FACTORS IN THE MILK
SUPPLY PROBLEM.

In the nue. ana cry WHICH Is raised
from time to time regarding the milk
supplies of American municipalities,
little attention is given to some Of the
economic factors which determine the
situation. Milk may become car
rier OF disease, and for this reason
its purity must be protected at any
cost; but the quality Of milk has an
immediate interest from nutritive
point of view as we'll Milk Is tndis-
pensible in the modern practice of In
FAINT feeding, and to certain extent
in feeding the sick; aside from this,
however, the use of milk may be reg
ulated in no slight degree by the same
considerations that apply to other
foods which enter widely into the
daily diet of man.
Friction between the consumer and
the producer of milk is due to mis-
understanding on both sides We
charge the farmer with stubbornness
when reform measures are suggested
for milk production, yet those who
clamor for clean milk and pure food.
who insist on sanitary conditions and
rigorous inspection to enforce them.
are often the first to resent rise In
the price of the commodity.
There are economic laws In the milk
business as In any other industry The
financial stimulus Ia the strongest
force which can be enlisted In the i'm.
provement OF municipal milk-supplies.
Milk Is not likely to become better as
long as the largest profit is attained
by the production of dirty milk At
tempts at improvement Of mflk-sup-
plies. says the Journal of the Alnen-
can Medical Association, too frequent
ly have not taken into consideration
the financial magnitude Of the bust
ness interests which they have under
taken to control. The lack of famil-
iarity with the financial side Of the
milk business on the part OF the re-
formers is partly due to the fact that
only a small part of the investment
is apparent to them and largely be-
cause detailed information on the sub
ject has hitherto not been generally
available.
Harding and Brew found that in a
small city with a population Of 10000
the dairy capitalization amounts to
s36.42 per capita of the people sup
piled. The capitalization amount to
s763 per COW, of which the producer
furnishes $3.50 and the retailer $50. A
financial analysis on this basis shows
that the margin of average profit is
narrow; and 1t is the meagerness of
financial return that makes the dairy
business respond promptly to any op.
portunity for increased gain
Farmers are prepared to produce any
grade of milk which the market de-
sires. They will produce It as soon
as the marke. clearly states It's wants
and offers price which will make
the production reasonably profitable.
The former system of wholesale prices
according to which milk was bought
by weight or measure regardless Of
its commercial quality practically
compelled the production of the cheap
est and dirtiest possible supply At
present prices the margin of profit in
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-09-30


the production OF milk is so narrow
that the farmers cannot afford to act
the part OF philanthropists by the pro
duction of higher grade of milk than
the market demands and is willing to
pay for. On the other hand, the farm
ers have business sense which
quickly leads them to produce the
grade of product for which they can
obtain the largest margin of profit.
The important fact which stands out
plainly in the present situation is that
while the farmers are able and viii.
ling to produce sanitary milk when
ever Its production is the more profit
able, they cannot be expected to con.
tinue such production whenever there
is greater profit in the making OF
dirtier milk.

If your Corset is not comfortable and does
not give you the exact lines you would have,
perhaps it is a Bien Jolie "Grecian-Treco" you
need-the Corset that gives the natural, Gun
corseted" effect so much desired this season.
The peculiar knitted fabric of which "GRE-
CIAN-TRECO" Corsets are made took longer
to perfect than any other corset fabric ever
produced The "GRECIAN-TRECO" has
stirred up more interest and has taken"
quicker than any other corset produced in
many years.
This soft, plant, homeless, knitted corset is
the latest creation in corsetry. 1t lends itself
to the willowy, clnging draped gowns of the
season styles, and produces the natural 'un-
corseted" effect.
When you wear the GRECIAN -TRECO Cor
set, you can readily guide your figure into the
natural graceful, supple lines 50 much ad-
mired in to-day's fashions style for every

It is always more satisfactory to have the
