14 L IIS PURE MILK ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH OF BABIES STORE OPENS AT 8:30 A.M. STORE CLOSES AT 5:30 P. M. MOTHERS TO EARN ILK HPROVED HOW TO KEEP MILK Scientific and Practical Way to Care for Baby's Food to Be Demonstrated. Feeding Most Important Factor in Development of Infants Food for One Child May Be Poison for Another, Sayg Dr. Robert G. HalL EXPERTS WILL LECTURE Women's Organizations of Portland Prepare Comprehensive Exhibits. Physicians and Xnrses to Take Part In Show. The Milk Show to be held this week on the fourth floor of the Meier & Frank building-, under the direction of sev eral of the leading women's organisa tions of Portland, and the City Milk Inspection Bureau will be open to the public today. The details of the show have been planned capably and the exhibition will be most comprehensive. From an educational standpoint it will be one of the most Interesting events of the year. Booths have been so arranged that the .housewives and mothers and all those Interested in the importance of the proper care of milk will be able to gain much valuable information. The scientific and the practical sides of the milk question will be so plainly demonstrated that they can be under stood by everyone who visits the show. Purity Essential to Health. It Is asknowledged that pure milk Is essential in the feeding of Infants and is equally necessary to the health of grown-ups. Diseases that lurk In Impure milk have found hundreds of victims among adults and children and the public has been awakened to the necessity of having the best milk sup ply possible for the cities. To bring about an appreciation of the Impor tance of the milk question In Portland and to give to the people an oppor tunity of seeing what is being done along the lines of milk Inspection, feeding of babies, sanitation of dairies and cow barns and the Ice-cream man ufactures, it was decided by ths Wo men's Auxiliary of the North Port land Commercial .Club to ask the co operation of other prominent clubs and of the city officials in holding a milk show. Mayor Albee. who is thoroughly in sympathy with the movement, and who Introduced In the Council a meas ure for the appropriation of $200 to assist in defraying the expenses of the show, will give the address of wel come at the exhibition this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Milk ' Experts to Speak. Mrs. C. F. Nichols will preside. Dr. M. B. Marcellus will speak on "The Present Condition of the Milk Supply": Dr. Joseph Bilderback will give a talk on "Milk as a Food." Dr. Bilderback, with the assistance of Dr. James Rosenfeld and other physicians, who h made a great success in arranging the formula for modified milk used at the Baby Home, will give the visitors at the show valuable suggestions. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market in spector, will give an address on "The Care ef Milk in the Home." Mrs. Evans Is an entertaining speaker and her talk doubtless will prove helpful to the housewives and mothers. "The Need and Results of Milk Inspection" will be the subject of an address by Dr. Ethel Lyon Herd, of Galveston, Tex. Among the Interesting exhibits will be one made by the Oregon Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso ciations. They will show the photo graphs of babies that have made a high score In the eugenics tests con ducted recently at the Parents' Educa tional Bureau and will demonstrate the care of the Infant, its most sensi ble stylo of dress and feeding. Sanitation to Be Demonstrated. Miss Mabel Etegner, head of the domestic science department of the Toung Women's Christian Association, will demonstrate the various uses of milk in cooking. The Visiting Nurse Association will have an exhibition that will give ideal suggestions in the care of the baby's bottle and in gen eral sanitation of the kitchen, pantry or Ice-chest where milk is kept. The manufacture of Ice-cream will be thoroughly exploited with the crude ingredients, the machinery used and all the various utensils shown. E. C.Galloway. City 5111k Chemist, will have charge of the chemistry labora tory which will contain Information of Importance and E. F. Pesnot. City Bacteriologist, will be in attendance at the bacteriological laboratory to Illus trate the comparative cleanliness of certified, pasteurised and other kinds of milk. Dr. D. W. Mack. City Dairy Inspector, will show charts that will vividly explain the conditions to be found in some dairies In this locality. He will show the progress in the elimination of tuberculosis from the Portland milk supply. There will be other exhibits that will attract attention and every after noon during