MANY, PERSONS MADE
ILL BY GERMS IN MILK

In connection with the campaign
for pure milk that the Consumers
League is carrying on, it is inter
esting to hear what the Department
of Agriculture has to say on this SUBJ
iect of the dangers of bacteria in
milk. To quote from Farmers Bulle-
tin 400:
1T is now generally recognized
that many of the diseases which may
be communicated from one person to
another are caused by specific Dac-
terra It is also well known that GER
tain diseases are sometimes dissent
mated through milk. BY this means
an epidemic may appear suddenly
and last for a comparatively short
time or the infection may be con-
tinued for a long period and the deve-
lopment of the disease be so slow and
obscure that the source is unknown
Tuberculosis is an example of the
latter class. Also a number of cpl
denies of diphtheria and scarlet fever
have been traced to the milk supply
In diseases of this nature the milk is
infected by some one suffering from
an attack of the disease, or through

some one who has been in contact
with the patient. Obviously, no one
suffering from a contagious disease
or who is caring for a diseased per-
son should be allowed to go near the
stables or handle the milk utensils.
Typhoid fever is readily cOmmuni-
Gated from one person to another.
Milk may become infected with this
disease in various ways. Contami-
mated water may find its way into
pans, pals or bottles, or flies may
go from the wash, from the sick room
to the milk or milk utensils. Also
we have heard much lately of 'ty-
phoid carriers who, while they may
be in good health, carry and give of
from their bodies typhoid germs"
It is in view of all these dangers
that may Turk in milk that looks and
smells all right, that the Consumers
League and the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society desire to investigate the con-
ditions of Wilmington's milk supply
with the aim of having an effective
milk ordinance passed by the City
Council to protect babies and all who

That Stamp Filtration AGAIN

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly publish in your
valuable column the stamp flirta-
ton?
Hoping to hear from you, l re-
main, GEORGE y. NJ.
Readers, if you knew the effect
that stamp request had on me, you
refrain, truly you would.
It's so silly
However, here il is, and please cut
it out, interested persons;
Upside down in left corner-l love
you.
Crosswise, left-hand corner-My
heart is another's.
Straight up and down-Goodny,
sweetheart
Upside down in right corner
Write me no more.
In middle at top-1es.
In middle at bottom-No.
In right-hand corner at right an
gles-I love YOU,
In left-hand corner at right an
gles-I hate you.
Top corner, straight wish your
friendship.
In line with surname-Accept my
love.
Same upside down. am engaged.
Same, at right angles-I long 10
see you.
The stamp Irritation is hard on the
postal clerks these hot days. They
do not feel like hunting on both
sides of an envelope for the stamp
that must be Cancelled.
Also, this Irritation" is an ex-
tremely cheap way of trying to eK-
press ones sentiments. The recipi
ent, l should think, would hardly
feel complimented.

While black taffeta is still a leader,
IL is noticed as the season advances,
that white is becoming more and
more favored. At one of the recent
race meets in Paris white gowns pre-
dominated Lace and net were used
considerably over foundations of
white satin or taffetas. There were
numbers of black froeks. too. relieved
by the pure, crisp white of organdie
vests and cuffs. and one frock that
caused quite a bit of attention showed
a tunic of black organdie. This ma
terial has not been used for some
years, but with the growing inclina-
ton for sheer effects 1t may be seen
often this season.

Plain able Linen

wives.
IN the restaurant referred to 1t is
quite satisfactory, for the cloth Is
changed naturally for every diner
says an exchange. But in the ordi-
nary household it has this one dis
advantage. 1t does show wrinkles
and spots more quickly than a heavy
figured damask does.
So, if there is not fresh cloth for
every meal, damask may be better
choice.
But the linen is beautiful, and in
anv household II might be used for Il

The napkins and tablecloths for
every meal-damask-may be like the
ordinary napkin hem, finely done by
hand, or else they are hemstitched in
an inch wide hem.

proudly, running a hand through
his red curly hair; look at that

Davie Dear nodded admiringly.
So did Billy Brown.

doubtfully.
Franks face took on a superior

He's nearly seven cried DAVE
eagerly. land he doesn't act like

Frank looked at Davie and then
at Billy's retreating form. De.
lection was written in every line of
Billy's sturdy little figure. Frank
looked at Davie again.
Go ahead and call him If you
want to- said Frank.
Sunshine spread over Davies
face.
"Goody!" he cried. and then ran
after Billy, calling his name.

Platter cloths are a great saving to
the tablecloths, for the carver is often
unfortunate enough to spill piece of
meat, thereby spelling the appearance
of the whole table. Nothing affects
ones appetite quite so quickly as the

who is not hungry will be tempted to

else was needed. while Davie and
