milk so clean and free from bacteria
that ranks above even the higL-priced
certified milk, produced especially for
invalids and infants. The college
dairy product contains from 1000 to
5000 bacteria per cubic centimeter,
while the number permitted in certi-
fed milk may run as high as 1000
per C. C.
"We made counts on three consecu-
tive weeks" said Professor T. D.
Beckwith, of the meteorological de-
partment, "and the results were 1000.
5000 and 5000 bacteria per c. c., res
pectively. The first two counts were
made from samples taken at the dairy
barn, and the last one from the bottled
product, just as it goes to market.
This is very high rank, even in COM
parison with the certified milk. In
comparison with the average product
it is simply way up.
"While not all bacteria in milk are
harmful, surplus number is positive
proof that the milk has been subjected
to unsanitary handling. Not more
than 500 per C. C. are ordinarily found
in udder milk, and any excess must
have entered after the milk was
drawn, usually in dust, manure, mud
and hairs, or have bred in milk that
was kept at too high temperature.
During the first hour that milk is
drawn there can be no increase from
development of bacteria in the milk,
and if the milk is reduced to temper
ature not above so degrees, the natural
increase is very slow afterwards.
The high-grade product at the COL
lege was obtained simply by keeping
the milk "clean, cool and covered" I"
1t is kept clean by having the barn,
the COW, the vessels and the mixer,
clean. 1t is kept cool by putting it
into cans that stand in cold water, and
occasionally stirring both milk and
water with a clean rod. 1t is kept
covered by milking it into pals that
have small cloth-covered tops, taking
it from the barn as soon as MIXED.
and emptying it into cans that are i'm
mediately covered.
Milk 30 handled is good and whole

eventually bring higher price. And

Permission is sought in a suit filed yes

against Attorney General McReynolds,

mitted to use the income of q trust fund

OF the Columbia University. OF this city.
by Eleanor J. Cooper in her will of July

in the medical building of the university
to be devoted to the investigation of the
nature. causation. prevention, and cure
OF malaria and other infectious or con-
tagious diseases.
The United States is named as defend
ant by reason of Congress having grant
ed the charter to the university defining
the scope OF its activities, and also be-
cause Of the public character of the
university. The original bequest was
made by the testatrix with the direc-
ton that the income of the fund be de-
voted to the investigation OF the nature OF
the material poison arising from sewer
gas and an antidote thereof
Petitioners say that 1.sOo of the funds

In the will. and claim that scientific re-
search has now definitely disclosed the
fact, which is unanimously recognized
as a medical truth. that there is no
connection whatever between malaria and
sewer gas.
The trustees of the university aver that
they are advised il would be useless to

Ject IL Is further alleged that the execu-

Grim Fight for Food.
In the whole course of the war Lees
command-which never for any extended
period had known the luxury Of enough
supplies-had not experienced such a
time of want equal to this.
The army was reaping the aftermath
of Gettysburg. Its long marches and
gallant fights had ended in a return to
the blighted country of central Virginia
where the passing and repassing of hos
tile armies had worn the land bare Of
sustenance.
The whole South was suffering for the
necessaries of life.r The legislature at
Richmond had passed a bill for the re-
lief of the families of soldiers; but the
relief was scanty. and in many cases
none was asked for or received.
The hungry men serving under Lee
could bear their own sufferings better
than they could bear the thought that
their loved ones at home might be
starving. and obeying the promptings Of
their nature. they deserted.
The reader of popular histories, who
sees the army of Lee upon the bloody
fields on which, in the spring of 1854.
he forced Grant, with his superior num-
bers. to abandon his attempt to force
his way directly to Richmond, little un-
derstands the struggle of the great South
ern general to hold his army together in
the winter of 1864. and prepare 1t for
its final campaign.
The official records, however. make
clear the labor and anxiety of Lee in
obtaining food and clothing.
