GOATS MILK FOR MEBR1ATES
Suggested as Remedy by Woman
Doctor of Boston.

BOSTON, October 30.-Goats' milk is the
latest remedy for the drink habit. DIR.
Adelaide NJ. Abbott, superintendent of
the department Of health and heredity
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, declares that 1t is specific. and
recommends that the city keep a herd
of goats in Franklin Park, and distribute
the milk once or twice day to IN
ebriates throughout the city.
IF an abundant supply of pure goats
milk could be provided at the cost Of
distribution by the city or state it
would be a great aid toward the sup
preston of intemperance, pauperism,
and all evils growing out of alcoholism
and improper nourishment,' says DR..
Abbott. II believe this is the solution
of the greatest economical and socio-
logical problem which confronts the
country today"
