RAW Milk and CREAM

Boiled milk is easier digested
by babies than either raw or
pasteurized milk, and most Of
the digestive troubles of bottle
fed children are due to an
tiquated IDEAS by unprogres-
sive physicians, regarding the
alleged value of raw milk.
Milk labeled "pasteurized"
may not be properly pas
teurtzed. Washington has no
law which controls dairies.
To protect children. invalids
and those who :. are in a run
down condition against milk in
fections. raw milk and cream
should be avoided.
Many outbreaks of typhoid,
scarlet fever. diphtheria, sep
: tic sore throat. etc, have been
caused by raw milk. even by the
special or certified kind.

information of new suspect. Sheriff

The last suspect Of scores arrested
by the police is Lewis Randall. who
was arrested during the week after
putting up a desperate fight with
