AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
By ALFRED W. 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

health of the cow and the methods
employed in handling the milk of the
cow than upon all other issues of food
and sanitation combined.
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.

comes the way of a neighbor.
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? Would he not be cut
to the heE.rt if his wife or child lay
dead and no human being spoke a
word of sympathy to him Would not
the happiness of his success be dim
med if not a man put out a hand and
said: "Good for you. old chap; I'm
awfully glad for you"?
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.

LITTLE SHIRRING

Childlike Touch to Boys' Suit
Which All Mothers Like
to See
By MAY MANTON
8988
8988 (With Basting Line and Added,
Seam Allowance) Boy's Suit, 2, 4
and 6 years.
This is one of the prettiest and smartest
suits that could be offered for the little
boys. The full front portion can ba
either smocked or shirred but the smocking
gives just the childlike touch that most
mothers will like and which is exceedingly
fashionable. Here the suit is made of
white linen and the smocking is done with
color, but this suit will be found available
for all the materials that are used for the
little boys, for the linens and cottons,
also for serge, shepherd's check and such
fabrics, also it can be used for the silk
suit that is adapted to very formal
occasions. Sage green linen or chambray
would be charming with the center front
portion of white and with the collar and
trimming of white to match, or the white
suit could be made of color with the collar
and sleeve bands only of white. The
straight trousers are the smart ones for the
tiny children and these are comfortably
shaped, closed at the sides. The blouse
is closed beneath the edge of the left
front.
For the 4 year size will be needed, 3%
yards of material 27 inches wide, 2%
yards 36 or 2]/i yards 44.
The pattern No. 8988 is cut in sizes for
boys from 2 to 6 years of age. It will
be mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt
of t*a cents.
