CARE OF MILK IN THE HOME
Frequently Contains Bacteria In Such
Large Numbers II ls Not Safe
for the Children.

Milk delivered in the cities In the
summer months frequently contains
bacteria in such large numbers that
It is not a safe food for children, espe-
cially for infants whose food consists
entirely of milk. When 1t is impossi-
BILE to obtain milk entirely free from
suspicion. it is advisable to pasteurize
the milk
Pasteurization should be done In
such way that disease-producing
bacteria as we'll as those likely to pro-
duce intestinal disturbances are de-
stroyed without injuring the flavor or
the nutritive value of the milk. This
may be accomplished in the home by
the use of simple improvised outfit.
Milk is most conveniently pasteur-
lied in the bottles In which 1t Is de-
livered. To do this use q small pail
with a perforated false bottom. An
inverted pie tin with a few holes
punched in it will answer for this pur-
pose. This viii raise the bottles from
the bottom of the pail, thus allowing
free circulation of the water and
preventing humping of the bottles.
Punch a hole through the cap OF
one of the bottles and insert a Their
mometer-a good one with the scale
etched on the glass should be used.
Set the bottles of milk in the pail and
fill the pail with water nearly to the
level Of the milk. Put the pail on the
stove or over gas fame and heat II
until the thermometer in the MILL
shows not less than las degrees mol
more than $50 degrees. The bottles
should then be removed and allowed
to stand from 20 to 80 minutes.

The principal purpose In building a

out this idea 1t is necessary to divide
the interior of the building so that
utensils will not have to be washed
