 MilK I PURE MM | INTERESTING DEMON- I STRATION AT-SWANSEA1 I CAMPAIGN OPENS I I Important and vitally interesting ad- dresses by two of the greatest milk autho- rities in the country as well as by local officiate, were given at a meeting in the lectute room at the Free Library, Swan- sea, on Friday evening. Prof. H. R. Venward, C.M.G., M.B.. D.Ph., F.R.S.E, who preside-d over a good attendance having Pemarked that there was no question among the many health problems- of more importance than that of clean milk, said there were, up and down the country, dairymen and milk com- panics who had shown the greatest ap- preciation of the necessity of improve- ments in its handling and collection. Whi1 those who knew the internal con- ditions of the dairy farms, and the diffi- cultiee of the railway companies, realised it vr46 not an easy matter to produce an ideally 6afe milk suppiy, free from dirt, they knew that the milk supply generally was easily capable 01 very great improve- meat; DIRT WORSE THAN TUBERCULOSIS, j L..l- mere were two proDiexns: uiav ox mwi- euic-5is—very prevalent amongst herds 111 .zliis and other countries—and that of dirt, tox which there wa6 no really satisfactory remedy once it was in the milk, since hl- ^tiation only removed the least objection- able dirt, and made not tne sngrtwet fjiiferenee bacteriologically. Dirt was in. finitely the more important, because the considerable suffering and mortality pro- duced by tuberculosis in milk wa.s only a tithe of that produced by the dirt in it- that dirt not necessarily getting into the milk at the farm or in transit, but some- times by the faulty 01 bad arrangements made in the home. This was proved bv the fact that breast- fed infants almost entirely escaped, a.s they did. in institutions, where the germs were killed by heating. If everybody but knew the great suffering and mortality due to this faulty handling, collection and storage, there would soon be grea+ improvements in all thrve. (Applause.) INFANTILE MORTALITY IN SOUTH I WALES. Mr. Wm. Buckley, chairman of the; QpTUKftl of the National Clean Milk Society, who :s incidentally a tenant farther and Director of Milk Supplies r the Ministry of Food, leptured very I efEtctively. with the aid of striding elides, ia"«upport of the Society's object: "To riise tie h,ygien;c standard of milk and j milk produce, and educate the public as ) to the important* of a clean and whole- I some milk supply." Early it transpired that South Wales was one of the districts with the highest infantile mortality in the Kingdom. The official clean milk centres in New York C/ity, selling only Grade A milk, were ghjjwg by diagram to have bsen respon- siblo for a great reduction in infantile mortality. These had been an entire suc- cess. 'Milk had an even higher food value than the calory tables showed, and even a £ '3atet winter's high prices, which must have to be charged also next winter, it upasr a comparatively cheap food EFFECT OF GRADING. I Mr. Buckley argued that a great im- provement in the quality of the supply be secured by the system of grad- ing milk on the basis of its qualdity, jUlSt like every other artiolie was graded. While one man could sell bad milk at the iame price as another eoWpureat the expense of an up-to-date sterilising plant, they were supposing that the man who wished improvements made was a philanthropist. In New York this system had not only resulted in the pro- duction of the highest quality milk in the lower grades, but had actually in- creased the consumption per head till it was double that of London, and while 99 per oent. of London's milk was grade three, none of New York's was. And tie milt consumption of the poor in New York was 40 per cont. mure than among tOt-, riafce^ The lecturer further pointed out that cleanliness of person and of method were even more important than surroundings. and that the present system of inspection wsis not at all a help to the former. In cop^lnjsion, he eaid: What we have to do. as a nation is to get more and better milk, -and we have to see that more milk h reaches the poorer classes; therefore you have to keep prices as low as possible. So far as producere are concerned we can got I that by quality of cows, while distributors —both wholmale and retail—can curtail overlapping in methods." (Applause). LOCAL VIEWS. I In a discussion Dr. Francis (M.O.H. at Llanolly), said the bad conditions illus- trated were prevalent. He believed ex- perienced in child welfare work at Llanelly i had proved that children flourished better on pure fresh milk than on milk that had lost some of its qualities in sterilisation. Mr. H. Davios (Mansflton), chairman of the Swansea Milk Vendors' Associa- tion-, thought South Wales was advancing in- this matter, and instanced a recent resolution on the scalding of the cans • before returning them to the farmer. .v.V.TV.. He did not think the retailer was mainly to blame, and believed they needed to; educate the farmer THE FARMER'S ATTITUDE. I Dr. Bowen Jones, M.O H. at Carmar- then, in a' deliciously' humorous speech, wpoko of the 'difficulty of getting jxrople to