Consumption of
Milk in Omaha
Growing Rapidly
Dr. C. C. Hall Tells of Efforts
of City to Improve Qual
ity—Urge Milk Diet
for Babies.
The growth of Omaha's milk con
sumption is largely due to the in
creased sanitation and quality of milk
sold in Omaha, according to Dr. C. C.
Hall of the city health department.
"Another important factor is the
growing public realization of the im
portance of a milk diet for Infants,”
lie added. t
“Milk In Omaha today is far su
perior to that of five years ago,
lioth in sanitation and contents,” he
continued. "During that time, dairy
products in general have undergone
a wonderful change—consequently the
consumption of milk has increased
rapidly.”
hast year, 10,100 gallons of raw
milk, "straight from the cow,” were
consumed in Greater Omaha. Nine
thousand, eight hundred gallons of
pasteurized milk, which has been
heated to a temperature sufficient to
kill bacteria in the milk, were also
used here.
Dr. Hall attributed the large con
sumption of raw milk to the fact
that there are 135 raw milk dairies
in Omaha, while there are only two
pasteurization plants.
"Despite the Increase in milk con
sumption, Omaha is still below the
average of other cities,” said Dr.
Hall. "That is because the public
doubtlessly felt that the milk sold
here Is not as good as it should be.
But, during the last three years, the
city health department has lieen
active In efforts to bring the milk
up to a high standard l5y enforcing
the milk ordinance. During the last
year alone ?456 has been collected In
fines from milk men convicted of sell
ing milk not up to requirements. Al
though the official figures In milk
consumption for 11)23 are as yet In
complete, 1 feel sure that the con
sumption Ibis year will be higher
than that of last year.”
He expressed the opinion that the
recommendation of Dr. Pinto, health
commissioner, that milk be fed to In
fants and children, is a good one,
and may have had some influence
toward reassuring Omalians of the
standard of the milk sold here.
Omaha is the world’s largest but
ter market. Although great quanti
ties of milk are shipped to Omaha
from the surrounding country, little
finds Its way out of the city except
as butter, cheese or some other by
product of milk.

Nebraskans on
Big Committees
Howell and Shallenbarger on
Interstate Commerce Bodies
—Morehcad’s Poor
Assignments.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Washington. Dec. 20.—The man
who has said the least in the Nebras
ka delegation in the lower house ob
tained the best committee appoint
ment in the end. He is Ashtgn C.
Shallenbarger of Alma. He is a mem
ber of the Interstate and foreign
commerce committee.
This appointment of Shallenbarger
puts two Nebraskans directly on the
firing line against the Ksch-Cummlns
bill. Senator Howell Is a member of
the committee In the senate while
Shallenbarger will represent Nebraska
on a similar committee In the house.
The appointment of Shallenbarger
on this committee was due largely to
previous service in congress. He was
personally acquainted with democratic
leader* who placed his name on the
interstate commerce committee list.
Opposition to the Ksch-Cumnvini bill
was one of the principal features of
Shaltenbarger's campaign.
Congressman Bob Simnums also was
placed in a position for effective work
for his constituents by his appoint
ment to-the irrigation committee. It
was the one committee he desired
above all others.
Congressman McLaughlin is again
on the agriculture committee. His
previous terms and experience
promises to make him one of the
lenders in committee activities at this
session.
Practically all of the time of Con
gressman Hears will be spent in
planting seeds for the growth of his
plan for d separate drainage district
and appropriations for the middle
west. His committee appointments
will not hinder him in this work.
Edgar Howard registers joy at his
appointment on the Indian affairs
committee. He is planning a campaign
to prove that Indiuns are being Im
posed upon by the white men.
The committee assignments of
John H. Morehead are negligible in
importance.
