may be left In a warm pantry or on
the kitchen table uncovered. In the
summer time it offers an ideal drink
ing fountain for the typhoid fly, which
is sure to haunt the kitchen of the
careless housewife.
The careless handling of a product
so delicate is due to one of two causes
either the housewife is Indifferent
to the health of her family, or she is
ignorant as to the effect OF such care
less handling of milk. One knows that
no housewife could be Indifferent to
the health of her family; hence, we
must conclude that the careless han
ding of milk in the home is due to ig-
norance.
Of what use is it for the federal gov
eminent to enforce the pure food law,
as it relates to milk, OF for the individ-
ual state or for the city or town to
enact and enforce laws for the pro-
lection of the milk supply or for the
dairy farmer and the distributor OF
milk to expend large sums Of money
in producing and delivering a clean,
pure supply of milk, when the ignor-
ant and Indifferent housewife, by her
careless methods in the home, nulli-
fies all the work? In many a home,
milk is treated with as little care as a
bag of potatoes.
If consumers knew how dangerous
to health is the consumption of dirty
milk, they would with one accord de-
mand a clean product and willingly
pay the increased cost. Clean milk
costs more than dirty milk, but even
at an increased cost 1t is an inexpen-
siye food product

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

The interstate commerce commits
sion may not be regarded in the light
of common enemy by the ship
pers and the railroads. but in one in
stance it has been the means of caus
ing them to get together.
Both the railways and the shippers
have heretofore rejected the orders of
the commission in the very important
cases wherein the commission first ex-
ercised its power to fix reasonable
rates, under the latest modification of
the interstate commerce law. The
commission issued it's order fixing
reasonable rates in $40 carload COM
modify cases, and 436 less than car
load rates. and forbade the railways
to make their rates to points this side
the Pacific coast terminals above their
rates to the terminals by more than
certain percentages to certain arbitra-
lily fixed zones. The order dissatisfied
all hands, and is under appeal, but the
commission now has aSsented to
agreements between the railways and
their customers in some 400 cases. 1t
has been estimated that the order of
the commission compelled the loss by
the railways of per cent upon $780,
Co., 900. 1t is not possible now to say
how great is the sum. involved in the
compromise approved by the commits
sion. but it is more important than the
dollars involved. however many.
Settlement by agreement may be
hoped to be settlement which settles.
OF course, if the railways had agreed
on these same rates. that would have
been conspiracy in restraint of trade,
and if the shippers had agreed to ship
by any one carrier to coerce any other
carrier, that, too, would have been
conspiracy. But agreements between
all railways and all shippers are diff
ferent.
Sometimes statutes which read like
a finality rather open than settle dis
