NATHAN STRAUSS OFF FOR
WORLD CONGRESS
Nathan Strauss of New York City
who has become well known all over
the United States and Europe for his
benevolent work in saving infant life
by establishing pasteurized milk de-
pots in the principal cities sailed Sun-
day on the North German Lloyd liner
George Washington for Bremen From
that port he will go to Berlin to
attend as the official delegate of the
United States Government the third
international congress for the pro-
tection of infants Mr Strauss was
appointed by President Taft to rep-
resent this country in recognition of
the services he has rendered in the
preservation of infant life
Mr Strauss saidbefore the liner
left the pier that he was looking for-
ward with pleasure and interest to
the coming congress which would be-
gin on Sept 11 and close on Sept 15
because it would bring to Berlin rep-
resentative men from practically all
the civilized nations who were work-
ing with the object of reducing infant
mortality At the last congress in
Brussels thirtythree nations were rep-
resented and a resolution adopted
that milk for infant feeding is to be
boiled sterilized pasteurized not to
be used In its raw state
Mr Strauss said that since that con-
gress In 1907 the value of the pas-
teurization of milk has been amply
demonstrated by the decrease in the
death rate of babies In Washington
Dublin and Carlsruhe where the work
was under the patronage of the Dow-
ager Grand Duchess of Baden The
Dublin depots owed much of thoir suc-
cess to Lady Aberdocn tho wife of
the Viceroy of Ireland
If every city had bucIi women as
these Mr Strauss remarked the
< death rate among the babies would
t
y be cut in half
Mr Strauss said he looked for im-
portant results from the congress in
