cake is baking the cake will be heavy.
Loaf cake should bake as long again
as thin cake. Divide the time of bak-

DANGER OF TUBERCULOSIS
INFECTION THROUGH BUTTER.

The possibility of the transmission
of tuberculosis by milk is now well
known. The equal danger of tuber-
culosis being carried by butter is only
beginning to be realized. Yet cream
contains tubercle bacilli in even larger
quantities than milk. 1t is difficult to
state the percentage of contamination,
but it probably averages about IL per
cent. The germs of tuberculosis can
live in the butter, in spite of the salt
which it contains, and the cold tenn
perature in which it is stored, for a
period of about three months; in fact,
in some cases the germs have been
found to increase even in butter con-
tanning from to 3 per cent of salt and
stored at temperature of zero cent?
grade. DR.. Alfred F. Hess of New
York in a recent number of the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton calls attention to this danger and
says that the public should be warned
against impure butter as well as
against impure milk. AS a remedy, he
proposes the manufacture of a certi-
fled grade of butter, to be made under
the same conditions as certified milk.
The demand for such butter could
never be general, as the price would
be prohibitive to many, but there are
probably many who, if aware of the
danger of ordinary butter, would will
ingly pay the additional price for a
safe product for their children. Certi-
fled butter would be, primarily, for
children, just as certified milk is, pri-
marily, for infants, children and in
valids. On the other hand, pasteurized
butter-that is, butter made of pas
teurized milk-costs but little more
than ordinary butter, and does not
differ from it in taste, color or appear
ance. In Denmark, for instance, pas
teurized butter is the staple. 1t is also
made and sold in many European
countries. A pasteurized butter will be
put on the market of New York in the
near future, at a cost of cents per
pound more than raw butter. This in
crease is permissible under the cir
cumstances, but it will probably not
be necessary when the demand for
such butter has been established.
