should be done quickly and thoroughly

After each cows milk is drawn It

that he Is handling a human food

Soap, clean water. and towels must
be readily accessible and the hands
should be washed after milking each

clean milking stool will do much to
prevent soiling the hands.

BY ARTHUR JOYCE

Here's good news for Tabernacle vis-
itors:
After next Sunday night there will
be no more collections at any Of the
revival services. The money neces-
sary to meet the $4,000 deficit in the
$4,000 expense fund will be collected
by that time and the tin pans will
be turned over to a junk man.
Announcement to this affect was
made at last nights meeting by John
c. Let's, treasurer OF the Washington
campaign committee. If the Taber-
nacle audiences will drop into the pans
an aggregate of s., 900 eacn night unta
Sunday. the sum needed will have
been obtained. since the committee
has decided to drop into the kitty"
at each of the evening meetings, Q

There were several hundred boy
scouts in the audience and every one
of them ''hit the trail' at the close

DR.. BAKER ADVISES
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

DR.. J. Newton Baker addressed the
Cosmos Club last night on the neces-
sity OF Americans investing in war
savings stamps.
After stating that the present war
was but the natural result of the
spirit of conquest that the Hohen-
zollern dynasty have been developing
for the last two centuries, DR.. Baker
emphasized the fact that an invest
ment in war savings or thrift stamps
means an immediate increase in the
equipment of American troops.
In conclusion DR.. Baker mentioned
the marvellous rate at which the gov
erning savings stamps were selling
and urged everyone to make a prac-
tce of buying these stamps every
week, to the limit of his resources.
