WARNING TO PARENTS,

1t is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
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 cleanIy 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
delivered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
culosis, Scarlet Fever. also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk land

The best system is TO pasteur-
ize the milk after it has been
bottled.
You can home pasteurize raw
