FehrvAxry, 1926 The Health Bulletin 11 of only seven. Group B counties in 1918 had 128 deaths from typhoid and in 1924 had 56, a difference of 72. Had the same intensive anti-typhoid measures been applied in Group A counties as were utilized by Group B counties, the results should have been certainly as successful, and probably more so because of natural advantages in these counties. The same degree of reduction in typhoid would have meant a saving of 20 lives in these counties for 1924 as compared with 1918, instead of seven, and the sickness and loss sustained by having had about 150 preventable cases of the disease. Considering the nominal cost of securing typhoid vaccinations, it would appear that these counties practiced a false economy. Of course, other factors have contributed to the decline, in addition to the vaccinations that have been secured. Foremost among these other factors is the immensely improved sanitary conditions that have resulted from the enforcement of the sanitary privy law, enacted in 1919. The number of protected public water supplies, and sewerage systems, has been growing, and the total number of people so served more than doubled in the past ten years. Dependable milk control measures have been instituted by a number of communities. The general educational work of the Board has been amplified in character and has been constantly reaching an increasing number of people each year. But these additional factors affecting the typhoid death rate have been general, on a State-wide basis, so that the effect has been fairly evenly distributed over all counties. It would appear conclusive, therefore, that the determining factor in the reduction of the typhoid death rate in those counties where it has been greatest has been the fact that a large portion of the population of those counties have been periodically vaccinated. Let us consider for a moment what a skillful owner of horses does for a very fine colt, the progeny of extraordinary parents—one that is worth 100 times as much as the average horse. His first consideration is to provide for it the right kind of food; food which experience has shown will be ample for the support of optimal growth and for the maintenance of health after growth is completed. Beyond this he does little in any special way to look after its well-being other than to provide clean, wholesome surroundings and to give it an opportunity to take exercise as it desires. It is not put through a lot of contortions or made to lie on its back and kick its legs to get exercise of a suitable nature; it walks, trots or runs, it grows into a magnificent creature. It rests a great deal of the time.—E. V. McCollum. The most important of the laws of health relates to the character and quality of our food. Second in importance is the effectiveness with which we rest. I would put exercise third.— E. V. McCollum. CONDENSED AND EVAPORATED MILK Frank E. Rice, A.B., Ph.D., Professor of Biological and Agricultural Chemistry, N. C. State College, Raleigh, N. C. There is much confusion in most people's minds regarding the various kinds of canned milk found on the market. Really there are two, and only two, kinds of concentrated liquid milk put up in tin cans, although there are several manufacturers' brands. Both contain considerably less water than is found in ordinary fresh cow's milk; both are, therefore, condensed milks. Both are made by evaporating part of the water from cow's milk; both are, consequently, evaporated milks. The main difference between them is that the one contains a large amount of added sugar, while the other does not. Sweetened condensed milk, or what is commonly called condensed milk, is very thick or viscous, and is yellowish in color; it contains 40 to 45% ordi-
