MRS. PAUL BALDWIN
DIES IN THE west
DAUGHTER OF MRS. J. w. THOMP-
SON PASSED AWAY AT PASA-
DENA, CAL, FROM TUBERCU-
LOSIS.

The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Paul Baldwin, who died at her home
in Pasadena, Cali, this morning at
2 o'clock, reached Minot today. Mrs.
Baldwin had been i'll of tuberculosis
for several years but at one time it
was believed that she had practically
been restored to health. She visited
with her mother in this city for some
time, but about year ago, left for
the west to join her husband and two
sons, five and two years of age. Grow
ing weaker, Mrs. Thompson left for
Pasadena short time ago and was
at Mrs. Baldwin's bedside when the
grim reaper visited the home.
The funeral will be held at Santa
Anna, Cali, where the grandmother
of the deceased resides, and the re-
mains will be inferred there.
Mrs. Baldwin, who was Miss Ethel
Thompson, was born twenty-five years
ago last February. She spent much
of her life in Minot, where by her
sweet ways, she won host of friends.
She leaves besides her mother, two
brothers, L. J. Thompson, our county
auditor, and Keither Thompson, and
a sister, Mrs. r. E. Barron.

NfRR|L'S GREAT TALK
0N.PURE Milk
SPECIALIST OPENED THE EYES
"A OF HIS AUDIENCE WHEN HE
TOLD ABOUT FORMS OF CON-
TAMIN ATED MILK.

Fred w. Merrill, dairy specialist
employed by the DeLaval Cream Sep
arator Co., gave an unusually instruc-
tive address on pure milk at the club
room Of the Public Library Saturday.
1t is too bad that so good lecture
was not attended by much larger
crowd. The lecture was given under
the auspices of the Minot Dairy Co.,
and was free.
Mr.. Merrill impressed upon his aud
fence the necessity of having the milk
supply as clean as the water we drink.
So much of our milk comes from dirty
cows, on dirty farms, handled by dirty
people with dirty pals.
So many human diseases are con-
tracted from impure milk, scarlet fe-
yer, typhoid fever, diphtheria, tuber-
culosis and various forms of sore
throat.
Many farmers strain the milk thru
a cloth. Manure and other dirt COL
lects in the cloth and milk that might
otherwise be fairly pure, becomes
dirty in this manner.
Mr.. Merrill dwelt upon the necessity
of washing the udders of the cows,
and even tho the cows are washed
with an antiseptic, all of the bacilli
cannot be destroyed. For this reason,
all milk should be heated at 145 de-
grees to kill the germs, and then cool
ed to- so degrees and kept at that tenn
perature until used.
Many cows have the various forms
of lump jaw. While human beings
may not become i'll from drinking
the milk of a cow ill from the foot and
mouth disease, the milk will cause
constipation of the young calves.
A great many Of our cows have tu-
berculosis and the fact that more peo-
pie do not contract the disease, is on
account of the fact that they have
strong constitutions and ward off the
disease.
Cows should be tested each week.
They should have nice, warm, we'll
lighted stalls. Milk houses should be
provided. He said that Chicago had
much better system for getting a
supply of pure milk than North Dako-
Ia: He spoke of a quart Of milk hav-
ing the same food value as eight eggs,
and referred to milk as the most nour-
ishing of all foods. =
It might be said in connection with
this article, that the Minot Dairy Co.
treats its milk, so that all germs are
killed.
