A CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN
Some Suggestions Regarding Mdk Seppy and Soecess OF

place, milk constitutes the chief diet
Of young children; in the second
place because, while 1t Is the most
wholesome of foods. yet 1t Is the most
dangerous The number Of children
under one year OF age that die In our
cities is appalling. Careful research
has revealed the fact that impure
milk, above all things, Is the most
responsible All kinds Of germs OF
disease thrive in milk. While 1t Is
important to know that the COW from
which the milk comes Is healthy, as
mater OF fact 1t Is vastly more i'm.
portant that the milk. after being
taken from the cow. Is handled in
such a manner as to keep the germs
of disease out OF 1t and prevent the
development OF germs OF all kinds. Alb
solute cleanliness is of the first import
ance Cooling the milk and keeping
it at a low temperature Is absolutely
necessary. No milk should be sold
from any dairy or household where
there is a contagious disease OF any
description. The best guarantee that
the milk you buy Is clean will be your
knowledge OF the way the dairyman's
wife keeps her house, and the way
the dairyman keeps his house and his
stables. The pure food ordinance Is
a success-a benefit TO the city Just In
proportion as 1t Is enforced. II you
want to see that the pure food ordi-
nance is enforced. help the food in
spector to do It. Comply with the
ordinance. Have your own cows in
spected and take out your license.
And. last OF all. report to the food
inspector any delinquency on the part
OF others to comply with tho provi-
sions OF the ordinance. II you are
getting bad milk or bad meat. take II
to the food inspector who will look
the matter up in detail and In that
way be able to bring about better