the week an Instructive and well arranged programme will be presented. Speakers who are abthorl tles on the subjects they will discuss, will be heard each afternoon. Care of Babies to Be Shown. The Baby Home will be represented by a model ward showing the care of babies and their feeding. Mrs. D. C. Burns, president of the home, and Mrs. George B Cellars, a member of the board, will be In attendance at the booth today to answer the questions of visitors. Mrs. Robert H. Tate, who has had a wide experience In child welfare work, will be chairman of tomorrow's pro gramme and will be found today In charge of the booth conducted by the Congress of Mothers. O. M. Plummer. who Is chairman of the finance committee of the Milk ' Show, and who is Interested In the welfare of the school children and the babies of the community, in speaking of the exhibition, said: "This Milk Show will be a great educational fea ture' and will make people think as they never have before. This is the Children's Age: we no longer are care less about matters that concern the health and training of, our children. If the babies can't get the food that nature Intended they should have, they must have a good substitute and the best Is none too good. "I hope every mother and every housekeeper and all the deep thinking men In Portland will avail themselves of the opportunity to attend the show." BY DR. ROBERT G. HALU THE artificial feeding of Infants Is so. vast a subject, that I can touch on only a few of the most Important facts concerning it here. Every article on Infant feeding starts out by saying breast milk is the best form of food. This cannot be over emphasized, because, in spite of the ad ditions to our knowledge about the artificial feeding of babies, the improv ed emthods, and the improving milk supply, this fact remains true. I shall start out by giving a few facts about the growth of normal ba bies. Babies loose a few ounces after birth normally, but by the eighth or tenth day this Initial loss is regained. During the first six months the infant should gain from four to eight ounces j a week. Four ounces Is considered the minimum. . After the first six months the gain is slightly less. The average baby doubles it's birth weight by the fifth month, and nearly trebles It at the end of the first year. When babies are artificially fed they gain less dur ing the first month than breast-fed babies, but later they catch up, and, If properly fed, gain weight as fast as their more fortunate fellows. As a rule the child who is satisfied and gaining regularly in weight Is thriving; an exception must, however, be made in the case of some Infants who are fed chiefly on foods containing a high percentage of sugar. This Is especially true in 'the case- of condensed milk. The baby is not like a measure that has to be filled to the brim once in so often. It is like older people and does not always want the same amount for each meal. Cows Milk Is Second. When breast milk can't be had. what should be given? This problem has to be answered In an Increasing number of families every year. In this case we are forced to turn to the next best thlna- which is modified cow's milk. If there Is any breast milk let the baby have it. and piece out with modified milk If necessary. Human milk aids materially in the digestion and utiliza tion of artificial foods. Never feed a milk modification per- scribed by a neighbor, for the saying, "What is one man's food is another man's poison." is never more true than when applied to baby feeding. Have your physician perscrlbe the form of the modification, as the best miiK wrongly modified will prevent the baby from thriving or make it sick. The city goes to great expense tc Inspect regularly the milk of all the dairies, so it will pay you to look up the record of your dairyman in the Board of Health reports, and see to It that your baby gets the best milk. The difference between good milk and poor milk stands out most clearly when baby feeding is concerned. Poor milk correctly modified will make the baby sick in the end. Babies Stomachs Not Machines. There are tables giving certain modi fications of milk for certain ages, but this Is routine feeding. If babies' stomachs were machines- this method would always succeed, but babies aie human and therefore variable, differing not only from each other at the same age, but changing from day to day, therefore milk must be modified to suit the case In hand. It need scarcely be added that sick babies seldom thrive on routine feeding. These facts render baby feeding more complicated than one would at first suppose. In the rou tlrae feeding of babies either the modi fication of the milk