Users Are Cautioned as to
Danger Lurking in Dirty
Bottles and Against Taking
Receptacles from Sick
Room to the Milk Wagon.

No matter how carefully milk is
handled between the farm and tine home.
or in how pure state it is delivered at
the domestic ice box. it quickly can be-
come an undesirable food IL carelessly
handled in the home, according to the
specialists of the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture. Milk that is left
for only short time in summer heat
may become unfit for use
Milk will quickly become contaminated
when exposed to the air or when placed
in unclean vessels. Though some bac-
terra are always present, even in the
best grades of fresh milk, they are gen.
orally harmless, provided their numbers
are small and they are not of the dis
ease-producing type; but milk must he

in it. and which may get in it by ACCT
dent, from multiplying to a point where
the milk is undesirable. Producers and
dealers have done their duty if they
have left at the door a bottle of clean,
cold, unadulterated milk, free from the
bacteria which cause disease. The con-
sumner must then do his part, if he wants
clean, wholesome milk for himself and
his family.
Milk should be taken into the house
and put in the refrigerator as soon after

food. Milk drawn from the faucet of
a mink dealers can, while not exposed
to the air SO long as dipped milk, also
has the disadvantage OF not being thor.
oughly mixed. Some customers. there
fore, receive less than their share Of
cream.
II bottled milk cannot be obtained, try
to have the milk delivered personally
to some member of the family. and re-
ceive it in a scalded, covered vessel that
has not been exposed to the air of a
room or street. Otherwise. set out a
scalded, covered dish or bowl. or a glass
preserving jar with a glass top without
n rubber band. In no case should an
uncovered vessel be used.
Substitutes for Refrigerator.
To aid persons who find ice difficult to
obtain to keep their household milk in
better condition than if it is allowed
to stand around in heated rooms, the
dairy experts of the department have
issued the following recommendations:
If it is impossible to procure ice, the
milk bottle can be kept cooler than the
surrounding air by keeping it in a jar
or pail Of running water. Where it is
impossible to use running water from a
faucet, wrap the bottle in a damp cloth
and put 1t in a current of air. This
method will keep the milk a few degrees
cooler than il left simply in the air.
The use Of ice, however, is always pre-
ferable.
If there Is no refrigerator in the house
an inexpensive ice-box for keeping milk
cool in summer can easily be made by
putting about two inches of sawdust
or excelsior in the bottom OF a small
wooden box about eighteen inches long,
twelve inches wide. and fourteen inches
deep. Into this set a covered jar or tin
bucket about eight inches in diameter
and tall enough to hold a small milk
bottle. A stone jar is better than a tin
pail, as it will not rust nor grow leaky.
Pack sawdust around the outside of the
pail or jar. place the milk bottle in the
pail. and place cracked ice around the
bottle. Put a cover on the pail or jar.
Lay several thicknesses of newspaper on
top Of the pail and close the lid Of the
wooden case.

tie as needed. and any unused milk
should not be returned to the bottle
after having been poured into another
vessel Do not let milk stand in a warm
room on the table any longer than is
necessary. Do not place milk in a re-
frigerator compartment with onions or
other food having a strong odor.
Before returning the bottles to the
mill,man, wash them first in cold water
and then in warm water. Do not use
milk bottles for holding vinegar. kero-
sene, or other substances than milk.
Never take milk bottles into sick room,
because infectious diseases can be spread
through a milk bottle returned to the
farm and delivered to some other home.
This is a civic duty that every one owes
to his neighbours. II there Is case Of
typhoid fever. or other serious communal
cable diseases in the house, the fairest
thing to do for ones neighbor is to pro-
vide ones own clean bottles or covered
GIshes into which the milkman can poLr
the milk from his bottle. II bottles are
left in such a home, the mlkman should
not be allowed to collect them again I'M
til they have been properly disinfected
by the board OF health. At any rate, if
there is a serious sickness in the hor,e
all milk bottles should be boiled before
being sent out Of the house.
Milk Dipper Dangerous.

the faucet of a can may be a source of
danger. and should be avoided where t
is possible to get bottles of milk.

an excellent chance for floating disease

ICE AGE TREES IN ILLINOIS.
Plants Found Whose Species Flour

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-Members Of the In
ternational Photographic Society who
made studies among the hills and cliffs
about Lake Bluff this week discovered
there species Of trees and shrubs that
have been retained in the region since the
Ice Age. These species. the Europeans
found, have been preserved through thou
sands of years.
The poplar and creeping Juniper. ex-
amples of the Ice Age fora, rarely found
in this part of the temperate zone, were
seen fiourishing vigorously beside the
beech, birch, oak, and maple, which fol-
lowed them in the normal succession.
Lake Bluff is said to be further south
for the creeping juniper.
From Chicago the travellers went to
Lincoln, Nebr., to make a study Of the
prairies lying about that city.
