THE MILK SITUATION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. 223 



It is more susceptible for reasons given above. (Dr. Henry L. Colt, New- 

 ark, N.J.) 



Yes. (Dr. R. G. Freeman, New York, N. Y.) 



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



Yes; depending on interpretation of "modified milk." (Health officer Ann 

 Arbor, Mich. ) 



Depends upon conditions. (Health officer Baltimore, Md.) 



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



Why not? Health officer Columbus, Ohio.) 



Yes. (Health officer Detroit, Mich.) 



Yes; unless pasteurized milk is kept at too high a temperature. (Health 

 officer Jacksonville, Fla.) 



Yes. (Health officer Kansas City, Mo.) 



Modified milk may be raw; ought to be. (Health officer Lynchburg, Va.) 



What do you consider modified milk? We modify milk for infant feeding. 

 (Health officer Portland, Oreg.) 



Yes. (Health officer Providence, R. I.) 



Yes. (Health officer Richmond, Va.) 



Probably not. (Health officer Seattle, Wash.) 



Yes. (Health officer Syracuse, N. Y.) 



Yes. (Health officer Topeka, Kans.) 



We pasteurize all our modified milk. (Straus Laboratory, Washington, D. C.) 



Have not made any comparison. (Sharon Dairy, District of Columbia.) 



If it is a modified condensed milk, it possesses much better keeping qualities 

 than either raw or pasteurized milk. (Borden's Condensed Milk Co., New 

 York, N. Y.) 



Modified milk is delivered raw unless the physician's prescription calls for 

 pasteurization, and if so, the physician usually names the temperature and 

 length of time of heating. (Walker-Gordon Laboratory, Washington, D. C.) 



Yes. (Dr. V. C. Vaughan, Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



I have not compared them. (Dr. S. C. Prescott, Boston, Mass.) 



No. (J. M. Houston, White Cross Milk Co., Washington, D. C.) 



Yes; more. (Health officer San Francisco, Cal.) 



Yes. (Dr. Samuel McC. Hamill, Philadelphia, Pa.) 



No. (Health officer Scranton, Pa.) 



QUESTION 22. How does its price compare with that of raw milkt 



ANSWERS. 



Modified milk commands a higher price than ordinary raw milk. (Chief 

 Bureau of Animal Industry.) 



I am not informed on this point. My impression is that it is more expensive. 

 (Surgeon General U. S. Army.) 



Probably higher. (Surgeon General U. S. Navy.) 



Since modified milk is prepared in accordance with physicians' formulae, and 

 requires expert knowledge in its modification, it would naturally be more 

 expensive. (Surgeon General Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service.) 



The nurse or physician who directs its modification generally charges for 

 his or her services; therefore, milk properly modified should have such ex- 

 penses added to it. (Dr. Henry L. Coit, Newark, N. J.) 



Considerable increase. (Health officer Baltimore, Md.) 



Modified milk is higher in price because it is prepared under very exacting 

 precautions. (Health officer Birmingham, Ala.) 



Higher. (Health officer Bismarck, N. Dak.) 



From 2 cents to 9 cents per quart more than ordinary market milk. (Health 

 officer Cleveland, Ohio.) 



Depends on method of modification. (Health officer Columbus Ohio ) 



Higher. (Health officer Detroit, Mich.) 



Higher. (Health officer Kansas City, Mo.) 



Modified milk, of course, is higher. (Health officer Lynchburg, Va.) 



What do you consider modified milk? We modify milk for infant feeding 

 (Health officer Portland, Oreg.) 



Much higher. (Health officer Providence, R. I.) 



Cheaper (volume for volume) if made in the home. More costly if pur- 

 chased from a laboratory making a specialty of modified milk. (Health officer 

 Richmond, Va.)
