Estimado senior:
En- La edici6n correspondence al IA
de febrero del peri6dico tLa Democra
cia'', vic luz un proyecto suscrito por
don E M. vasallo, y endosado por este
la Sociedad Benefca de Nifos, a, fin
de que esta Ultima gestione su apro-
baci6n.
En- Ell MUNDO, fecha 8 del actual,
aparece un suelto, La Playa de La Le-
chez, en- el cual Sc alude un traba-
10 efectuado por Ell Licdo. del Vale
Sarraga.
Comoquiera que soy industrial lesal-
mente establecido en- esta poblacfC ], y
poseo un departamento para la snta
de leche de vaca, reconozco que CT nto
Sc luche por corregir ell fraude, tar des
caradamente efectuado por los tralcan
tes del mencionado liquido, ha de re-
sultar siempre defciente. Y digo de-
ficiente, porque la experiencia nc la
demostrado que ha habido algnnos ca
SOS en- que Sc ha adulterado este l5qui-
do en- la propia casa del consumidor
Es diffcil que una madre pueda sunni
nistrar su hijo recien nacido un all
mento puro y nutritivo; por 10 cual
es indispensable que todos pongamos de
nuestra parte, a fin de que Sc remedie
tan grave NAL. Creo que ell remedio no
consiste en- imponer fianzas los que
tienen hcencia para la venta de leche
fresca, pues forzosamente contribuiran
para que Ell negocio fuese acaparado
por algunas personas sin escrupulos, y
quienes no les importaria caer en- las
redes de la ley, 10 cual no ofrecer& min
gunas garantias al publico consumidor.
A mi entender, creo que, para obte-
ner hcencia para la venta de leche fres
ca de vaca, es indispensable que Ell
solicitante reuna condolences morales sa
tisfactorias; que conozca la ley. que.
ademas, demuestre poseer conocimien-
tos que le permitan saber cuando la
/ leche fresca esta no adulterada. ASH
mismo, Ell tenedor de la icencia debera
tener sus 6rdenes empleados no me-
nos de 18 amos, que conozcan las res
ponsabilidades que sobre el recaen.
La ley que rige en- la actualidad, cas-
tiga al tenedor de una licencia, lie
hace responsible de las faltas que come
ia un empleado sus 6rdenes; zero III
cabe duda de que siempre ha habido
adulteradores, y que, hoy, mas que nun
ca, Ell n1mero de estos ha crecido, al
punto que hoy Sc hace casi impossible,
81 no dificil, hallar un medic de COM
battr la adulteracion
Por 10 visto, la industria de leche en
Puerto Rico esta llamada a sufrir cier-
tos obstaculos, con gran perjuicio paia
Ell tesoro Insular v, sobre todo, para q
consumidor.
La ley debe pesar sobre ell delincEen
Je Slempre que sc le pEuepe ei

nedor de una icencia cuando a
juicio del tribunal hubiese duda en-
cuanto a La falta cometida. Al tenedor
de una icencia, quien debe ofrecer mo

a fin de que este pueda extender certi

Las 'ratas' que hay en- la Ieche
podflan desaparecer pronto
UNA OPINION MEREcEDoRA DE APIAUsos

