"NIilk particularly deteriorates rapid

already contains bacteria. Housewives,
therefore should see to IL that their
milk after being left by the milkman
does not stand for any length OF time
on a hot back porch or stoop before Il
IS put In the icebox. Milk bottles
should be kept closed, both in the Ice
box and out OF Il. IL there Is any
doubt at all as to the excellence of the
local milk supply, pasteurize all milk.
"All foods should be kept covered or
wrapped and always out OF. the reach
OF fiiess which are deadly carriers OF
typhoid. All vessels. pitchers, etc. In
which food Is to be stored should first
be scalded. Food should be handled
as little as possible. The icebox, es-
pecially It's drain pipe. should be clean

Ing water and washing soda and given
an occasional airing. A persistent bat.

Boiled water can be made just as
palatable as unboled water. The fiat
taste which boiled water has soon after

after boiling Is put in scalded shallow
open pans and allowed 10 stand for
twenty-four hours where, flies or dirt
cannot get at II. Il Will regain It's air
and have its usual taste restored by
the second day.

in'summer that people should not be
misled into believing that the label
