PASTEURIZATION The name pasteurization has Its derivation from the French doctor LoulB Pasteur (born 1822, died 1895), who was especially successful in prov ing the part played by microbes In fer mentation and decomposition; but It was Professor Storch of the Royal Ex periment. Station, Copenhagen, Den mark, who introduced tbe pasteuriza tion in the dairy Industry about 30 years ago. Since then it has been ex tended all over the world for improv ing dairy products. Pasteurization consists in heating milk or cream to such a temperature and for such a length of time as will be sufficient for destroying all the harmful disease germs, without affect ing the food value and the good taste of the product a nnmDhlet from last month (pre pared by Doctor Charles E. North for the New York Milk commiuee; u-. us. that a temperature of hu degrees Fahrenheit applied for 20 minutes (or a slightly lower temperature appueu for a longer time) will kill a" the com eerms in milk and cream. n. vnrth nolnts out In his small book numberless cases of infant death, septic sore throaL typhoid fever, tuber culosis, scarlet fever and diphtheria, which was caused of and traced back to raw (unpasteurized) dairy prodr ucts. Under those conditions it Is no won der that Dr. North recommend private families to pasteurize their milk at home, if they are unable to buy pas teurized milk from their milkman; but the doctor offers no remedy for using butter made from raw (unpasteurized) cream, so the only way to solve that problem seems to be by leaving such butter alone. At the Dairy Convention In Ames, Iowa, a few weeks ago, the main speak er pleaded for a federal law, compell ing tbe pasteurization of all cream made into butter. Such a law has been enforced in Denmark for nearly 20 years with the result that you cannot In the whole kingdom buy a pound of butter made from raw cream. However, the Butter consumer in this nice country need not to suffer by eating butter made from raw cream, whether or not a federal law will be passed on that subject, as more than three-fourths of all the creameries are making butter from pasteurized cream. When tbe consumers avoid tbe com mon dairy butter, and also butter from creameries, which do not yet pasteur ize the cream, they may feel reason ably safe against above named dis eases as far as the butter Is concerned, i WASHINGTON. March 20. Chair man SlmmonB, of the senate finance committee, took issue today with prophets of a large treasury . deficit, in a statement, saying his Investiga tions at the treasury have convinced him that the deficit will not exceed J26.O00.0O0. Senator Simmons said there had been probable deficit, some as high as 1130,000,000, that he decided to as certain the "real facts." "During the past week," he said, "I have been investigating this matter closely in conference with officials of the treasury department, and, as a re sult of the Investigations and confer ences. I feel safe In saying that the probable deficit will not, If any, much exceed $26,000,000. "Of course this does not Include the expenditures on account of the Pan ama canal. These expenses are oth erwise provided for by law and are not required to be paid out of the cur rent funds of the government. "The receipts from practically ev ery source, he added, nave ranen below the estimate, due to depressed business conditions on account of the war In Europe. Although the revenues derived from Internal revenue tax probably will be increased by the em ergency revenue act over the esti mates by about $20,000,000, there was on March 15, 1915, an excess of ordi nary evpendltures over receipts of ap proximately $85,000,000, afainst a de ficit of $34,000,000 on the same date last year. "The estimated receipts for the re mainder of the fiscal year totals $26G, 000,000, while the ordinary disburse ments will amount to $207,000,000. an excess of receipts over expenditures for the remainder of the year of $59, 000,000, showing a net deficit of $20, 000,000 at the end of tho fiscal year. "The Increases are due In part to the normal growth of the government and part are due to conditions arising out of the European war and the ab normal conditions in Mexico." Dslibsrats.
