Nov, with reference to infant'ie
paralysis being transmitted to a child
from Ice cream, through q bovine AMI
NAL, ] think it is really too absurd
to relate, because l do not believe that
there ID, any support or anything on
record,s nat speh could be transmitted
from t1e bovine acc TO the human
rsee, and much les from the chan
mel tAst Was taken. Whsn questioned
regarding tbs remark, the answer
was tha* Ties 1t the barn where the
milk VA pfodnced had infected the
milk, and sheuld The cream have been
pasteulissd It. would have killed the
gam, and stopped the transmissioa
which tack place.
ny dsar rsoders, can you feature
IL sbsurdity Of such : thing-and
then allow yourselves 70 follow. the
ny ovsr . can Of ice cream that haP
been pastsurised, and think for . Sec
ond that the child IL protected by the
cooking Of the cream before It war
made into lee cream! If you can, /
believe you will fully agree with me
that it Is . very natural explanation
n behalf Of pasteurisation Of cream
for the state Of Montana.
Nov, follow me a little closer. The
work Of eradication Of tuberculosis
has been very efficiently carried on
by our st&4e officials. How muca
more readily you can detect the filth
Of = barn n q raw milk, Or an unpas-
teurised milk than you can in . pas
teurised milkl In the first place, to
explain to you what pasteurization
MISREPRESENTATION Of milk and
cream il the simple process Of hav-
ing machinery hest milk OF. cream t.
146 degrees Fair, hold It for thirty
minutes, and then cool it back to q
cool temperature; or in the flash sys-
tenn, to heat it to 100 degrees, and
recool il very quickly. When this
is done, the same has been cooked
and if there is any filth in the mill
it appears to me that It has deadened
1.-The same to an extent that it is mol
readily detected, therefore would en-
courage filthy milk more than il
would under ri present sanitary con
ditions which are required, and woult
also rob the people Of the privilege Q!
having a clean, wholesome article tina
they crave, and force upon them
coo+ ed article, which I believe mos
authorities will agrse On, II harder Il
digest. For this reason we are yer.
much opposed to having = compulsor,
law and robbing our public "a. tn
freedom to which they are entitled.
Furthermore, it would ~necessitat
the installation Of . great raft Q
! machinery to handle the milk in tn
state, and would necessarily eliminat
q crest number Of cur smaller opers
tdts, and IN reality place same in tn
channel Of . few large concerns, whic
have a goodly control At the preser
time, and would strengthen them yer
0 materially; and would necessitat
much more expense which should
f borne by the consumers and produ
! ers; and we are strongly ia favor
e having this eliminated, especially u
n der the present conditions that ext
n in the state Of Montana.
In regard to the passage of a Ia
