Claim Fluid Ends
Necessity OF Milk
Pasteurization

LONDON, Nov. /. (UP).--Dis-
covery of a gcrmicidc which, it Is
said, may free milk from bacteria
without pasteurization, has been
announced by G. w. Richards,
British member of Parliament.
"The addition of a few drops
of this germicidc makes milk
practically free from bacteria,
and it is absolutely harmless, has
no smell or taste. and does not
alter the color of the MILK" he
said.
at does not make dirty milk
clean, so that its use would not
encourage producers to supply an
inferior article, but assists them
to supply a foodstuff which would
be superior to anything which has
ever been produced in this or any
other country.
If the claims can be justified,
it will be good news for the Co.
600 producer-retailers of mix,
for, under contemplated lcglSla-
ton, it is likely that they would
have to pastcurizc all but a small
proportion. Most of these are
men in n small way of business,
and a complctep astounding plant
would cost about $3.50. Many of
them would either have to go out
of business or become simple pro-
duccrS of milk.

Gus inconsistency, the owner who
