Pasteurizing the Milk Supply.
Pasteurisation of the milk supply
was recommended In n report issued
by the committee on the sanitary re
lations ot the milk supply of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This body, .consisting of emlnont
specialists, has adopted the plan'
which has been advocated for New
York city by Nathan Straus, as the
result of his long experience In reduc
ing Infantile mortality by supplying
pasteurised milk for the poor ot hts
city.
The committee. In an exhaustive re
port, has this word for the opponents
of pasteurisation:
"These men evidently do not
know and cannot know that such
hydra-headed diseases as cholera
Infantum, scarlet fovor.nnd diphthe
ria havo been disseminated in tlio
milk supply; that typhoid fever
epidemics have been thus caused,
end that milk may bo the vehicle
of the germs of tuberculosis and
other lnfoctlous diseases and mor
bific agents.”
While Indorsing certified milk, the
committee says:
. "Certified milk Is reasonably
' safe, but thla Is no guarantee that
it may not occasionally contain i
genus of disease, and those who
desire to guard against this slight
risk should pasteurise It lu tho
home.”
Pasteurisation Is urgently recom
mended by the committee In these
rorda: v
“It must be apparent that It ylll
require time and education to se
cure compliance with oven reason
able safeguards, and It Is cqtinl.ly
evident that the number of dairy
farms now In iiositlon to live up
to sanitary requirements will sup
ply but a small percentage of tho
population, although It Is hoped
that they will be stimulated into
existence by trado competition
and the refusal of the public to
buy dirty milk at any price.
“Until this Is accomplished, the
committee, iq tho Interest of pub
lic health, btrongly advocates clar
ification and pasteurization ot all
mil If; this, to be sure, wilt not
make bad milk good, but It will at
least destroy lu power to trans
mit disease germs.
“Your committee also believes
that this object can be most elli-
clently and economically secured
by fhe establishment of a pasteur
ising plant, provided by tho Dis
trict government, or preferably by
private enterprise, which plant
should be under the supervision
of the health department.
“There Is every argument from
a commercial and sanitary stand
point In favor of n .central plant
erected within reasonable dis
tance front the Union depot, where
all the milk for the city should be
received afid prepared for distribu
tion.
“Such a step would result In the
creation of suitable conditions for
tho proper handling and storage
of milk, aterillsatlon of milk cans
and utensils and the efforts of tho
local milk dealers to provide de
cent facilities for tbelr 150 or
more dairies scattered over the
city, all more or laaa liable to In
fection. could be concentrated In
one plant with a decided saving of
expense.” ' •
In conclusion the committee says:
“Your committee Is so strongly
Impressed with the manifold dan
gers connected with Use milk sup
ply. that until the needful reforms
In dairy methods are accomplish
ed. we recommend to the public
ss an Immediate safeguard:

