that a holy war will never be de-

THE DANGERS IN NOT USING
 GOOD MILK

Very few consumers of milk ever stop to think of how it IS produced. Many sieknesses, especially in children have been traced by medi- cal research to the improper hand ling of milk.
 A short time ago thyphoid fever broke out in the upper section of New York City and was traced by the Board of Health to the milk which had come from farm in the Northern section of New York State.
 Milk when taken from the COW is in pure state, and IS the best whole food known to man, but care lessly handled 1t becomes a danger, as the warm milk is ready to re. ceive foreign bacteria whie h multiply at an alarming rate until the milk IS dangerous to use. but cannot be deteced unless analized.
 Use milk which is produced under the following methods:
 Clean b ,rn, cows cleaned one half hour before milking to allow the dust to settle, clean milking cans, dry milking, the habit of some milkers in wetting the hands with the milk before milking is discust ing and dangerous to milk. The use of tobacco in any form prohi- bited by milkers in the barn, wash ing the hands before milking. taking the milk from the barn as soon as it comes from the COW as there are more bacteria in the barn than out in the air.
