THE DANGERS IN NOT USING
 GOOD MILK

Very few consumers of milk ever stop to think of how 1t is produced.
 Many sieknesses, especially in children have been traced by medi- cal research to the improper hand ling of milk.
 4 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 lis the best whole food known to man, but care lessls handled it becomes a danger, as the warm milk is ready to re. ceive foreign bacteria whi, h multiply at an alarming rate until the milk is dangerous to use. but cannot be deteeed unless anahzed.
 Use milk which is produced under the following methods:
 Clean b irn, 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 diseust 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. The liberal use of q good dis infectant daily around the barn, especially in the gutters. These rules are strictly inforced at Brook side Dairy Farm, as the REPORTS of the STATE will prove by the low number of bacteria in Brookside Farm milk.
 Use Brookside Farm Bottled Milk delivered daily. 4 guarantee of its purity goes with every bottle

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. who re gently returned from a trip through parts of India and Europe, expresses some interesting views of foreign women
 The English girl as I have met and studied her. said Mrs. Wilcox. ''is a delightful being. To me her great charm lies in her modesty and fresh ness and the wonderful childlike quail ity of her outlook upon life. d quality distinctly lacking i'll the typical Amer ican girl l think it is accounted for by the greater intimacy of family life in England.
 Tn their earliest years American girls are more with their parents and are not sent away from home so soon as in England, but later there seems to be far more friendship between the parents and children in England than in America. The American girl as sertS her independence very early and becomes more aggressive in conse- quence. She is. 1 admit, better poised than the English girl and is more en- tertaining. but unless she has had wise guidance she often develops some very unpleasant qualities"
 Mrs Wilcox is q student of oriental philosophies. literature and history, and her observations on India. which she visited on her travels. are valua- ble. She especially admires Mrs. Be sant. whom she considers to be doing the most wonderful work of her time in India.
 "Rrahmans. Buddhists, Parsees and persons of all religions and sects in India. though at variance with each other and opposed to many of the Christian missions. unite in praising the work of Annie Besant She Is. in her great college at Benares and in other schools founded by her. devel- oping the edueat fonal life of India in accordance with its own natural en- vironment and having as it's basis the moral elevation of character. l met brilliant native woman writer who had written an impassioned plea for education on Indian. not on European, lines and who has already started school for that purpose. She is op- posed to the education which aims at making Indian women mere imitation Europeans.
