The Effpfo East

Folks from New York who ma,
sneer a little at the man from the
West and call him "yokel," 'hay-
shaker and similar opprobrious
names, have been given something
to think about recently by The New
York World, one Of the metropolis

Because it Is one of a newspapers

citizens living in the community
where the newspaper is published
the World became interested in New
York's milk supply.
And what it found was enough to
make any decent resident OF any
American city blush for shame. for
most of New York's milk is being re-
tailed from the can"
Most of us will remember the old
days when the milk man made his
route and rang a bell in front of the
customers house to apprise him that,
if he wanted milk, he should bring
his pail or pan and get It, The pic
ture includes all the detail of lifting
the top from the big can in the back
of the cart and watching the milk
man dip out the pint or quart which
may have been ordered
For folks who live IN the west
those days are long ego and far
away, but for many who live In New
York the picture is modern one,
the only difference being that the
milk Is generally sold from stores in
stead of wagon.
In gay Gotham, the poorest as
well as the richest city in the world
bottled milk costs four cents a quart
more than dipped" milk and many
persons are unable to afford the bet
ter product.
What 1t means in terms of health
may be deduced from the TACT that
90 per cent Of the dipped" milk SAM
pies collected and tested by The
World was contaminated.
Politics have been blamed in con-
nection with the travesty Of New
York's milk supply. Racketeers are
blamed and the fact that greater
profits may be made by handling
milk in slovenly manner is an ad-
mitted factor.
It would seem, however, that the
effete East is about to follow the be-
nighted West in this one respect and
that, before very long, dipped" milk
will be outlawed there as it is here.

American, 81 per cent Of the negro,
and 66 per cent Of the Mexican diets
were inadequate in total amounts of
calorieS taken. Moreover, the food
deficiencies were more serious for
girls than for boys.
The negro and Mexican intake Of
calcium was not much more than
half that Of the American diets:
phosphorus and iron were low in the
three groups. The average intake
was lower for girls than for boys.
1nadequacy of calcium affected 50

Five Billions for Accidents

The hidden costs" of industrial
accidents, according to H. w. Heiil-
rich of the Travellers Insurance COM
pany. are four times as great. on the
average. as the visible and recognized
costs. AS consequence, the total in
dustrial accident bill in this country
is more than $4,000, 100000 a year.
This is a tremendous drain on both
businesses and individual workmen.
Part of the cost inevitably falls on
the consumer of goods and services,
as industries have no other way of
paying for accidents than by charg-
ing the cost against operating ex-
penses. Again, accident expenses are
reflected in our state taxes, as in
creased accident frequency entails
greater legal, executive and admins

Nothing is more detrimental to the
morale and good will of an industry
than high accident rate. culminat.

It is true that American industry,