see the need of cleanliness in yards, etc., where, manure, etc., neutralised all good arrangements in the sheds, and of how money on paving in the latter had been wasted because the drains were I wrongly placed. The owners of such places, when he gave advice, retorted, Ob, you're a doctor! What do you know I about it?" He knew some who were very enlightened on these things, and had 4-xoellent arrangements. As clean as a I dairy and as lighted as a greenhouse ) would be his ideal of a cowhouse. I Mr. Arthur Williams (Cardiff), Assis- tant Milk Commissioner for Wales, did not regard the problem as an impossible on?. The farmers had not been properly or seriously approa' Ind before, and he was hopeful of this campaign. Locally, the mi!? producing indm,try was growing, :md the G.W.R. was treating it seriously j by putting on an evening milk train from Neyland as from next Monday. j This would make a huge difference in tho < warm weather. But there was a respon- eibility with the retailer and the con- slimer in the matter of the way they handled and stored the milk. I THE CONSUMER'S PART. Mr. Gladstone Davies (Veterinary In. specter to Swansea Corporation) said they had had too much of one party: blaming one or both the others. The primary need was education, and if they j could get enthusiastic and intelligent as well as honest and conscientious pro- ducers, they would have gone a long way towards solving a problem that unfor- tunately did not appeal to the popular imagination. But so long as the con- I ,-umer did not care what his milk was' or where it came from, 90 long would j I present conditions continue. i A DEMONSTRATION. Clean Milking Exhibition at Singleton. bingleton rarm, bketty, had more visi- tors an Friday afternoon than it has bad fc- years—doctors, veterinary surgeons, sanitary inspectors, farmers and dairy- men, for there was to be a demonstration of clean milking conducted by Mr. Wil- fred Buckley, chairman of Coun.cil" Natio. nal Clean Milk Society, by the Misses Westray and girls employed on the farm. A great throng, of quite 60 persons crowded into and around the sheds. Among them were Dr. T. Evans (M.O.H.), Dr. Hughes (Carmarthen), Dr. Pritchard (A beravon). Dr. Williams (Mountain Ash), Dr. and Mrs. Francis (Llanelly), Dr. J. Owen Jones (Carmarthen), Dr. G. Arbour Stephens (Swansea), Capt. Biis- sett (West Glam. Farmers' Association). Mr. Walter Williams (Agricultural Or- ganisation Society), assistant milk com- missioner for Wft loe; Messrs. Gladtone Davi es (Swansea), W. Evans'(chairman Rural District Counc, W. J. Lambert Ifood inspector), Dd. Morgan (Mayor of Kidwelly), Dd. Edwards (surveyor and sanitary inspector, Kidwclly), and W. Williams; Mr. Victor Evans (food execu- tive officer), Ald. W. J. Cery, Ald. John Jordan, Ald. Dd. Williams, Councillors D. J. Davies and W. Owen; Major Pol- lard, Messrs. A. E. Fursland, J. W. Ar- nold, Phillips (Haverfordwest), and the, folowing sanitary inspectors-Messrs. I D, R. Thomas (Swansea Rurkl District Council), James (A herd a re), Jones (Moun- tain Ash), Morgan (Caerphilly), Llew. Davies (chief sanitary inspector, Swan- sea). THE FOUR POINTS. in an introductory speech out in the yard, Mr. Buckley remarked that milk when taken from the cow 6 but became contaminated in the process of milking. Half a million gallons of milk servt to London were condemned. Any body who chose, and was determined to, could pr<oduoe pure milk. There wore four poirts: (1), That utensils should be clean; (2), the under tits should be clean; (3), modern form of bucket should be used; and (4) milk should be cooled. If the cow was clean, the person clean, -he bucket clean and covered and the milk removed as soon as it was takpn from the cow, they would have clean milk. Those buildings there were excel- lent, and scrupulously cle:in. He wished, for the sake of the demonstration, these conditions had b--eu otherwise. His only comment on the buildings was flialt the ventilators should be taken from the windows so that more light might come in, and he would have the floors, c-ementel. Fresh ttir and light were two essentials for purr %ki.lk. and they were the only two 'things tlurt cost nothing. Strainers, he pointed out, (Fd not improve the milk, they only cleaned it. but were necessary. THE PROCESS. The demonstration proceeded, and was closely followed. First each cow was groomea wivh cold water, then the milk- ing began. The buckets used have an opening at the side, th's effect being that dirt and dust cannot get in £ o the milk. After the milking, the straining, in a specially made strainer having two layers of gauze and ona of cotton wool. The difference between the residues on the strainer of milk gained in op-Mi and in covered buckets was most marked. Then comes the washing, of the utensils, first in cold, then tw-ce in warm water. During the process many questions were put to Mr Buckle. One gentleman was overheard to observe that he had learned nothing by the demonstration, which put the demonstrators on their mettle. Mr. Buckley called for a show of hands of those who had learned, and almost every hand we n't up.

