McCANN CHAPTER 103 In recent years science has reveal ed many wonderful truths concerning the value of good milk as a lifesavcr and the perils of bad milk as a poison. Good milk Is purchasable. Bad milk can be eliminated. The most benevolent and most use ful of man's friends is milk. The most malevolent and treacher ous of man's foea Is milk. Milk, at its best, has been abused by man more than any one other article of food, except bread. Milk, at its worst, has done more to abuse man tha.n any one other arti 'cle of food, except bread. In these four sentences the history of milk can be summed up. For thousands of years the milk of the goat, ass, cow, and deer has been ■associated with many natural joys as well as many of the preventable miseries which make this earth for some a paradise and for others a val ley of tears. Notwithstanding that all nations of all ages have cultivated milk-produc ing animals, it has only been during the last few years that the relation of milk to public health has received serious attention. To-day milk is used to a greater extent in the United States than in any other country. Yet, in spite of the wonderful truths which scientists of recent years have revealed con cerning the deadliness of bad milk and the means of safeguarding the Individual from its perils, the people as a whole, individuals excepted, give little or no consideration to the facts. Everybody does know or should know that milk contains in ideal pro portions proteids, carbohydrates, fats, mineral salts and water. Its ap plicability as a food to all conditions of health and sickness is almost un limited. Countless thousands of men, women and children who have emerged from sickness, through convalescence, into health would be but for milk in their graves. Countless thousands of mothers, were it not for the saving virtues of milk, would be in mourning for their lost infants, yet countless thousands of mothers are suffering the anguish that only a mother can understand through the untimely taking off of their little ones, murdered by milk. The infant population under one year of age so depends upon the benevolent influence or good milk and Is so abjectly helpless before the at tack of bad milk that there must be H. general awakening of the people Trom coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico if parents, as well as teachers, nurses, and physicians, are to do their full duty toward the child.

It is because milk is such a perfect food for the human belns, both old and young, that it is also such a per fect food for the worst enemies of the human being, both old and young. Those little micro-organisms re sponsible for tuberculosis, diphtheria, septic sore throat, scarlet fever, ty phoid fever, measles, and many other diseases that afflict the human race thrive and multiply in milk. It is quite certain than infantile paralysis can be conveyed through the medium of contaminated milk. Through milk, under the unsuspect ing eyes of the most loving mother, or the most conscientious nurse, these disease-producing organisms reach the child with all their life-destroy ing poisons. So widespread is the knowledge of these facts, even though they are only too rarely acted upon, that it can be said that in the smallest village or hamlet of the United tates there is some one person who knows that gastro-intestinal diseases due to bad milk constitute the largest single factor determining Infant mortality. Hundreds of books have been writ ten, published and laid away in our public libraries calling attention to the fact that bad milk, the badness of which is not discernible to the sight or to the taste, Is responsible for an enormous loss of potential wealth. The United tates government has tabulated five hundred epidemics of typhoid fever, scarlet fever and diphtheria caused by milk. These five hundred epidemics, which are but a few of those which have been re ported and which are accessible in medical literature, serve, nevertheless, to indicate the enormous extent to which milk, the great life-saver, is responsible for the destruction of life. Bad milk can be eliminated and good milk, at least safe milk, can be substituted in its place only through the education of the public. It will not do to depend exclusively upon the efforts of municipal, State, and federal health officials to protect the nation's milk supply. Even good milk is contaminated as the result of ignorance in the home, and in many communities political complications make official interference with bad milk almost impossible. The dirty pitcher, the soiled hand, and the ever-present fly can undo in a single instant all that honest official action at the point of milk-production can accomplish. It is largely because the people know so little about milk and milk products, including pot cheese, butter, and ice cream, that the great reaper OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN GOOD MANNERS By DOROTHY DIX | Not long ago I wrote an article; for this column in which I spoke with ! enthusiasm of the school for manners | that the University of New York is j going to inaugurate. A man readtr takes exception to my views. He writes: "I disapprove highly of all the eti quette, because etiquette robs us of sincerity. "If you go into a room and find peo ple there who are not of the slightest interest to you, why should you hypo critically be sympathetic to their trou bles, and rejoice in their happiness, when in reality you do not care wheth er they live or die? Yet etiquette re quires you to do that. "Etiquette will stop you from telling a man that he is a liar, or a woman that she is old and ugly. "Etiquette prescribes that you smile when you have not the slightest desire to do so. "Etiquette forces you to listen to the boresome conversation and long-wind ed stories of others. "Etiquette forces you to do that which you do not desire to do, and to leave undone that which you wish to do. "What is the good of etiquette?" Etiquette is simply one of the rules of the game. When human beings rose above beasts who were continual ly at each other's throats and decided to live together in peace and harmony they found out that they would have to agree upon certain things that they could do, and couldn't do, and that everyone must respect these unwritten laws because it made things pleasanter for everybody. Out of this grew what we call the conventions of society and etiquette, and, foolish and arbitrary as they sometimes seem, they invariably rest upon some human need and represent the accumulated experience of centur ies of man's dealing with man, and the best way to do it. Moreover, etiquette is nothing more nor less than the Golden Rule dressed up in party clothes and with a flower in its buttonhole. It teaches us to treat others as we would like to have others treat us. We respect other people's privacy and opinions, and be careful of their susceptibilities as we would like to have them respect ours. You can have no better illustration of the happy working out of etiquette than in the very instances cited by my correspondent. He asks scornfully why he should appear to sympathize with the Joys and sorrows of people for whom he cares nothing. Doubtless this man never takes the trouble to write a note of condolence when there is a death in the family of some acquaintance, or telephone a congratulation when some good luck without opposition gathers annually his premature harvest of little chil dren. In the hope of saving human life this chapter on milk and those to fol low are written. The appalling in cidents to Which they will refer can not be ignored in any program of education that has for its purpose the correction of abuses so deadly in their nature, yet so easily remedied. It is because the milk scandal is so grave and no straight-from-the shoulder methods have ever been in voked to eradicate its evils that we are now about to look the issue squarely in the face.