happens to be Just right for the baby, which is rare, or the baby adjusts it's digestion to the mixture. A strong baby can do this and thrive, but a weak baby will get sick In attempting to make this ad justment. The success achieved in certain cases by the use of proprietary baby-foods is more dependent on the fresh milk with I which these foods are mixed than on the special form of the food, which a best, consists or torms or sugar wmci are In most cases Inferior to milk sugar which is the form found in breast milk, and thus naturally the proper one to use. There is a great misunderstandin abroad as to just what is modified milk It 1. a common experience to hear mothers say that they have tried number of baby-foods, including paten foods and modified milk, as thougn tn latter were to be classed with th former. This is wrong, for the term "modified milk" does not mean any spe cial food. Modified milk is applied to any food of which milk in any form i the basis, no matter wnetner n simDlv dilution of milk with water, o mixture with cream, whey or skimmed milk, cereal water, lime-water, differ ent sugars or what not. The food must be fitted to the baby, not the baby to the food, as the users of routine modi flcatlon and the promoters of proprle tarv foods ask you to do. As a chemical composition as well as the proportions of the elements of cow's milk differs from those of hu man milk, the cow's milk must be mod lfled or so changed that it resembles L human milk before it can be used with tne greatest aavamage oy uie uauj. ju this modification the proteid must b reduced, sugar increased, and the fat slightly decreased, because the child' digestive capacity for cow's milk fat is lower than it Is for the fat of human milk. Accuracy Is Important. Accuracy Is as Important In the cal culating and writing of a' perscrlption for a baby's food as it Is for meat cine. The most accurate and most scientific, as well as the most lndl vldual form of feeding is the use of the percentage system of feeding wUh modified mux. in tins xorrn tne per centages of fat, sugar, casein, whey proteid, and starch are decided accord Ing to the age, weight and general con dition of the baby, whether sick or well, and then the milk containing these percentages Is made up. By this method the amount of any individual element of food can be varied to suit the indication without changing the others, or an element may be left out. or a new one added. Another important feature of the modified milk feeding is its great elasticity. As any food substance may be added to the milk, milk may be so modified at will as not only to con tain any or all of the elements used in the patent foods, but the modifica tion may take on- an Infinite variety so that any baby that Is capable of thriv ing will do well upon it. There are very rare cases In which cow's milk is not tolerated by babies; we near oi cases frequently, which are said not to thrive on modified milk. In a vast majority of these, however, it is nelth er the milk nor the baby that Is at fault, but the form of the modification. A few points on hygiene of prepar ing: milk, may not be amiss at this time. First Boil for five minutes every thing that comes in contact with the baby's milk. Let the utensils dry and cool inverted, so that the portions com ing in contact with the milk may be sterile. Second Always keep milk on the Ice; as soon as possible after the milk ar rives, put up the amount required by the baby in the next 24 hours. Third Just before feeding always shake the bottle and warm the milk. Though babies may apparently thrive when fed on unnatural foods we do not yet know, the effect In adult life. Far reaching damage may be done to con stitution and the digestive tract, which In later life may account for serious stomach and Intestinal disorders. Ac cording, therefore, to our present lights It is better and far safer now and here after, to feed milk that approaches as near as possible to the natural food of Infancy human breast mine. LOOT IS IDENTIFIED Victims of Reform School Fu gitives Claim Property. LAST OF BAND SURRENDERS Temperance Workers to Gather. The annual convention of the Oregon Women's Christian Temperance Union will be held In Corvallis this week anf many prominent leaders of the organl. satlon from all parts of the -state will be In attendance. Among the speakers will be Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, one of the most experienced workers of the or. ganlxation. Mrs. Hidden has been active in W. C. T. IT. and political work not only In Oregon but In Eastern .states and Is widely known tn the W. C. T. U. organisations. Member of Trio Returns to State