CLUBS which furnish diversion for the
leisure of other working girls. What
wonder is it that too often she falls
victim to the temptation of the po-
1ceman the groceryman or some 9TH
er man who gives her an occasional
friendly greeting. and thus joins the
large army of unmarried mothers who
annually apply to charitable institu-
tions for aid?
1t is reflection upon the mistresses
more than upon the maids themselves
that by far the larger number of these
unfortunates are girls who met their fall
while in domestic service. The claim
frequently is made that the maid servant
is protected by her mistress, but this is
not always the truth An instance re-
Gently was cited at Woman's club meet
ing of a mistress to whom young girl

Ter in the same household. Instead of
dismissing the man. the woman seifishly
discharged the girl upon the ground that
she could not be troubled with servants
disagreements and 1t was much easier to
secure a chambermaid than competent
butler. The social distinctions which
some mistresses attempt to raise be-
tween themselves and the girls who are
in their employ and should be under their
protection is one of the greatest dangers
to the safety of the girl in domestic serv-
ice.

WARNING TO PARENTS.

1t is risky to feed raw milk
and cream to children or inva-
lids unless you are sure that at
the farm which produces h e
milk the utmost cleanliness is
observed at all times, particu-
larry during milking; that the
employees are thoroughly healthy
and clearly persons. 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 de-
livered to you.
Raw milk often produces tu-
berculosis, scarlet fever, also
typhoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infec-
ton by properly pasteurizing
milk or by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizins milk
tand cream) by keeping it at 40
deg F. for twenty TO thirty
minutes does not affect it's nu-

The best system is to pasteur-

You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating it to near boil
