What does a man love more than life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-Miss
Sarah Campbell. trained nurse, who
was on board the freight steamship

being discussed through the
daily press, and especially at the pres
ent time when the cattle disease Is
prominently before the public and peo-
pie are suffering from such diseases
as typhoid fever and tuberculosis,
many of them traceable to impure
milk, For these reasons 1t Is neces-

A great many people are totally un-
acquainted with the source OF their
milk supply. Much light has been
thrown on the subject by Robert G..
Scholtz. manager of the Troy Milk Co,
of No. 1882 John R.-st., who says:
Every drop OF milk sold by the Troy
MIX Co. is absolutely pure. Our milk
comes from Elliotts farm and Sunny
crest farm and under same conditions
from both-all from pure bred Jersey
COWS, which are cared for with utmost
leanliness-supplied daily with fresh
straw bedding. The floors are cement
and cement gutter carries of all
refuse and droppings. Before milking
each COW is washed off, the mixer
washes his hands and puts on clean
duck suit The pals are sterilized
and clean, and milk is Immediately
strained into clean cans and put into
cold running water to remove any anil
NAL heat. The milk from each COW is
tested regularly for quality and purity.
and every COW is put on balanced feed
to maintain the standard. Ventilation
supplies pure air at uniform tenn
perature. In fact. the air is purer than
I'm many a home. and everything Is so
spotlessly clean that II Is surprise
to people. But our supply OF pure wa

The water all comes from an artesian
