refuse to give the public proper pro- 
tection from the evils of impure milk. 
Our State Board of Health ought to 
have appropriations, inspectors and 
the law to safeguard our milk supply. 
The long suffering public, which pays 
over twenty-five million dollars a year 
for the milk which it consumes, is en- 
titled to reasonable protection, and 
they are bound to get it. 
Destroy THE Motu Nests 
The Beverly Improvement society 
is as usual alert to the many avenues 
of progress. Under their direction 
one-half of the public roads have been 
cleared of tent caterpillars by the boys 
of the Baptist church. The other 
half have been completed by the moth 
department of the city of Beverly. 
Similar work has been carried on by 
the authorities in Manchester and at 
Magnolia. Effective work in the ex- 
termination of caterpillars can be 
done through the co-operation of 
‘property owners. Cottage dwellers 
should exteminate all such caterpil- 
lars at once; property owners should 
instruct caretakers to look carefully 
after this pest. Fifteen minutes’ 
work now will prevent destructive in- 
roads by these pests later in the sea- 
son. 
New respect is being felt in New 
York for the way in which the grand 
jury under Dist. Atty. Whitman is 
being made an agency for protecting 
the public interest. It has been em- 
ployed relentlessly to probe police ini- 
quity and other shortcomings in pub- 
lic places. Now follows the indict- 
ment of State Senator Stillwell on 
bribery charges that were investigated 
by the lawmaking body of which he 
was a member. His  exoneration 
there is now to be inquired into at 
the hands of Mr. Whitman, who re- 
gards this case as of “paramount im- 
portance” and he will push it as 
speedily as possible. This shows that 
there is less need for new laws and 
a more vigorous application of those 
already in force. 
Strewing the roads with nails to 
puncture auto tires will hardly gain 
the militants as many votes as would 
starting free dispensaries of gasoline.

FRIEDMANN’S “CURE” 
The report of the United States 
government surgeons and medical of- 
ficers that “the facts thus far observed 
in Dr. Friedmann’s method of treat- 
ing tuberculosis do not justify that 
confidence in the remedy which has 
been inspired by widespread publicity” 
should be noted by everyone who has 
interested himself in the professed 
cure of the German doctor. It is 
claimed on this good authority that 
no specific cure for the dread disease 
has been found as yet to warrant the 
confidence of the public or the medical 
profession. 
This fact, coupled with the resolu- 
tion almost exactly the same as adopt- 
ed by the national association for the 
study and prevention of tuberculosis, 
shows that there is no possible bias 
shown the German savant because the 
latter association is composed, not only 
of physicians, but of a large number 
of social workers and students of 
tuberculosis who have no interest in 
the Friedmann case other than to seek 
an ultimate cure. 
The action of the government sur- 
geons in publishing their observations 
is amply justified, in view of the con- 
duct of Dr. Friedmann in so quickly 
commercializing his proposition. The 
resolution adopted by the national as- 
sociation is to be welcomed in the in- 
terests of suffering humanity. The 
doctor and his turtle vaccine have 
steadily lost the confidence, during the 
past few weeks, of most persons who

CKPORT 
really know anything about tubercu- 
losis. Present methods of treating 
the disease should not be abandoned 
because of the claims of Dr. Fried- 
mann. 
BarrED FroM REVERE BEACH 
BOULEVARD 
Motorists are to be barred from 
part of the Revere Beach boulevard 
this summer on Saturday, Sunday and 
holiday afternoons and evenings. A 
rule has just been issued by the Met- 
ropolitan Park Commission, which 
will go into effect on June 17 and 
continue until and including Labor 
Day, which: closes the boulevard from 
the end of the Revere Beach park- 
way all the way along where the 
beach is built up with amusement 
places as far as Revere street. The 
hours when motor vehicles will be ex- 
cluded are between 2 and II p. m. 
This rule will compel motorists who 
wish to follow the shore route to 
Lynn and the North Shore, to drive | 
through Ocean avenue in the rear of 
the boulevard, where the street rail- 
way tracks are located. 
The latest things to pop up in 
Revere are its tax scandal and another 
murder. ‘This is the third murder 
this town has had to talk about with- 
in a few weeks and it is keeping its 
reputation up admirably.

his greed, not what he misses,
