MEETING POSTPONED
Because tif tho fllness' of menr
bors tho mooting of tho Ladles of
tho B, P, O. E. has boen postponed
until thp first Tuesday In March. zatlon in tho city Is dosirous of fur
othor hand, ho produced front his
latest medical reports, tho tact that
pastourlzcd milk was better than raw
milk for pcoplo with poor digestion.
Again in a government roport on
sato milk, by Earnest A. Sweet. I find
tho following suggestiens: "It is
entlroly feasible for any city to pro
toct In a measure tho lives of its bab
ies, by simple regulations of its milk
supply." Again, a number of Amer
lean cities require that all milk shall
bo pasteurized, so that largo plants
whero this process Is performed are
common." Again, "milk which has
been adaquately pastourlzod is there
fore to bo regarded as the safost milk
which ono can consume."
On pago 23 ot tho abovo report I
find tho following which might an-
Iwor the objections of some. "Tho
tnsto nnd appearance ot pastourizad
milk dirrors little from thoso of un
treated milk." For the bonoftt of
thoso who may say "I know better
than that, tor I havo tasted pasteur
ized milk," I will say that In all prob
abilities tho milk you tasted was rais
ed to a higher tomporature than 145
degrees. If tho milk Is heated much
warmer than that it becomes a scald
ed milk and the flavor is changed.
In conclusion I wish to say that
yonr present milk producers aro rq
llablo mon who have ontered into an
agreement with tho distributor of
milk to furnish a bottor milk than
has over boen placed on tho market
before Thoy aro taking ovory pro
cautionary measuro posslblo, but
thoy, and all othor reasonable per
sons, know that without pasteuriza
tion milk is not entirely safe, They
aro willing nnd anxious to do thoir
part' and you are not treating thorn
fairly If you do not insist that any
and evory other milk dealer make
the same effort to glvo you a sato
milk.
As to the price of milk tho produc
ers are- desirous of having- repre
sentative from the consumers to meet
with-them, and the-distributor, to ar-
lange a fair prce on milk,
If there is anydeslre-on the part of
the consumers for further Informa
tion on this subject, or if any organ!-
activities and aided materially In
keeping tho County in lino with tho
War Loans ns woll. Over 200 mon

hand $76.59 bo donated to the local

Influenza and in furnishing tho de
tention hospital. If no objections aro
filed with mo by February 24, this
will bo done.
I tako this occasion to thank the

LAREDO, Tex, Feb. IS. Mexico's
supply of petroleum, "If worked thor
oughly" would be greater than the
ntlre production of the tfnlted
States, according to the Mexican de
partment of industry and commerce,
as quoted by tho Mexico City news
paper "Excelsior.
''The petential production of Mex
ico is practically 2,000,000, barrels
daily," the newspaper continues,
"and the exportation of petroleum ,
last year was 50 per cent greater
than tho previous year." The .value
of that exported last year was $45,
887,421, on which a tax ot $4,700,
000 was collected, the paper adds.""
From January to November, 1919,
twenty seven n.ew wells were
"brought In" from forty-three drill
ings to Mexico's oil fields, the news
paper says, and theso wells have a
potential production of 462,557 bar
rels daily.
Tho Excelsior also reported new
mining activity In tho state of Chi
huahua, "due to the absence of the
bandit, Villa, from that state.'' Many
new locations are announced, and the
old locations are being worked, wltV
prospects "for a great year of pros
perity, chiefly on accpunt of tha
high price of silver."
O-
thor Information tho wtltor will bo
