Pasteurization OF Milk
Is Not Objectionable
Says Government Paper

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb q
That there is no valid objection to
pasteurization when properly per-
formed and that the process makes
safer even the most carefully handled
ard inspected milk, is the conclusion
of a new professional paper of the
Department of Agriculture, in which
are set forth the most recent conclus-
ions of scientists in regard to this
matter. 1t seems probable, says this
paper, that within the next two years
a larger proportion of the milk supply
il the large cities will be pasteurized.
There is already a marked tendency
in this direction. About ten years ago
only per cent of the milk supply of
New York was pasteurized. In 1914
IS per cent was treated in this way.
At the present time 80 per cent of the
milk supply of Boston is pasteurized,
ard there are corresponding increases
in many of the smaller cities.
Before the value Of pasteurization
as hygienic measure was as well

Old Clock Has Its 5Oth
Birthday During This Month

The big clock, so long identified with
the jewelry house of James Fricker &,
Bro had a birthday this month. 1t was
fifty years old and it was the intention
of Walter Furlow, city editor of the
Americas Times Recorder, had he liv-
ed to chronicle, in his own happy, in
imitable style, this fiftieth anniversary
Of the old clock.
While talking to Mr.. Charles Fricker
but a short time before his death, Mr.
Furlow made the statement that the
tall clock was among his very earliest
recollections-its size and dignity leav-
ing an indelible impression upon his
childish mind.
His gifted pen would have told the
story of this faithful time-piece more
eloquently than can the pen of another
yet the birthday of such a faithful
friend should not pass unnoticed.
Attached to the clock through LONG
association, Mr.. Charles Fricker was
enabled to furnish the following in
teresting data. The instrument wa:
made originally for the firm of Light
rer and F'ricker, of Atlanta, Ca, il
1856. A year later this well-knowr
partnership was dissolved; James
Fricker removing to Americas the
same year and bringing with him the

grandfather's clock, which bore the
name in gold letters, of the firm upon
it's glass front. Later changes made in
the lettering were made by James
Learmoss, so that it now reads
James Fricker & Bro"
1t was in 1882 that Charles Fricker,
slender lad came to Americas, and
at the store of his brother, he like
Walt Furlow, was wonderfully i'm
pressed with the solemn face of the
mammoth clock.
Possessed of strong constitution,
ali iron nerve, and stout heart, the
clock has ever presented to the public
a bright and shining face, steady hands
and cherry voice that passed the
time of day impartially to young and
old. In all the years of its existence,
1t has never wasted one moments
time in idleness; and only once has its
silver-plated face melt the hands of the
beauty doctor. 1t has ever struck the
right chord and accurate and punctual
to the minute; it has regulated the
affairs and watches of hundreds who
consult it daily and never has it betray-
ed its trust. Hats off to the fifty year
cid clock-long may it stand beacon
and faithful friend to the people of
Americus.

recognized as it is today, it was prac-
ticed in secret by a number of milk
dealers as means of preserving milk
and preventing it from souring. It's
commercial value in this respect is
undoubtedly great, but it's chief func-
ton is the destruction of disease-pro-
ducing organism. Proper pastueri-
cation should destroy about SO per
cent of all the bacteria in the milk,
although when the bacterial count of
the raw milk is low the reduction may
be somewhat smaller. The efficiency
of the process, it is pointed out, can
not be based on the per cent, but
rather on the character of the BAG
terra destroyed.

Temperature Counts.

The kinds of bacteria that remain
alive after pasteurization depend on
the temperature to which the milk is
heated and the species of bacteria
which are in the raw milk. Three
processes of pasteurization, known
respectively as the flash process, the
holder process, and pasteurization in
the bottle, are now practiced in this
country In the flash process the milk
is raised quickly to temperature of
about 100 degrees F. or more, held
there for 80 seconds to a minute, and
then cooled quickly. In the holder
process the milk is heated TO a tenn
Ierature of from lao to $50 degrees F.
and held there for half an hour. When
in bottles is practiced,
The raw milk is put into bottles with
vatertight seal caps, which are i'm
mersed in hot water and held for from
20 to 80 minutes at a temperature of
145 degrees F. In this way the pas
teurized milk is not subjected to any
danger of reinfection. On the other
hand, the seal caps must be absolute
ly tight and this involves increased
cost. In general, it may be said that
the holder process is coming into
greater favor than either of the 9th
crs. This process permits of the use
Of lower temperatures which, for
various reasons, is highly desirable

