Straus' address told of the pro- gress in protecting the milk supply in the United States from the day. when that fluid was a carrier of dis ease to the present when the milk supply cannot reach the consumer in most of our great centers of popu- lation without bearing the essential safety reached by pasteurization. ," The address added:
 T feel that this work is sufficient Fly known and introduced in all direc- tions so that can turn my attention to another and kindred subject All I have claimed and proven as to the danger which turks in raw milk ap- plies with equal force to cream, ice cream, cheese and butter. Next to milk it is butter which for the chill dren's sake requires serious atten- tion"
 Mir. Straus quoted pr. Schroeder of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. al saying:
 ITO secure safe butter supply re- quires that we should add to the widely practiced pasteurization of milk distributed to the consumer as milk, the presentation of all cream used to make butter. It Is the only available economically reasonable ex- pedient that has been proved over and over again to afford protection against the dangers that too often lie hidden in raw milk and its products :"
