This is distinctly period or good

PASTEURIZING THE THING
Opinion of Experts is That il is One
Thing Greatly Needed.

State Dairy Inspector Webb, who
was in Alma on Wednesday afternoon
of this week, in talk with the Rec
ord reporter, said, at is the only
thing" when asked about pasteurized
milk.
Not only did he say that it was the
only thing, but that it was the com
ing thing. 1t makes it "A certainty
that germs are not present i'm the
milk. He also gave il out that the
opinion of many people that pasteur-
izing changed the composition Of the
milk was wrong, because the heat to
which it was subjected was not great
enough to change it; that it was heat
ed just enough TO kill off the germs.
Eight cent pastuerized milk is cheap
milk, was another idea that he con-
veyed to the Record reporter
DR.. T. J. Carney of the health de
partment, who is most interested in
getting the pasteurization for Alma
furnished the following report of a
milk test, which shows how germs
rapidly accumulate in milk:
Extracts from kerley, Diseases on
Children
Experiment conducted by Walter
+ King of state veterinary college
and Mr. Parsons, of department of
bacteriology, Cornell university
Exposure TO air i'm the stable
two liters (about two quarts), Of
sterilized milk were placed in "A sterile
pail and exposed seven minutes to the
stable air in passageway behind the
cows This stable was doubtless clean
en- than the average, and the air con
tanned less dust than is often found
in places where milk is being handled
Immediately after the exposure the
milk was planted and we found it to
contain 2S00 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter (about Is drops) in other
words, between 100000 and 100000
bacteria had fallen into two ltors
of milk in this short time"

SCOTT RETURNS
To WASHINGTON
WITH A REPORT

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 15.-
General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army, reached
Washington early today from Ell Paso,
Tex Gen. Scott brought with him a
complete report of his conversations
with General Alxarez Obregon, secre>
tary of war in the Carranza Mexican
cabinet, concerning the border situa-
tion.
1t is expected several days will be re-
quired for Gen. Scott to discuss fully
with President Wilson and his advis-
ers the conditions as they exist in the
troubled republic to the south, and un-
til then no negotiations will be under
taken with Emelio Arredondo, the Car
rama ambassador designate, here. Fu-
'"iN hSSOtidtlOho upOh IHS SiDudJIOH
are to be conducted through the state
department, but the war department
will continue the efforts to put down
bandits in northern Mexico.
Washington officials today appeared
anxious to learn precisely why Gen.
Obregon, the Mexican representative
at the border conference, declined to
sign an agreement covering the opera
ticns of American troops in Mexico,
though none of these officials appeared
exercised over the possibility of future
clashes between United States and Car
rama troops. 1t was announced Sun
day that a "gentleman's agreement"
had been reached concerning the hunt
for bandits in Mexico, but no formal
agreement upon the subject has been
signed.

JAPANESE COTTON CLOTH
IS IN GREAT DEMAND NOW

TOXIC, May 15.-The demand for
Japanese cotton cloth OF various
kinds is steadily increasing in China,
India and Russia, where stocks of
European goods are beginning to run
low on account of the continuance
of the war. Before the war Japan re-
ceived from England supply of cot
ton cloth of superior quality but she
is now supplying England with large
quantities of this material. essim-
istic views are, however, expressed in
some quarters in Japan as to the fu-
ture of the cotton trade because the
manufacturers are experiencing con-
siderable difficulty in obtaining the
necessary supply of dyes, stocks of
which are fast diminishing. Japan is
now trying to manufacture her own
dyes.

SOUTH GEORGIA
HAS COMPANY IN
READINESS NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, May 15.-That Geor-
gians stand ready to defend the nation
il time of peril was strikingly demon
strated in Washington d. c., on Satur-
day when Jesse E. Mercer, former state
gtme warden of Georgia, rendered to
Secretary of War Baker the services of
1000 men, as volunteers prepared to
take up arms at the first call.
For several weeks Mr.. Mercer has
been quietly enlisting recruits for a
reserve regiment of volunteers around
Waycross, Brunswick, Blackshear,
Ocilla. Valdosta, Americus, Cordele,
Moultrie, Fitzgerald, Hazlehurst and
other south Georgia towns, and when
he went to Washington to tender the
services of his regiment he did not pre-
sent the secretary of war with a fine
sounding hot-air speech, but with facts
figures and names and addresses. The
services of the regiment were immed-
lately and enthusiastically accepted
and the roster was filed in the war de-
partment.
The week ending Saturday was one
in which several Georgians came prom
inently to the front in the national
capital, along with Colonel Mercer and
lis volunteers.
Senator Hoke Smith had the salts
faction of seeing his vocational training
provision retained in the army bill as
agreed upon by the house and senate
conferees, and the further satisfaction
Of seeing his market provision further
strengthened in the senate agricultural
committees final draft of the agricul-
tural bill Vocational training for en-
listed men in the regular army of the
United States will do more to attract
substantial young men to the service
than any other feature the government
could offer, in the opinion of army Off
GERS.
Still another Georgian figuring
prominently in the Washington news
dispatches is Major P. G. Harris, of the
United States army, brother of Hon
William ]. Harris, of the Federal
Trade commission. Major Harris has
been promoted to the rank of assist
ant adjutant general and assigned to
duty at Washington. He is graduate
Of West Point, distinguished himself
for gallantry in action in the Spanish
American war, and has son at West
Point who is forging ahead.