Institution and Presents Of ficial With JewelTy Said to Hare Been Stolen. Yesterday was a busy day at the detective headquarters, when numer ous persons called and identified va rious articles included in the loot re covered by the officers with the ar rests of William Shadrlck and Jack .. : - Wllflam Shadrlck, Leader of Ging of Boy Burglars. Madlgan. fugitives of the Oregon Re form School, who were arrested Satur day. The youths had robbed several homes In Portland, Seaside and also In Washington County. Wllllard Martin, the third member of the fugitive band, returned to the reform school Saturday and surren dered to Officer Dial. He gave the official a gold watch and stickpin, which. Detectives Royle and Golts say, were stolen from one of the homes. Mrs. J. B. Klnnear, who was stay ing at the home of W. Staley, 765 Alameda drive. Identified a traveling bag and other articles in the property recovered as hers yesterday. She asked that tags and a toy lock, placed on the bag by the boys, be left for her as souvenirs, and .when the detectives brought to light also a picture of Shad rlck she asked for It as a souvenir. Visitors Identify Jewelry. Sheriff Reeves, of Washington County, identified part of the stolen goods as the property of Duncan Me Leod, whose home was burglarized. A gold necklace and smoked pearl cuff links, stolen from McLeod, were among the loot. C. E. Jay. with the A. G. Hoffman Company, merchants of Forest Grove, .Identified a necklace set with a dia mond, diamond-set cuff buttons, a dia mond-set Elgin watch and a pin as stolen from his home. In the custody of the County Clerk at Hlllsboro Is property also thought to be part of the loot. This Jewelry, two rings and stickpin, were placed b Shadrlck as ball when he was ar rested on a charge of contempt of court after failing to face a .charge ot burglary in Hillsboro a month ago. Some Not Indentifled. Beven unidentified . rings, among them three wedding rings, and two stickpins of value are still in the hands of the police. Besides these there is a cameo fob, a coral ring, and pearl set stickpin and cufflinks, which were stolen at Seaside, the owners of which the police have not yet found. F. J. McPherson. of 1090 Vaughn street, yesterday Identified some gar ments, .a. hat and jewelry as his property.- Shadrlck Is in the City Jail. Shad rlck, though a minor, has a long rec ord In police annals. His most recent "Job" was the robbery of three houses In the Peninsula district, after which Detectives Goltz., and Royle arrested him. I He was then a fugitive from the reform school and was returned. Failure of the reform school author ities to report to police the escapes from their place of detention Is caus ing friction between the two Insti tutions Martin, who returned to the school Saturday, was being sought by the detectives Saturday night and a great part of yesterday, until word was received that he had returned. OLD STUMP IS UNCOVERED Excavation in City's Center Yields Kellc of Pioneer Days. A reminder that not many years ago wilderness was king and the huckle berries grew on the site of the Teon building and chipmunks chattered where the Washington streetcars now run, was the finding under the pave ment of the roots of a huge fir stump at Fourth and Stark streets yesterday by the workmen excavating for the Northwestern Electric Company. The stump had been cut to about four feet below the surface of the pavement, but the roots still extended under the street In as fine a state of preservation as if the tree had been felled only recently. City Chemist Notes Much Ad vancement at Dairies. IMPROVEMENT STILL NEED Many Men Engaged In Industry Are Striving to Reach Standard of Perfection, While 600 More Show Little Progress. BT E. r. CALLOWAY, CITY CHEMIST. Bull Run water has made Portland famous as a "Health City," and it should. Were it possible, the people of Portland would go out and buy a milk supply that would be equally fa mous for its purity. But this is not possible, although it is sometimes ad vocated -by dreamers and visionaries. The dairy Industry which supplies the City of Portland with milk and sweet cream includes 7000 cows, suu oairy farms and from 3000 to 6000 people find employment therein. Portland's "milk shed" covers 2000 square miles and there Is but one way to purify It and. render it safe as a source of sup ply. That is by the evolution of the dairy industry from a makeshift by product of farm life to a dignified, scientific, businesslike industry. The evolution is now in action ana progressing- more rapidly than ever be fore, because of general public await ening regarding the necessity oi pure milk for the health of a city. Clean