Mr.. Cutter made a demand for the
appointment of able men to diplomatic
posts in the American republics. He
indicated very pointedly that it was
time for the United States to get rid
Of diplomatic butterflies" at impor-
tant foreign posts and permit them
ito fit to the social centers."
Urges Ablest ENJOYS.
"The most important step that can
be taken to develop trade" he said, "is
to appoint the ablest man and to
change the mental attitude of some of
the present diplomats in South and
North America. At the present time
q number of consular and diplomatic
officers appointed between the Ameri-
can republics consider their work only
as stepping stone to a bright and

origin. tuberculosis is the disease of
animal origin that is probably the
most commonly disseminated through
milk. Milk is one of our best foods
and the one prominently adapted to
the infant; and infants and children
are more susceptible than adults to
tuberculosis of bovine origin. 1t is
also equally true that many diseases
of human origin are disseminated by
contaminated milk. Such diseases as
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, conta-
gious sore throat, and others are fire.
quently carried by milk. This comes
about through the milk being handled
by or coming in contact with (di-
rectly or Indirectly people who are
affected by such diseases.
Furthermore, the public is enti-
tied, not only to healthful, but also
to clean milk supply A clean,
and healthful milk supply
can and will only be produced under
an efficient and practical system Of
administered by compe-
tent inspection official backed by a
public spirited and up-to-date board
of health or like body of officials.
Inspection regulations regarding
the production and sale of milk should
be SO framed and so administered as
not to be burden on the producer.
Here, again, the spirit of cooperation
and helpfulness should be manifested
to the fullest extent and the lawrsnly
invoked in the cases of these unscrup-
ulous and stubborn individuals who
place personal gain above life and
health of their fellow beings.
