THE MILK PROBLEM An Article By Dr. James -- Professor of Pathology In Queen's University, Kingston. |; » In view of the interest aroused in the milk problem, largely owing to the series of articles recently pub- lished under the auspices of the Kingston Tuberculosis Soclety, for one of which I was myself respon- sihle, the editor of the Whig has asked me to make. some geneww. statements in simple language for the benefit of the community. Every parent should be keenly interested in obtaining a good and reliable milk supply. It was only when I had%children of my own that I became actively interested in this matter, We who live in the larger centres of population are too apt to take what ig given to us in the way of milk and ask no questions, pro- vided things seem to be-<tolerably well sonjucted. There is a whole- some reminder in the story of the Londoner who on spending a holiday for the first time on a farm com- plained -that whereas in the city he obtained his milk "from a nice clean dairy' in the country he got it from a 'nasty, dirty beast they called a cow." The first thing that we have to ap- preciate is, that milk whatever it is to the adult is essentially the child's food--his meat and his drink, and it is just 'during this childhood period that he ig most susceptible to milk- born disease. The adult can deal with and destroy very much in the | way of germs introduced into his! digestive tract but the child can- not. Hence, if we are to have healthy offspring, we must have good milk. 'We are all much concerned in raising a clean and vigorous race. No mat- ter is more important in this rela- tion than securing good milk for the co ty. \ -- Clean Milk. There are two distinct problems connected with this question of a wholesome milk supply. First there is the problem of obtaining clean milk, that iz milk--free as far as| possible from ordinary germs which occur on skin, on clothes, in soil, in water and in alr, germs which in themselves are not disease producing but which by altering the milk ren- der it unwholesome and, it may be dangerous. And there is, secondly, the problem of preventing the' en- trance of the varieties of germs] which produce definite diseases such: as scarlet fever, diphtheria, dysen- tery and consumption. Let us take these two problems in the order in which they have been mentioned. First then the problem of the or- dinary dirt germ. Here it must be remembered that no fluid could pos- sibly be found more suitable for growing germs in than milk. Germs are mfnute plants which live and grown upoh very much those things which we ourselves use for food. They grow quite readily upon' po- tatoes, bread, eggs and meat ex- tracts. Then remenrber this fact that it takes only some 20 minutes to halt an hour for a germ to grow up, reach maturity afd reproduce its like by dividing into two. Now you might think that this would be a slow process and would result in only a small rate of increase. But let us work it out as a mathematical problem. Let ug accept the rate of division as once in every half hour. Well you start with one germ. the end of an hour you have four but at the end of twelve hours you have sevent¥en million, But there is another factor" of enormous importance in this relation and that is temperature. Germs do not multiply readily in the cold. The temperature which they prefer, most of them, is just the temperature at which ynilk jeaveg the cow--the tem- perature of the body. The nearer the temperature of the medium in which they are is to that of the body the more rapidly do they grow. Three things are clear from this. You must cool the milk down as rapidly as possible after it comes from the cow, you must keep it at as low a temperature as possible until it is swallowed or cooked add you must take these precautions with very much greater care in summer than in winter. : ------ ~ Germs in Milk, Now tro our point of view there are three stages at which these gérms may be introduced or allowed to Inttoduce ihemaeives into milk. 1. During actual process of milk- ing; 2. during the tramsit of the milk from the farm to the consumer, and (3), after it has' reached the con- sumer, Let me deal with these stages in order. Have you ever watched the process of milking? Probably every- one has. But this process can bé carried out in very different ways. The cow is not adturally a cleanly animal nor is man much better for that matter, and you may have seen the milking, process carried out un- der such surroundings and by such individuals that you heartily adore ed the exclamation of our town bred for two years at a wage friend mentioned earlier in this bres. icle. From the skin'of the cow, from the hands and clothes of the milker, from the pails and from the alr, germs may entér in millions and if they emter in millions think how Et 'dishes, ete. --y down rapidly and keeping it cool in all weathers. That is a problem which concerns the dairy farmers, the railway companies and the milk vendors and we need not discuss it further here except to say that the sooner the milk reaches the con- sumer the. better and the cooler it is kept the better and the.less often it is transferred from one receptacle to another the better.

