The Work Accomplished.

The Work Accomplished.
Several important ends have been ar
rived at in the exhibitions. The public
has been impressed with the value of
sanitation, has received an education on
education, and its attention has been
called to certain new trends of thought,
eugenics and kindred subjects that are
bound to receive great deal more at
tention during the next decade.
The tuberculosis and infant mortality
displays have received the largest pos
sible share of attention. Their lessons
have been hammered in by the little
flashlights SO impressive of the ravages
of each. Child study has been accen-
tuated and encouraged.
One of the features of the exhibition
has been the pure food exhibit to which
the College of Hawaii lent all its avail
able material. Prof. Vaughan McCaug-
hey, who designed it, has been explain.
ing it for the past five days and yester-
day summed up its objects in little
interview.
'There are several important factors
that control the production of clean
milk" he said. 'FThe first of these is
clean COW. Cow cleanliness is secured

green pasture, clean food and clean
housing. One advantage in Hawaii is
that cows do not have to be stabbed
during winter and thus are more easily
kept clean. Inasmuch as milk is merely
one of the by-products of the cow IS
food, it is evident that clean milk is
secured only when the feed is clean.
This means that mouldy feed, swill, fer.
mented or brewers grain and similar
substances should not be fed. The
water supply of the dairy is of great
Importance as normal milk contains a
large percentage of water.
ga COW that drinks foul or dirty
water can not be expected to give clean
milk Not only must the cows supply
of water be fresh and clean, but there
must also be large supply of water
for cleaning the dairy. The stalls, pre-
ferably with concrete floors, should be
flushed down daily and all utensils used
in handling the milk should be cleaned
frequently and thoroughly. Steam,
boiling water or even hot water is
greatly superior to cold water.
g If cleanliness is essential to the COW
and the stable it is equally essential
to the mixer. The best modern diaries
require the mixer to wash thoroughly
and to change his clothing before milk
ing, putting on clean white suit. He
milks into covered pail as this fern
of pail excludes a very large number of
bacteria. The milk is transported at
once to the milk room where it is cooled
and placed in clean containers. All
forms of street or city dust reek with
bacteria and quickly causes milk to
spoil In order that milk be clean
it must be properly cared for in the
home after it is received from the milk
man. This means some device for keep
ing it cool.
"The College of Hawaii has planned
and is exhibiting a modern ice box.
This box can be built at a total expense
of less than $500. It contains two cubic
feet of space for the ice and food. 1t
is zinc lined and can be easily kept
clean.
"The phase of the clean milk prob
lem of utmost Importance is tnber.
culosis. The germs of this disease and
of other vital diseases are carried
through milk as well as through other
agencies. 1t is impossible for the aver.
age person to know whether the milk
contains disease germs or not"
The Entertainment.
A particularly pleasing entertainment
was put on last night by the girls of
the Industrial School and the Palama
Settlement. A large oblong was roped
off in the middle of the floor where
dances delighted the audience for the
hour previous to the opening of the
conference.
The girls of the Settlement had par.
tieularly pleasing number of the pro
gram, scarf dance of unique move |
ments where color was used beautifully |
to aeeentuate grace. Eight little Jap
anese girls, kimonoed with all the
brightness customary to their natire
land danced an umbrella dance and also
shared largely in the applause.
