"Although certified milk has een produced for twenty-two years, s sales are much less than one per ent of the entire milk supply.

Sever--1 milk-borne epidemics have been aced to farms where certified or injected milk was produced, whereas nly one epidemic has been traced to isteurized milk, and that one was town clearly to be caused by the use improper temperature. The certied milk business thus seems to have een shorn of financial and even hilanthropic attractions.” A bridge that is to be built for the lolland government railroad over the lerjae river in Java has been made omplete in the shops in Holland, and o carefully has this been done that io field work will be required in erectng the steel structure other than that f connecting tho members.