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-02-02

another argument Off the use Of the
holder process, although conditions in
this respect are said to have been i'm
proved greatly in recent years.
Another common defect in the pro-
cess of pasteurization is carelessness
in the handling of the milk after ia
has been treated. AS has been said
already, this is one reason why pas
teurization in bottles is advocated.
One false step in handling the milk
after it has been pasteurized will I'M
do all the good effects of the process.
The milk should be cooled as rapidly
as possible to about 40 degrees F. and
kept at that temperature until deliv-
cred. If this is done, there is only a
Slight bacterial increase during the
first "a hours. 1t has been held by
some Investigators that bacteria grow
faster in pasteurized milk than in
raw milk This point, however, has
mover been thoroughly established
and other investigations indicate that
the rate of increase is approximately
the same.
Another Objection Raised.
Another objection that has been
raised to pasteurized milk is that the
bacteria which cause it to sour are
destroyed and that without their
restraining action the putrefying org
anisms which survive form taxins
and putrefactive products in the milk.
AS has been pointed out, this is true
only of milk that has been pasteurized
al ahigh temperature. AS a matter of
fact, the bulletin concluded, pastuer-
izatiOn by the holder process is today
tie most EFFECTIVE means # obtaining
safe milk. This is especially true of
cities which consume such great
quantities that thorough inspection
is almost impossible. New York City,
in 1912, for example, used 100000
quarts a day. This was furnished by
about 100000 COWS and some of it was
transported more than 400 miles. One
hundred and twenty-seven thousand
persons, it was estimated, were engag-
&c in handling it. Under such circum-
stances pasteurization is a necessary
precaution. 1t is, however to be re-
garded not as substitute for, but as
as supplement to, care and cleanli-
ness in the production of milk.

FE INAUGURATES EN-
PLOYES DEATH BENEFIT PLAN.

Mr.. A. c. Torbert, secretary and
treasurer of the Gulf Colorado and
Santa Fe railway company, is arrang-
ing to obtain from all the company's
employees, the information needed to
put into effect the death benefits plan
recently announced by President Rip
| ley. "In order to put this new policy
in effect" said Mr.. Torbert, sis neces-
sary to have every employe name his
or her beneficiary; state the length
of service with the company, and the
amount of wages received for the
twelve months ending June 80, this
year
A card will be given to each employe
with the distribution of pay checks
on July Is, and request made that
| it be filled out Immediately. Employees
will be permitted to change their bene-
| ficiary, and such beneficiary must, in
every instance be a dependent member
of the employees family. In the alb
sence of a named beneficiary, payment
will be made to the next of kin de
pendent upon the emplOye-like life
insurance. In case an employ should
die before a beneficiary is named, the
beneficiary in that case will be de
termined by the company and the
benefit paid a. if regular form had
been followed.
The plan effects the $4,000 employees
of the Santa Fe system.
In the absence of statistics as to
the length of service, it is impossible
to state just how many employees are
eligible at the present writing, but it
| is safe to assume that at least 80 per
cent. of the men have had more than
two years service.
The Company's plan, in brief, is to
pay a benefit equal to 5 percent. Of
the salary earned by the employe dur
ing the twelve months preceding
death multiplied by the number of
years continuous service, provided,
that the maximum amount to be paid
shall be the wages earned by such en-
ploye during the past twelve months,
but in no case to exceed 100000.
The minimum amount to be paid is set
at s250.OO, and benefit figuring less
than that amount will be automatically
raised to $25000.

By the beginning of the seventeenth
century the use Of carriages. and
coaches had become so prevalent in
England that in 1901 the attention of
parliament was drawn to the subject.
and a bill ito restrain the excessive
use of coaches" was introduced, which,
however, was rejected on its second
reading. In the early part of the cen.
tury it was estimated that there were
