Such was the testimony of DR.. Her
bert D. Pease of the Lederle Labora-
tories at the trial of John W. Gregg.
Although Gregg's place of business
| in Washington was comparatively re-
mote from New York, his case was
looked upon by public health officials
all over the country as not only of
importance to the people of New York
City, but to the people of every State
in the Union, as we shall see.
The defense of Gregg was financed
by the same association of milk deal
ers who had fought so desperately to
defeat all federal and State efforts to
establish standards of milk purity for
the entire country.
Beaten at Colorado Springs Sep
tember. 1913, when the International
Milk Dealers Association unanimous
ly adopted the clean milk standards
of the National Commission, the dirty
milkmen, as we have seen, did not
hesitate to force the State of New
York against the cause of clean milk

point a commission backed in the in

THE CHILD AND THE RIRI,E

There are some people who main
tam that child should be stuffed with
All the passages he can possibly learn.
You have heard of parents-here it is
often the father who is at fault-who
compel their children to learn verse
after verse from the Bible. do not
depreciate the value of some memory
passages. but lessons should be as
signed with discretion. Some parents
cram a poor youngster with a lot of
Scripture that the child cannot under
stand. I have heard children quote
verse upon verse about sin and its con-
sequences who had no conception Of
the nature of sin.
Why should we load meaningless
stuff into the child mind when there is
an abundance of really beautiful and
comprehensive material in the Bible !?

The Appearance of Squad of Pro.
fessors at the National Capitol to
Testify That Milk Containing 49,
100000 Bacteria Per G. C. Was
Good Milk AStonished the Entire
Scientific World-It Also Disclos-
ed the Desperation of Dealers in
Liquid Filth Who Were Ready al
Their Own Expense TO Defend Any
Individual, However Obscure, Who
Might Be Prosecuted for Selling
Contaminated Milk.
Scarcely a week had passed follow
Ing Governor Glynn's discovery that
his milk commission was engaged in
an unholy purpose when its members
appeared at Washington to derend a
dealer accused Of selling milk with
a bacteria count of 4S,000.000 per
cubic centermeter. thereby vindicat-
ing the wisdom of the Governor in
destroying the body which he had
created.
The dirty milk crowd in the Wash
ington case came out in the open in
last desperate effort to overthrow
every possible standard of decency in
the handling and selling of their pro-
duct to consumers.
In all civilized countries clean milk
is regarded as vital to public health.
me HSHI IoF IL, prior TO the famous
Washington case, had been mainly
against sluggish ignorance
Governor Glynn'S conscientious
handling of the situation inspired
dirty milk to send forth aggressive
champions.
The extremes to which these men
were willing to go is shown in the
subjoined account of their first de-
termined effort to establish a prece-
dent, the avowed purpose of which
was to break down all hitherto ac-
cepted standards of milk decency and
safety:

Why not get decision as quickly as
possible, and let the soldiers return to
their neglected homes? Why commit
the suffering and devastation to con-
tinuc for years when months would
suffice?
At present 1t costs SIS 900 to kill a
man in war, as against $3.50 in the
time of Hannibal. This difference is
too much tribute to pay science and
modernism

ANCIENT VS.. MODERN WARFARE
[From E. w. Howe's Monthlv1

Hudson Maxim, in his book, DE-
fenseless America" says modern ma
chinery for human destruction has re-
suited not in shorter wars, but in
longer conflicts, fewer deaths and
vastly greater expense. When men
fought hand to hand in compact form,
with short swords. spears and battle
axes, there was usually one great en-
gagement, and that settled it; easily
ten times as many were slain in All
old-time battle, number of men con-
sidered. as at present.
If men must go to war, why prolong

Teamster Gave Handcert TuShor a
"Lift" That Was Something to
De Appreciated.

Here is an interesting street scene.
drawn by writer:
The handcart was of familiar sort
"a pair of high wheels with a long
platform of Stats resting on the axle
and a crossbar at one end for nam
die. A man stands behind the cross
bar and breasts it to propel the We
hicle.
The handcart was piled high with
big bags filled with waste paper--a
cumbersome, heavy load that would
have been hard to handle anywhere.
and was doubly troublesome going up
the slope from Nassau street to Broad
way. The handcart man had to bend
over the bar and push with all his
might to keep the load moving at all.
Coming up behind him was driver
with an empty truck. drawn by a pair
of big horses. When the driver saw
what was ahead, he started up his
team little and skillfuly set the end
of the pole square in the middle OF
the rearmost bag on the handcart.
where he could push to the greatest
purpose without disturbing the load.
Thus the horses began to push the
handcart up the hill.
Ali the handcart man had to do was
to stand up, hold on to the handlebar.
and keep the handcart straight. The
big horses, guided by the friendly
driver, were doing the pushing; and
so, easily enough, the man got his load
up the rest of the slope and round to
the easy level OF Broadway.-New
