A JOLT TO MOTHERS We are always learning something, and 'the latest information is that sterclizod milk is bad for children. An English expert, lir. R. L. Mond, said it tended to tuberculosis. The idea is not endorsed by one of Am- erica's greatest scientists, "Dr. S. W. Nowmayer, of Philadelphia, and by the Bureau of Health, but he at- tacks sterilization in no uncertain way. He says that few specialists on the diseases of 'children recom- mended sterilized milk, and it was im- properly pasteurized. 'Careful in- vestigations by the government have shown," -says Dr. = Newmayer, "that 'milk raised to a high enough = tem- perature to become sterilized many of its nutritive qualities des troyed. Very few cases of tubercu- losis 1m, either children ' or grown per- sons have been traced to milk, and even in these it has been a question whather tha cow was' tuburcular. " Ourbreaks of typhoid fever: and dyph- sthevia have been forced to milk fre quently, 'but the germs of these dis- | eases have always been introduced in- ta the milk after it Jdt the cow. It is possible that. children fed on sterilized milk exclusively would be- come weakened and subject to tu- berctlosis because the nutritive value . of the flood bad been destroyed." This is a knock at pasteurization and sterilization. Both can be conduct- od with beneficial results, under train- ed sclentists, but heating without dis- crimination is destructive of the nu- trition in the milk, and this fact should not be ignored. The Monacle" Man, in the Canadian | Courier, expresses his strong opposi- tion to the referendum. Let us have no more about it here. It seemed to be a t. thing until it was tried, then the people showed that they had use for it. At least they did not vote upon the questions that were referred to 'them.
