ance that the public health service
with the cooperation of the Agri-
cultural Department, make this eX
pertinent into the relative values OF
raw and pasteurized milk. Some
very able physicians still hold ten
aCiously to the theory that raw milk
Is the more nutritious, and thai
pasteurized milk is sometimes produc-
studied the latter a long time, are
assured that such is not the case,
but for the benefit of the world in
general the Government investigation
will settle this beyond dispute. The
offer by Mr.. Straus is unconditional
and the Government will not have
to take up the lease on the building
where the plant Is. The apparatus
can be moved away.
Cost Will Not Be Great.
The cost of the experiments will
not be great. The record of cases
treated with pasteurized milk in the

country will be available for the
investigators.

Tobacco Trust Starts
Reorganization Plan

NEW YORK, July 2s.-Highly pleased
over the discovery that two, at least,
Of the judges Of the United States cir
cult court favor the application of the
''ruie Of reason" the officials OF the To-
bacco trust and the big bankers who
represent the bondholders got busy with
the reorganization plan today.
The financial interests, who want to
continue the Tobacco trust on lines as
close as possible to those low used, but
still within the law, wondered just how
far they could go.
They are satisfied since yesterdays
decision, and it is likely that when the
reorganization plan is announced soon
1t will provide for competition" that
will not particularly curtaiI the earning
powers Of the component parts of the
trust.

CHARITY
AIDS SCIENCE PLAN
Now That His Milk Plants Supply Poor Straus Labora
tory Will Be Used For Experiments - Given
Outright To Government.

Because the charity established by
George NJ. Oyster In the form Of milk
pasteurizing plants takes care of the
babies of the poor in Washington, the
Nathan Straus plant on H and
Thirteenth streets is TO be devoted to
experimental purposes. The apparatus
will be turned over to the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, and used
in a special field of experiment. Mr..
Straus has made an unconditional gift
of the laboratory plant to the Govern
ment.
Need for the Straus plant as manu-
featuring and distributing center Of
pasteurized milk ceased when Mr.. Oys-
ter came to the rescue of the situation
and established the five plants now in
existence. A sixth is soon to be add
ed by him, and the addition Of this one
will make Washington, according to DIR.
Lloyd Magruder, the best equipped city
in the United States for taking care of
the babies of the very poor.
For Purpose of Experiments.
Mr. Straus' new offer is for the pur-
pose of having experiments made as to
the value of raw and pasteurized milk.
Previously, Mr.. Straus offer was
conditional upon appropriation by the
Government of a sufficient sum to
conduct the pasteurizing plant, as
such, with its object the distribution
of milk to poor children. A bill was
introduced in Congress for this pur-
pose and while 1t passed the Senate
May l6. it met obstruction in the
House and has never emerged from
the District Committee.
1t is now proposed by DR.. G. Lloyd
Magruder, f. Berliner. and others in
terested. that the bill be so amended
that the plant be conducted for the
experimental purpose onIy. Such
bill is much more likely to meet
popular favor.
"There is no need of conducting the
Straus plant as a manufacturing and
distributing center for pasteurtZed
milk" said Dr. Magruder. Such work
is we'll taken care of now by the
George NJ. Oyster plants, which are so
conducted as to be one of the most
beautiful charities in the country.
