Out Importance of Knowing
That Milk Is Pure.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—Co you
know that the milk you are uBlng is
.sanitary jmd free from dangerous and
deleterious Impurities? Do you know
whether or not you are liable to take
typhoid ferijaB Into your system in
the next glass of milk you drink at
your table? Do you know, whether
the condition and quality of the milk
you are using are such that It will not
affect the health of your child?
It Is. important, vitally important,
that the consumers of milk who in
clude practically every family, should
have definite knowledge, and not
nqere opinions or beliefs on these
points, says the Georgia State Board
Where the family owns its cow and
knows It Is healthy, it Is possible for
It to have always clean and healthy
milk by observing the simple sanl<
tary rules In the process of milking-
rules whose basic prlnolple Is clean
liness, absolute cleanliness. Unfortu
nately, however, the majority bf fam
ilies either because of the expense, or
local conditions of city life, must de
pend on one of the nearby dairies tor
their daily supply of milk.
From the cradle, it might he said,
to the grave, milk Is one of the most
Important, most essential, articles of
human diet. Composed of water car
rying in solution the three great nat
ural foods—albumens in the form of
casein, carbohydrates such as milk su
gar or lactose, and fat—milk is an
ideal food for persons in ail ages. It
contains everything needed for the
sustenance of life. Its value depends
upon its purity; its universal use de
mands that it shall be pure, sanitary
and wholesome.
The family owning its own cow
healthy. I The cow should" Be jjaiiseS
in clean surroundings. The person
milking have thoroughly dean hands.
Water should be boiled in th# vessel,
into whloh the mlik Is to be drawn.
This boiled water should be poured
into another vessel and used for care
fully cleansing the udder and teats
of the cow. The bucket Into which
the milk is to he drawn should not he
rinsed after the boiled water Is pour
ed from it, for It is then sterile and
clean, and other water poured into it
may contaminate it. The. milk should
be poured into other vessels which
have been similarly cleansed and kept
n a clean refrigerator or cool place
until wanted for use.
With the cow at home, the family
may see tp it that these simple sani
tary rules are complied with, but with
che-dairy the problem is a different
one. In the Interest of the protec
tion of the public, cities and towns
should employ the full extent of their
authority in making rigid dairy in
spection.; the city should stand in
the' place of the consumer and,'should
be able to certify to its people,that-
the milk they are getting, whatever
its source, is sanitary and safe.
Undoubtedly sanitary conditions in
dairies could and would be more rig
idly enforced, if patrons ‘ of them
would' visit them from time to time
and make personal inspections; their
right to do this where they are pat
rons, could not well be questioned.
City inspection where many dairies
are Involved is often a difficult prob
lem, for the watchful eye of the in
spector cannot be ever present.
Unsanitary milk is a frequent pur
veyor of typhoid and other diseases
which abound in impure water, and

Ono of tho greatest mysteries to

Instead of taking place once a year,
these migrations occur only once in
eleven years. When the timo comes
for tho exodus the little animals
journey westward from Scandina
via, allowing nothing to stop their
movements, which virtually amount
to a headlong flight. They swim

Woodrow Wilson became the Demo
cratic presidential candidate has Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She attended In

with reporters, although heretofore
she has made special requests that
she be not quoted nor written about
in the papers.
Naturalists attribute the movement
to some inherited memory of a
flight to escape an expected cat
aclysm, but this seems somewhat
farfetched.
