RAW MILK DANGERS.

Spurred by the epidemic Of foot and
mouth disease, I have given instructions that
all milk consumed in my home shall henceforth
be boiled. This was not due SO much to the fear
of this particular disease, as to growing con-
victiOn that milk, q;.ite as much as meat, should
be cooked.
1t is true that there are many physi
clans Of authority who hold that boiling de-
stroys some quality in the milk which seems to
be essential. 1t may be that scurvv in infants
follows the prolonged feeding Of boiled milk,
although this has not been absolutely proved.
In any case there is no such danger for children
whose food is varied by fruits, vegetables and
other articles Of general diet.
Personally, [ am quite convinced that
the danger Of scurvy even in young infants, can
be removed by a daily allowance of a teaspoon
full of orange juice. In view of the established
conviction of many able specialists, however, l
do not care to be at all dogmatic in an opinion |
my have occasion to change upon the presen-
tation of moro positive and overwhelming evil
dence than have yet seer.
Upon the question Of the likelihood of milk
carrying disease germs however, there is no
controversy amongst capable judges First of
all, there is the danger of contracting disease
from an infected COW. Even more, milk is an
ideal carrier of disease, furnishing room and
board to the germs during their travel from one
victim to a new one.
Typhoid and scarlet fever particu-
arly have been traced along milk route so
frequently that the trained health officer con-
sders this medium of spread as soon as the
number of cases of a contagious disease be-
comes unusually great. Frequently he is able
to discover an infectious patient in the home of
the dealer or in the home of one of the produc-
ing farmers By absolute quarantine and tenn
porarily shutting down the distribution of
the milk the spread of such epidemic is instant
ly checked.
Until the public has erected safe
guards for all the people it is necessary for in
dividuals to protect themselves. While boiling
milk may not be ideal it renders it safe from
disease germs. Thorough pasteurization is
effective. The thoroughness, however, is de.
pendent upon the integrity of an outsider, ex-
cept when it is done at home. Butter and
cheese should be made from pasteurized cream
and milk The public can hasten the day when
all will be so made by demanding and purchas-
ing only pasteurized milk products.

BLANCHAR.DVILLE

The Blade reports that at 2:3O
Thursday morning Nov. 10, 1914, fire
was discovered in the F. j. McKenna
building occupied by Noah Perlmutter
at the rear of the S. NJ Smith building.
Just where it originated, it is hard to
determine The flames spread to the
Zweifel building, to the roof of Steen-
land and Mason's opera hall. James
Steensland did most efficient work in
saving his property. He got on the
roof with a water soaked quilt, cleaned
out the coal the wind had lodged in the
corner of the roof. also threw the burn
ing timbers from the roof and kept the
fire from getting started. He got his
hands and face badly burned. The fire
company and everybody worked well
and did wonders is combining it to the
Smith and McKenna buildings

Next to Johnny Evers. second base
man OF the Boston Braves, Henry
C'Hank'D Gowdy received the most
money for his seasons work Besides
his salary he got his slice from the
worlds series and also received a gift
from James Gaffney, owner of the
club. 1t is figured that $4,000 was
about Hanks emoluments for the year
Pretty good pay for a young man play
ing his first season in the big leagues.
Hank had figured before in the big
show, but only for a short time. For
q brief period he was member Of
the New York Giants. but he was rele
gated to the minors by McGraW. Cow
dy was the outstanding figure of the
worlds series. That much is conceded
by all baseball experts, for it was
Catcher Hank more than any other
one man who blasted the hopes of the
Athletics.
SO shrewd a baseball critic as Clark
Griffith said of GoWdy in September
before Boston had won the pennant:
"There is one player who is general
ly overlooked by the fans when they
are looking for reasons for the great
squirt of the Boston Braves That is
Hank Gowdy. There are other stars
in the club, as there must be in every
winning club, but to my way of think
ing the man who has done the most to
make the club consistent winner is
Gowdy. With steady work he has i'm
proved wonderfully, and now consid-
er him to be the best catcher in the
National league"

France was forced to give up her

Russia and Turkey, Russia de-
feated Turkey and was given a
large part of Turkey in Europe
among which was territory lying
along the Adriatic seacoast. The
powers, England, Germany and
Austria, however, alarmed at
this disturbance of the balance
OF powst, called a council at
Berlin. At this council all the
newly ACQUIRED territory was
taken from Russia aud made
into two nations, Seryia and Bull |
garla. This Action was taken
because England and Germany
wished some nation Of no world
pnwer to hold possession of the
seacoast of the Adfiatic, for, if
Russia gained an ioutlet ito the
