Tho Board OF Commerce has or

H READ stories, printed almost daily,
written for the apparent purpose of
- showing that the greed and ra-
pacity of the milk distributor is respon-
sible for the annual loss of thousands of
infants lives.
Nowhere in these stories do find
any reference to the fact that The Shelf
field Company has devoted its time
and its 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 Shelf
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.
TheDf 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
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 l3Oth 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 just
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-
tainty about milk-that distressing pos
sibility that it might harbor subtle in
fiction.

Horton SAYS:
EUevy important mOUe in the process of deUeLOpin
a supply of safe milk for NeU YOrlt's babies has
been fathered by The Sheffield COmpany.I.H

After these experiments were con-
Guided the results were given to the
world in printed form.
Any dealer that wanted safe milk
could have it if he cared to take the trouble
to make it safe.
I BELIEVE MORE WAS DONE
TO SAVE THE BABIES IN THOSE
SIX MONTHS THAN IN ANY
OTHER SIX MONTHS SINCE
TIME BEGAN.
And it was not done for CONNER
cial reasons, it was not done to pay fat
dividends.
1t was done for the purpose of CIV
ing to the children of New York just
what they had right to expect, safe
milk.
Not only have lived to see world
wide recognition of the value of our
methods of pasteurization, but have
been able through the years to watch
the ever decreasing death rate among
the little ones and to know that the de-
Ginning rate closely paralleled the gradual
adoption by other dealers of Sheffield
Methods.
Look at the New York City death
rate from dlarThOeal diseases IN ChlldIen
under years of age in the year before
began pasteurizing. In 1901 nearly Is
children out of every 1000 died from this
cause. The exact figure is l4.e.
Take the year 1913, the rate has been
reduced to Al. That means that 10 lives
in every thousand have been saved and
given an opportunity for usefulness.
I know that other factors have
helped to save the lives of these children.
l deny credit to none of them. But do
believe that the most important factor
in this great work has been Sheffield
Perfectly Pasteurized Milk. Not alone
has it helped those who got Sheffield
milk, but the entire milk distributing in
dustry has been raised to higher stand
ard through the emulation of Sheffield
methods.
The facts here presented are incon-
trovertible. They have called me baby
killer. No honest man who examines
the facts will say this again.

7HIN PEOPLE SHOWD TAKE
 PHOSPHATE
Says nothing like plain Arso-Phos- php.. .n put cn Grru, solid, stny there flesh nnl muscle and increase strength, vim, vigor and nerve
 force.

Physicians claim there is nothing that will increase weight, strength and endurance like organic phos- phate commonly known by druggists as argo-phosphate; it is inexpensive and is sold by all leading druggists everywhere under a guarantee to give satisfaction or money refunded. Weakness and thinness are usually due to starved nervous conditions.
 Our bodies need more phosphates than are contained in the foods we eat.
 If you wish a more roNnded figure and plump well-developed arms, neck and bust in place of hollows you should simply take plain aryo-phos- phate as it builds up and restores rundown nervous conditions by phosphatizing the system. 1t trans forms the appearance and an increase in weight is often times quickly pro- duced.
 The increase in weight also aids in improving the general health Sleep lessneses, nervousness, lack of ener~ gy and ambition quickly disappear.
 Pale cheeks are changed to rosy ones and dull eyes become bright.
 Miss Lena Brown of Atlanta, Ca, who only weighed 90 pounds reports that she gained 10 pounds in two weeks time and says argo-phosphatc has made a different person of her and she has never felt better in her life. a.
 SPECIAL NOTICE:-Owing to the fact that so many physicians and druggists are recommending argo- phosphate for relieving all nervous, worn-out debilitated conditions and the unusually large sale for argo- phosphate there will be found in the market numerous substitutes for the genuine article. All limitations arc inferior preparations and owing to it's unusual flesh producing qualities it should not be used by any one unless they desire to put on flesh and increase in weight.

