After roll-call and reading of the minutes of the December 
meeting, the regular order of business was suspended, and George 
Abbott was introduced as speaker of the evening. He announced 
as his subject “ The Milk Question,” and first spoke of the milk 
supply of Philadelphia, maintaining that it was comparatively 
above reproach, as the reports show only about 3 to 5 per cent, 
of adulterated milk, which he thought was very small when we 
consider the vast amount consumed here (annually about 97,- 
000,000 quarts), and the many sources from which it comes. Jer-
