WILEY SAYS LIQUID
MILK IS OBSOLETE

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, formerly
chief chemist for the Agricultural
Department, has consented TO serve
as a director on the local committee
of Free Milk for France. DIR. Wiley
yesterday declared himself in full
sympathy with the plan OF the organ
ization to send a ton of powdered
milk daily to feed the babies of
France.
DIR. Wiley was asked il. in his
judgment, powdered milk was az val
liable as a tissue builder as the fluid
in its original form.
"Emphatically So" responded the
noted physician. in fact. have al
ways contended that IL is the very
best way to treat milk. In such form
you preserve oil that is pure and
wholesome in it, and the treatment
to which IL is subjected destroys any
bacteria calculated to do injury 10
the consumer. OF course, the process
should be of such a character as to
guarantee that the proportions to
protein shall not be disturbed But
this is a simple matter to determine
simple to science. l mean.
Il have often thought that would
like to install a milk-drying process
on my farm If ! did this ] could
send couple OF pounds of dried milk
to a friend at a total transportation
cost of 6 cents. This would last a
baby a week, or perhaps longer"
DIR. Wiley said that he looked for
the time when transportation of milk in
fluid form would cease and its d.
livery TO consumers would be made by
parcels post or express by the pow
dered method. He said education oniv
was necessary TO convince citizens gen.
orally that the present costly method
is wastefhI and unnecessary.
BY the new method the cost uf
transportation would be so reduced as
to cease 10 figure as an overhead e2-
