guidance of your most excellent health
officer, DIR. Woodward. whose praise
cannot sound too loudly tonight because

Mr.. Johnston's Tribute.

Commissioner Johnston was introduced
by Senator Gallinger and declared that
1t was pleasure for him to give indorse-
ment to the work which Mr.. Straus has
had inaugurated here ITO begin with. the
Commissioner said, cit has been well said
that a babe in the house is a wellspring
of pleasure and children are, indeed. the
greatest problem of life for solution as to
healthful. moral, mental, physical manhood
and womanhood. Children, we also know.
are the greatest asset of the home, of
the community, of the state and OF the
nation. and we also know that of such
is the kingdom OF heaven
Indeed. our hope Of heaven, at least
on the part of those who may have suf-
fered that unspeakable loss, perhaps is
well founded on the longing that We eX-
perience at times for the touch of
hand that is gone and of the sound of
voice that is stilled. We who have
experienced that loss perhaps are best
able to appreciate the beneficence of this
mans divine philanthropy. I am told he
is i'll unto death in a foreign land. l
bespeak your prayers for his speedy re-
covery, that he may be permitted to
bring to it's full perfection this great
ambition of his declining years"

mothers milk. While he stands ready
to give a safe pasteurized, modified
milk in cases where milk of that kind
is needed. he does not stand ready to
mothers milk and you will find in his
various depotS that he has laid great
stress on the Importance of breast
feeding as a method for the preven-
ton of infant mortality.
And there is another fact that can
not be lost sight of; we cannot imagine
that pasteurized milk is going to take
care of itself. One trouble with infant
food. one trouble with the use of any
form Of artificial food for the care Of
infants is this: That the mother or
nurse does not realize her responsible
ity for the care Of the food after 1T
enters the home. and so. while
Mr.. Straus has undertaken at
on those who patronize them the i'm
portance of breast-feeding. he has at the
same time undertaken in those cases
where breast feeding has been impossible
pastuerized milk must be properly taken
care of in the home. Those two lines OF
education, for which he is responsible, l
believe. will do practically as much as
the pasteurization of milk to lower the
infant mortality, so that while we may
associate his name, and many do, with the
pasteurization of milk, we must recognize
also the fact that he has assumed the
role of great educator in his endeavor
to maintain, as you have been told, not
only throughout this country. but
throughout the world, a propaganda in
favor. first, of infant feeding; second, of
breast feeding; third. in favor of the
proper care of any infant food by the
mother or by the nurse. The pasteuriza-
ton Of milk is one factor in the work
that he has undertaken"
Health Is Improving.
Surgeon General Wyman Of the public
health and marine hospital service COM
mended the work as did DIR. J. H. NJ.
Knox Of New York, president Of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Infant Nor
tally. DR.. A. r. Green of New York,
who is medical director of the Nathan
Straus work, spoke of the early efforts
of Mr.. Straus on the East Side in New
York, where he first founded his milk
stations. He declared that the work is
dear to the founders heart. He then re-
ferred to Mr.. Straus' illness. saying:
II am glad to say that Mr. Straus is
getting better. / have heard today that
he is improving in health. and 1 know
that If he could hear a small part of the
good things said about him tonight he
would be almost we'll, and l can see
kindness. beam from his face. and I
know exactly what he would say to me.
He would say: Doc, where can We
open up another depot?'"
Later number of those in attendance
were shown over the laboratory by Miss
Hurn, the superintendent.

Pure Water for Capital.

"A few years ago we undertook to
give the people Of the city of Washing
ton pure water. You remember We had
water that was once characterized by
Senator ingalls, in a speech in the Sem
ate as being q little too thick for Gu
linary purposes and a little too thin for
agricultural purposes. BY legislation We
have given the citizens of this city as
good water / think. there Is I'm all

tration of the water that resulted. re-
moving from it the germs of disease OF
death. 1 apprehend that the health OF
this community has been very greatly
improved thereby.
But I have long believed. having
some little knowledge Of the health and
life of medicine, that the real source
and the real cause of disease, like ty-
phOfd fever and other allied ailments.
was due more largely to impure milk
than all the other causes combined. and
have long felt that we ought not to
stop at any effort in the line of leglsla-
ton or education that was calculated to
inform the people of this city and OF
the country of that great fact.
Beginning of Revolution.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I
have just stepped into that beautiful
laboratory. a few feet from this audi
ence room; I have seen this magnificent
plant that is there established. and I
predict that we are going to see revo-
luton in the city Of Washington. as far
as the sickness and death rate of chill
dren of this city is concerned, if you
give the support to that establishment
it deserves.
Il hope the time will come, I trust 1t
Is not far distant, when other plants
in other sections of the city will be estab-
lished. whether it may be through the
beneficence and generosity Of Mr.. Straus
or some other philanthropist, or whether
and purse strings of some Of the rich men
of Washington will be loosened and that
they will do something in that direction.
or whether it be by appropriation from
the Congress of the United States.
through the revenues of the government
of the District Of Columbia, of sufficient
amount of money to enlarge and null
tipiy these places where pure milk may
be obtained.
II do not know how 1t will be accom-
piished. but I believe the lesson that is
being taught in yonder building will so
interest the people of this city that they
will demand that this great and good
work be extended to all sections of the
city OF Washington. The results will be
such as will gladden. the hearts Of every
one who loves his fellow-man.

Pasteurized Milk Best.

Il do not know Of any reason why we
should not pasteurize milk" said DR..
Woodward in opening. People some
times ask me about the water supply Of
the District of Columbia, and the best
answer ! can make to them. think. is
that take the water as 1t comes from
the tap, and drink it as 1t comes from
the tap. and my family does the same.
And when they ask me about pasteur-
lied milk i tell them that l take pas
teuriZed milk myself and see that my
children also take 1t. And you can see
from that fact that 1 am not afraid Of
pasteurized milk-in fact. 1t Is the only
safe milk. and l personally believe 1T is
much safer than certihed milk, be-
cause it protects one against troubles
that no methods Of inspection can pro-
tect against.
'Now, to no one SO much as to Mr..
Straus is due the credit for the exploit
tatiOn of the value of pasteurlzatlon
as means of preventing infant mortal
ity. and i believe that his name in con-
nectiOn with the pasteurfZattcn and the
prevention OF infant mortality will go
down to time indeed as much In con-
nection with the prevention or that
John d. Rockefeller with the prevention
Of the hookworm. l believe that one
work is quite as important as the
other. And, in fact, anything we may
do for the prevention or infant NOR
tality by reason of the wider field In
which it can operate Is even more i'm
portant than the prevention or diseases
due to hookwOrm infection.
Mr.. Stratus an Educator.
Zone fact, however. has not been
mentioned, l think, with sufficient
stress, and that is the work of DR.
Straus and his various milk depots
that no one more than Mr.. Straus
seems to recognize the fact that no
form OF artificial food is as good as
