WARNING TO PARENTS.

It is risky to feed raw milk and
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut
most cleanliness is observed at all
times, particularly during milk
ing; that the employees are thor
oughly healthy and cleanly per-
sons; that the cows are free from
diseases; that the water used for
rinsing is Of undoubted purity, and
that the milk is quickly cooled
and kept cold and covered until

phoid and other intestinal dis
eases
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteuriZing milk or
by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk (and
cream) by keeping II at 40 deg. +.
for twenty to thirty minutes does
not affect its nutritivs value nor
its digestibility.
The best system is to pasteur-
iZe the milk after II has been
bottled
You can home pasteurize raw
milk nv heating IT TO near boiling,
then cool, and keep cold and Gov.
cred until used.
Most indigestion IN babies Is
caused by milk too rich in cream.

Notes of RcbeI<ah Lodges.


A large attendance of members was
noted at the regular meeting of Es-
ther Rebekah Lodge, No. 5, !. o. o. F.,
last Monday evening in its lodgeroom
at Odd Fellows Hall.
During the business of the evening
two applications were received. The
election of officers took place. and re-
suited as follows: Noble grand, Ida l.
Brimer, unanimously elected; the po-
sition of vice grand was contested be-
tween two candidates, Sisters Amy NJ.
Glossbrenner and Mollie Plymale. The
contest was close, there being seventy
votes cast. Among the ballots were
found two blank votes, the balance
showing thirty-fve for Sister Plymale
and thirty-three for Sister Glossbren-
ner. Sister Plymale was declared by
Noble Grand Motler to be elected to
the Office OF vice grand: recording sec
retary, Maude Keiser Brooks; financial
secretary, Edna Ohlander: treasurer,
Linnie A. Keiser; degree master,
Charles a. Sample.
A motion was passed to invite all
Rebekah lodges to the installation of
the newly elected officers of Esther
Lodge, on Monday, January IL.
Prior to the election the recording
secretary read a letter of resignation
from lndnCldl
Johnston. to take effect Immediately.
The resignation was sincerely regret
ted as the lodge lost one of its most
efficient officers and will for some time
lose one of its most active and loyal
members. Sister Johnston will leave
for the West next week, to visit her
married sister in Nevada, where she
will spend some time. While she will
be missed from the lodge at its meet
ings, the membership sincerely hopes
she will have a safe and plea SAINT jour-
ney and will soon return to the fold.
During the evening Past Grand Anna
Billings spoke on the departure of Sis
ter Johnston for the West. and, in
behalf Of the Esther degree team, pre-
scented her with a handsome leather
travelling bag. completely equipped.
remarking that every member would
go with her on her journey in thought
and spirit until she returned. Sister
Johnston feelingly responded and ex-
pressed her deep appreciation for the
beautiful gift and the sentiment 1t con-
veyed. and assured every one that she
would always remember Esther lodge
and her members. and would come
back some time later and tell her ex-
periences.

The work of the week has been mostly
given up to the remembering of the
widows and orphans Of deceased mem
bers. The several tents, through COM
mittees. have been remembering the chill
dren of the deceased members, with son e
Christmas gifts as a token Of the fra
ternal love for the one who in former
years provided for his own. The K. o.
I. M. everywhere keeps green the mem
ory of departed brothers.
The members all over the District had
an additional thought to make them hap
py on Christmas Day, that the associa-
ton in the District of Columbia closed
the year with net gain in membership
and with fellowship warmed up to a de-
gree that betokens a more prosperous
new year.
The first meeting in January is the time
for the installing of the new Sofficers. and
1t is being looked forward to with a de-
gree of pleasure, each tent assuring itself
of improving the ways opened to IL TO
benefit its fellow-man.
