than good. Some OF the statements made
lead to the conclusion that nearly all
milk is dangerous and to be avoided,
while others place the responsibility for
all epidemic disease on milk. The con-
sentative sanitarian says that bad milk
is at least dangerous enough to justify
its being shut out of the market. Whether
1t contains contagion or not, It is GER
tain to contain germs that do great dam
age to the intestinal tractS OF babies and
invite stomachic disorders in grown-ups'
They do not say that bad milk is a viru-
lent poison, but they declare that the
man or the woman who uses 1t invites
disease, If not death.
The great trouble experienced In fur
therng the milk crusade is the unwilling
ness of the masses of the people to pay a
cent more a quart for pure milk than
they pay for impure milk. While there Is
a class of people who are willing to pay
10 cents quart for the best milk, when
the ordinary kind sells for cents, the
great majority stick to the ordinary
kind. The milkman thereupon asserts
that he Is giving the people all the protec-
ton they are willing to pay for.
While the main fight that the cities are
making today is in the direction of pure
milk, there Is an economic end to the
milk question as Well.
