from che time It IS drawn from the
cow
Under these conditions of nearncss
Of producer and consumer there are
possibilities of an ideal milk supply
This would not cali for any great
amount Of labor on the part of the
producer In cities where milk regu-
iations have already done 50 much, the
one thing necessary is to cool the milk.
Some dairymen already make some
pretense at cooling the milk, but in
very few cases is it Of any benefit TIE
cooler used is one that requires ice
to have any effect, and ice is not used.
No attempt is made to replenlsh the
water. which soon becomes warm.
The type of cooler needed, and the only
type which will do good service, is
similar to a coil Of pipe The cold
water flows constantly through the coil
from the bottom 70 the top and the
warm milk runs in a thin film over the
surface from the top to the bottom.
The milk is in this way cooled 20 very
near the temperature Of the fresh
water with this type Of cooler the
milk can easily be cooled to 40 de-
grees F. in any locality-often colder,
depending on the temperature Of the
water
while milk at body temperature
will hardly keep five hours. milk cool
ed Immediately to 20 degrees f. will
keep more than twelve hours; at 60
/ degrees r. il win keep more than two
days. and at so degrees F. a consid-
/ erably longer time It should ba pos
slble where ice is used for domestic
purposes to deliver milk that would
keep for table use until the next morn
. ing. This would do away with the
early milking, which is very objection
able, and il would make one delivery
day sufficient. This warm-milk evil
is far worse than any OF the conditions
opposed by city health boards. II
would be very easy to remedy this evil
and with the present knowledge Of
handling milk there is no possible ex.
cuse for its continuance"
These precautions are so simple and
so important, especially for the health
Of small children during the approach
ing heated term, that attention to them
may save the lives Of many children.

uNlNrENTloNALLY OVERLOOKED

The National Editorial association
meets at Guthrie. June s, 9 and 10.
Then a tour of sight seeing has been
arranged In their honor, in which they
VIII visit all the principal cities Of the
two territories except Billings. Just
Why Billings was omitted we have not
been informed. 1t may have been on
account OF our peculiar passenger ser
vice. AS our one passenger car per
day would hold but a small part Of the
1000 editors expected, It might be the
committee was afraid Of getting pied
if they attempted to load them into
box cars at Enid for transportation to
Billings We are sorry, not on account
Of Billings, but we fear it will be a
source Of regret to those editors for
the rest Of their natural lives, when
they learn that they are not to be
given an opportunity to observe how
Billings does things. OF course we
have no bunalo. nor wild COW hcys,
nor tame Indians to show them; but
we could give them an exhibition by
Dr. McCorkle's and Harry Grubbs'
celebrated educated trick dogs; we
could show them the building where
in the famous Carrie Nation lectured !;
we could take them to the Billings gas
wells. which, by the way, are now in
a state Of "inocuous disuetude;" we
could take them to the spot, and show
them the hole in the ground, could tell
them how certain scheming, cold
blooded Enid capitalists got a scoop
upon our fellows and struck bonanza
salted coal mine south Of town, we
could, # McManis is not out of town
that day show them the man that
struck Billy Patterson; but why re
count these things they will miss.
The editors are good fellows and we
would not wish to cause them the least
regret by recounting What might
nave been. Billings News.

These are only facts set out. There
IS no attempt or intent here to defend
a niser or a mere money lover for the