Milk Available. In a short period of four years the point has been reached where it is pos sible for every baby in this city to have clean, fresh cow's milk. The cam paign began In 1909, when more than 50 per cent of the milk not only was unfit for human food, but was danger- out to the health of both adult and in fant The records in the milk depart ment show that 30 per cent of the milk contained varying amounts of added water, which, if the facts were known, Drobablv was contaminated by sewage. Now the percentage of adulterated milk is less than 2 per cent. In 1909 there were no dairies that would score more than' 60 in a sanitary score of equipment and methods, but now we have many dairies that score from 60 to fO. Indeed the men who really are making money at the dairy business are those who nave Deen progressive enough to remodel their dairies along sanitary lines and attempt to put out the best product possible. No greater stimulus could be found for the ad vancement of this process of evolution than the nractical demonstration of this fact that it has paid to, be clean. Tubercular Cows Eliminated. Nineteen hundred tubercular cows have been eliminated from Portland's milk supply and now that we have a state law reimbursing the dairyman for the loss of diseased animals, there is a special inducement for dairymen to maintain healthy herds. During the month of August. 1913, 92.3 per cent of the samples of milk taken from dairies that deliver their own product were within the standards of purity specified in the milk oral Wnance. But. nevertheless, there are 600 or more small dairies supplying this city with milk that are not worthy of such a marKet and do not seem to appre elate it. Milk from these dairies is shipped to city distributing plants, where It must be clarined and pasteur ized before it is even presentable for human food. If the hair and manure and dirt were not removed at the city Dlant this milk would always show a sediment in the bottom of the bottle. If it was not pasteurized It would sour before you could use It or even before It reached the consumer. Dealers Aid Department. But the majority of the city milk dealers join hands with the health de partment in the campaign for a pure milk supply. Being anxious to im prove their supply at its source, they are sending their own Inspectors Into the country to educate and assist the farmers in producing cleaner mHK. Two of the largest Arms have in stalled laboratories of their own to test the milk of their patrons for cleanliness and purity. Some have in stalled systems whereby the farmer will receive more for his milk If It is of a high standard of quality and purity. This is a long step in the right direction. There are Just as many qualities of milk as there are qualities of apples and the time is fast coming when the price of milk will be graded from the purest to the dirtiest. All of the large creameries nave sterilizing apparatus for the steriliza tion of bottles and cans, a thing un heard of a few years ago. All retail milk Is required to be delivered in sterile glass bottles, since glass Is the most sanitary material for the con struction of milk utensils, being easily cleaned. The old dirty measure which brings the dust of the street and the contagious disease from your neigh bor's house has been eliminated. Stores Are Regulated. Milk sold in grocery stores and shops must not be measured out in paper cartons or buckets, but must be bot tled and sealed. All milk stores are required to keep the milk on ice in the Summer time. Restaurants are neia responsible for the quality or miiK which they serve. Just the same as the dairymen. Some of the best restau rants and hotels nave been serving tne noorest Quality of milk, but this con dition is rapidly being eliminated. A reliable eating-house cannot aixora ia. risk its reputation by serving milk of , questionable purity. Portland is too far along now In this campaign for pure milk to stop short of a near approach to the Idea!. More dairy Inspectors should be sent into the country to instruct tne iarmer in new and sanitary methods. Dairy In spectors must be educators. We must make new dairymen out of old ones and it takes time and patience to change men's ways of doing things. The insanitary dairy must be elimi nated, but along Bafe and sane lines. A hopeful feature ot tne prooiem is th ever-increasing number or pro gressive dairymen from the East who are taking the place of the shiftless local farmers, "that only want to seu a little milk." New life is coming into the industry in this state. We are looking forward to tne time In Portland when every consumer or milk, as well as every baby, may