FOOD Value Of
PASTEURIzED MILK
BY II. VI. WaShburn, Professor O
Dairy Husbandry, University
Of Minnesota

I'VE are making moro rapid and
substantial Improvement in this most
important branch of pure food supply
than anywhere else in the world, ,"
wrote Major II. e. Alvord, Chief of
the Dairy Division, United States De
partment of Agriculture, when dis
cussing the general milk supply Of the
country. A part Of this Improvement
Of Am erican milk has been due to
general education aong the producers,
resulting in a cleaner milk being
produced at present than ever before
supplied to cities of the same size
But in part, too, this Improvement has
been brought about by the introduce
ton of centrifugal milk CHARTERS and
the perfection of paSteurizing ma
chinery.
The best experiment conducted on
the food value and general nutritiVe
property of raw versus pasteurized
milk was carried out in Washington.
d. c.. under the George NJ. oyster, Jr.
Baby Milk Department of Agriculture
This experiment covered the period
between April "a, 1911, and October
"a. 1912 or one and one-half years, in
Guiding two summers. "In the entire
period 20 physicians and two to four
-
work. The nurses gave their entire
time and, besides being present and
helping in the examination of babies
at the stations, visited the homes of
the children. In all, 1928 babies were
prescribed for and 377,5 bottles OF
milk distributed. The records of 10
babies were not complete. OF tho
LOIS others it was found:
537 babies prescribed pasteurized
milk exclusively, showed an avera go
net gain of 0.4077 OF. per baby per
day.
351 babies prescribed raw milk on
clusively, showed an average net gai0
of O.4O3O on. per baby per day.
Difference in favor of pasteurzed
milk, O.OO47 OF. per baby per day.
10 babies prescribed both pasteur-
lied and raw milk at different times
showed:
On pasteurized milk an average net
gain of o.4607 per baby per day.
On raw milk an average net gain
of O.4312 OF. per baby per day.
Difference in favor Of pasteurized
milk, 0.0295 OF. per baby per day"
It is very evident from this test tina
pasteurizing milk does not injure it
for infant food.
LII dduieloh 10 tneSe unQanSS, tneTe
are on record the experiences of many
infant hospitals in which the success
in raising the sickly and indifferently
constituted infants that come to them
have been wonderfully icreased
through the pasteurization Of milk
It IS the universal experience Gov
er1ng all parts of the United States
and other countries that proper pas
teurizatlon improves the milk from
the bacterial without injuring it from
the nutlitional standpoint

The health board was represented
ny DR.. G. II. Hodloy and Dr. II. r.
Moore and asked $l&.616. Last ye8r
the finance board allowed $3.50 and
thus far $13,103.33 has been expend-
ed. DR.. BodlcN said his board had
prepared its estimates as cconomic<
ally as possible and had not asked
for a dollar that was not necessary.
In fact the board had failed to ask
for $3.50 for the milk station as it
did not care TO increase its own
budget by adding that of another de-
partment. Tho detailed budget asked
1922 for the slaughter house and il
was explained that although $500 was
allowed last year, the sum Of $9S7.S5
has been spent. Wagon repairs. etc.
total $500. Some mention was made
Of the proposed plan to have the
city use it's own garbage and raise
hogs but. it was explained, the plan
docs not appeal to the public
DR.. Joseph Robinson was present
and spoke for the Milk Station, tell
ing its great work. AT present 2G5
babies are being cared for by this sta
ZION. Mrs. Ira Hicks also spoke for
this station and said that another
nurse is needed and $1,000 would be
asked for her services. DR.. Robinson
also added that at present there is no
milk in the city that is really safe to
feed babies without being prepared
Others spoke in favor of giving the
Milk Station $1,000 and those in
charge said they would make y great,
er effort to secure private subscrip-
tons to carry on the wol<.
Speaking for the city hall commits
sion, W. G. Dunn asked for 81. 900
The expenses of the city building dur
ng the past year have been $24, 600
and the income $4,000. leaving
debit of $4,000. The estimates for
the coming year put the expenses at
$4,000 and the debit at $1,000. On
the recommendation Of Judge Gafney,
Mr.. Dunn will investigate and see if
the city is not to be reimbursed by
the government for the rent of tho
rooms used by the exemption boards.
The Cemetery committee was rep
resented by A. J. Sloper and $500 is
asked to pay bills. This extra cost
has been occasioncd by the opening Of
the new eastern tract. For the public
amusement commission Judge w. r,
Mangan asked for $1,000, which is
$500 less than was given last Year. 1t
was also explained that the Spanish

CONGRESS PLEASED
-. BY WILSON'S STAND
Senators and Representatives
!. Consider Address Mastery

y Washington, Feb. IA distinctly
favorable impression was made upon
=. both houses of congress by the presi-
: dents address. In the senate and
house lobbies the opinion was eX-
N,pressed that the speech was mastery.
s. The generally accepted view was
Sthat the president had meant to tell
the peoples of Germany and Austria
vthat there could be no peace based
upon the fundamentals of Prussian
eutocracy. The impression was that
" The President had pointed the way
toward peace parFeys, but that
they could not be undertaken with
out distinct regard for the rights Of
all the peoples concerned.
Senators and representa- COM
mented on the presidents severe
criticism of Count Won Hertlings at
utude on peace, as contraSted with
- the more moderate views of Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister. The prevailing opin-
q, ion was that the United States had
{. taken the ground that it was impos-
blb1e to treat with Germany as long
as her rulers adhered to the views
expressed by Won Hertling. AS for
Austr1a-Hungary, the channel was
regarded as open, if the government
Of that country wished to make use
OF 1T. for peace negotiations.
No expectation was expressed that
eparate peace might be negotiated
with the Hapsburg empire. The SEN
ator and representatives blieve that
Austria will cling to her alliance with
Germany, but they hope for Austrian
influence upon the Prussian military
autocracy to bring about a realiza-
ton of Germany's position as a. world
outcast.
Members who commented upon the
address dwelt upon the necessity, as
expressed by President Wilson, of
Eeeplng up the war until Germany
eHher Is beaten or until she rids her
self of her militaristic menace.
