Very few dairies have been scored by the United States score card because the inspector's time is devoted almost en- tirely to the city work, but I hope during the coming year to so arrange the work that a portion of each week will be given to this very necessary dairy inspection.
Only a few things are absolutely necessary, at the farm, to insure pure, clean milk ;- cleanliness of animals and utensils and the person milking, a hooded milk pail (see cut) and proper iceing. ! 1
Sanitary Hooded Pail, $1.50.
These things cost only a very small sum and once the habit is contracted it will stay with a man the balance of his life.
There have been nine cases of watered milk traced to the farm during 1913. In one instance the case was turned over to the State authorities and one other case to the federal author- ities and the balance were handled by this department.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Infected Milk.
On February 4 and 5, four cases of typhoid fever were reported to this board of health, and upon investigation it was found that all of these patients obtained their milk from a Mr. X. In company with Dr. F. I .. Morse, a visit was immediately made to this farm and samples of blood taken from each per- son who came in contact with the milk.
On examination the same afternoon one showed a positive Widal reaction.
The method of washing bottles was found to be imperfect and the following steps were immediately taken to prevent a further spread of the infection :---
1. The dealer was instructed to boil all cans, pails, bottles and other utensils used in the production and distribution of milk.
2. To pasteurize all milk before delivery the following morning.
3. To isolate the man who responded positively to the Widal reaction, to prevent his coming in contact with the milk, or utensils in any way.
On account of the ineffective apparatus at hand it was found necessary to install a steam boiler in order to carry out the first two requirements; accordingly, that day, a boiler was obtained and the milking utensils and bottles thoroughly treated with live steam and the milk pasteurized in the follow- ing manner :-
The milk in eight and one-half quart cans was placed in a wooden sink, two by six feet, containing water, and steam forced into it until a temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit was reached. The milk was held at this temperature for twenty minutes and constantly stirred, after which it was cooled quickly, bottled and stored for delivery the next day.
The State Board of Health commented favorably on this method in their February report and commended this board up- on the promptness and efficiency with which this epi- demic was handled. The cases diminished, the last one being ill on February 15, ten days after these measures were insti- tuted and corresponding to the incubation period of the disease. Cambridge and Arlington also suffered at this time, there being forty-four cases in Cambridge with eight deaths; four cases in Arlington with no deaths; thirteen cases in Somerville with one death, a total of sixty-one cases with nine deaths.

It will be seen by consulting Table No. 5, that for the past four years the birth rate has been steadily increasing. The deaths of children under one year of age have been about the same in number but when compared with the births show a smaller percentage each year, while the percentage of deaths from entero-colitis, compared with births has decreased thirty- three and one-third per cent.
I believe this to be a really remarkable showing. Recent research work has shown that the rural death rate is much higher than that of the city and since 1909 the cities have been reducing their death rate very rapidly while the rural death rate remains about the same, showing that the vigorous prolective measures adopted in the large cities are producing results. The value of pure milk cannot be overestimated and no amount of care by the consumer can entirely offset the dangers of polluted milk. On the other hand the cleanest milk will speedily become unfit for the infant if improperly handled in the home.
It would be of great assistance to this department if some means could be devised to get the physicians to report all cases of entero-colitis.
· At present we are obliged to rely on the death returns for data of enteric diseases in children and only the fatal cases come to our attention. If the physicians would report each case they are called to attend the department could determine much more quickly an epidemic from any particular source of supply.
A postal card addressed to the Board of Health stating the name, address, age of patient and source of milk supply would be all that is necessary.

- Legislation.
July 6, 1913, Chapter 743, known as "An Act Relative to the Manufacture and Sale of Ice Cream," became a law. This act provides that all ice cream must contain at least seven per cent. of milk fat and the enforcement is left with the Depart- ment of Milk Inspection.
July 10, 1913, Chapter 761, known as "An Act to Safeguard the Public Health Against Unclean Milk Containers and Appli- ances used in the Treatment and Mixing of Milk," was passed.
This act provides that all milk utensils shall be thoroughly cleaned and free from foreign deposits upon the inside. A penalty of fifty dollars is provided for violations.
June 26, 1913, Chapter 96, known as "A Resolve to provide
317
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
for the encouragement of dairying and the production of milk and dairy products of superior quality," was passed. This re- solve provides that the State Board of Agriculture shall offer prizes for the best kept stables, best quality of milk, and lowest bacteria counts, or as said board sees fit. An annual appropria- tion of $5.000 was provided to cover prizes and traveling ex- penses.
As a result of this measure on December 2, 3 and 4, 1913, at Springfield, Mass., a milk show was held. This was the largest show of the kind ever held in the world. Cash, ribbons and medals were given as prizes for clean milk, as determined by the Lorenz method, low bacteria counts and perfection from a chemical standpoint. A prize was also given for the best screened stable.
It is a significant fact that both first prizes were won by women.
These measures were the best of a large number that were presented to the legislature of 1913. During the coming year there will doubtless be a still larger number presented for con- sideration, and I trust that all persons and organizations will bear in mind the fact that what is most needed is not additional laws governing the production, transportation and sale of milk but co-operation between the various departments who now have the supervision of the matter, i. e., federal, state and municipal. No condition can arise that cannot be controlled by these three departments if given sufficient means to carry on their work. When appropriations are made sufficiently large to enable the various departments to carry on the work assigned them, then satisfactory results will be obtained. The federal authorities have the power to control all interstate problems. State author- ities can compel the sanitary production and enforce standards throughout the commonwealth and local authorities can handle any and all conditions within their borders.
Money and men are needed and multiplicity of laws will lead only to confusion and misdirected effort.