I The Amman-ford May fair on Friday re- gained its pre-war popularity. Never have. 1 larger crowds been in attendance, and amusement caterers, who were present in 'strong force, reaped a good harvest. The business part of the fair was held in the morning. The cattle section presented a dull appearance, and few heads changed hands. Two-year-olds sold from J615 to JJ20. but yearlings v.'ere a poor market Pigs were sold briskly at prices ranging from £J to P,7. A dance, organised by the Church of England Soldiers' and Sailors' Reception Committee, proved a big success in the Drill H:) 11 on Thursday night. Fully 200 guests appeared on the floor, and the scene was a very pleasing one, the music being in' charge of Mr. Haydn Richards with Miss Ol.wen Richards at the piano. Dr. D. R. Price was the M.C. CADLE. I The Star of Light was rendered by the Band of Hope children of Bethlehem Welsh Congregational Chapel, Cadle, on Thursday evening to a large and apprecia- tive audience. The conductor was Mr. D. H. Evans, and the singing reached a high standard. The artistes who assisted were Madame Aubrey Bowen, Miss M. L. John. Messrs. Harry Thomas and D. H. Evans. The accompanist was Miss Maud Evans, and the chairman Mr. W. R. Francis, Cwmbwrla. The funeral of Mr. Lewis Mainwaring (42). of London House, Cadle, took place at Penllergaer The ministers who offi- ciated were the Revs. D. Charles (Ystrad- road), D. J. Arter (Penllergaer) and Jno. Richards (Babell). The deceased was highly respected, and the funeral, which was for men only, was well attended. The chief mourners were Thomas and Daniel (brothers) Morgan, David, John and DI I' Williams ''brothers-in-law), and Ivor Rees (Gorseinon). There were a number of beautiful floral tributes. SKEWEN. I' On Friday evening the Rev. D. Morris, vicar, presided over an important and re- presentative meeting of Church com- municants, called together on the result of a re-jol 11 tion passed at the recent Easter, vestry mtin.g which initiated a movement to give the assistant clergy of the parish an adequate aiay. It was decided that collectors be forthwith ap- I pointed to visit all the church adherents to make the senior curate's stipend £ 190 and the junior curate's Z180. the meet- ing further pledged itself to make these increases retrospective, as from January let. 1919. A committee consisting of six I gentlemen was appointed to carry out the scheme. The report of the Skewen and Neath Abbey District Nursing Association for April, 1919. is as follows:—General cases on books April 1st, 18; new cases, 10; 6ent in by doctors, 8; applied, 2; taken off books during month, 16.