be ble to get milk of a nign quality ana purity. ' Mrs. Emma Bryant Is Dead.. One of the last survivors of the old family of "Stonewall" Jackson, of Wes ton, W. Vs Mrs. Emma H. Bryant, of 1041 Vernon avenue, died at her home Friday, September 13. The body Ilea at the Erlcson undertaking parlors, and will be sent soon to Weston, W. Va., for burial in the old family plot. Mrs. Bryant Is survived by her husband, Melville Bryant, and a 6-year-old daughter. German butchers have learned to make extensive use of osone as s supplement to the ordinary process of refrigeration. N0RT0NIA HOTEL. Special Winter rates now made to bachelors and families at Nortonia, Portland's exclusive hotel. Commodi ous parlors, music, tea and billiard rooms. Adv. "Citizens Thank Mayor. Citizens In the Grays Crossing dis trict have adopted resolutions which were forwarded to Mayor Albee, in which they express their appreciation to the Mayor for the "prompt manner In which he responded to their requests for apparatus to be used in protecting the" homes and property of the district against fire. The resolutions are at tested by W. S. Sanders, chairman, and D. E. Wills, secretary.

"In, but very busy In the mornings, replied the secretary. "Could you call In the afternoonT" "Is the Mayor really here?" persist ed the man. On being assured In the affirmative, the man said he would explain why he called. , "I have been told by a certain per son who was defeated In the last elec tion for a Commissionership that the Mayor Is not In his office to exceed two hours a day and that he devotes the remainder to private business, and I Just wanted first-hand Information," he said. "All right, " said the secretary, I will let you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears," where upon he opened the door to the Mayor's office and ushered the man Into the city Executive's presence. As a matter of fact. Mayor Albee has never yet reached his office later than 7:30 A.M., and generally before 7 o'clock. Several times, with urgent business to transact he has gotten down as early as 6 o'clock. However, owing to the immense amount of pub lic work developing on the Mayor as Commissioner of public safety, he is unable to meet the general public In the morning and devotes that time to oulclal conferences and other subjects demanding nls attention. He endeavors to be present In the executive office In the afternoon to receive callers. PERMANENT JOBS FAVORED Mayor Will Urge Examinations Secure Employes. to Mayor Albee will make no temporary appointments under civil service In his various bureaus. If he can possibly avoid It. He believes that all appoint ments should. If possible, be made as though permanent, and will look to the Civil Service Board for eligible lists for all places under his supervision. The new City Jail and Police Admin istration building, , near completion, provides new positions for three en gineers, three elevator operators, two Janitors, one cook and four telephone operators. There being no eligible list for these positions, the Mayor will ask the Civil Service Board to hold exami nations, so as to provide lists In time for appointments of ellglbles. who will remain in the places permanently un less they prove Incompetent. E. W. Peckham Returns. E. W. Peckham, of the Michigan So ciety of Oregon, who returned to Port land last week, made a considerably more extended visit than tne rest of the party who went to Detroit and other points In Michigan, which hap pened to be their native towns. Mo0 of the party returned last month. Mr. Peckham took advantage of his being East to visit Niagara Falls, New York. Washington, Cleveland, Chicago and Minneapolis and returned to the Coast by Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle. While in Michigan he vis ited Coldwater, Jackson, Albion, Ben ton Harbor and Adrian. THIEF COMES SECOND TIME Proceeds of Motorcycle Sale Ar Sought With rerslsleiicc. A persevering thief, who Is supposed to have been seeking the $300 which C. Hurley, of 809 Syracuse street, received from the sale of a motorcycle, took the knob off Hurley's bedroom door Sat urday night, but he did not get Into the room. Hurley had placed a chair against the door, with Its back pressed up against the knob, and 'his barrier the thief found insurmountable. It was the thief's second visit Fri day night .he broke in through a base ment window, prowled through the house and tried to enter Hurley's bed room, but was unsuccessful. Hurley heard the sounds and notified the po lice. Then he put a chair beneath his doorknob. The thief returned Satur day night by the same way. took off the outside doorknob, but was unable to enter. i
