BY SAMUEL Mccoy

In preceding article, based on In
t"rvicws with manufacturers Of arsii-
cial lee IN this city, 1t was TO be noted
that they steadfastly contended that
they could not obtain increased supplies
OF natural icc-that is. in excess of the
5000 tons usually ordered. Repeatedly
asked what effort they had made to cb-
tain larger supplies, their iuvariaHle
reply was that it was useless TO attempt
it, The unavoidabIc inference must
therefore be that they had made no such
attempt.
What will be the effect upon the
health of the city during the hot weather
il shortage of ice comes upon the city !?
Dr. Wilmer krusen. Director of
Health and Charities, in an interview on
February IS said:
Tho American Ice Company reports
that It's storchouses are well supplied
with natural ice"
ON that date the American Ice Com
pany had probably less than $4,000 tons
Of natural ice in storage. Information
from officials of the company itself ff.-
dicated that the concern did not expect
TO import $1,000 tons of natural Ice,
throughout the entire year.
FREE ICE LAST SUMMER
During the summer Of 1871" said
Director Erusen. "the division OF ci,lld
hygiene distributed 1900 checks to the
poor each emitting the holder to twelve
pounds Of ice free, totaling 92,i00 pounds
of ice"
This ice approximate fifty tors, cost
the city somewhat less than $500.
, At the same time Director Krusen
called attention TO the clause in the
, rules and regulations of the Board ut
Health, pursuant to the State law APP
proved April -, 1909, which decrees
that in all dairy farms "all milk. inn,e-
dlatcly after being drawn. shall be
cooled TO n temperature below so de-
grces Fahrenheit, and shall not be al
lowed to again rise above that tempefsa-
ture, except in the process OF pasteurizfi-
ton Tho same regulation applies 40
milk kept in milk stores or shops.
Instructions issued by the Department
Of Health to mothers in regard to milk
| fed TO children read:
place all milk bottles on Ice and see
that they are kept cold until removed
for feeding.
Promptly place milk on ice as soor
as received"
In spite OF these instructions, 1850
1 babies under one year old died In Phiia.
] delphia during 1916 from diarrhoea and
enteritis, That these diseases are peciI-
/ liarly hot-weather diseases is shown by
the fact that Of the 1850, more. babies
died from them in the three hot-weather
months than in all the other nine months
put together. The lives of scores OF
babies might have been saved had their
mothers been able to obtain ice. ~

u. S. Refuses Assent
to Japan'S Proposal
Continued from Page One


Allies have been fully willing that she
act.
Among other views entertained among
the Allies was the thought that German
prisoners in Siberia would go Free cap
ture supplies at NladivostOk and else
where and give the Germans an outlet
on the Pacific. Others held similar but
less serious views of the possibilities
of German action in Siberia.
The American view puts stress both
on tho question Of necessity and the
moral effect
II is presented as an argument, not
against the japanese but upon the basis
of the effect such action would have in
Russia and elsewhere. Japan IL con-
sidered an entirely friendly ally in the
light of the Lansing-Ishii agreement.
and the whole spirit of the American
views takes that into consideration. The
views cannot be interpreted In any way
as voicing jealousy or distrlst of the
Japanese.
