HEALTH HINTS

The care of milk is important
for all, but It is a vital necessity
in home where there are children.
1t is absolutely essential 10 the safety
OF babies.
No Intelligent mother will leave the
task OF caring for or preparing the
milk for her baby to an ignorant or
ordinary servant
Mothers OF all small means should
get explicit directions from their own
physicians for the proper handling Of
milk and for cleaning and sterilizing
nursing bottles.
Remember that milk for babies can.
not be kept too cold and that too
much care cannot be given 10 keeping
1t clean and covered.
AS soon as milk bottle is emptied
rinse 1t thoroughly with cold water.
Do not return dirty bottles and do not
use milk bottles for anything except
to hold milk.
Returning dirty milk bottles to the
dealer may mean that a few days la.
ter you or your neighbors will get
contaminated milk.
Milk bottles should never be taken
into a sick room. In a case Of infec.
tious or contagious disease all bottles
should be boiled thoroughly ana
should not be returned to the dealer
without permission Of the attending
physician.
Milk should be delivered and KEEP,
at temperature OF 50 degrees Fab.
renheit or lower, the cooler the bet.
ter. At such temperatures germs de.
velop very slowly and milk undergoes
little change until ready for use.
A slight rise in temperature above
so degrees Fahrenheit permits germs
to multiply rapidly and brings about

that Miss Susie took a saunter IN the
field one day, looking to gather some
viii dstra wberries. Before she had
picked a single berry she heard a
voice calling to her and, looking
around, she saw a young man seated
on a log. He beckoned TO her to an.

said
