Keep your cooking utensils clean and off

from dirty utensils. Keep the dishpan
clean, and everything else that has to do
with food. The cooks hands must be
clean. Typhoid fever has been contracted
from dirty hands
Keep flies out of your house, especially
the kitchen.
Milk Rules.
Tuberculosis kills 100000 people an
nually. It may be carried through infect
ed milk.
Select a milkman who has clean hands,
clean clothes. clean wagon, clean cans,
clean bottles.
Do not select a milkman because he
sells milk cheap.
Refuse milk that shows deposit of
dirt in the bottom of the bottle.
Do not forget that dirt in milk is a
menace to health.
Do not forget that dirty milk may kill
the baby.
Always keep pasteurzed milk cool Use
at once. Do not forget that germs multi
ply more rapidly in pasteurized milk than
in any other.
Do not leave milk uncovered anywhere.
Do not leave milk in a warm room or
unchilled ice box. Protect it from flies.
Do not leave it out of doors in the sun, or
exposed to cats and dogs.
Do not use the milk bottles for anything
but milk. =
Wash and scald milk bottles as soon as
emptied. Return clean bottles to the
milkman. Buy only bottled milk If pos
sible.
While these "Maxims'' may horrify
some good housekeepers, who would new
err think of being guilty of the negligence
implied. there are homes without num-
ber--nice homes, too-where sanitary and
hygienic rules are violated constantly.
In come of these it is because the house

others where the care of the kitchen and
marketing are left entirely to servants
