FACTS ABOUT MILK
w. L. Dodd, Expert, Gives Scientific : and Hygienic Reasons Why It Is
 Wise to be Particular.

w L. Dodd a laboratory expert, who has come here to make a sclen- water supply, as a feature of the health survey that is being made here,
 gave out the following Friday af- ternoon, relative to the dangers that
 may lurk in milk, this being in line with the Save the Seventh Baby cam paign:
 If babies were scalded to death in l milk there would be more agitation. Dirty milk produces just as fatal re- suits as scalding, but the results are slower. The very fact that milk is white makes it hard to make a per son understand that it may be dan gerous. Its whiteness gives it an ap- parent cloak of purity.
 If milk were clear solution, like
 beef tea, we could tell when it's germ
 population became too high, as it would turn cloudy. No such change can be meted in milk because it is | opaque.
 In, the first place let it be under | is to be breast-fed. You can't inn l prove. on Natures intentions, but if baby is to receive cows milk 1t should | he clean cows milk. Dirty milk is dangerous milk, not because it will contain germs which are more apt to 1 produce a rotten, purifying milk than | 9 milk which sours. Most of the dirt l is cow manure, dropping into the milk a COW, and especially when wide-top pail is used for milking.
 Bacteria clings to dirt, so dirt in milk means a high bacterial count. What difference does it make if the milk contains a few germs, anyway l? It makes this difference: The stomach and intestines of an adult are usually l hardened up to a point whSHH it will stand almost anything, but the ten 1 der mucous membrane of a baby is easily injured.
 L. A noted public health authority. | Professor Rosenau of Harvard uni ! Iversity., gives several reasons why dir | ty miiH may be of harm to the baby. It may. contain yeast that may fer n1ent in the bowels, filling them with gas, producing paralysis and even causing. death: it may contain germs which set up putrificaGon in the bow | els, and there germs have been found I in many cases of illness among ba- bies. Germs found in the soil may get in and cause fatal diarThoea. Per haps a little comparison may give a little better idea of the high number of bacteria in milk. A.~
 The milk in one large city in the south showed bacterial counts run hing from 700, 900 germs to 1,50o,O00 to one drop of milk.
 l. The, average. number of germs in sewage is 300, 900 in each drop. High count milk is as filthy to drink from It's germ count as a glass of sewage. | There is room for improvement here in Putnam. Friday afternoon in glancing over some death notices for Infants I found that out of 2S deaths t.that eight were due to bowel trou- bies. How many of these lives were 5snuffed out because of dirty milk ? How many will be lost this coulin g summer? Farmers here are willing to lepredaee clean milk, but they must be paid a fair price for. the extra ex- pense for labor and utensils necessary to produce good, clean milk.
 The average consumer will grumlole

Antonio, and Jamaica. No imagina ton can picture the destruction to life and property which would have followed this eruption had it occurred in a thickly populated section of the Uni ted States instead of in a remote sec ton of Alaska twenty five miles in land.
 If Vesuvius should ever erupt with the violence of Katmai, Naples wculd be buried under 15 feet of ashes, Rome would be covered a foot deep, the sound would be heard in Paris, and ashes would fall in Brussels and Der lin.
 Just as the richest vineyards of Italy grow on the soil which in years past has been fertilizsd by the seeth- ing lava from the craters of Aetna and Vesuvius, the National Geographic So- ciety Katmai Expeditions have found that the nearby island of Kodiak, which at first seemed to have been utterly laid waste by the volcanic ashes, is now more fertile than ever before and it's people declare that the eruption was the best thing that ever happened for us.'

ANOTHER kATMAI EXPEDITION
 READY TO LEAVE
National Geographic Society Sending Investigating Party for Fourth Year.
Especial to The Bulletin. )

Washington, D. C., May 18.-Gilbert H. Grosvenor, Director of the Nation al Geographic Society, announced to- day the completion of all arrangements for the Society's 1917 Katmai Expedi- 1 tion. The exploration party under the direction of Robert F. Griggs, of the Ohio State University, will sail from Seattle on May 18th. The expedition will complete the investigations begun I by the Society in 1913, 1915 and 1916 of that region in Alaska affected by the | eruption of June 1912, one of the most | tremendous volcanic explosions ever 1 recorded.
 For the complete equipment, trans portation and work of the expedition | the Society has appropriated s12,000. and it's researches will be accomplished between the early part of June, when | the party reaches Katmai Bay. and it's return to civilization the middle of l September. The work will be more thorough and exhaustive than any 1 previous investigation ever undertaken in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes"
 The personnel of the exploring party | will be as follows: Robert F. Griggs l tdirector). botanist, Ohio State Univer
 sity. Columbus. Ohio: Clarence F. C.; James S. Hine, zoologist, Ohio State University Columbus, O.; J. W. Ship ley, chemist, Manitoba Agricultural College, Winnepeg, Man; D. B. Church, '. Sayre. botanist and packer, Townville. Pa; Paul R. Hagelbarger, botanist and | packer. Akron. O.; Lucius G. Folsom, packer, Kodiak, Alaska; Walter Mat Kodiak, Alaska; and Andre Lore, pack | CT and noted hunter, Kodiak, Alaska. The katnai volcanic explosion, the | effects of which the exploring party l will study, ranks easily among the 12 most violent in the history of the world.
 Prior to this cataclysm of nature Krakatoa had held first place in the minds of most people, but the quantity | of material thrown out by Katmai was | vastly greater and it is estimat ted that | the whole of the island of Krakato could be dropped into the Katmai era ter.
 l In order to present a mental picture | of the extent of the territory affected | by this eruption Prof. Griggs has pointed out that if sucf/an outburst | had centered in New York City the whole of Greater New York would have been buried under from ten to fifteen feet of ashes and would have been subjected to unimaginable horrors from hot gases. The column of steam and ashes would have been plainly visible beyond Albany. and the continued ac- tivity of the volcano would have pre- vented anyone approaching the ruins nearer than Patterson, N. J., for sev- eral months.
 Philadelphia would have been GOV cred by twelve inches of gray ash and would have groped in total darkness | for sixty hours. Washington and Buff falo would have received a quarter of an inch of ash baptism, accom- panied by shorter period of darkness. Small quantities Of ash would have fallen throughout the Eastern States as far south as the gulf coast. The sound of the explosion would have been heard in Atlanta and St Louis and the fumes
