210 THE MILK SITUATION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. 



A proposiion of supply and demand with reference to price. (Health officer 

 Portland, Oreg.) 



To no great extent, if public are not frightened by sensational articles. 

 (Health officer Providence, R. I.) 



Impossible to say ; but even if this should result, still the sale of fresh milk 

 will increase when the people know it is safe. Many will give up these substi- 

 tutes, thus offsetting the other. (Health officer Richmond, Va.) 



I do not know. Do not believe to any extent. The milkman is afraid he 

 would not get his trade again. (Health officer Rochester, N. Y.) 



Many families in this city during the last two years are using cow's milk 

 because they believe that it is now wholesome. At that time they were using 

 canned milk in not a few cases. (Health officer Seattle, Wash.) 



Not at all. (Health officer Syracuse, N. Y.) 



Only so far as the price would be a consideration. The people much prefer 

 the fresh article when they can get it. (Health officer Topeka, Kans.) 



Can't tell. Certainly it ought to be coupled with a campaign of education 

 against use of such prepared foods for infants. (Straus Laboratory, Washing- 

 ton, D. C.) 



It would have a tendency to increase the sale. (Sharon Dairy, District of 

 Columbia.) 



To a considerable degree. It is very hard to state as to just exactly what 

 extent. (Borden's Condensed Milk Co., New York, N. Y.) 



I do not know. (Dr. V. C. Vaughan, Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



Greatly. (Dr. S. C. Prescott, Boston, Mass.) 



Large quantities of sweetened and unsweetened condensed milks would be 

 used. (J. M. Houston, White Cross Milk Co., Washington, D. C.) 



It would undoubtedly cause at least a temporarily increased demand for such 

 products. (Health officer St. Joseph, Mo.) 



I do not know. (Health officer Wheeling, W. Va.) 



Probably increase it temporarily. Establish the same requirements for milk 

 used in the manufacture of these products. (Dr. Samuel McC. Hamill, Phila- 

 delphia, Pa.) 



Increase the manufacture and sale to about 50 per cent. (Health officer 

 Scranton, Pa.) 



QUESTION 8. Are these prepared milks as nutritious as raw or properly 



pasteurized milkf 



ANSWERS. 



This depends upon the character and method of preparation. Some prepared 

 milks are not as nutritious as raw or properly pasteurized milk. (Chief Bureau 

 of Animal Industry.) 



They are not as desirable for the feeding of infants. (Surgeon General 

 U. S. Army.) 



No. (Surgeon General U. S. Navy.) 



This question involves consideration of each individual preparation. ( Sur- 

 geon General Public Health and Marine- Hospital Service.) 



Not prepared to answer. Believe they are poor permanent substitutes. (Dr. 

 William H. Park, New York, N. Y.) 



Rating raw milk at 100, would place condensed milk at 20, and powdered 

 milk at 10. (Dr. Henry L. Coit, Newark, N. J.) 



Probably they are. (Dr. R. G. Freeman, New York, N. Y.) 



Some are; many not; many almost worthless. (Dr. M. P. Ravenel, Madi- 

 son, Wis.) 



Substitutes are much more dangerous for infants than pasteurized milk. 

 (Dr. C. E. A. Winslow, New York, N. Y.) 



No. (Health officer Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



We prefer the raw milk or fresh milk. (Health officer Atlanta, Ga.) 



I think not. (Health officer Baltimore, Md.) 



I would not consider them so. (Health officer Birmingham, Ala.) 



No. (Health officer Bismarck, N. Dak.) 

 . No. (Health officer Cleveland, Ohio.) 



No. (Health officer Columbus, Ohio.) 



No. (Health officer Detroit, Mich.) 



I am convinceathat they are not. (Health officer Jacksonville, Fla.) 



No. (Health officer Kansas City, Mo.)