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
Somerville, Mass., December 31, 1913.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :-
Gentlemen,-Herewith the Board of Overseers of the Poor presents its report for the year 1913, which includes the reports of the agent and the warden of the city home.
Our one trouble for the past year, and what is likely to con- tinue, is to interpret the act of the Legislature relating to "aid- ing mothers with dependent children." While heretofore aid from this department has disqualified recipients from acquiring a residence in our city this act simply annuls. this provision and distinctly from its passage places such persons outside the accepted requirements of this board.
This act is so vague in its wording as to make possible a large additional expense for this department.
We trust that further legislation will make it more accept- able. If this is not done, we believe it should be placed outside the work of this department.
The matter of asking a discount on our small two-dollar orders, from dealers over the city, has been discussed many times by this board. We have interviewed all parties to find, if possible, the practical working of this plan. Our judgment is, that it would benefit the city less than it would harm the recip- ients of our city's charity. What has been said many times of this department we think holds good for the past year. The work has been carefully and faithfully done. All needy ones, so far as we have been able to learn, have received sympathetic and charitable aid.
The work at the home has been, as usual, acceptable, and the hospital has proved its need and usefulness in the treat- ment of an unusual number of serious cases. But for the un- avoidable loss of some of our stock, and rather poor returns from celery, the profits from the farm would have excelled former years. We would again call attention to the need of an office for the warden and some kind of reception room for visitors to the inmates.
Very respectfully,
HENRY F. CURTIS, A. W. EDMANDS, PHILIP KOEN,
Overseers of the Poor.
REPORT OF THE GENERAL AGENT.
Somerville, Mass., December 31, 1913.
To the Overseers of the Poor, Somerville, Mass .:-
Gentlemen,-As we look back over the past year, we find that as a whole it has been a very busy one. The most im- portant event for us was the passing by the Legislature of chapter 763 entitled, "An act to provide for suitably aiding mothers with dependent children under fourteen years of age." This has increased our work in the office to quite an extent and I find that the action of the board in supplying a perma- nent, instead of a temporary, clerk was a very wise and fortunate move, as the work for the board of health has in- creased and the bookkeeping at the city home of course takes some of her time. The clerk selected has proved herself very efficient and a great help to the agent and warden.
There seems to have been an impression throughout this city, as well as all through the state, that the above mentioned act provided a pension for all widows regardless of their condi- tion or income or fitness to bring up or care for their children, but this is not the case. We have to certify on each notice sent to the state (and we are obliged to send a notice whether they are city or state cases) that the mother is fit to bring up hier children and that the other members of the household and the surroundings of the home are such as to make for good character; we also have to certify as to the resources of the family, how many children over fourteen who are able to work and how much they earn, how much the mother can earn with- out neglecting her family. All of these and many other facts have to be ascertained and certified to in each case. The state visitor then makes a visit to the family and investigates and in some cases does not agree with our findings, but we are generally able to harmonize our differences and agree although we find it is very easy for the last visitor to find fault with whatever the first one does or suggests. After some experience we are led to believe that it will take more than a few weeks or even months to change the way of living, the location of the homes and the habits, etc., of any people, whether they be rich or poor-but if we are patient and keep at our work, wonders can be performed in time, provided we supply the necessary aid to change the conditions. This law was passed and went into effect after our appropriations were made, so of course we were obliged to go to the mayor and aldermen for an additional appropriation to meet the demands made upon us. Applica- tions have been made to us by about fifty different widows or deserted women for aid under this law, but for various reasons we have been obliged to refuse quite a number of them. Some have moved away, but we are aiding at the close of the year about forty families under this law, twelve of them are settled in other cities or towns, and six are families having no settle-

ment in the commonwealth. We send bills to the state for the full amounts in the latter cases, and for the out-of-town cases bills for two-thirds are sent to the place of settlement and one- third to the state. We also send bills to the state under this law for one-third of the amount agreed upon between the city and the state in our city cases.
During the year we distributed about 100 tons of coal amounting to $862.67, food $6,520.35, cash paid out $1,308.46. We caused to be collected and turned over to the Somerville Hospital $2,079.27, $3,904.15 was paid other cities and towns. For assistance in burials $173.00, medicine $230.02, and for other things as seemed necessary amounting in all to $21,827.73.
Business has been fairly good and very few men, com- paratively, have been out of work.
Once more I wish to thank the members of the board for their kindness and willingness to help and advise at all times. Attached please find tables to show the work in detail.
Very respectfully, C. C. FOLSOM, General Agent.
