STERILIZED MILK DEPOTS.

The philanthropic work of Mr. Nathan Strauss in opening up depots for the sale of sterilized milk at various points in the crowded districts of the city is meeting with all desirable encouragement in the way of public patronage.

One of the depots, located in City Hall Park, is besieged all day long by crowds of men, women, and children eager to buy the refreshing and healthful drink. It frequently happens that from fifty to one hundred persons are in the line waiting their turn at the point where the milk is served. The price charged is only one cent a glass. The milk is also furnished in larger quantities for the use of sick babies in the tenements. It is a nourishing and healthful food for the little ones.—Selected.
