your wisdom and foresightedness in the
way you realize that this movement for

really mean stronger national cohesion;
for the old South OF yesterday Is being

Every good American must hope TO

solid business prosperity In the South,
Tor all good Americans now realize that
the prosperity of any part of the country

the prosperity OF the whole will grow

foundations only when We effectively
realize that the words South north

FIND PASTEURIZED MILK
is NOT AT ALL PURE

NEW YORK.-In the interest of hu-
manity very charitable crusade is now
being waged here by the New York
Herald against the sale of pasteurized
milk served at penny glass booths
throughout the public parks. The board
of health incidentally has awakened to
the situation and advises that all pas
teurized milk sold in large cans in bulk
be boiled before it is used as food for
children. Expert psychologists have
Investigated conditions and report that
bacteria in excessive numbers, some of
which are of an Objectionable nature,
have been found in the pasteurized milk
served at these booths, where condi,
tlons not conforming to hygiene are de-
clared to exist,
Mr.. Nathan Straus has the right to
distribute this milk Temporary booths
are erected, and as a matter of fact
the city in measure is n partner in the
enterprise. The investigator found that
thousands drink at these stands from
glasses rinsed only under cold water
taps. What water is deemed necessary
for washing is furni shed by the city
free Of charge. 1t was also found that
shallow sinks were used in the rinsing,
The experts fonnd twenty varieties
of abnormal organisms, in samples taken
from the booths, and they further de-
clare that pasteurlzed milk when re-
infected becomes a more fertile culture

MIIhouseu had half-do3en charges OF
burglary against him when he was SEN
fenced by Judge Lewis OF the district
court to serve 20 years in the state prison
in January last. He stole horses, hay,
harness. groceries and provisions. and a

late to constructive work In the future.
The South must do It's full share in real
izing IT. and from now on II must par
ucipate in full In the solution OF all ma
uonal problems.
The statue Of General Lee in Con-
federate uniform stands in the halls OF

ored no more by the South than it Is by
the North. and in the North, as in the
South. I think we are now learning TO
apply absolutely in good faith the great
words OF Grant: Let us have peace
firmly believe the time has now come
when the South's Influence will again be
felt. not only in constructive statesman
ship. but In the enormous field OF con-
Structive business endcavor.
NO part of our country has seen such
progress as the South has made in the
last twenty years along smaterial lines.
and / believe the next twenty years Will
Will Rank With West.
From now on think the South will
share with the West In rapidity OF
growth This leadership will be hast
ened by the completion OF the Panama
canal; the East has the Atlantic and
more than the East, and the West will
have the Panama canal and will, there
fore, stand at the distributing point Of
all the great oceans Of the world:
You need more people: but like the
pie that should be OF the right sort.
Feeling this way, ] naturally sympa-
thize most cordially with every purpose
of the southern commercial congress in
its efforts to make the South know 1t
self; and TO make both the South and
the nation realize that greater nation
will be developed from the development
of a greater South.
In your membership no political lines
are dra wn, your effort is to strive FOR
the advancement OF American citizenship.
and all broad minded men throughout the
nation must heartily sympathlZe with
you In what you are doing both to de-
velop and increase the power Of the
South and at the same time to arouse
therein a keener national sense,
with hearty good wishes. faithfully
