Mr.. Roy Saunders received a card
from Mrs. Harry M. Handy of James

Chauncy Halves, had passed away at
the Soldiers Home, Milwaukee. The
deceased was Sc years old last Septem-
Der. He came from New York state in
the years before the civil war, and en-
listed from Edgerton, serving four
years in the army. The older folks in
the community remember him well as
jolly good companion and good work

he died March 5th and was buried with
his comrades in the soldiers cemetery.
Mr.. Menhall was home the first of

pulse of business is better; but he finds
that the stability of demand is far from

sense of security. The Highway
Trailer company is running with force
of between forty and fifty men, and by

aIilk5 Is Pasteurized
.tAll milk sold by the r obinson
company is produced in Mss.ion
and Harrison counties and IS de-
sliyered to the plant daily, stated
an Official Of the organization this
afternoon. .tAll milk sold from
this plant is produced in a. sanl-
tary way and is perfectly pasteur-
lied by modern methods.
z9 :Pasteurized milk is the ideal
food and contains the elements
that build bone al muscle in the
right proportion to one another,
the official continued. 1T has
lately been ann OUnced by. a certain
chemist and bacteriologist that
milk contains vitamines, "a growth
producing substance which is nee
essary il the diet of both old and
young.
'.Pasteurizatlon is a fact, not a
fancy. and without exception there
is no city, accustomed to the use
OF pasteuriz>d milk, that would
change to raw milk for any con-
sideration.
'Pasteurized milk is Endorsed
by the leading doctors and lnsti-
tutions Of the country. Much dan
ger from epidemics, such as scar
let fever typhoid and septic sore
throat, can be avoided by the use
of safe milk produce.
Overcome Objections
True, there are some slight OBJ
jections TO DISCRIMINATION OF milk,
but against them must be set the
fact that it is the only method that
will protect children or adults
from the pathogenic bacteria that
may be found in raw milk and
which produce bovine tuberculosis
.diphtheria and various forms OF
intestinal disturbances. Not even
certified milk is dependable
..Fairmont is Very fortunate in
having plant in the city that
deals in pasteurized milk products
exclusively.
