When the Reichsbahn became a cor-

for replacements in roadbeds, rolling
stocks and station equipment which
had been neglected during the war
and the inflation period. T1ie direct-

Canned Substitute Advised
Where Safety Process
Impossible ,
Every village, town and city itt Can-
adit, should take immediate steps to
prohibit the use of unpasteurized milk,
in the opinion of Dr. Fred W. Routley,
director of the 'Ontario Division of the
Canadian Red Cross.
"For 25 years we have known that
raw, unpasteurized milk, is unsafe- and
yet there are few localities which have
by-laws to prohibit its use."
There were only two kinds of milk
which could be used with safety, Dr.
Routley declared, •pasteurized milk or
canned milk.
Canned milks, he pointed out, are
prepared under the Dominion pure
foods act supervision, and are quite
dependable in contrast to the danger-
ous unpasteurized mik for adults and
children, healthful or undernourished
persons.
Germs in milk that has not been
pasteurized, he declared, can lead to
such diseases as streptococcic infection
of the throat, scarlet fever, typhoid
fever, diphtheria, most of the conta-
gious diseases, and even bovine tuber-
culosis. Dirty, unpasteurized milk, he
asserted, was "the most terrific cause"
of intestinal and other diseases of in-
fants.
Very few centres forbade the distri-
bution and sale of unpasteurized milk,
Dr. Routley lamented, and this was
even more serious when it was real-
ized that the diseases carried in un-
pasteurized milk might attack anybody Authority at Rome Says
