Real Winter

The country and state have been
having some real winter for sever
al days and Lamar while not get
ting her full share has still had
more than our people desired OF
had put in a call for. Ii began on
Sunday and kept getting worse un-
til Tuesday morning when the
thermometer of the government sta
ton registered 13 below zero. AS
this was the first thing even re-
sembling winter that has reached
our people this season we were to-
tally taken unawares and it felt
even worse than 1t was. AS soon az
the papers began to come in telling
what stunts the thermometers al
other points in the state and
nation were performing. our cit-
zens began to thaw out and feel re-
lieved. To-day the sun is shining
and everything Is thawing out
nicely.

See that the milk is pure.
See that the receptacle it is put in
is clean.
See that it Is taken into the house
soon after delivery.
See that it is kept cool.
See that the milk bottle, or other
vessel in which milk is received from
the dairyman, is not taken into or out
of the sick room.
If you have no refrigerator, make
one.
1t Is your duty to the community to
see that the bottles returned to the
milkman are clean.
DO not use dipped milk in the
restaurant or at home
No matter how pure the milk is,
when it is delivered at the home of
the customer, it will quickly become
unfit for use if received in an un-
clean vessel, or II exposed to the air
or the summer heat. The producer
and the dealer, having delivered the
milk in pure state, the consumer
must protect his family and himself
by doing his part and keeping it pure.
1t Is best to receive milk in sealed
bottles, or in other closely covered re-
Ceptacles, to keep out the air and dust
Of the street. Then it should be TAX

milk consumer, to return the bottles
carefully cleansed-first in cold wa

For the sake of those who cannot

the experts of the department have

1t is held that the public library has
been of inestimable benefit in raising
the grade Of child literature and ad-
ult literature. The cheap injurious
trash bool. is eliminated and the eff
feet has been wholesome in the ex-
treme. 1t is hoped that by a similar
process better tastes in music may be
encouraged.
Although the plan of Mr. Legler
viii not be taken up at once for lack
of funds the idea has strong support
from the library board. One of the
strongest points about the plan is the
economy that would be worked. For
instance there are operas of which
the score and words in a volume cost
SO Now If 500 people wished to
avail themselves of that opera the ex-
pense under private purchase would
be $4,000. But with an investment of
$50 the library could obtain six copies
of the opera and every one of those
500 could have the use of copy.

ties Milk dipped from a can, either
on the street or in store or restaur-
ant, is dangerous-especially for
children and invalids who are unable
to withstand the bacteria. The air
ot the street, the home, or the store,
may be laden with dust and germs.
Filthy conditions may prevail, or the
milk may be handled carelessly.
Talk of germs and bacteria may
have become a fad with some people,
and the ignorant may hoot at the
suggestion of so much precaution
against invisible things; but, when the
life of a mans child, or his neigh
boris child, is at stake, he and his
family cannot be too careful in jietry
matters even of the simplest nature.
