DISEASE. GERMS IN. MILK
BY pr. W. 2. sherlock.

IOther articles viii follow on the

There is widespread feeling that
the bacteria In milk are closely asso-
ciated with the distribution OF dis
eases. The idea is undoubtedly well
founded. but in the minds of most
people it il too indefinite to have
much meaning. and its very indefinite
ness gives rise 10 erroneous impress
sions. The simple fact that milk
contains bacteria does not render it
dangerous to, drink, nor that 1t con-
tains large numbers 0f bacteria 1t

times in equal quantity. The fact
that these beverages with such en-
ormous numbers OF bacteria, are per-

cause it contains such large numbers

The accumulated information Of

terra that are. harmful, and that
there are but four specific diseases
commonly thus distributed, together
with. q fifth type OF disease which is
less definite. The specific diseases
are, tuberculosis. typhoid fever.

less definite type includes the
diarrhoeal troubles known commonly
by the name of cholera sinfantum.

etc. These are all characterized by
diarrhoeal disturbances, but with
such varying symptoms that they are
not recognized by physicians as sharp
" defined diseases, and they are.
moreover, produced by more than one
kind of germ.

carranza Troops MoblIIzed.


Douglas, Ariz., March 14-Eight
thousand Carranza troops are being
modified at Cabullona station,
twelve miles south of Douglas. Gen
P. Elias Gales, governor and military
commander of Sonora, says the con.
centration is the result of his determ-
ination to keep the troops away from
the border.
He says that the Mexicans, excited
by wild reports of American con-
quest of Mexican territory might fire
shots over the border and thus throw
Mexico and the United States into an
uncalled for war.
Gales did not explain why Cabul-
Iona was selected as mobilization
point. There are no barracks there
and no accommodations whatever for
troops. Aqua Prieta has been evacu-
ated by the Carranzistas and in ad-
dition all forces guarding American
mining camps in Sonora have been
Withdrawn and ordered TO Cabullona.
Reports were current here tonight
that it was the intention of the Car
ranzistas to make stand at Cahul-
Iona against the United States troops
should they attempt to invade Son
ora.

U. S. ENTERS INTO PACT
WITH GEN. CARRANZA
Accepts Proposal for Reciprocal Ar
rangements for Movement of
Troops Across Border.

Washington, March 14.-President
Wilson yesterday accepted with mod.
ifications the proposal of the Mexican
government for reciprocal privileges
in the pursuit of outlaws across the
borders of the two countries
Gen Carranza was so informed in
a note telegraphed to United States
Consul Silliman in reply to the re-
quest transmitted by Jesus Acuna,
Mexican foreign minister, on Friday,
Accompanying the note to Carranza
was a statement by Secretary Lans-
ing that under no circumstances will
the expedition into Mexico to "get
Villa" be permitted to develop into
Intervention
The message to Carranza and the
accompanying statement were for
warded Immediately to Gen Funston
This action was intended to give
Funston notification that the 'diplo-
matte obstacles TO his expedition had
been overcome and that he was free
to launch it at once
Carranza in Doubt.
Secretary Lansing made 1t plain
that the United States understands
the reciprocal arrangement is now
complete and in force and that United
States troops may begin their punt
tive expedition without further inter-
change of views between the two gov.
ernments.
Whether Carranza will be satisfied
with the acceptance given by the
unitedsStates remains to be seen. 1t
is not direct response to the pro-
posal he made.
Literally Carranza's proposal was
for a reciprocal arrangement by
which his troops might pursue the
horde led by Francisco Villa" into
the United States.
For the reciprocal arrangement the
United States agrees to permit Car
rama troops to enter the United
States in pursuit of bandits who leave
the American side to attack Mexican
