"MEAT IN DUE SEASON."
The jewish Sabbath.

Editor Courier: In q recent letter We
sought to show from the scriptures
how, Christ had become the end OF
the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth." (Rom. 10:D.
But those who teach that Christians
must keep the law in this dispensation
OF grace, az the Jews were to keep II
during the dispensation OF law
which began at Sinai and ended q!
Calvary - make special HOBBY OF
the fourth commandment. They Insist
that Adam and the patriarchs kept the
seventh day. and that it is as binding
on Christians as it was on the Jews.
That they are in error on the nrst
point let us state that we know OF no
scripture that hints that God made
known to Adam that He had sanctineo
q day and rested from his work IN crea-
ton. And more than two thousand.
Ave hundred years later, Moses, speak
ing OF the commandments said: Ine
Lord made not this covenant with our
fathers, but With US, even us, VINO are
all of us here alive this day" (Deut.
5:3) In verse liz he gives the reason
why God commanded them to keep the
sabbath It was because He had
brought them out OF bondage IN Egypt.
In Nehemiah 9:13, IA is fixed beyond
all cavil the time when the sabDatn'
Gods rest, was made known to man.

Sinai and madest known

The Simplest, Cheapest and Least Objectionable
Method of Rendering Infected Milk Safe
BY MILTON J. ROSENAU
Medicine, Harvard Medical School

Pasteurized milk is just as digest
ible and just as nutritious as raw
milk, and ii the process is properly
carried out, leaves no unpleasant
taste or odor. In fact, 1t IL very diff.
flcult to distinguish properly pasteur.
lied milk from raw milk The cor
rect temperature to which to heat the
milk is 140 degrees r. for twenty min
utes. In order to have factor Of
safety, it is the usual practice to heat
the milk for thirty minutes at las de-
grees F. Higher temperature or long
err time is unnecessary; anything less
Is not effective and gives false sense
of security. Immediately after heat
ing, the milk must be chilled and
kept cold. The prompt cooling is a
very important part of the process of
pasteurization. Milk should always
be kept cold, clean and covered In
the household
Pasteurization should never be used
as a redemption process, nor should
pasteurization be used to bolster up
bad milk. Pasteurization cannot
atone for filth 1t cannot make good
milk out Of bad. The health authori-
les should not permit any old milk
to be pasteurized. It is necessary to
have a good system Of milk inspec-
ton to look after the production, trans
portation and handling Of milk from
pasture to pail and from pail to pas
teurizer. A good milk inspection ser
vice would not permit stale, bacteria
laden and dirty milk to be pasteuriz-
ed. All that pasteurization does is to
destroy unseen dangers in raw milk.
All milk that cannot be certified by the
health officer as fresh, clean and safe
should be pasteurised, for raw milk
may be dangerous milk.
Milk that has been pasteurized
should always be labeled with the
time, temperature and date, and
should be used as soon az practical.
Pasteurization Is too important pub
lie health measure to leave to the
caprice Of the individual dairyman. 1t
should, therefore, always be done I'M
der the supervision of the health de.
partment. Pure milk is better than
purified milk, but until the milk sup.
ply Is safe our only protection is
through pasteurization.
Pasteurization saves lives and pre-
vents sickness.

RIVER TERMINALS FIRST.

Delegates from twelve states are in
Sc ssion at Kansas City to protest
against the proposal of United States
eneineers to abandon plans for the
Improvement OF the Missouri river.
The engineers assert that the river
traffic does not warrant expenditure of
such large sums as the proposed i'm
provements call for.
The delegates-al improved water
way enthusiasts-assert that to aban-
don the Improvement of the Missouri
presages similar abandonment OF I'M
provement of the Mississippi and other
inland waterways and that in the in
terssts of the great middle west, this
must be prevented. It is set forth
that only by a comprehensive system
of inland waterways, can the middle
west compete with the seaboard sec
tons where cheap water freight rates
prevail
The controversy over the improving
of the Missouri calls attention to the
fact that waterway enthusiasts are
putting the wrong foot foremost. Too
many of them are working on the as
sumption that the rivers must tlrst pc
improved and that then the tranhc Will
follow. AS a matter Of fact the frst
step is to get the towns and cities
along the rivers to build terminals pro
yiding suitable loading and unloading
and warehouse facilities. River tra1-
flc will follow and then. the govern
ment will do the requisite amount OF

has seen a splendid channel In the

cause there is not over half dozen

The summer. so far from being
over, may yet have weeks OF its most
trying conditions to inflict upon u.s..
Pasteurization of the milk supply, un-
fortunately, Is a safeguard needed at
other times; but the summers heat
affords one period when people can be
vitality interested In it, If only for
their children's sake.
This summer, like other summers,
has permitted the persistence OF mis-
conceptions regarding pasteurization,
in its character and its utility. Be-
yond the domain Of errors, due to in
exact and ill-digested information,
there lies vast extent Of ignorance,
where the need and nature Of the pro-
cess are not appreciated at all The
need for 1t is Infinitely broader than
Is popularity realized. The nature Of
pasteurization is much more simple
than Is generally supposed.
In the language Of the kitchen, pas
teurization means par-boiling. Pas
teurized milk Is nothing more or less
than heated milk. The object of heat
ing milk is to destroy harmful germs
that too often are found in it. Milk
not fnfrequently transmits tubercu-
losis, typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, septic sore throat and the
summer complaints of infants. Pas
teurization has only one object, and
that Is to destroy the germ of these
diseases In the milk.
Pasteurization is not an ideal but
only temporary expedient. 1t is the
simplest, cheapest and least objec-
tionable method of rendering infected
milk safe. Pasteurization is good
form Of sickness insurance for the
consumer and good kind Of business
insurance for the producer.
There can be no more objection to
pasteurized milk for the use of adults
and children over two years of age
than there is to the broiling Of beef
steak for strong men. Babies should
have mothers milk There is no ade-
quate substitute. If mothers milk is
not available, the cow may be select
ed as its foster mother In that case,
babies are entitled to the very best
and freshest cows milk that can be
obtained Whether such milk Is to
be modified, pasteurized or otherwise
treated is question for the doctor, to
decide in each individual case.
