How would you like to be Uncle Sans
'ficiaI entertainer? It's the greatest
sport in the world. Take 1t from the one
who has the job-Maj. J. J. Dickinson.
Just think of being able to say With a
,lpocket full of coin drawn right out or
the United States Treasury for the ex-
press purpose: Come on fellows, let's
have a real dinner" or, Let's see one
of the best operas-or burlesque shows
in town, old top"
That's the principal work done by Maj.
Dickinson in his capacity as official host
of the nation. His real title Is special
Commissioner for the Panama Exposi-
tion.'' Now you understand, don't you,
why he has to play official host?" He
has to wine and dine this and that
foreign visitor with an Interior motive,
said motive being to instilI into their
minds, while winning their hearts through
their stomachs, the importance OF
having their respective countries partici-
pate in the Panama-Pacitic Exposition.
"BIaJ. Dick" Ready.
If it's a potentate from the continent
there's only one continent as far as
Europeans are concerned-or a high mo
gul from the Far East, who haughtily
steps afoot American soil, the first thing
the State Department does is to send for
Mai Dick TO wine and dine him, and
incidentally win him. Fully thousand
dinners or more epitomizes in a small
way the number of meals the major has
eaten "out" since his appointment to the
position.
Secretary of State Bryan prides him
self on the selection Of the major as
official host"
Where in the eXpanse Of the States
can a more expansive smile, a more
genial soul, a more thorough epicure,
connoiseur or raconteur be found" asks
Secretary Bryan. referring to the major.
And how you ask, does the Official
host devise palatable and new dishes
for the vastly contrasted tastes of the
Oriental Rajah and the Occidental
Prince?
''Why, one time a prominent member
Of Europe's nobility was here, and il
became my duty-my pleasure, also-to
escort him about I determined to in
troduce him to a menu that would give
him exceptional delight. Well, I studied
days and days and after we had par
taken Of nothing but dishes out Of
season. my polite guest-lauding the din
ner-said: ''Y'know Massh, 1 would be
so pleased at some dinnan II some Of you
progressive Americans would offer me
some Of your much touted ham and cab
bawge"

Perhaps the most frequent cause of
complaint arising from consumers is
due to unclean utensils. In certain
towns and cities most of the milk is
poured from large cans into recepta
cles supplied by customers. Often
these cans, bottles or pitchers stand
open exposed to dust particles; hence
the milk becomes contaminated with
more or less foreign matter. Furth-
err, it is true that the bottles and cans
given out by customers are net thoro-
ughly cleansed and scalded, but are
simply rinsed out, stoppered tightly
and left to stand in warm place.
Odors emanating from a can treated
in this manner will soon convince any
one of the harmful results due to
careless washing. To clean milk
receptacles first rinse all cans and
bottles in lukewarm water contain
ing soap or washing powder to re-
move dirt and milk adhering to the
oiuCo, hot VosCi SOOAo ZIG S0SSih anu
forms a coating difficult to remove
Follow this with a thorough washing
in hot water to remove all soap, and
lastly rinse in clean boiling water
and sterilize. Leave the cans and
bottles open to air out.
Consumers should cooperate with
the milk dealer and insist that all
milk shall be put in clean bottles,
preferably at the dairyman's milk
room, and not poured from can to can
on the street.
There is right and justice in the
demand of the consumer for a clean
err, purer milk, and there is equal
right and justice in the demand of the
producer that he be repaid the extra
cost of producing this extra quality,
and no amount of inspection or legs
lation will really avail much until the
producers are adequately repaid.

State Dairy Inspector.

The care of the milk in the house
hold Is an important feature and the
consumer demands of the dairyman
clean milk of uniform composition, of
good quality and favor not impaired
by improper feeds, free from disease
germs and preservatives or adulter-
ants, and, lastly, milk of such quail
ties that it will keep sweet at least
twelve hours after delivery. Little
does the consumer realize that he
alone is, in a majority of cases, re-
sponsible for the souring Of milk or
for its disagreeable flavors.
Bottles and cans of milk delivered
early in the morning often remain on
the doorstep until noon exposed to
the warm rays of the sun. Milk un-
der such conditions soon attains a
temperature of 20 to 80 degrees or
higher, a most favorable temperature
for the development of Tactic acid
bacteria. Certified milk containing
less than 10000 bacteria per C. C. kept
at a constant temperature of 70 to 80
degrees would sour more rapidly than
milk containing 100000 bacteria per
C. C. kept at temperature of As de-
grees. Below SO degrees F. there ia
little increase in the growth of bact-
eria which cause the souring Of milk.
Hence consumers should put the milk
on ice Immediately after receiving
the same. However, milk should not
be placed in a refrigerator contain
ing such foods as onions, turnips,
fish, ETC., that give rise to strong
odors. Milk takes up strong fiavors
more rapidly than any other food.
Another source of trouble charge
able to the consumer Is that bottles
of milk are left exposed to the dust
particles and to the heat of the kitch-
en- stove. More bacteria gain en-
trance to the milk and souring goes
on more rapidly, especially amid such
warm surroundings.
