commenced enforcement of an or
dlnunco requiring the pasteuriza
tion of all milk. Pasteurization
means a kind of parboiling for the
purpose of killing dangerous germs
in the milk. The mlllt, in the, pus-;
teurlzatlon process, Is simply heat-I
ed up to u temperature of 140 or I
14.r- degrees V. (of course the tern-I
p'-rature must bo carefully record-;
ed by thermometer) and kept at
that temperature, no higher and '
no tower, for 20 minutes, then ul- j
lowed to cool again. This degree;
of heat has been found sufficient
to kill tubercle, typhoid or diph
theria bacilli, as well as the strep
tococcus of scarlet ft'Ver, sore
throat or septic Infection. The hist
new ease of septic sore throat in
tho Jjeo epidemic was reported July
14, and this was probably a case of
contact iiif'-ellon (the patient bad
been taking caro'of one of the H00
Invalids), though contact Infection
occurred in very few Instances In
this epidemic, unlike some other
epidemics of similar character and
origin. ;
The Massachusetts health au- j
thoritles have been unable to de-1
term! no positively whether the j
streptococci that were found to be
lie the cause of the sore throat In
this epidemic came originally frorp
the infected udder of one of the
cows or from one of the milk, han
dlers. They did obtain "puro cul
tures" of a hemolytic streptococcus
from one f the cows and from sev
eral of the milk handlers. Ity
the way, "hemolytic" is just a gn,nR
name for one of the most virulent
strains of streptococcus: the word,
means literally "blood destroying.'
Among the roles In the rcper-
torlo of the utroptocoecus wo must 1
list, along wtlh septic soro throat,
scarlet, fever, erysipelas and now
and then a cane of acuto general
septicemia or "blood poisoning"
without apparent wound oi en
trance. A ny of Iheso manifesta
tions of streptococcus Infection
may bo traced, In not a few out
breaks, to milk that has been con
taminated either ny the diseased
udder of the cow or by some dis
eased handler somewhere between
cow and consumer. It Is because
there is ho much danger of suchjoul In okfahoiuy who suddenly
pollution or contamination of the,oUUc im a couple o' million dol
mllk marketed or peddled In cities hirs said that all dio wanted wtr
that the health authorities In most u sow In' machine an' a case o pop
cities require the pasteurization of Utm wherry preferred,
all market milk. This does not 1- 1
refer to certified milk, which Is
absolutely pure and safe In Its raw
state.
I have often mentioned here the
obfix'tions to pasteurization, but
,lhe principal one is overcome
readily enough. If the baby must
he raised on pasteurised milk,, be
sure he gel a dally ration of any
fresh fruit or vegetable juice or
even factory canned tomato Juice,
to provide the H.e,urvy preventing
vitamin that is destroyed in milk
by pasteurization.

at every hour his fame's at

other men, to pull a boner or

he slips a million foes will

It's strange how people like
to rend the man they lately
