KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
This PreeautIon Should Be Observed
Throughout Year, but Especially
In Warm Weather.

Utensils that come in contact with
milk or cream must be kept perfectly
clean. This precaution should be OBJ
served throughout the year, but espe-
ciaIly during the warm weather, says
the University OF Missouri College Of
Agriculture. Wash them By first rims
ing In cold water and then By using hot
water and brush. Washing powder
suitable for use In the dairy should
contain no grease. Ordinary sal-soda
used In small amounts Is good dairy
cleanser. After washing the utensils
with hot water, rinse thoroughly with
boiling water and place them where
they Will come In contact with the d.
rect rays Of the sun. This place should
be free from flies.
In washing the large milk cans, be
sure that the inside Of the shoulder OF
the can Is rubbed with the brush, as
this is the most difficult part to clean.

GERMAN OFFICERS
MUST STAND TRIAL
ENGLAND, FRANCE AND BEL
GUM TO ExTRADITE Accus-
ED OFFICIALS.

Paris.-England. France and Bel
GUM are preparing lists of hundreds
of German army officers, whom they
will ask OF be extradited and tried
for committing crimes against recogv
Eized rules of war.
The English navy has made up lists
Of the submarine commanders who
1orpedoed merchantmen and hospital
ships at sea and in English ports.
The English will also demand GER
tain Zeppelin and airplane pilots who
bombed London.
France will demand numerous Ger
man aviators who plotted Gothas
over Paris and bombed the city last
year.
The French also will demand extra
0ition and trial Of those responsible
for the long range bombardment Of
Paris by big Berthas."
Il is believed those guilty may in
clude the leading Krupp engineers
who manufactured the cannon. as
well as the artillery officer who fired
the pieces.
Belgium wants the German officers
who acted as town mayors In the OF.
cupied zone during the war, and were
responsible for the deportations and
cnleltics.
All viii join in demanding Justice
against the German doctors who let
prisoners die without attention. and
against the cruel German guards who
mistreated prisoners Of war.
1t Is reported hat the United
States WIN not demand that any Ger
mans be brought to justice. although
America must join the allies In de-
manding the extradition of the for
mer kaiser.