Yet how would he feel if, when he entered a room, nobody greeted him with a pleasant and cordial word be cause no o.ie happened to be vitally in terested in him?

My correspondent says that etiquette forces us to listen with an affectation of interest to tedious conversational ists, and laugh over jokes that we cut our teeth on in our cradles. Let us thank Heaven that it does. Precious few of us are such spellbinders that we can hold an audience on the intrinsic thrillingness of our discourse, nor are we brilliant enough humorists to pro voke with our wit the ready laugh that etiquette hands us. Yet which one of us would enjoy a listener who frankly yawned when he was bored, or felt called upon to tell us that he had heard our cherished best story a million times before? And if etiquette prevents us from enjoying the sacred joy of telling a man that'he lies, or a woman that the least observing eye can see that she is ten years older than she pretends to be, and that anybody can tell that her complexion and her hair are only hers by right of purchase, is it not as broad as it is long, for it keeps other people from saying the same brutal things to us? As for etiquette being the mother of insincerity, that is nonsense. There is more to praise than to blame, more to admire than to criticise, more to like than to hate in the world. "Why is it not as honest to speak of a per son's good qualities as his bad quali ties? Why isn't it as sincere to turn a cheery, bright face upon the people at your breakfast table and in your office as it is to grouch in gloom? And as for sympathizing with the joys and sorrows of those about us, even if wo don't know them very well and are not particularly attached to them, surely that is just the throb of a common hu manity that makes us all kin. At its worst, etiquette is merely as suming the virtue of consideration of others by those who have it not, and that is better than the brutality of the savage, who goes his own way un mindful of the rights of others. When we all get to be angels, altru istically Intent on promoting each other's happiness, we can do without etiquette; but until that time arrives, blessed be good manners that make it bad form for us to step on each other's toes and do and say things we are prompted to do. KERENS, ENVOY UNDER TAFT, DIES Was Among Leading Railroad Contractors of Middle West Philadelphia, Sept. 5. Richard C. Kerens, United States Ambassador to Austria-Hungary during President Taft's tenure of office, Republican party leader in Missouri for years and a leading railroad and businessman of the Middle West, who had played a conspicuous part in the political and industrial development of that section of the country during the last half century, died early yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. Hamilton Colket, of Merion, after a prolonged illness. Mr. Kerens' home was in St. Louis, Mo., where his body was sent to-day on a special train for burial. He was 75 years old. The former diplomat, politician and railroad contractor had been ill since last January, but his condition did not become critical until recently. Mr. Kerens left his home in St. Louis early in the uummer to spend the season with Mrs. Colket. He was then in fairly good health, although he was suffering from intestinal trouble, which caused his death. Al though practically all his exploits were in the West, he was almost as well known In the East because of the part he played in industrial affairs and national politics. He had a host of friends in this city who were shocked at the news of his demise yesterday. Mr. Kerens was born at Kilberry, County Meath, Ireland, on August 21, 1841, and was brought to this country by his*parents when he was 8 months old. His boyhood was spent in Jack son county, lowa, and at the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army. Mr. Kerens was a delegate-at-large from Missouri to the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis, in 1892, and was elected Republican National Committeeman from Miss ouri, serving for 12 consecutive years. At the instance of Mr. Blaine and President Harrison and McKinley, he served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee during the Presidential campaigns. He was appointed com missioner-at-large to the World's Columbian Exposition, at Chicago, in 1892 and 1893 by President Harrison. In 1909, President Taft offered him the post of Ambassador of the United States to Austria-Hungary, a post which he filled with tact and ability for tour years, resigning to return to this country to give attention to his numerous business interests. A treas ured souvenir of his official residence at the Court of Vienna was an auto graphed photograph of the aged Em peror Franz Josef, in a solid gold frame, which was presented by the Emperor at Mr. Kerens' farewell audience.
