Dr. Copeland
Recommends
Bottled Drinks
WASHINGTON. D. C.—Dr. Royal
S. Copeland, United States Sen
ator from New York and formerly
Health (Commissioner of New York
City, makes a strong rase for bot
tled 1 carbonated beverages In a re
cent artlclo warning of ;bo danger^
of eating and drinking in pieces
where the rules of sanitation are
not strictly observed.
Dr. Copeland, who, conducts n
dally health column in n number
of lending newspapers, points out
that absoluto cleanliness not only
is necessary in htpeerp loyce.l.
is necessary In the preparation of
foods and beverages but also with
respect to the vessols in which
they nre nerved to consumers. Tills
emphasizes one of the many as
surances given to consumers of
bottled carbonated beverages.
When fhay removo the cap from
the bottle they drink their fav
orite beverage knowing that no
humnn hand has bail a chance to
contaminate tho container or its
contents. "Kvery food-handler,"
says Dr. Copeland, warning of the
dangers that, lurk in places where
food and drink are prepared on *he
premises anil served in vessel*
whleli nro In constant use with
little opoertunitv for thorn u?h
'•Icenslng. "should realize tha* tho
health and perhaps the lives ;f his
natrons nro actually in his lands.
There must bo cWhnlinosg—of the
dishes, the cleansing water an l the
hands of all who touch the food or
its receptacles.”
Ho gives this dictum:
“Every dish and glass should be
washed In boding water and rinsed
with pure, boiling water. You can
not have clean or safe dishes if
they are dlpi>ed In a pail of vllo
and contaminated water. There
imisflio actual effort at cleansing,
or wo might ns well 'eat from a
common dish with no pretense at
purity.”

I MR. ItOY WILLIAMS of X Mil<ll-
I son county says they have 150
acre* planted in cotton, 200 In corn
and about 200 in peas and other
food crops. They nre still using
poison on their cotton but can
not find n boll weevil or signs ol
the pest. All of their crops are
fine, but they never fin'd a more
promising prospect for cotton. It
is laden with fruit many grown
bolls. They have not had to stop
plows for weeks until one day lash
week on account of ralrf.
SEVERAL FARMERS In Madi
son county this year tried the
Florida plan of fighting the boll
weevil and say It works to perfec
tion, at/d they will keep it up next
year. This plan is to pull off and
destroy nil the early square* that
appear on your cotton thus leav
ing tho weevils no place to propa
gate. They do not begin to use
| poison until about the first of July
I Those who fried this process have
j no weevils to amount to anything

Kentucky. It /* the- richest sol’

crops of corn, wheat and also cot
ton are raised there. And yot th*
depot agent told me that tho ship
ment of poultry amounted to mor*
than, that of wheat, corn or cot

ONE OF THE LEADING cotton
men says of course no oi
predict the price of new crop cot

tone of the market he thinks when
conditions get settled that farmers
safely count on around 25 centi
