reau states. Persons who willfulIy
seek to cvade the tax are liable to

14-CENT MILK
MEANSSAV|NG
OF 100000
Or. w. c. Fowler Estimates
Costs Will Be Cut So for
Every Person in District.

Washington residents will save
nearly S2,OOO,OOO on the purchase price
( OF milk during the coming year by
the prices of 80 cents a gallon whole
sale and Il cents a quar-; retail.
These figures were given out today
by DR.. William c. Fowler, District
health officer. who, with the Feder.,-
ton of Citizens Associations and the
Housekeepers' Alliance, has been en-
gagged in A successful fight to lower
milk prices.
There are approximately 1859
gallons of milk shipped into Wash
ingtOn for distribution among the
consumers every day" said DR.. Fow.
Ter.
a2,23O.O4 a Day saved.
"The price of 6.135 gallons of this
daily supply has been reduced u
cents a gallon retail, which means a
total reduction of S7S6.2O; another
1928 gallons has been reduced s
cents a gallon, retail. a saving Of
E.29O.25 a day; the remaining 5000
gallons has been reduced cents a
sallon retail, a saving of S2O3.6O.
Therefore, the total saving to the con
sumers in Washington is f2,23OO4 "A
day. or Ss13.964.16 a year.
This means a having of 81 for
every man. woman. and child in
Washington, or an average saving of
$40 year for every household of
hYe persons, a substantial sum for
just one article of food.
The figures given by DR.. Fowler
SHOW the saving to the consumer as
result of the reduction IN milk
prices. The dealer. too, is benefited
by the drop in price as he pays on an
avearge OF s cents gallon less for
milk now than before the FIRST Of
May.
Dealers Save Also.
Since 2T,353 gallons of milk are
brought into Washington daily bv
local dealers. the drop of S cents a
gallon in price means a saving OF

Providence Hospitals
Clinic Is Blessing To
Poor of Washington

Providence Hospital has the most
complete dispensary system for treat
ing the injuries and sickness OF the
poor in Washington today. 1t is
called the psychiatrical clinic, which
sounds big, but means only a place
where elements of health may be
made to agree
The work OF the clinic was extend,
cd recently to include facilities for
treating every possible disease. all
ment. sickness. and injury known to
medical science. 1t even undertakes
to treat morale. When a persons
spirit is broken as well as his body,
the social service work department
takes the case.
The free public clinic averages sixty
cases a day. and the sisters of char
ity, who have charge Of the work un.
der Sister Mary Burchman, say that
they want more patients. There IL
room for extension of this work and
VIC want IL done" said one sister.
Charge Of 10 Cents Made.
1t is a place where one who feels
illness coming on may go and ind

eases have come to the hospital. The

II you have a bad cold. sore throat,
grippe, the doctor will direct you to
the medical ward. Here another doc.
tor will give you a prescription. A
nominal charge OF 10 cents is asked
rom everyone. Some give IL. some
10 not. All right" say the sisters.
II you want the prescription filled
you go into another room, where II Is
filled free of charge by the pharma.
cist.
often the doctors want you to come
again. II you do not like medicine
and do not want TO get well, as many
do. you stay home. In a few hours
after you were supposed TO have seen
the doctor. a social service worker,
volunteer. will visit you. She will
urge you TO come for your treatment
you will go in the end.
Help Girl Keep sight.
The sisters tell Of one girl who
was losing her eyesight and would
not take the treatment She was
visited at her home every day. and at
last consented. When she began to
recover her family left Washington,
the social service department traced
them to Virginia. she was visited
there again and again. Now she Is on
the road to recovery.
Many times bad health has been
traced TO the teeth. The person whose
teeth arc affected is directed into the
dental ward.
II you are a nervous wreck" tell
the doctor so. He@ill escort you into
the room where you will be cured In a.
short time. All kinds OF mental dis
orders and nervous strains are fixed
right here.
The Washington times., 1919-05-05

I II you have q skin disease, the sis
ters have an electrical cure for it. Ii
Is the most complete way of ending
skia diseases. The orthopedic ward
is &Aother important and popular
place. There all kinds. of deformities
are treated. Miracles. almost. have
been performed in that ward by the
Sisters OF Charity.
Children Like Clinic.
The clinic is popular among the
children in the vicinity Of the Capitol
Johnnie knows that If Willie breaks
his arm pitching for the Capitol Hill
baseball team he can 60 see Sister
Burchmah, who will take him to
doctor and have his arm straight
ened.''
This work is done in the ward for
broken limbs. II you have a weak
back or a crooked leg. the sisters will
make a plaster of paris mold for you
to flx 1t up.
The social service work is in charge
OF Miss Clara Ross, and carried on
with the help OF the National Catholic
War Council. II IL principally TO help
in the home and families, the hospital
takes care OF those who come. The
social end takes care OF those who do
not.
"Often we get patients rom the REQ
Cross and other welfare organiza-
tions," says Sister Burchman. 1--WE
aim to help all. and men in the serv-
ice OF Uncle Sam are especially well
come. Our work is not limited to the
southeast. We get calls from people
all over Washington"
Another important phase OF tho
dispensary work is the system for
treating troubles of the eye, ear.
nose and throat. Much good has
been worked in this department in
the few months that the clinic has
been operated on the present exten-
sive scale.
Day Nursery for ChIIdren.
And there is the day nursery for
the children who feel sick. This is
a place where the young ones who
nevt,. played are taught TO play.
Those who never smiled. always
smile. Those who lived on bread and
tea, are taught TO like fruits and
vegetables.
Emergency cases are often brought
TO the Providence. Always facilities
are at hand for attending them.
From ten to twelve wards have op-
Grating tables.
Every day the scope OF these sis
ters' work is being extended. While
the doctors are coming back from
war, and everything Is getting right
