COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of sanatoria and Hospitals
for consumptives Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth Of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued By
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. The first tu-
berculosis directory published in 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptiVes in the United States, for
some of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity Of these institutions was only
5000 beds. Thirty-two special dis
pensaries and thirty-nine anti-tubercu-
losis organizations summed up prac-
tically all Of the lighting force emu
merated in the first directory. The
second directory was prepared by the
National Association for the study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis and pub
nshed under the auspices of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation in August, 1908.
This directory listed 240 sanatoria and
hospitals, an increase Of 107 from the
former directory; 158 dispensaries, an
increase of 126; and 1876 associations,
an increase of 156 The number Of
hospital beds listed in 1908 was 14,O14.
The new directory that will be is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with a bed capacity Of
nearly 25,0O0; more than 300 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
45O anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number Of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
would like to. get in touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis, in order that they may
be listed in the new directory.

Cleanliness AS Applied to the Dairy

where the temperature is favorab BILE.
Milk is the ideal medium for the
growth of these germs and on this ac-
count it is difficult problem to con-
troll them. 1t is through milk that
many of the contagious diseases are
spread. such as typhoid, diphtheria,
scarlet-fever, smallpox, tuberculosis
and also toxic poisoning. In some
cases the disease may come direct from
the COW, as for instance in the case
of tuberculosis where the milk from a
tubercular COW had been used and the
consumer, not being in condition to
ward off the attack, had contracted
the disease. 1t is not always true
that the. tubercuIar germs are
found in the milk of tubercular cows,
except where it is generalized. but
since the cows udder is very suitable
place for the germ to develop, it il
almost certain that disease will be
found there before it becomes general
|
means of the utensils, as for example
| when dairyman delivers milk to {
customer who has the disease in biz
home. The bottle, when returned
from such place, would probably
contain the germ and if 1t was no
thoroughly sterilized it would innocu
late the milk that was put into it anC
thus carried to another family and 81
on. In some cases the mixer may
have tie disease in his household OF
he may have the germ on his person
and during the milking process the,
would be sure to fall into the mill
and be distributed to nearly every
customer on the route.
We also have a great number O.
bacteria present that do not cause any
disease, but simply sour the milk anC
thereby making it unfit for certain
purposes. These are found everywhere
in the stable yards and dust, and wher
they get into the milk they grow very
rapid.
How are we to exclude these bacteris
from the milk? Where the cows
udder is infected the only solution is
TO discard the milk from that partic
ular COW. 1t is we'll to throw it away
and not even feed it to hogs or calves
While authorities differ as to the
probability of tuberculosis Of the COW
being trap shifted to man it is always
best to play safe and reject all mill
from tubercular animals. The best
way OF eliminating the spl eading OF
disease through the utensils, is tt

ing. In the case of the dairyman
delivering milk in the cities, he should
in the first place insist on having the
bottles washed before they are return

wash then, as when the milk is allow
ed to dry on. He should not under
any consideration put milk for de-
livery, into bottle that had not been

1t very difficult to realize the i'm
portance of keeping all parts of the
dairy perfectly clean until we have
some knowledge of the little organisms
which cause all decay and the break
ing down of organic matter. They
are spoken of as baccilli, cocci and
bacteria, but for the purpose of this
treatise let us consider all under the
name bacteria.
There are many different shapes
and sizes of these organisms, some
are long and slender, some round and
some cylindrical. They are so very
small that they can be seen only with
the aid of a powerful microscope
and in a single drop Of milk there
may be as many as one hundred mill
ion. They are present wherever
there is any dirt Of filth; the dust of
the air is full of them; they ale more
or less numerous in running water,
while stagnant water is generally
alive with them.
Different kinds of germs require
different mediums for their best
growth, but the majority of them
thrive we'll IN any dead organic matter

signs OF dust removed before the milk
pail is brought into the barn. 1t
would be improbable for the average
dairyman to take such precautions,
since 1T would demand a very tigh
price for his product to cover the ex-
pense. He should however take few
simple precautions and reduce the
number of germs in the milk to

with boiling water.
In buying tinware it is very i'm
portant that the dairyman selects
that which has the fewest crevices
and corners. See that the seams are
w ell filled with solder SO as to allow
no place for the bacteria to lodge.
Frequently we find milk pals con-
stracted with lap seam with holes
in the solder here and there where
the milk could seep through; when
that pail is washed. there would
probably be no visible dirt there but
there would be many millions OF
germs under the solder. Under such
conditions, even steaming will not
destroy them. Perfectly smooth tin
ware free from rust is what is desired
and none other should be used.
Briefly the following rules should
be followed in regard to cleaning
utensils: Wash as soon after using
as is possible so that the milk will
not dry on. Do not use boiling water
for first washing. Have it just hot
enough so that you can bear your
hand in it. Use some good washing
rowder or cleaner but avoid soap or
soapy powders since they may leave
an undesirable taste in the milk.
Never use a rag for any purpose In
the dairy. A good brush with SUN
bristles is the best to use for cleaning.
1t aids you in getting into the corners
which would otherwise not be cleaned.
Rinse in clean, hot water then either
expose to live steam for few minutes
or leave in boiling water for ~ MIN
utes. Shake off the drops OF water
that adhere and the utensils will dry
Of their own accord. Never touch
them with cloth after they are sterll-
lied. The cloth may be clean at the
start but will soon have millions III
germs on it and if used will put the
germs back on the tlnware. When 1t
is not in use the tinware should ne
exposed to direct sunlight If possible.
Germs cannot live IN presence OF sun
light.
Since the stable is very convenient
place for these germs to get into the
milk, let us take a few precautions
there. 1t has been pointed out that
dust is a carrier of germs either harm
full or otherwise. Is it not important
then that the stable air is as free as
POSSIBLE from dust during milking
time? In some places where the best
sanitary milk is produced the COWS
are washed, the floor flushed and FALL

rumors reaching it that former Presi-

steamer Venus withdrawn from Mic

This would be, the first admission
from zelaya, if the rumors proved
true, that he had any control over the
armed vessel which has been plying
on the eastern coast of Nicaragua.
The conditions which the rumor
said Zelaya had imposed were that
protection be given to his personal
estate in Nicaragua, which is reported
to be very large, and that he be recon-
pensed $4,000, the first payment made
on the Emery claims owned by Amer
