 As soon as he had read Dr. Holt's speech before the Academy Health Commissioner Emerson conferred with pr. Holt over the telephone and then issued the following statement: "Dr. HOlts comments are not un- derstOOd to be criticisms or to express disapproval of the presentation of milk in New York city, but as a Warn- ing that in children under two the eX- elusive and continuous use, of pas teurzed milk may cause temporary disabilities which can be imm ediately remedied by the use of appropriate additions to the diet.
 'In order that every advantage may he taken immediately of the interest ing clinical reports as presented at the Academy of Medicine. I have given directions to the physicians and nurses in charge of the milk stations and baby welfare work in the homes, to be on the alert for any early signs of rickets and to insist upon the use of oranges, or other suitable anti-scOr- butics when babies are exclusively fed on paSteurized milk.
 "While the persistent decrease in infant mortality cannot be attributed as much to the introduction Of pas- teurzed milk as to personal medical instruction to eXpectant and nursing mothers in the homes, there can be no doubt of the reduction in preventable infections for which pasteurized milk is responsible.
 ''The department is not contemplat- ing, nor does it look with favor on, any administration of the milk SUD- ply in any community which elinni- mates the privilege of obtaining a safe and high grade raw milk for those whose lives may depend upon it's use.''

MIRTH AND MELODY
 IN PLAY AT LYCEUM

All roads lead to the Lyceum to- night where the Alfred Cross play CTS make their bow for the first time this season in musical comedy
 selecting as their vehicle for this occasion, George M. Cohan's clever connection of mirth and melody, The Talk of New York" Both tonight and tomorrow are expected to be big nights at the playhouse. Tonight, be- cause the regular patrons of the drama want to see what can be done by their faVOrites when it comes 10 singing and dancing, and tomorrow night for the fact that Philip Shef- field, who has won his way to tho front by his admirable comedy throughout the season, will have the house packed with his friends and admirers. In addition to this, auto graph pictures of MT. Sheffield will be given to all the ladies who attend.
 Alfred Cross announces a big surprise for the patrons of the Ly- ceum when the curtain goes up to- night cn the first act. There vii! be many new faces in the cast but New Britain theater-goecs will also have the opportunity to see their old-time faVorites in favorable parts. MT. Cross will lead the performance in the characte of Kid Burns, the IT. resistable character that has won favor in every section of these United States The philosophy of "Kid' Burns is somewhat akin to the wcn- derful line of argument possessed by Finley Peter Dunne's famous crea- tion, MT. Dooley." The only differ ence is that "Kid' Burns is a young gad-abOut, a real live, up-to-the min- ute rapid-fire artist who presents all the brilliancy and tiambouyancy of Broadway and does so in a refined manner His activities in "The Talk of New York are but the outgrowth of his first performance in "Forty- five minutes From Broadway He has discarded for the once the pie turesQue coat and sweater and is now seen in spats and fancy clothes, in full dress and all the accoutrem ents that go with a man cutting a dash on the RialtO. Kid Burns carries a laugh in every line of his converse.
