A Woman's Charm

Beautiful hair fluffy, lustrous,
abundant and free from dandruff, is
one of woman's greatest charms-it's
her main delight-yet many who
would be most attractive but for their
streaked, thin and lifeless hair, think
there is no remedy and that pretty
hair is a gift of nature. Beautiful
hair is really a matter of care and
attention. Partisan Sage, when rub
bed into the scalp and applied to the
hair, will work wonders-you will be
surprised and delighted with the first
application-not only will the hair
appear abundant, soft, fluffy. radiant
with life, but really doubly beautiful.
Partisan Sage supplies hair and
scalp needs. 1t surely removes dan
druff with one application and clean
SEES the hair of all dirt and excessive
oil. 1t is an inexpensive, scientific
tonic, and contains nothing to injure
the hair or scalp. 1t can be secured
from Wortley & French or at any
drug store.

HEALTH OFFICER
URGES CLEANING
Of MILK BOTTLES
Is SEEKING TO SAFE GUARD THE
HEALTH OF THE CITIZENS
OF BELDING


The warm weather of the next few
weeks will make it extremely hard for
the milkmen, serving the residents of
Bedding with milk, to keep the supply
in the proper sanitary condition. The
care OF safeguarding the milk supply
does not rest wholly with the milk
men, in the opinion of Health officer
Little. While he does not know that
the trouble exists, the health officer is
of the opinion that the containers are
not always washed by the housewives
before being returned TO the delivery
man.
The washing of milk bottles is not
only a sanitary practice but ii is i'm
perative under the law of the state.
In the Michigan law under the heading
'Sale of Unclean Milk and Cream"
Sec the following wording is found
"Any person, firm or corporation, not a
common carrier who receives from a
common carrier in cans, bottles or
other vessels any milk, or cream, ice
cream or other dairy product intended
as food for man, which has been
transported over any railroad or boat
when such cans. bottles, or other YES
sells are to be returned, shall cause the
said cans, bottles or other vessels, to
be thoroughly washed and cleansed
before return shipment"
The opening of milk bottles is also
prohibited by law except under certain
conditions. To quote Act 257 of 1911
relative to the authorized opening OF
milk bottles would also he of interest
to the whole public. This law reads:
From and after the date on which
this act takes effect, it shall be UNI
lawful for any driver of any milk
wagon, or any distributor of milk, or
any person whatsoever, except legally
authorized milk inspectors or persons
TO whom such milk is delivered to
open milk bottles or in any way inter-
fere with or modest the caps or covers
of the same after such milk bottles
shall have been closed at the cream
cry, or during the process of the deli
very Of said milk or after said milk
shall have been delivered in due
course of business and in the ordinary
manner"
Health officer Little is working for
the health and best interests of the
citizens of Belding and is offering
these few suggestions and quoting the
law in regard to them so that the
people may know what is considered
best for the public health in the eyes
of the state.
The following anonymous letter was
received last Friday by DIR. Little which
failed TO make amy impression upon
