MAKES HIS REJO|NDER
Maintains His Right to Speak for
the Dairymen of Washington in
Reply to Health Officer.

To the Editor Of The Star:
DIR. Woodward challenges my right
to speak for the dairymen Of Wash
ington. The records of the Police
Court will show that I appeared as
counsel for pra ctically all of the per-
sons that are engaged in the sale of
not who my clients are or who they
are not DR.. Woodward has made the
bold statement that filthy. decomposed
and unwfolesome milk is being sold
in Washington. that by reason thereof
children are being killed That is the
question that the public is interested
In. I showed how he could prevent
this. ! showed that the test cases do
not in any way interfere with his
prosecuting the sellers of this milk
that is killing Infants, provided he
er law and in the proper court
l charged that he convicted himself
OF dereliction of duty in saying such
milk is being sold here and not pre-
venting Its sale. He answers by say
ing that he could not libel and con-
denim the milk because he has not the
evidence of its impurity, and that he
could not procure the evidence of its
impurity until after the milk was sold
If he has not the evidence of its i'm
purity why does he try to scare the
public If he has the evidence of its
impurity. even after It has been sold.
why does he not bring prosecutions in
the Supreme Court of the District
against the dealers? While she NAV be
correct in his statements that he could
not libel and condemn milk that had
already been sold he could and should
prosecute the dealer who has sold 1t.

Woodward explain how he could protect

Work.

Gifts.
PARTIAL REPORT MADE

Partial reports from the city cam
Ipaign for the work OF the Woman's
War council have been made to Mrs.
c. NJ. Rich. chairman. by the treas
urer. Miss Buck. Indications are
that Keokuk as usual will go over the
top The quota given this city to
raise was $1,000, and that amount
had been about reached last night.
Some pledges Of special interest have
been made. showing that the employ
ed girls at home wish to help keep
safe the women employed about
camps and environments and to help
provide for their needs as well as to
support the other phases Of the work.
The girls in the Purity Oats factory
gave a total OF $3.50 and all signed
the patriotic league pledge. In adj
dition to the gift Of 500 made by
the Business Wornan's league, num-
Der of the girls have made personal
pledges. One member yesterday sent
a pledge for $25, accompanied by a
letter, the spirit OF which was worth
much more.
1t is said by the national organiza-
ton that the largest pledge made
any place for this war work was made
by girl whose wages were S. a
week, and who gave 81 a week for
three months. Twenty per cent OF
her income is large gift for any one
to make.