A PLEA FOR THE PERMANENT HOMESTEAD.
There comes to The Georgian a wedding Invitation In letters of
white and gold. Neither tho names nor the city are of interest to the
general public, but the location of the wedding Is at “Oraaamere," High
lands. ,
It is of these two words that we would write.
"Grassmerc, Highlands,” la undoubtedly the. name of a homo in or
nround a city of greater or lesser population. It (p evidently a homo In
which the owner takes prttjf, because he has given It a name that he
'hopes to havo It hold antll the end of time. It Is a beautiful name filled
with suggestions of lawns, of verdure, with the sweep of hills and the
whllf of mountain hreexos.
__ But the giving of the name points-tho suggestion that we are com
ing more and more happily and wholsomely In Jhls Southern • country to
the building of iiermnnont homes which are to bo the family seats of our
successful and famous people and noo less of those of those in the quieter
walks of life.
There Is no prospect brighter In the future hoorscope of the South
than the multiplication of homes and their beautifying to permanent ends.
Thirty years ago Judge James Jackson made at the University of
Georgia tho best commencementspeech that wo havo over heard there.
Its subject was "Tho Permanent Homestead,” and It dealt with the Eng
lish Ideal of home—that family seat that was handed down from genera
tion to generation through oldest son to oldest son until the family and
tho family scat were Inseparably connected In the mind and memory, not of
one, but of many generations, and tho man and the home became Insepa
rable In the history ot the kingdom of England.
Philosophers have well declared that this Is the foundation ot the Eng
lish character, amT that the stability ot the English government and the
British people Is based upon the permanency in transmission of the Eng
lish homestead.
A city of homes or a country of homes Is a city and country of un
dying patriotism. But a land whose people live exclusively In tenements,
In flats, lu boarding houses and In hotels, have sqch transient and feeble
love for tho soil that they fall more easily a victim to civic disloyalty and
to restless change.
We rejoice wherever wo see It and whoever owns It In the sight of
a beautiful homo. Every beautiful home Is a distinct and noble part of
the riches of the commonwealth.
Every city castle and every country estate, whether It be large or small,
if It shows tho caro and dovotlon of a long lino of owners of the same
family, Is a pledge to the future of the permanency of the republic and
virtue of tho people.
And so while some of us who are not so fortunate may look some
times with yearning and envy on stately and beautiful homes which are
growing In a.id about Atlanta, let us remember that tho care and the mon-
, ey bestowed upon them and that the solid and substantial splendor of their
foundations Is laying deep a basis of our best patriotism snd the largest
loyalty which our land contains. For the great home Is the model and the
Inspiration of the smaUor home.
Tho best spirit Is to believe thqt we are part owners In our neigh
bors' homos, (n the royal proprietorship of the eye and of the Imagination,
wo are all co heirs and co-proprietors with the owner. His lawns delight
and rest our tired eyes as well as his, and so long as they pass before us
wo own them In the sovereign sijppe of sight and smell. The stately
lines and pillars ot the residence can fill our minds and hearts through
the cyos with admiration and uplifting pleasure In which the owner bas
only one advantage of us and that the consciousness ot ownership.
And so let us rejoice In this great country of ours In the multiplica
tion of great and well founded and stately homesteads.
Thoy are not only monuments of diligence and success, but they are .
stately pledges ot prosperity and of civic loyalty.
Tie the American citizen' and the generations that follow him to a
beautiful homestead and a beautiful homo filled with relics and souve
nirs and stately trophies ot culture, of daring and of character, and there
aro tew men who would not die twice as cheerfully for a country of which
they had budded so beautiful and so substantial a part
The vainglorious boasters of rabbit-
fattened bass, and Trenton limestone
shad will retire to the background
when the Georgia watermelon Is “In
our midst.”
In enumerating our summer bless
ings let us not forget that wo are rid
ot Tbaw and Corey.
MAY ATLANTA’S MONUMENTS MULTIPLY.
Tho unvtlllng of the Gordon monument wlll v emphasize among other
things the searelty of statues In Atlanta.
The statue of Henry'Grady, nt the corner of Forsyth and Marietta
streets, tho statue of Ben 1IIII which once stood at the Intersection of
the Pcarlitrees but non- stands on the capital, and this statue of General
Gordon uro the only ones which mark the heroic appreciation of a people
for Its greet men.
Of these, only two, the Gordon and the Grady statues, stand out-doors.
This fnct may bo explained In part by the newness of Atlnntd. We are
one of the youngest of the larger ctles of America, and are perhaps less
rich In traditions and memories than others who have weathered various
vicissitudes In different eras In our national life.
We cannot persuade ourselves that Atlanta Is now or will ever be lack
ing In appreciation of Its great men. The lesson of tomorrow which may
be pointed for today pending the personal discussions of ths ceremony la
the fact that a city or a state honoore Itself when It erects out-doors In the
eye of all the pcoplo figures In marble or In bronsa which tell the story
of great lives to tho young men and maidens, the old men and ths stalwart
citizens of a commonwealth of a brave, strong and useful public life, whose
high motives were redeemed.In great words or In great deeds and whose
lives and characters are ths torches by which we light our youth to noble
lives and to larger history f/r the future.
There are other men asleep in Gsargla soil who deserve a monument
In the eye of Georgia men and women. The Georgian shall always be glad
to co-operute In movements which look to the erection of these shining
shafts of memory and of inspiration and It Is Just as well to establish
now the spirit and tbs custom of honoring our great citizens ot the present
and of the future by giving their features and their fame to marble and to
bronse In the adornment of our public parks and thoroughfares.
A great figure cast In bronse Is a great lesson to aspiring youth
and Is worth to the future as much as a school and more than a thou
sand plntltudes.
May our monuments multiply In the years that are to eome.
Modesty, a quality not hampering
some contemporaries we shall refrain
from naming, hag prevented. The
Georgian from shewing undue zeal
extolling the various good things pro
duced In Georgia. 'However, we can
not refrain from reminding those wljo
boost Potomac shad, Texas strawber
ries and Charleston whale, that the
real, genuine, Juicy red-hearted Geor
gia watermelon will be on tho market
shortly.