The Day's Gossip. Leader Offlce, Saturday. "I Talking of the May Day demonstration in Swansea to-day, there was a curious re- port in yesterday's Times about the loudly-heralded meeting in Hyde Park. The man who did it for the Times writes in the mood of high amusement. There was a woman who carried a small red flag with the insciiption German Workers' and Soldiers' Council," and two small boys immediately behind her had a small dag inscribed Russian Soviet Re- public." One would not have missed for worlds," he says somewhere in his report, ¡ the woman with a Cockney accent who called for cheers for Sinn Fein." Doubt- less the Swansea demonstration to-day will be a much more sober sort of affair, I and not lacking in dignity. We do these things better in the provinces. 1 11 JUdith.97 I Arnold Bennett's new play, Judith," which was produced this week in London is, of course, another stage attempt to dramatise the story from the Apocrypha oi the way in which the wondrously beau- tiful Judith saved Judea from the Assyr- ians by getting into the tent of their general, llolofernes. dazzling him with her beauty, and cutting off his head when when he was asleep. The play has had a curious reception from the critics, and the 1 general verdict seems to be that it lacks I grip. As many Swansea people know, we have I ta the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery Gustave Dore's conception of the Judean drama. It occupies practically all the space of one wall in the second room devoted to oils. As an artist, Dore's reputation has suffered with the passage of time, but those of us whose Sundays in childhood were spent looking over his illustrations of the inferno will be ever grateful to him for doing something to lighten up the misery of a long day without play. I Spitting. I At a meeting of the Swansea Watoh Committee some days ago it was stated by the Chief Constable that taxi cabs plying for hire should, according to regu- lations, have a scale of fares posted up in the taxis. There is another bye-law, relating to spittiag in public places, which deserves increased vigilance. In every tramcar there is a notice giving the very illuminating information that spitting is a disgusting and dangerous habit," and stating further that no person shall spit on the floor, side or walls of any public carriage," and that any person offending against this bye- law is liable upon conviction to a penalty not exceeding £ 5." Still the disgusting and dangerous habit is persisted in. Lewis Morris. I I see that Mr. Wilfred Scawen Blunt I who is a kind of Ishmaelite with his hand against everything, has been following an Edwardian fashion in his new book, My Diaries," and from the height of his "eminence as a literary critic has been assailing the verse of Sir Lewis Morris. Mr. Blunt, talking of the poet laureate- ship, says there was no other ehoice open to the Queen but Alfred Austen, for WilLiam Morris refused the Queen ob- jected to Swinburne, old Patmore was a Catholic,'the rest were, if possible, worse tha.n Austen; he is better, anyhow, than Lewis Morris, the Liberal candidate, or than Wateon, Dobson. and the rest of the sons of their own penny trumpets." I feel all my Welsh blood rising in re- volt against this petty sort of judgment. If Sir Lewis Morris will not stand to- morrow with the giants in English litera- ture, he has a very definite place among the sweetest of our singers; and we in Wales owe him an eternal debt of grati- tude for putting into song, as no other poet has done, our aspirations as a nationality. It is time, indeed, that we jumped on critics of the Blunt type. Mad Dogs. I Swansea 'dog owners have been a good deal perplexed this week with regard to their responsibility in the matter of secur- ing muzzles, and their hesitation was not get at rest until the publication of a para- graph in Thursday's Leader to the effect that, up to then at any rate, Swan- sea police had no instructions to apply the general order to the borough. Not- withstanding this. I notice, especially on the hillride, a large number of CIOTS which have already been muzzled—an indication of Swansea's altruism. For the position is undoubtedly furious. There is not the ,,eit over it, biit the slightest need to be upset over it. but the Muzzling Order has become absolutely necessary if we are to exterminate the vile plague of rabies. Sir Edward Stock- man,, cf the Board of Agriculture, in the Times yesterday wrote th at after the country had been entirely free from rabies for ?6 years the disease was reintro- duced into Devon by a do?or imported from abroad. It should be realised that the only way in which this disease can be introduced into a clean country or arM is by an infected dog. and that infpc-tea does not necessarily man rabid, for the doe may remain in rv)od. health for months after an infecting ard then become