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: “Subject all your milk to home Vaateurixatio*. by simply bringing It to the boning point, and after cooling, keep the mflfc^W feet III* ' will destroy germ Ilfs and reduce the chances of milk-borne dis eases to a minimum, and If we can reduce our typhoid fovcf rate even only 10 per cent by thlsjsim- ptc method, not to mention Infan tile diarrhoeas and other Jnfec- tlous diseases.

What, therefore, can be more timely than the expert opinions of students on this vital quesUon? but tho paragraphers—well, that Is an other matter. 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. Even the poets are prodding the par agraphed He had better repent. The best Democrat Is the man who supports Democratic principles and Is not so slavishly loyal to bosses and leaders. «» 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. The sweet girl graduate Is several length In advance of the June Elbertal lengths In advance of the June Elberta round? “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. They are multiplying Republican presidential candidates too fast. It creates the suspicion that the G. O. P. Is aa much at sea as we are—with only single pilot at the helm. “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 Georgian meant "good” paragraphers. | Not In a life time.
