ciate the great food values that obtain \
in milk, and the sanitary conditions
under which it should be produced.
There is POSSIBLY no article of food
consumed by the human family that
il more naturally inclined to absorb
impurities, germ life and contamina-
tons than milk. Therefore, it is ex-
tremely important that those who are
daily users of milk should exert
every precaution to safeguard against
anything Of this nature. Physicians
long ago realized that milk was an
agent by which organisms causing
typhoid fever and tubercle bacilli
were transformed from the cow to
the consumer. They also felt that
other and less specific troubles were
due to the use of unhealthful milk,
especially by babies. AS science has
advanced and a more thorough re-
search made into the matter of Oh
tanning the purest and most healtnful
product, the result is there need be
no alarm now when you use milk
from healthful COWS, and when it has
been properly treated.
Those who use milk supplied by
the Koontz Creamery need have no
apprehension but that it is as pure
and wholesome as it is possible for
milk to be. This is the Inedium
through which all impurities are
separated, giving the consumer a
product that has been treated by the
most improved process, thus exter-
minating every particle Of bacilli or
Infectious properties. When the raw
product is brought to this establish
ment it is placed in large vat,
which Is provided with steel coils.
Steam is then turned into these pipes
until it registers heat of 145 de-
grees. Remaining in this receptacle
for nearly half-hour under this high
pressure Of steam, and until all germs
have been killed, the heat is super
ceeded by cold water, which cools the
milk in few minutes. Afterwards
! it is transferred to another large vat
where it is subjected to almost freez-
ing temperature, finally finding its
way to the bottling department where
the bottles are filled by machinery,
human hands never coming in contact
with the milk that is supplied by this
house after it has been treated by
this pasteuration process. The ma
chinery and methods employed are
the latest and most improved in the
market. Therefore, it can be seen
that it is impossible for anyone to
get impure or unhea1thful milk when
they use the products Of the Koontz
Creamery. The methods employed
are known as pasteurizing and clari
flying, universally used by the most
progressive operators, and endorsed
by physicians, who claim this to be
the on1v safe manner in which I'm 1ISn-
milk. All bottles are washed and
sterilized by steam before they are
refilled. The facilities employed by
Mr. Koontz are sufficient to handle be-
tween 1000 and 5000 gallons milk

In THE BLACK
HEART OF RUSSIA.

London, May Alive soldiers of
the 339th infantry-Detroit's. own
the first American prisoners from
Russia, just arrived here by way
Of Stockholm today, gave Universal
Service a wonder-tale of adventures
in the black heart Of mad Russia.
They were six weeks enroute from
Moscow, where they had been i'm
prisonesd, via Finland and Sweden.
They left behind John Tripler, a
Kentucky mou6fssineer, who was lost
in the crowd just Nas they were en-
training in Moscow, M J. Arnold, of
Nebraska, Y. M. c. A. worker, who
was released with them and John
Ryall, of Ohio, another "Y" worker.
Three other Americans remain bris-
oners in Moscow, together with 6S
French and English soldiers.
When interviewed at the Eagle
Hut here, the refugees wore bolshe-
visit caps and nondescript clothes.
The latter were supplied by the Brit
ish consul at Helsingfors. Their
faces were gaunt and lined with deep
burrows from months of semi-starVa'
ton But they unanimously gave this
cheerful pledge:
Were going back to get these
bolshies as soon as We get rested ano

Before giving their narrative

"Tell everybody's mother bacl

about the manufacture OF smoking to-

:. the use Of the sauces is to improve

The state papers are beginning to
express some alarm over the increase
in the number of Illicit distilleries.
The State says editorially that it has
heard that in one county there are
500 distiIleries in operation. This is
probably a case where some over
wrought CITIZEN has multiplied one
by five, but that distillieries are on
the increase in many counties is a
fact which can not be disputed. This
increase is not due so much to the
restrictions of the quart-a-nionth law
as to the excessive prices the few re-
manning liquor dealers are charging
for the vile concoctions they are
palming off on the public. Whiskey

''The bolshies treated us fine. We
never got rough word because we
