.
The company officials acted as hosts
on the outing. With everything In its
plant open to inspection. the president
and directors Of the company sent invi-
tauons to 600 Washington physicians and
their families TO be their guests for yes
terday and inspect the methods en-
ployed in preparing milk for their Gus
toners.
E. L. CoclreH, the cOmpany's presi-
dent, met the party at the Union Sta
ton and conducted them, by a special
train on The Baltimore and Ohio, TO the
establishment at Frederick.
Personally Conducted Tour.
Mr.. Cockrell and David Lowenstein.
one Of the directors, personally con-
Quoted a tour of the entire plant and
thoroughly explained and demonstrated
the workings Of the system from the
time the milk is received from the
farmer until it is packed in refrigerator
cars to be shipped 10 the city.
The White Cross Company believes il
has solved the problem of pure milk
The system employed is. first having
the cans in which the milk is brought
in from the. surrounding farms, thor
oughly cleaned and steriIized at she
plant by the use Of live steam before
they are returned to the farmers. The
-
warmed 70 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
blast Of filtered air is then driven
through II at a great VelOclt- for about
three hours Thus the impurities are
removed, the bacteria destroyed, and
the greater part of the water carried
Of by evaporation. When the milk is
reduced to One-fOuTlh its original vol
ume it is chilled to about IS degrees,
bottled by specially constructed ma
Chinery in steriliZed bottles, ana is then
ready for delivery.
Sold In Concentrated Form.
In this concentrated form it may be
kept for several days without danger
Of souring; for ordinary use one has
only TO add the necessary amount Of
sterilized water, and a milk much purer
than when first taken from the cow
is the result
After the doctors had passed Judgment
on the methods employed by the White
Cross people in their night against bac-
terra and commended the officers on
the conditions in the plant, an adjourn
ment was taken 10 the New City Hotel,
where luncheon was served. Here
White Cross milk was served in four
ways, as ordinary sweet milk, as butter
milk, as Ice cream. and, Dy no means
least, as milk punch.