The best Democrat Is the man who

We are quite sure If Senator Culber
son, of Texas, could have his way
about It, he would havo been born In
Georgia. But then The Houston Post
would not have been able to contain
Its enthusiasm in s single dally Issue.
There are some evidences of coquet
ry In tho suburbs, which serious At
lanta Is beginning to protest.
High taxes In the snburbs are re
deemed by high advantages In the
house and In the kitchen. Water,
lights, schools and gas balance tho
books In the long run.

“Is it because he doosn’t believe
the paragrapher can Inherit tho
Kingdom of Heaven that the editor
of Tha Atlanta Georgian lias
bounced the clever chap who used
to do that stunt, and give us
points?—Newark Star.
He will never be fired. His namq
is John Roese, and the editorial regret
Is, In tho fact that his absorption In
ither departments docs imt give us
the more frequent gleam of his pen.
He Is the only paragrapher we know
who has a chance at the Kingdom.

“Our Canal.”
When Birmingham wnnted a
suhtreasury Atlanta rushed in and
wanted It also. When the Atlan
tic and Birmingham road was pro
jected. a branch Hue was bought
and run Into Atlanta. Atlanta at
once claimed tho whole line ns
her territory.
When The Ledger begun to agi
tate for a canal from the Tennes
see river through Birmingham to
the Warrior,' Atlanta cornea forth
and wants a canal from the Ten
nessee through Gadsden to Atlan
ta. Now, Birmingham wants At
lanta to have all she can get, but
she wants her to be more origi
nal. Birmingham is going to have
that canal and It is to start at or
near Huntersville and come right
on hens, then down the Valley
Creek to tho Warrior, then on to
Tuscaloosa. Atlanta ran have her
a canal ot her own, but she must
let our Gutucrsvlllo terminus
alone.—Birmingham Ledger.
This comes from our saucy and as
piring “little city of the anvils" over
In Alabama.
Birmingham bns great and well-
seems to think that Its best chance of
realising them Is to fall Into Atlanta's
wake and compete with the Gate City
for every Southern enterprise.
I t this Instance, though, there ought
to be a compromise. The Atlanta
and Birmingham railway and the At
lanta and 'Birmingham canal should
be two links liquid and long lived
that shall bind us together—until the
subtreasury looms again.
When The Georgian first queried as
to the hereafter of tho paragrapher.
It had no (den of flushing so many
uneasy consciences. Frankly, the In
terrogation was leveled particularly at
the heads of the paragraphers of The
Washington Herald and The Houston
Post, apparently the most Incorrigi
ble of the clan. Both have made futile
attompta to answer. Now cornea The
Newark Star In a frenzied effort at
self-exculpation by asserting that The

(Wrltten for The Georgian for the unveiling of the monument of General
John B. Gordon.)
The hard, cold bronze enfolds undying fame:
Warm, Jiving hearts enshrine the love we bear.
The throats of thousands swell with one great name
Far distance hears, and quick takes up, the cheer.
Fit 'tis that Time should pause in his hot span
To reck high deeds encountered on his way;
To bring the Present back tjiat wondrous man
Who held the center on red Sharpsburg day.
Then, with great torrents gushing from mute lips
Of five sore wounds, he thought had ended lire,
lie waved gay jest with shattered finger tips,
To cheer the anguish of his brave, true wife.
E ’en Glory paused upon her winged way,
Fame bent her haughty head to hide her tear:
Matrons and maidens twine his wreath today,
While men his valor and his worth revere.
" •
Fitting that daughters, worthy of such sire,
Should loose the cord that holds ’bout him that Flag
He bore the last, ’mid hail and sheeted fire,
And shouted “Forward!” while his tongue could wag.
Hail to that Chief! whose deeds are richest gold,
That molten by tho patriotic glow,
Runs through each vein, to cast for young and old,
Ileart-Btatues warmed by every ebb and flow.
Adown the aisles of Honor and Renown,
He walks with Truth and Histr’y hand-in-hand,
Who climbed the heights and won the laurel crown,
Made amaranth by ev’iy Christian land.
So, this bronze statue is a copied thing
From those heart-statues ail his past has wrought,
Whose towering grandeur Art and Poetry sing
To humble home-cots and to distant thought.
Yet, both shall live enduring—bronze and deed—
To tell the Future of that mighty Past,
So long as men in living letters read
Of impulse high that wins achievement vast.
There shall he stand, while busy tongues of men
Recount his worth in peace, no less than war;
The great dead lives beneath his starry pall—
