about as she likes with her neighbor
on the east. The fact that she is en-

pensed with as far as possible. Thus
the average person in this country
uses only a little more than half
pint of milk daily As a matter of
fact, milk contains all of the proper
ties that are needed to maintain a
healthy human being. 1t supplies the
protein, which rebuilds the body, and
it supplies the fat and sugar, which
at fifteen cents is no more expensive
than one pound of sirloin steak at
$40 cents a pound, so far as actual
food value is concerned.
How to Keep Milk.
On the other hand, no food needs
to be watched as carefully as milk to
prevent it from spreading disease. Left
standing about uncovered, it collects
germs as quickly as honeysuckle col
lects bees. No food has played such
an important part as milk in the
spread of infectious diseases. Thus
the department of agriculture bids
every household which uses milk
in spite of present Prices-to beware
of the following things: Buy only
the best milk obtainable. 1t is cheap

department before selecting your milk
dealer. Buy only bottled milk if posi-
BILE. Dipped milk is often dirty and
deficient in cream Take milk into
place in the refrigerator Immediately.
Bacteria increase rapidly in milk
which stands in the sun or warns up,
and such milk will sour quickly Keep
milk in the original bottle in the re-
frigerator until the moment of Serv-
ing. Milk which has been poured
from the bottle should not be returned
to it. Keep the bottle covered with a
paper cap or an inverted umbler, to
prevent the entranc of flies and dust,
which may carry dangerous bacteria
into the milk"
These are not all the rules, but they.
are about all within the capacity of
the ordinary human being to remem-
Der. They are rules which health au-
thorities have been drumming into
people for the last ten years without
conspicuous success. Epidemics of
various kinds still continue to occur
from the use of impure milk Now,
however, that milk has become so ex-
pensive, they are beginning to have
hope. People usually take good care
of their valuables.

WHEN THE BREAK COMES.

A warning to America has been
sounded by ]. Frank Davis of The Wig
rantes regarding the dangers which
will confront America when Germany
begins to make genuine peace over
lures. He characterizes as the most
dangerous moment for America in all
this war the time when Germany, ad-
hitting she cannot win, offers to make
peace on the basis of the status quo
ante-to go back to where things were
before she set forth so blithely upon
her great adventure.
When they get ready to admit that
they cannot win and to offer to return
to the status quo, he writes, they will
expect their enemies to accept those
terms-in effect a peace made in
Germany. And we must be prepared
for considerable movement in the
United States advocating the accept
ance of such an offer
The La Follettes, the Stones and the
pro-German newspapers will of course
be for such a peace. The hyphen-
ates and the pacifists and the towards
and all the other copperheads will be
for it. What more is there that we
should fight for?'' they will shout.
why should we take sides in anv
European quarrel over territory or in
IDENTITIES? Let the Germans return
Belgium and northern France, and
let the British and the Italians give
back the former German colonies and
the territory taken from Austria. And
let US all get together-Germany to
do her share, of course-and rebuild
the towns in France and Belgium that
have been destroyed. Let US be gem
erous."
If only the traitors and the pacifists
were for such a plan we should have
no more to worry about than we now
have to trouble US in the activities of
I. w. w. and peace councils and dis
loyal pro-German newspapers. But
they may gain an additional following
among lack-brained folk who now are
not with them.
The cry that will go up from all
the German propagandists when the
offer of a status quo peace is made
will be loud one. and thousands of
Americans who are loyal enough at
heart, but loose-thinking, may be at
tracted by it. Germany. in that hour,
may be depended upon to use every
tool at her command in this country
to throw up>dust, to obscure the issue,
to influence Americans toward a I eace
that shall leave the world as much in
peril as it was prior to August, 1914.