Danger in Raw Pork

At this season there is especial danger of illness following the eat ing of pork that is raw or only par tially cooked. Of course, most Americans do not knowingly consume uncooked porok, although it is eaten not infrequently either as raw ham or in sausages that have been in sufficiently cooked. At hog-killing time particularly there are many homemade meat products prepared on the farm, and consequently special care should be taken to make sure that pork, before it is eaten, is suffi- ciently cooked.
 The disease known as trichinosis, which may result from eating raw or imperfectly cooked pork, is caused by microscopic worms known as tri- chinae. These parasites in years past have been found to be present in 1 out of Fl hogs, and if the pres ence of dead trichinae and trichina- like bodies is included in the count, an average of 1 out of evefy 39 hogs has been found affected. Unlike many other infectious diseases, the severity of the attack of trichinosis depends upon the number of para sites swallowed. Large quantities of slightly infected pork must be eaten in order to produce bad effects; but, on the other hand, severe illness may be caused by eating small amounts of pork that is heavily infected.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

took of the Bacillus botulinus a dead ly though microscopic bug, through the medium of ripe olives. The health authorities of the Michigan city immediately put the blame on the new fangled canning method and warned the public against all foods canned by the cold-pack. Now, the United States Department of Agri- culture steps into the the controversy to insist that ripe olives are not canned by the cold-pack method, that decayed products are the cause of Bacillus botulinus and that if the public will only trust to their sense of smell they need not fear canned products. If the contents of can or bottle smells suspicious, throw it away. Your nose knows.
 Miss M. E. Spragae, state home de- monstration leader, with headquar- ters at Connecticut Agricultural Col lege at Storrs, says that thousands of Connecticut women have been using the cold-pack method for two or three years, with no reported cases of harm. The ccld-pack has been proven much more effective than former systems.
 ''New England housewives intui- lively know that if foods give off the odor of decay they are not fit for con- sumption, says Miss Sprague. "They also know that if one can out of thousands fails to keep it is not proof that the method is wrong. Women who have been using the cold-pack method will not be alarmed over re- ports such as that from Detroit. Women who used the method this year for the first time should be in- formed that no definite case of poi soning as direct result of the cold pack method has ever been proven. Any spoiled food may be dange.ooG, whether canned or not.

work they do for crippled children at the Society's Home for such children at Newington. She has a crippled child, little Nell, over whom she is deeply troubled. Her husband con- siders the child only a bother and is frequently unkind and even abusive toward her. 1t does not seem to the mother as if she can bear to see the child suffer any longer. If she could only get her away where she would have kind care and necessary doctors attention, perhaps she might get we'll and strong like other children. The mother earns some money each week washing and cleaning for a neighbor and she would gladly pay something for little Nell's board. Perhaps she could even persuade the father to contribute a little something too Again the trained worker listens kindly and after getting an ;at,ii- gent idea of the home conditions, she sends the little mother away with hope in her heart for the first time in many months, for the mother has found in the worker a sympathetic friend who seems to understand and who promises that little Nell shall be helped if possible.
 A woman with a kindly face is the next caller. She has brought up a family of girls and boys and now they have gone out from the home and she and her husband are lonely. They have talked it over and feel that they must have some children in the home. They are not so particu- lar who the children are if only they need home and she and her hus- band can help. The office worker makes a mental note-perhaps, who knows, this may be just the home for some of those little ones whose moth CT has died. But first, she must send qoIne cne of the Society's Visitors, who is trained to recognize the ear marks of good home, to make sure that the home is satisfactory and the right one for little Mary and Pat and Joe, and the rest. One must be quite sure about things when it comes to dealing with human destinies, for the future of all the little Marys and Pats and Joes that the Society cares for, is going to depend a great deal upon the homes where they are | placed.
 The Connecticut Children's Aid Society has no Institution to provide for the normal dependent children | of the state because it believes that such children are better off in care fully selected private homes-real, truly homes, spelled with a small "h" and with a mother and father. Dur ing the year ending October 1, 1919, three hundred and fifty-seven chil- ! dren were cared for in homes such as these.
 1 But there are more children who come to the office, borne in the arms of a widowed mother or toddling be- side a father whose wife has died or deserted or who are referred by some other philanthropic organization, than there are kind faced motherly women who are eager to give them a home, and so the full time of two trained workers is required to find homes enough to go around, and still there are never quite enough. Just now among others there is Jack, ten years old, Paul, year and half, 2nd little EGby Laurie, who need good
