THEYBLILD OR 1 %JS? k3 DESTROY AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT iif?e^ h Vccann b f By ALFRED W. McCANN CHAPTER 130. The Very Things That Cold Storage Fails to Do in Protecting the Con sumer of Infected Butter From the Dangers of Tuberculosis, Septic Sore Throat, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid Fwver, Diphtheria, and Other But ter-Borne Diseases Have Been Used by the Butter Industry as Arguments to Account for Its Neg lect to Heed the Warnings of Of ficials Who Have Been Afraid to Go Further Than Warnings. As 1600 Borden wagons began the delivery, on the morning of Oct. 4, 1915, of thousands of pounds of pas teurized butter, safe for children to eat, the owners of millions of pounds of raw butter, snugly stored in the re frigerator warehouses of the country waiting better pricefe, began telling themselves that the fad for honestly pasteurized butter was all nonsense. I have carefully preserved a record cf the astonishing statements made on this subject in the trade papers devoted to the butter industry. "Even If the cows are tubercular," they argued, "or if the butter-makers or the employes of the print rooms should be diseased, cold storage kills all the germs and raw butter is there fore Just as safe as pasteurized but ter although pasteurized butter costs from a fourth to a half cent a pound more." This statement is characteristic of the persistence with which butter makers have ignored all the truths that painstaking research has devel oped for their guidance in connection with the easily controllable and easily preventable dangers of the production and distribution of raw butter. The important thing in the butter Industry is the interest of the gam bler and speculator, whose job it is to buy in June, July and August as much butter as they can for as little money as possible, and then to shove tlieir stuff, which they never see, into storago for high winter prices. Cold storage, contrary to their argu ment, does not kill the tubercle bacilli. Cold storage does not kill the germs of diphtheria, septic sore throat, scar let fever, typhoid fever, ineasies, or any other butter-borne disease. The United States Department of Agriculture has gone to the trouble of establishing this fact. It has been proved conclusively that even after a year of freezing in cold storage viru lent tubercle bacilli are recoverable from tubs of raw dairy butter. Of course butter men owning mil lions of pounds of raw hutter in stor age are not prepared to accept the revelation of science until driven by law to do so. These millions of pounds of cold storage raw butter are responsible for the repression of all efforts to enact State-wide pasteurization laws throughout the country. Cold storage means everything and pasteurization means nothing to the centralizing plants, renovating plants, and creameries of Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, and Illinois, of the inde cencies of which I have been an eye witness. I One of these indecencies is sym- I bolized by the strainer found in the ! receiving room of ail such butter | making institutions. I It is the custom in these places to pass the cream delivered by rail or EUUIRISBUItG TEI.EGRAPHI wagon, before it is neutralized witl soda ash, whitewash or Domlnioi Cleanser, through the strainer In or der to extract from it the visible manure which it contains. Dr. E. C. Schroeder of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, Bays con cerning this manure: "Prom all our investigation we know that the commonest way for tubercle bacilli to pass from the bod ies of tubercular cows Is with their feces (manure.) "This fact, together with the com mon presence of tuberculosis among dairy cows and the frequency with which dung is found in the milk that reaches the consumer, is clear evi dence that a considerable proportion of our dairy products is infected with tubercle bacilli. "As long as the use of tubercular cows is permitted by the State the manner in which dairy products are distributed will insure that practic ally every member of the human fam ily is exposed to tuberculosis. "Tuberculosis is so common among dairy cows that milk producers fre quently assert that a milk famine would be one of the results if the tuberculin test were applied to all dairy cattle and if all those reacting were condemned for dairy purposes." The butter industry knows well that one of the prolific sources of bovine tuberculosis in the human family is butter. At enormous expense public insti tutions, some of them privately en dowed and some of them supported by the public treasury, are collecting facts concerning this public health question, tabulating them and dis missing them. While the United States Public Health Service was finding that among 172 samples of city milk ex amined, 121 samples, or 70 per cent., contained a sediment after standing a few hours in the original container, which sediment consisted in part of manure, the dairy school of the Uni versity of Wisconsin was engaged in taking (his manure out of the cream churned by its students into butter without pasteurizing the cream be forehand. Among 44 4 samples of centrifuge slime extracted from butter Drs. Herr and Beliinde, as reported by the United States Government, found 60 samples which contained tubercle bacilli. In refusing to apply the safeguard to their product which pasteurization affords the butter makers, who know only too well the dreadful conditions to be found among the dairy herds of New York. Wisconsin, Towa, Min nesota and Illinois, are deaf to this statement published by the United States Government over the signature of Dr. Schroeder: "Tuberculosis among dairy cows is one of the greatest dangers to which public health is exposed and every effort should be made by those who have the welfare of humanity at heart to correct this groat evil." The voice of Dr. Schroeder will be heard again in these chapters, and as the sins of the butter making industry are one by one laid btfre perhaps the public, through its representatives, will at last be moved to action in its own behalf. \ We shall see. | Attractive Values In Used | I Pianos and Players I |§> Many of them so nearly perfect, it would puzzle an expert to tell them from new. ©jj Your satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.

Market Square § ! ||| (Join this week's Christmas Victrola Club) "CLEAN-UP" SAYS THE HEALTH CHIEF Dr. Dixon Points Out the Way Future Outbreaks of Disease Can Be Avoided State Commissioner of Health Dixon in a statement regarding health is sued on Saturday urges people to clean all the year round. The health chief's remarks are notable because of the prevalence of infantile paralysis this year. Dr. Dixon says: "It used to be the custom for house wives to cleanse their homes twice a year and now advanced sanitation re quires that the home must be kept clean at all times. "The benefit of cleanliness about the home reflects both upon the physical health and the morality of our people. The necessity of cleanliness in our homes has become so manifest that it is not worth while to dwell further upon it. "During the recent battle against in fantile paralysis, we took two small towns which were badly infected with the disease and had the homes cleans ed, insect life destroyed, food kept NOVEMBER 13,'mtiS clean and no garbage, ash piles or manure was allowed to collect. The streets and alleys were made clean in each town and infantile par alysis rapidly disappeared. The cleaning up of the municipalities seem ed to run parallel with the subsiding cf the disease. "The fact that the disease spreads at times beyond the boundary lines of these dirty breeding places is no argu ment against the theory of cleanliness as a preventative of infantile paralysis. At present it is well to look upon filth and insect life as factors taking a large part in permitting the so-called plague to invade our homes. There has been much said upon the possibility of an epidemic next year; This will not necessarily follow. It might, however, and certainly it will, come back some day. "Cleanliness regarding our chil dren, homes, stables, yards and towns as well as guarding our houses from all kinds of insect life must be insist ed upon by each individual citizen and by those in charge of the health and cleanliness of our towns, country, vil lages and homes."
