weather is here The warning, the of
lCe INSISTS, is meant especially for
mothers caring for babies. The dan
gers that lie in warm milk, in process
of decomposition, are well known to
the average mother, officials say. That
it is one of the main causes of cholera
infantum is a we'll known fact Dr.
W. c. Woodward, health officer, said
yesterday that many states and mu
inequalities had laws compelling milk
distributors to keep milk below a GER
tain temperature in warm weather.
There is no such law, though
it would be we'll if there were
one" he said. Carelessness on the
part of milk dealers and the cOnsum-
ing public in letting milk become
warm and begin to decompose, is Sc
verely discouraged by the local health
experts. The warm milk, thus de-
composing brings on many forms of
stomach disorders for adult and child
alike.
! Seventeen Windows Shattered
official count of the windows in KEN
per hall at Eleventh and Main streets
broken by the firing of the 21-gun
| salute from the guns of Battery B
runs up to II. The windows were or
dered replaced and it is probable that
| bill to cover the cost will be turned
over to the battery organization. Cap
| tain Compton asked that the windows
be left open, but this was not done and
window after window was shattered
as the three-inch guns doomed forth.
Many small buildings in the downtown
district were shaken by the concus-
! sion.
Expect Big Onion CrOp-The anci-
ent practice of counting chickens be-
! fore they are Matched finds as follow
ers this year the Pleasant Valley On
ion Growers association. Counting
their onions before they are grown the
association tuber raisers have decided
that there will be at least 100000
bushels and they have therefore or
dered sacks sufficient to accommodate
a crop of these proportions. Now for
240,000 bushels it is necessary. to have
10000 sacks containing two bushels
or 10 pounds of onions. There are
| 10000 sacks in a car load so to get
enough containers for the 1916 asso-
citation crop the Pleasant Valley grow
ers ordered two carloads, which ar
rived here last week. The association
crop will probably be much over the
100000 mark and the total Pleasant
Valley crop will be much in excess of
that figure as there are many independ-
ent growers.
