Defends Commissioners.

| DIR. Woodward defended the attitude "
the Commissioners, saying that no blame

proceeded as far as they may under ex'
listing law. At the bottom Of the whole

Several reforms in the matter OF con

advocated by DR.. Jones. He began py
saying that crusade against tupercu.

require the expenditure of large sums
of money. 1t is a fight In which every
citizen has an interest, he declared, anc
in which every citizen should snare

Results of Fight.
Concluding his address, DIR. Jones called
attention to the following facts. which. he
sad. stand out as the most conspicuous
results of the fight which had been waged
agains tuberculosis:
THAT the fight against tuberculosis is
very different from the fight against
SMALLPOX. cholera or yellow fever.
..That the difference has required years
OF work Of education
THAT the work OF education has devei-
oped many different factors IN the fight.

power. supervision and control of the mu-
nicipality. :,

fight.
hat 1t is evident that a successful
fight is only possible when large sums OF
money are expended.
"While 1t is perfectly clear to me that
the work can be best done by properly
equipped health department, yet it is
equally clear that OF an the work
taken by a health department none re-
auires to as great a degree the continu-
ance of the hearty cooperation of the
citizens who have finally brought the
fight up to the officials OF the municipal

Think Peach Crop Ruined.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, January 49,
Fears are expressed here that the cold
snap of the past week has ruined the
greater part OF this years peach crop i'm
the east. In many localities where there
are large orchards the thermometer reg
istered 20 to D degrees below zero. Grow
ers state that the trees can stand 10 de-
grees below without difhcuity, but any
temperature lower than that generally
means serious injury to the crop. Several
growers look for only about ) to 10 per
cent of the normal crop.

Their Aid Needed in Milk Pas
teurization Fight.
so SAYS EMILE BERLINER
Wants Medical Societies to Start
Vigorous Campaign.
MONDAY EVENING CLUB TOPIC
DR.. Woodward Declares Education
Is Main Factor in the War
on tuberculosis.
MONDAY EVENING CLUB TOPIC

Pointing to unsuccessful attempts that
ers require the pasteurization of all milk
sold in public or sem-pubiic places in
the District, Emile Berliner, in an ad-
dress last night before the Monday Even
ing Club, declared that the key TO mu-
nicipal responsibility in WASHINGTON
respecting the control and prevention
of tuberculosis lies in the fact that
the Commissioners entirely waive such
responsibility, looking toward the
ultra -conservatism of the medical pro-
fession to remedy the situation.
The only relief in sight, asserted Mr..
Berliner, is for medical societies
throughout the country to institute
vigorous campaign designed to bring
about the pasteurization of all milk
and cream sold Until this is done, lie
said, it will be impossible to throw the
responsibility of milk born disease on
the shoulders of the municipality.
Mr.. Berliner. who is vice president of
the Association for the Prevention of
Tuberculosis, and DIR. G. Hampson
Jones. assistant health commissioner
of Baltimore, Nd, addressed the club
on the subjects. respectively, of What
Constitutes Municipal Responsibility
and The Municipalities Responsibility
for the Control and Prevention Of
Tuberculosis" Several other speakers,
including Health Officer William c.
Woodward of the Dic,rict and DR.. G.
Lloyd Magruder. participated in the
genaall discussion which followed. The
meeting was held at the Y. NJ. c. A.
building

Views of DR.. Magruder.

DR.. Magruder declared that Washington
may well he proud of the results of the
efforts for the control and prevention of
tuberculosis, but criticised Congress for
it's failure to follow up the results al
ready obtained.
1T has been, demonstrated by the in
yestisatcrs in the government labora-
tories here and many other investigators
else where" said DIR. Magruder. that the
heating of milk to 40 +. Tor 0snts
minutes in no way impairs the nutritive
properties OF the mix and that by this
process all danger from the tubercle ba-
cillus and other pathosenetic bacteria is
eliminated BY depriving the District
authorities of this alternative in regard
to milk, the only other means OF pro-
tecting against tuberculosis, namely, the
killing of the infected cattle, has had to
be enforced.
.This has resulted in the killing of 366
cows in the District of Columbia and 800
in the states of Maryland and virginia:
which have been tested up to the present
time. Had the authority been given for
the pasteurization Of milk, every one OF

Says Congress Is Deaf.

DR.. Magruder declared that Congress
has been deaf to all appeals to enact
appropriate legislation governing tie
milk supply of Washington and that
the District Commissioners cannot en-
force all of the requirements for the
prevention of tuberculosis as advanced
by the Washington conference in 1907.
How much longer are the citizens OF
Washington and the milk producers
supplying the city to wait for appro-
pirate legislation" he asked.
Dr. Woodward pointed out that In
| any consideration of local municipal
| responsibility Congress. as well as the
Commissioners, must be taken into &C
count -
L am willing to admit" said the
District health officer. that the COM
| missioners are informed on this SUBJ
| iect. but / don't think Congress is. OF
we would not have today what we 90
have" -.
Continuing, DR.. Woodward said that
| the trouble, in his opinion, is due largely
| TO the fact that many members Of Con
| gress do not thoroughly understand the
| situation or know what is needed. lie
noin ed to the fact that Congress IS IN
session only a part of each year, ana that
| it's time is so engrossed with various
| matters that it has not sufficiently IN
yestigated the subject of the control OF
| tuberculosis by municipal authority.

FARMERS


Instead of holding a four-day farm
ers' institute the director this year is
trying a new plan in ten towns along
the 500. Four institutes are held
for day each-every two weeks,
The First institute is along general
lines-the other three are special
one being devoted to corn and alfalfa,
another to dairying and still another
to live stock raising.
There are several advantages to this
plan. A smaller corps of institute
workers is required for each meeting.
With each session devoted to a stated
subject only special speakers along
that line are sent, The farmers are
able to get away from home without
difficulty for n day-but sometimes
it is impossible for them to remain
four days. Many are short of help in
the winter time and are not able to
absent themselves for a long period.
Then the question of expense is a mat
ter of Cslsideration.
The new plan is meeting with so
much success that in future years it's
adoption may become general.

THURSDAY, MARCH ?. 1912.
FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE.

HHM
There seems to be some confusion
regarding the provisions Of the pri-
mary ntion law and on the first and
second choice propositions. Of course
where there are only two candidates
for ~position-like governor-the
second choice doesa' apply. Where
there are three candidates it does not
appIy--if one receives so per cen Of
the total vote,
with three or more, however
Where candidate receives Il ma
5~srity-then the two receiving the
greatest number of first choice votes
must add their second choice to their
first. The largest total aggregate de-
termines the nominee. The candi-
dates in third and fourth and fifth po-
gttions receive no consideration
though the total of one of the low
men might be greater than n of the
two highest first choice selections.
This plan appl.~~ to congressional
and+ate jobs-and the second choice
provision may cut considerable figure
where the candidates are numerous.
In the Third congressional district,
&c are five men seeking the republi-
can nomination. 1t is extremely un-
IFkely that either will have a majority
Of the t-'al vote. In that case the two
high 'en on first choice will greatly
appreciate their second choice votes.
one might have 10000 first choice
votes to 5000 for his nearest opponent
bat the latter might have 5000 second
Ice to 1000 for the first-and win.
The primary election law is certain
" great stuff.
