/ fetal inspection that any possible
lapses by their employees may be
quickly corrected.
The result is that the milk supply
OF the District is in a way TO attain
perfection OF health requirements
as high as any on the continent
The recent victory in the Federal Su-
preme Court-confirming the author
ity Of the District Police Court to
try violators OF the milk regulations
gives the Health Department the
needed weapon to enforce modern
cleanliness Of the milk supplies and
freedom from dangers arising from
infected milk or milk not up to the
standard-"nine and three-tenths per
cent OF milk solids, inclusive of fats"
The rules are not oppressive, COM
pared with those prevailing in other
up-to-date communities. The diseases
against which the law specifically
guards-presence of which in a dairy
causes cancellation Of the license to
sell here-are:
'Diphtheria, scarlet fever, erysipe-
las, smallpox, anthrax, Asiatic chol-
era, splenic fever, tuberculosis,
typhoid fever, typhus, yellow fever,
or other contagious diseases"
Other Regulations.
There are rules compelling properly
lighted stables, examination Of cows
and bulls for evidence OF tubercu-
losis and the instant killing or re-
moval Of animals thus infected, and
for such other sanitary operations as
will insure the delivery Of milk of
approved richness and freedom from
injury to the health of the consumer.
II milk be permitted to come into
the District from diaries beyond the
inspection jurisdiction OF District Of
ficials, then there will be no means
Of knowing whether any OF the malig-
nant diseases specified in the law are
present in the diaries producing It
There might easily be a tubercular
herd-such herds have been found on
farms apparently high class-of
which almost all of the animals are
tubercular. The milk would come
from that farm to Washington; it
would be, according to the proposal,
inspected and treated here" and per-
haps the potential infection from 1t
removed-perhaps not.
The District officials would have
The Washington times., 1918-07-19

no possible means Of knowing the
conditions on the farms whence the
milk came. They could only do their
best to remove infection dangers
after the milk had been produced and
brought here for sale.
No Safety Assured
The best system OF milk inspec-
ton cannot give absolute insurance
against occasional injury to health
through bad milk. or prevent the oc'
casional defrauding of the consumer
bv the selling Of milk that is below
the required standard o. richness
"nine and three-tenths per cent OF
milk solids, inclusive OF fats"-so
that there always is a degree OF
danger that disease-inducing milk
shall be sold, and that milk that is
not nutritious for children-or for
any one, for that matters delivered
to the consumer.
More and more, the people are
learning that good milk is one OF the
vital essentials to the preservation
Of the health of babies. The Chill
dren's Bureau Of the Federal Govern
ment is now conducting a nationwide
propaganda known as the Children's
Year Campaign, to raise the standard
OF living IN IdIllilSS "hSLS IASAS a.
little children, and to teach the moth
ers better methods OF rearing and
nourishinE their little ones.
This campaign Is based on the ut
tered statement to the mothers that
food should be Of approved standard
and all conditinos surrounding young
children sanitary, The strength of
the Children's Year Campaign would
diminish in the proportion that the
legally constituted authorities lower
ed the bars for the incoming Of milk
or other food that had not been in
sured as of standard qualities and
known to be so by official inspection
of officials here.
Infection Danger.
The dangers Of infection increase
as population densines The populeN
ton of the District is larger by 1OO,-
900 than it was when this country
declared a state Of war. The dangers
multiply. not in arithmetical ratio to
the increase of population, but in geo.
metrical ratio-increase faster than
the population increases. The Dis
trict is over-crowded, and food sup
plies as carriers" OF disease may cas-
lily, under the conditions, subject the
people to added perils.
II Is the consensus Of opinion that,
instead Of relaxing the rules as TO milk
or other foodstuffs. there should be
extra care and that no precaution should
be ommitted that would tend to elm
mate injury to health from food con-
sumption.

D. c. MEAT PRICES
OFFICIALLY HELD
TOBE IN REASON

Charges that prices OF meats are
higher in Washington than In other
cities throughout the country today
are denied by the Department Of
Labor, Bureau OF Labor Statistics, in
an official statement
The bureau states that II does not
wish to defend prices charged in
Washington or in any other city, but
to correct an erroneous impression
that has been fostered among the
people here.
Comparisons have been made by
the bureau Of prices effective in April.
On April Is Philadelphia was higher
than Washington on four out Of I'VE
cuts OF beef. says the bureau. New
York was higher on two OF the I'VE
quotations. Baltimore was higher on
plate beef. Scranton higher on rib
roast. Prices in eight cities were
higher on sirloin steaks, in six cities
higher on round steaks, eleven cities
higher on plate boiling beef, twenty
Ave cities higher on bacon (slicedl,
and one other city had exactly the
same price: three cities higher on leg
Of lamb, twenty-one cities higher on
canned salmon Only three out of
forty-six cities were cheaper on all
meats than Washington. The others
were higher.
The bureau points out that Of the
eight cities where meat prices are
lower than in Washington, four are
Western cities selling Western meats,
and that the comparison Is not fair.
The four cities were Los Angeles,
San Francisco, St Louis and Chicago.
Prices during June also have been
compiled for fifty cities. These hg-
ures show an increase in prices OF
food, as an average, all over the
country, OF sc per cent in I'VE years
In one year. from June Is, 1917, to
June Is, 1918, prices increased Z per
cent
II prices in Washington were com
pared on June Is with other nearby
cities, II would show that OF the
twenty-eight articles OF food shown
by the bureau prices were higher in
Philadelphia for ten articles, in New
York for seven articles. in Baltimore
four articles and In Scranton eight
articles
Philadelphia dealers charged more
for sirloin steak. round steak, ham,
eggs, butter, cheese, -four. corn meal,
rice and potatoes.
New York was higher for plate
boiling beef, eggs, cheese, -four, corn
meal, potatoes and onions.
Baltimore is higher for plate boil
ing beef, ham, -four and corn meal
Scranton was higher for plate boil
ing beef, sliced bacon, canned salmon.
eggs, flour, corn meal, sugar and eof-
fee. The price of bread was the
same.
on June IS Washington had the
lowest prices for flour and corn meal,
he price OF cheese was lower than
IN New York, Philadelphia or Balti-
more: the price OF eggs lower than
In New York, Philadelphia or Scran-
ton; the price of potatoes lower,
while bread was higher in this city
than any OF the others.
The cities chosen by the bureau for
comparison are in the same territory
of distribution with Washington and
therefore susceptible to such COM
parison. where cities of the West or
the South could not be compared with
success.
The announcement says:
