No Restrictions Imposed
THAT isn't all" Mr.. Lee said. "Mr
Rockefeller also gives $4,000 600 to the
Rockefeller Foundation for immediate
distribution" and Mr.. Lee gave out
this statement:
The trustees Of the Rockefeller
Foundation announce receipt Of gift
FROM Mr.. John D. Rockefeller of
$50 600 600.
In transmitting the gift Mr.. Rocke-
feller specif cally authorizes the trus-
tees to utilize both principal and in
come for any of the corporate purposes
Of the Foundation which, IS stated in
the charter, are TO promote the well
being of mankind throughout the
world

will be continued. The work is now
going on in twelve Southern States of
this country and in fifteen foreign
countries.
"'The International Health Board
also will continue its experiments and
demonstrations in the control of
malaria. Experience has shown that
at relatively small expense convincing
results can be obtained through CO.
operation with public health authori-
ties and with local communities.
"'The Rockefeller Foundation is also
financing, through the China Medical
Board the development of two large
and thoroughly equipped medical col.
at Peking, the other soon to be begun
at Shanghai and the deve lopmcnt of
other medical work in China.
"'To promote higher standards in
medicine and public health, interna-
tional fellowships are being granted to
approximately one hundred students of
foreign countries who are pursuing
courses in many medical centers in the
United States
"Prior to the receipt of the new gift
from Mr.. Rockefeller it had been esti-
mated that the income of the Rookie
feller Foundation for 1920 would
amount to $6,5O0,00O, of which all but
$335,000 had already been appro-
priatcd.'
Foundation Is Not Restricted
1t was learned that Mr. Rockefeller
recently has been greatly interested in
the various campaigns undertaken by
the educational institutions OF the
United States looking to an increase
of endowment and income. Aggregated
these drives" aimcd at a Grand total
of $l50,000000. MI Rockefeller's gift
Of $4,000, 600, in one way of looking at
it, is giving about one-third the de
sired total, on the theory that the off
GERS and members of the general edu-
cation board will carefully look into
the merits of all of the efforts under
way.
While the gifts to the general cdu-
cation board are limited in their dis
tribution to the United States. this is
not the case with the Rockefeller

Aid for Canadian Medical Schools
"Mr. Rockefeller also alludes to the
recent gift of S20,000,000 to the Cen
eral Education Board to promote medi-
cal education in the United States, and
then adds:
"'My attention has been called to
the needs of some of the med
ical schools in Canada. but as
tion Board are by its charter linn
tied to the United States under
stand that gift may not be used for
Canadian schools. The Canadian
people are our near neighbors. They
are closely bound to us by ties Of
race, language and international
friendship; and they have without
stint sacrificed themselves, their
youth and their resources to the end
that democracy might be saved and
extended. For these reasons if your
board should see fit to use any part
of this new gift in promoting medi-
cal education in Canada such action
would meet with my cordial ap-
prevail
"'rhis last gift makes the total re-
ceived by the Foundation from Mr..
Rockefeller $182 900 900. of whichh both
income and principal were made avail
able for appropriation. In 19l7-18
s5,ooo,0O0 from the principal was ap-
proprated for war work

"With reference to the most recent
Cf coll o,tc
F.. Vincent, president Of the Foundation,
makes this statement:
In order to carry out Mr.. Rookie
feller's suggestion concerning Canadian
medical schools, the trustees of the
Foundation will be asked by the Off
GERS to set aside approximately SIS OOO,-
600 for the Improvement and develop
ment of the leading medical schools of
the Dominion. From this sum appro-
priations will be made by the Founda-
ton to medical schools on condition
that they raise additional funds from
other sources. 1t is hoped that s. ,O00,-
600 thus employed by the Foundation
at this time will give distinct impetus
to the development Of medical cduca-
tion in Canada.
"The new gift will also enable the
Foundation to extend work already in
progress in medical education and pub
lie health in many parts of the world.

Horton Says:
EUery important in the process of developing
supply of safe milk for New York's babies has
been fathered by The Sheffield Company

Z read stories, printed almost daily,
written for the apparent purpose of
showing that the greed and ra
pacity Of the milk distributor is respon-
sble for the annual loss of thousands of
infant lives.
Nowhere in these stories do find
any reference to the fact that The Shef-
field Company has devoted it's time
and it's resources to the work of develop
ing milk knowledge, and then giving to
the world milk truths that have helped
to- make the whole country's milk safer.
The research work done in the Shef-
field plants has first been applied to our
own supply. Afterwards it was open to
any one who cared to be helped by it.
Our plants and our methods have
been open to milk dealers, physicians
and research workers. AS a result,
wherever you find an up to date milk
distributor you will find Sheffield
methods.
The first laboratory (worthy of the
name) devoted to the study of CONNER
cial milk was established in our 57th St.
plant in 1906
The experiments in milk pasteuriza-
ton which definitely determined the
methods by which ABSOLUTELY
SAFE MILK could be assured were con-
Quoted under Sheffield auspices in a
Sheffield Plant with Sheffield milk and
Sheffield money by DR.. M. J. Roseneau
of Harvard University, and Dr. William
H. Park, Chief Bacteriologist of the CITY
of New York.
The experiments were conducted in
the old Sheffield plant at 13Oth St. and
Broadway in 1911. DR.. Park and Dr.
ROseneau devoted six months to the
work and contributed their services free
of charge.
The result was to establish for all
time, just what temperatures and lust
what duration of heat was necessary to
render milk absolutely safe.
The work was exhaustive to the
highest degree
1t determined definitely just what
was needed to eliminate the one uncer-
talnty about nilk-that distressing DOS
slblllty that it might harbor subtle in
lection.

After these experiments were con-
cluded the results were given to the
world in printed form.

could have it if he cared to take the

Letter to Literary Digest
And the Truth in the Case

In the Literary Digest for November g. page 20, under
'Topics In Brief" is printed the following:
1.-THE attack on Mayor Ed p. Smith Of Omaha said
in Omaha dispatches be partly due the fact that
the law firm of which the member had recently
defended two negroes charged with crimes against white
This widely circulated report which was mem
toned in issue of October H. is branded "abso
utey untrue" by Mrs Smith, who asks us tell read
that 'he firm to which MIR. Smith belongs to de-
fend colored that is accused of killing colored
and not for any crime against white The
mob knew nothing about this and attacked Mr.. Smith
because he would not yield to mob rule"
Now Defending Negro.
The Literary Digest has worldwide reputation and
that reputation has been built principally upon TRUTH
upon it's fairness in matters discussed and individuals in
volved When this great weekly newspaper made this
traction upon the word of Mrs Smith took for granted the
wife of the mayor knew what she writing.
But unfortunately for the Literary Digest Mayor Smith
and Mrs Smith, the statement of Mrs Smith is absolutely
true and the very day that the Literary Digest in which
the letter printed appeared sale in Omaha Attorney

Police Chase Chicago
Lad Who Called Them
"Bolsheviki Tramps .

Four detectives gave chase for
four blocks yesterday to youth
learned to be Frank Divisek of
Chicago when he darted from the
Central police station after shout
ing: Chase me, you bolsheviki
tramps.""
He was overtaken at Thirteenth
and Douglas streets and brought
back to the station. The boy, ap-
parently 20 years old, is thought to
be demented. He was taken to the
county Jail, where a charge of in
sanity was filed against him.
On the way to the court house in
the police patrol, Divisek attempted
to escape by leaping from the car,
after pushing Policeman Munich
bodily from the rear step. He ran
half block when he spied an army
sergeant on Dodge street. That's

yelled.
The youth said he had been in
the army and saw service in
France. His parents in Chicago
were notified of. the boys condition.

RECENT SUICIDE
! DRAWS BELATED
SEARCH ORDER
Following Death Of Demented
Woman In City Jail, Chief
Of Police Issues
EdiCt.

Following the suicide OF Mrs.
Jennie Wheeler. of Salem, S. d. in
the matron's ward of the city Jail
last Tuesday, Police Chief Eber-
stein has issued a belated order
that all prisoners in the future must
be searched when they are booked
at the station.
Mrs. Wheeler, who was said to
have been demented, was taken into
custody at the Union depot and az
lowed to retain a revolver, which
she was carrying in q grip. The
woman's peculiar actions and her
highly nervous condition did, not
prompt the officers at the station
to take the ordinary precaution to
look for a deadly weapon either on
Mrs. Wheeler's person or>>in her
grip.
The revolver with which the
woman took her own life was Sc
cluded in her grip for more than
"a hours before she turned the
weapon on herself. So far as is
known, neither the matron nor a
single policeman opened the grip.
Pursuant to the severe con-
domination of the heads of the de-
partment on this account, and fol-
lowing rumors that relatives of the
dead woman will sue the city, Chief
Eberstein issued orders that a re-
currence OF similar affair shall be
guarded against by using the every
day precaution which is exercised
by police departments in every
other metropolitan city in the coun-
try.
Chief Eberstein's order, however,
does not make mention Of the fact
that in the future when demented
persons are taken into custody they
should be booked at the police sta
ton. This is required by law, Mrs.
Wheeler was not booked.
