CHAPTER xxx
Bad Germ Babies

Bad Germ Babies
 Last week I told you about the good germs and how we could not live without them. I told you of the wonderrfu Nitrifying family, the Yeast family, the Saphrophytic fam fly, etc. Now you know something about these so must tell you about some of the germ family that are not good; whose growth we must prevent and avoid as much as we can.
 want to tell you especially about those harmful basteria or germs that are liable to get into our milk if our mamas can not nurse us and we have to fed milk that is really intended for cows babies, so that you will un- derstand the reasons for the neces- sity of clean milk for us.
 I get but one bottle a day Of cows milk, but my mama is just as par ticular about the milk for my one bottle as she would be if I were not living mostly on the wonderful milk that is made especially for me by my dearest.
 Because milk is just as good food for bacteria babies as 1t is for human babies, if they get into 1t those bac- teria babies thrive and grow and grow and raise very large families.
 Some of the bad-yes. very, very bad germs or microscopic plant fam lilies that can get into milk are tuber- cu1osis, typhoid, diphtheria, septic sore throat, scarlet fever, foot-and- mouth disease, diarrheal and disen- teric germs. These germs may get in the milk from some human source on the farm, or at the dairy, or in trans portation, or in our own households.
 Sometimes if the COW has tubercu- 1osis or foot-and- m outh disease or some other diseases, the milk gets the germs from the COW itself. Now you can see how very important 1t is that milk that is fed to us should come from healthy cows. and that it should be clean and fresh and handled only by healthy persons. can't you?
 Of course good milk means that the cows and milkers and all handlers must be healthy. It means that they must not have been in contact with any contagious diseases, the diseases that are caused by some of those harmful germs I mentioned. It means that all the milk pails, bottles, cans

T and everything in which the milk is
 put must be steri1ied shortly before being used. It means that milk must
 be cooled imm ediately upon leaving the COW and kept at a temperature
 not above 50 degrees F.
 Milk that is handled with this very
 special care and is taken from cows that have been tub erculin tested and
 examined by veterinary physician, so to be sure far possible they are not tubercular, is sold in most cities under the name of certified milk. Of course, the extra care taken in every way makes this the most ex- pensive milk, but I know you feel the same as my family does, that any thing that means so much in the pro tection of our lives is not too expen- sive.
 If milk is certified it will be marked on the bottle or cap. My docIor says you should not accept milk as certified unless it Is so mark ed, no matter what the dealer might say.
 This certified milk means that it is
 milk of the highest quality, obtained by cleanly methods under the special supervision of the Medical Milk Com mission. It is raw milk but this cer- tification means that everything has been done that is possible to keep it free from contamination, adulteration and disease.
 If anything should occur at the dairy which would make the milk temporarily below these standards, the Medical Milk Com mission causes
 the dealers to take the certificate off
 the bottle. If this should happen
 while you are taking the milk. it is
 best to boil the milk to sterilize it
 until the certificate is returned.

 Moscow, Oct. 12.-A trial court in England decided that Winston Churchill invented the military tank" Later there was some proof that Kitchener thought of it first. And now comes a Russian, one A. A. Porohovshtchikof claiming to have invented the tank, to have made a tank and to have operated it long be- fore the date of either British claim.
 The priority of Churchill bears the date March, 1916. The Kitchener claim is earlier-October, 1914-but his project was not realized. At the very outbreak of the war, in August, the principle of the tank was put for ward in Russia, and before the end of the year 1914 a model was made. On May IS, 1915, a trial of a com p1eted tank was made at Riga and was the subject of military. report (No. 4,563) bearing the date, June 20, 1915.
 In the Izvestia office in Moscow are two documentary proofs of this claim. One is a photograph of the tank and the other is a newspaper clipping from Novo Vremya, No. 14,572, dated Sep tember z9, 1916 quoting the military

 AND SAYS HE INVENTED WAR TANKS

report which describes the tank and it's operation.
 The military report (made June. 1915) is signed by General Kaulbars and reads as follows:
 Tt is proven that this machine, called 'Vezdehod' CGoing Every whereD, goes over deep sand at the rate of 25 versts an hour. At the average rate of speed it has crossed ravine three metres wide, one and one-fourth metres deep and with sides sloping at an angle of 10 degrees. All considerable roughness of territory 1t took at full speed. Its turning about was highly satisfactory. Tn general it could travel on roads where ordinary autos could not go." The report fur ther states: 'In view of our lack of technical means the project was sent to England"
 Porohovshtchikoff was the owner of an experimental laboratory and had previously made some inven- tions in aviation. In his initial pro posal to make a machine which could go without roads he offered two variants, one with one chain and one with two. It is stated that his trial tank contained all the parts now found in the best kind of tank.

HEALTHY TEETH.

It has been long time since we have talked about teeth in this space. They are perhaps not a pleasant sub ject of conversation, yet it is import ant to know something about them and it is most important to be con- vinced of the necessity of scrupulous care.
 If, from early childhood, the teeth are brushed twice a day and a den- tist is visited twice a year the teeth should be very healthy and beautt- full into a very advanced age. Tooth aches and gum troubles should be unknown, not only this but a sweet and well formed mouth, good diges- ton, and a result good complex ion should follow. Therefore vanity alone should make us all most careful of our teeth. That we are not is prov ed by the number of prosperous den lists.
 Perhaps I should not bother my readers with all this advice, we all know 1t though we do not all heed it. I would rather make a suggestion for strengthening weak teeth and inn proving the health of ailing ones. If you follow my suggestion you may not feel the benefit for year, but af- ter that you will feel it all your life. It is simply this. Include a certain per cent, of coarse-grained food in yotIr daily diet, things that are diff cult to chew This exercises and strengthens the teeth. And, like any other part of the body, they respond to exercise.
 For instance discard white bread entirely and eat whole wheat. Fine white bread is responsible for a de- pressing amount of tooth decay be- cause 1t forms gas in the stomach and increases the amount of fermentation In the mouth. The coarse particles
