established, and its products are guaranteed always to be up to 

 the official requirements as to milk fat, natural flavors and 

 absence of chemicals and preservatives. All the milk is care- 

 fully strained, electrically treated by a process which practically 

 pasteurizes it without leaving any taste, usually noticeable in 

 ordinary pasteurized milk. As this Association handles nearly 

 75 per cent, of the milk consumed in Honolulu, and as the 

 process carries with it the cooling of the milk to nearly 40° F., 

 its beneficial, effect is obvious, especially as the official require- 

 ments are complied with so long as the milk producer cools his 

 milk to 11° F.. which is practically no cooling at all as this tem- 

 perature hardly inhibits the development of micro-organisms in 

 any perceptible degree. Cold storage rooms, ice machine and 

 artesian well are some of the other improvements of the Associa- 

 tion's worth mentioning, and scrupulous cleanliness is enforced 

 throughout everv step in the preparation of the milk and its 

 products for local market. So long as these conditions prevail I 

 can recommend the Association's products to the practicing phy- 

 sicians of Honolulu, and would suggest that a visit to the prem- 

 ises would, perhaps more than anything I can tell you, convince 

 vou of the truth of mv statements.