rabid. Disease was confined to Devon and neighbouring parts of Cornwall by the activities of the Board's inspectors and those of the local authori- ties for nearly seven months. Then it ar-peared in Newport (Monmouth) and in Cardiff, and a month later in Ealing. From all of these places disease lias spread by dogs infected by the original deg running amok, when they may cover 30 miles or more. The Budget. I bear there was much perturbation .imongst some of the tobacconists when "Le decision of the Chancellor became known in respect to his proposaJ to deal j with the fragrant weed. For two or three days previous to tb? Budget being made known tobacco and cigarettes were prac- tically held up." The'r scarcity created quite a panic. Many smokers thought they would forestall the Chancellor, rush- ing to got a supply of their favourite brands, only to discover, much to their chagrin, there was nothing doing." Of course not! But then came the surprise. Consumers Who Do Not Pay. I All the reports of additional wages paid to colliers under the Sankey Award and of the claims of the tinplaters re- rrtind me that there is one industry m the kingdom dependent on the former for fuel and helping: to supply the latter with material in which additional wages are impossible. The Cornish mines are in that unfortunate, and surely al- most unique, position simply because j they cannot do the usual iliing-T).ts- on increased labour and material cost to I the consumer. The prices they receive for their tin are determined by the bids made by representatives of the various nrnelters at a fortnightly ticketing," ) K W ■' samples of the "parcels" offered llav- ing been previously taken by their assayers. Thus the prices paid has relation to what it costs the properties to produce the tin, and the position at the moment is that, after having been, during the war, on sadly depleted staffs, a key industry (and a particularly im- portant one where the mines also pro- duce wolfram) they still have to pay war prices for material, although white tin has droped probably about ?100 per ton. The result is that only the fl?1w richest are paying, and that those at the other end 0 tfhe list are losing heavily and either ceasing operati_ ons or still further depleting tieir?.s? fl?. Meanwhile the Labour Exchanges are, it is contended, spending more money in out-of-work benefits than it would co:;t to keep the men in productive employ- ment until conditions become more nor- mal and make the properties once more self-supporting. A deputation to tie Board of Trade about ten weeks ago on this point has been so far unproductive, j

STABLE ABLAZE. I Swansea Brigade's Prompti- tude in Local Fire. A fire broke out in a wooden stasia in & I held near Lan-street, Morriston, in the early hours of this morning. Inspector Evans, who was walking in Woodfield-street, noticed the glow in the sky, ai)d, proceeding there, found the stable, the property of Mr. David Jones, grocer and baker, of 14, Lan-fetreet, Mor- riston, blazing fiercely. By the time a stand pipe and hose were obtained the rooi had fallen in, and In. spector Evans, assis-ted by two police offi- cers, did their utmost to quell the flames, which they succeeded in doing not long after, but the stables were practically de- molished. A horse which was in it was burnt to death. The cause of the fire is unknown, and the damage is estimated at 260. The stable was not insured.

AT THE ACADEMY. 1 Interesting Swansea Pictures and Designs. Although some frequent contributors in recent years are missing, there are many excellent works of origin and interest in thir year's Academy, Among these ni iy oe mentioned the fol- lowing: Sir Luke Fildes' portrait of Barbara," daughter of Lt.-Col. C. L. D. Venables-Llewelyn; several portraits by Sir Wm. Llewelyn Dorset Downs, near Poole," by Mr. S. Garratt, of Brecon; a portra;t of Lt. Ronald. Morgan, 3rd S.W.B., who was mortally wounded while flying ovar the German lines in July, 1917, by Mr. Solomon J. Solomon, R.A.; and Mr. Alexander Young's Early Spring: Penoyre, near Beacon."

Hewkley is represented in the minia- tures by a small piccure of Mr. M. W. H. Lancaster, of the South Wales Bojrderers, in khaki, wean.ng the ribbons of his decorations. ST. GABRIEL'S SCREEN. In the architectural room Mr. Geoffrey Lucas shows The new chancel screen for St. Gaibriel's Church, Swansea." In the sculpture room, Sir W. Gosoombe John has two works, one of which occupies the centre of the gallery. It is a sketch model, ooi's^ighth full size, of a war memorial for Port Sunlight. The other work is a mural memorial to the late Earl of Cromer, to be placed in West- minster Abboy. Mr. G. Main, of Llanid- loes, has the head of a man in bronze, and Miss L. Gwendoline Williams a statuette in bronze, The Moonlight Dance." Among the nc'?ble visitora yesterday was Sir Alfred Mend. M.P.