y todo portador de leche fresca que
carecere de este requisite, deBera ser de
tenido llevado ante la Sanidad, para
que esta resuelva sobre el case.
Ell tenedor de una ncencia, certifi-
cado, debera ser provisto de una tar
jeta en- que figure la cantidad de leche
que tiene su servicio, y el promedio
que desarroll6 al hacerse cargo de Ia
misma en- Ell deposito de que depende.
La vigilancia para Ell buen cumplimien
to de la ley, debe pesar sobre la po-
licfa insular, y no sobre ningun otro
empieado que figure en- puestos polfti-
cos, sin menoscabo para los inspectores
'oficiales del Departamento de Sani-
dad, a quienes debera recurrir la po-
hcia, a fin de que 5sta resuelva las fal
tas cometidas; sera, asimisn.o. deber
de la policia poner toda su atencion v
vigilancia fin de evitar que Sc in
frinja la ley. La leche en- esta r1Ela-
ci6n, y asi, tai vez, ocIrrirs en- otras
poblaciones de La isla es condnc 'di: po1
los infractores y adulteradores en- los
carros que Sc destinan al pan. en- la
tas de distinta presentation, banastas
cubiertas con otros productos etc, &c.
Por 10 tanto, la policia es la llamada a
prestar grandes servicios la humani-
dad sorprendiendo y deIatando al in
tractor.
Comoquiera que no hay m6todo posi-
bic para evitar estos inconvenientes.
me permitiria recomendar que la Legis
latura aprobase un credito de cualquier
fondo disponible cubrir una orden
por Glen gruesas de lact6metros, clase
pequeha, marca ga. H T. y q" de
cuya residencia informaria cualquier
droguista importador,- -por ser esta una
marca de reconocida exactitud y buen
! resultado. Estos lact6metros serian con
fiados a. las oficinas de Sanidad, para
ser facilitados los consulnidores de
leche en- Puerto Rico, por su valor de
costo, dicho credito seria reembolsado
al tesoro Insular en- un corto plazo Este
aparato facilitaria ell que todo consul
midor conociera diariamente ell 'stan-
dard'', de la leche que consume. Aun-
que es cierto que existen materias de
adulteraci6n para que La leche rresen
te standard cierto es tambien que
es facil reconocer la adulteraci6n, con
solo Ell consu1nidor fijar su atenci6n en-
los momentos de ser hervida, v, en- tai
case, denunciar ell hecho las autori-
dades S.
sustento la firms opinion de que Ell
m6todo indicado resultara muy bene-
hcioso para las famihas.
Creyendo haber cumplidlo un deber,
al aportar mi granite de arena an csc
asunto, del que depende la salvaci6n de
muchos miles de vidas, solo me resta,
seior Director, rogarle de publicidad

BIG CONTESTS
FOR GRIDIRON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
New York. Nov. down TO lhl
pain, who're games mean everything
tho major football teams start N,
last hard drive tomorrow.
Three games stand out a. the feat
ure of q program Of nation vide In
iercst.
In the East. attention will center
on the first battle of tho "nle
Three between Harvard and Prince
TOP At Princeton. In tie West. Ohio
State and Chicago will 20 through
the elimination OF one of the con.
tenders for the Western Conference
Championship. And cn the plains Of
West Point. Noire Dame and the
Cadets will have their annual inter.
sectional classic.
Princeton. on the seasons show.
Ing ought to fall a victim to Har.
var but there must be considered
the fighting spirit Of the Tigers. mat
brought them out OF a similar rut IN
1919. when they tied Harvard and
beat Yale after losing to coalga.c
and West Virginia.
Ohio State and Chicago offer
good hand for a clairvoyant. Against
Princeton. Chicago looked almost un.
beatable on the offense. although
Capt. McGuire's men did not make
the most OF their scoring opportunl.
ties. They did not face the offense
also that Ohio State is sure to pre-.
sent. The Columbia team In beating
Minnesota and Michigan showed
form worthy OF champion. The
breaks OF the game ought to be an
important factor and Ohio in the
past two seasons has shown great
adaptabllity in making the breaks.
The battle between West Point
and y .e Dame ought to be one Of
the classics of the year. The Ca
cts have one Of the finest teams In
the history of the Academy and one
of the best in the East. Notre Dame
is always good, but 1t remains to
be seen how good the South Bend
ers will be against the soldiers with
out the great Gipp who beat the
Cadets lonehanded last fall.
These three games by no means
corner the class of the days card.
The Lafayette-Penn game at Paila-
delphia should be one of the best
Of the day. although pcnn's pros.
poets are rather gloomy. Yale, get
ling ready for the Princeton gamo
next week has rather hand picked
opponent in Maryland. Another inter.
sectional game of interest will be
staged at Pittsburgh where Glenn
Warmers great Panther outfit will
meet Nebraska. Penn State and the
Navy are both getting ready for the
battle next week Penn State is
,laying Carnegie Tech and the Mid
'hipmen will work out with Buck
