PROTECTING MILK FROM GERM
CONTAMINATION.

No matter how well the milk has
been handled up to the time of It's
delivery to the consumer, 1t cannot
be expected to keep well il 1t is care
lessly treated thereafter. Milk should
be kept in perfectly clean vessels and
should be loosely, not tightly. covered.
in order that there may be acces of
air to It, since the absence of fresh
air favors the growth of certain
p~utrefactive organisms. The entirely
open vessel is only allowable in per
fectly clean surroundings, not only
free from dust, but with no strong
fiavorfng substance near from which
odors could be absorbed.
Since dust plants cause putregaction
all exposed food should be covered TO
keep out dust. Some foods grow bit
rancid. and in most of these cases
when food spoils it is due to the
growth on Dr. in the substance itself
of the little plants which have been
carried to it through ordinary dust.
Certain dust plants like the sugar of
milk n while feeding on it change a
part of 1t into Tactic acid. which
soagulates the casein of the milk,
causing to to form in looser, light
dakes, such as we see in ordinary o
milk.
Millions Of Bacteria in Glass of Milk.
The cleaner the milk the longer it
will keep sweet, for bacteria are
thickest where there are dirt and de-
cay. It's ~opaqueness hides much of the
solid dirt, which not only seeds it with
bacteria, but adds certain soluble mat.
tiers. Too often the dirty character OF
the milk is known only by sight of
the, actual dirt at the bottom of the
empty glass. And a glass of ordinary
uncfean milk contains millions of bac.
terra, which, although harmless to a
Vigorous adult, are the cause, direct
nj indirect, of the death OF thousands
of young children annually. Therefore
we should keep in mind that dust con.
tains living plants which, when they
find food in a moist, warn place,
grow and multiply.

everything is dusty, that dust means
dust plants, that dust plants mean the

milk and the vessels in which it is
stored. And milk should never be left
exposed in the kitchen or pantry dur
ing sweeping, because the moulds and
bacteria in the dust will settle on it.
Neither should it be placed uncovered
by an open window.
Milk received in good condition is
infrequently rendered unfit for
food by careless handling in the home.

Pictures and inscriptions showing the people of Bridgeport how Q large percent of the population is living far below the comfort line are to be dis played in the moving picture theatres of the city, this to be one of many features of the publicity campaign which the Housing Association is now rapidly developing. Many of the pie turei theatre managers are cordially Joining with the association in this movement; and all of these shows will be asked to do so before the week ends.
 In addition to the slides that will appear on the screens of the picture shows, the Housing Association will show a wide variety of these views, when its public meetings begin later in the month. Through Leet B.