Now as regards the second type_l] |} of germ which may be in milk--the | disease producer. /Thesé disease pro- | ducing germs may come: 1, from the | cow; 2, from the milker or his | family; 3, from some other source such as water mixed with milk, | The most dangerous | germ which can come from the cow | is the tubercle bacillus--the germ of | consumption. Now it is true that | the type of this organism met with | in the cow 1s one which differs from that found in man and that man | 1s not quite so susceptible to its ac- | tion. But it has been proved beyond | possibly of question that a large { proportion of thé tuberculosis which | affects children is due to the cow type of bacillus. The proportion | varies in different parts of thé world depending upon the prevalence of the disease in the herds and the care which is taken in dealing with the milk supply. Dr. Park has found that 25, per cent. of the tuberculosis ! in children in New York is due to this cause. In Scotland the propor- tion is far higher, probably reaching nearly 50 per cent. of all cases of the disease in children. The cow tubercle bacillus only rarely affects the lungs but it readily attacks such parts as the digestive tract, the glands and the bones. Now to obvi- ate this dangerous inféction of milk | you require skilled investigation of the health of the 'cow... lt,is not sufficient merely to find the .udder healthy. It has been proved by the British Royal Commission on Tuber- culosis that a cow with an apparently healthy udder may have tubercle bacilli in its milk, these bacilli eom- ing from some other part of the body than the udder, Fortunately we have a means of finding Sut whether a cow is tuberculous or not ~--the tuberculin test, This test re- quires to be carried out by a skilled person if it is to be relied on. If we are to avoid the danger of infecting our children with tuberculosis there is mo half way house between care- ful, skilled and repeated testing of the herds from which the milk is obtained and boiling or proper pas- teurizing of the milk. Another condition of the cow which may seriously infect milk with dangerous germs is Inflamma- tion of the udder of other kinds than tuberculosis, For this careful and A CARLOAD OF OILCLOTHS AND LINOLEUMS Crepe de Chene Men's Silk and Be sure and see Saturday Night Specials at the Always Busy Store Pink Wrap Around Corsets---all sizes to 32.

It would make an excep- tion in the case of very young chil- dren specially in "hot weather. But under ordinary conditions and with anyone but the very young a good 'milk can be taken raw and untreat- ed and this raw condition is of great! value. The so-called vitamines in which raw milk is rich and which are so essential especially for the- young and growing child are easily destroyed by heat. On the other hand milk which proper precautions are not taken or where it is uncertain what precau- tions are taken should for the use of the child always be treated either by pasteurizing or by boiling. If the pasteurizing process is carried out by the vendor it is advisable that the parent ghould "ascertain that it is properly dome. If it is improperly done it is mere camouflage. y - nso Hemlock Park Stock Farm. When I came to Kingston I made it my business to ascertain where I could get a reliable milk supply for my children. It was my good fortune after sometime to encounter Mr. Fair. I visited his farm gnd 1 i @iual to those ---- in the very best farms of Great Brit- aln the United States. All the | specifically in _this article, | briet for Mr. Fair and I am sure There are other things'which are well worth paying something extra for, amon w® these is good re- {liable "milk. Mr. Fair is clearly not {out to make money, and therefore his public spirited action in offering to the citizens of Kingston an excel- lent article at a very low price de- serves all the support we can give it and that is why IT mention him 1 hold no that others of the dairy farms and milk vendors of Kingston district are striving after a similar high stand- ard of milk. - As I have stated else- where repeatedly, in my opinion, the milk supply of the city is on the whole good, but I have no doubt at all that it could be improved. The public obtaing pretty-much what ft asks for in such a matter as milk supply. If it is passive on the ques- tion it gets an infeffor article but if it interests itself and states just what it wants the demand will create the supply. | awams ACTIVITIES.
