THE MILK SUPPLY


The first duty of every mother in
connection with the selection of the
milk used for infant feeding is to see
that the milk comes from dairy which
rigidly enforces the sanitary code. In
cities that have Health Department
this information can be quickly and
easily obtained. Should there be no
such department, personal visit to
the dairy will be instructive.
Milk coming from herd is prefer
able to that coming from one individ-
ual cow. There is less danger of get
ting milk from diseased cow and, as
a rule the milk will not vary as much
in composition.
Whenever possible, it is best to use
none but bottled milk. BY bottled
milk we refer to that bottled at the
dairy or at the distributing station, not
that bottled at the local store of
dealer. Loose or dipped" milk is
dangerous and should be avoided. The
frequent handling necessary at the
dealers exposes the milk to contami-
nation.
There has been much discussion as
to the effect of pasteurization. Most
doctors agree, however, that pasteur.
izing makes the milk absolutely safe,
at the same time causing little, if any.
change in its composition. In cities
where pasteurized milk is available, it
is to be preferred. If it is not pos
sible to obtain raw milk or if there is
any doubt as to its cleanliness, it is
safer to use high grade condensed
milk.

|BOURQUIN RULES
ON PRESCRIPTIONS
IN EMERGENCIES REQUIRING
WHISKY 1T is UP TO THE
PHYSICIAN
Sweeping Decision of Montana Fed
eral Judge Modifies V6lstead Law;
Charge Against Offending Doctor
Dismissed.

Valid ways of checking abuses
OF alcohol in the guiSe of remedies
we're painted out by Federal Judge
George NJ. Bourquin in his liquor
decision, it developed when news
papers were supplied with type
written copies.
Judge Bourquin writes his deci-
sions in long hand, disdaining the
use of a stenographer with the result
that until clerks have typed the de-
cisions the full contents are not al
ways available Immediately.
Judge Bourquin declared there are
methods of coping with the abuse of
alcohol without interference with the
rights of physicians. In this onnec
tion he said:
mo doubt congress was inspired
by consciousness of the well-known
abuse of alcohol in the guise of rem
edies. In that is justification for
reasonable regulations and the stat
utes contain them, viz, that no ply
stefan can prescribe alcohol unless
he has secured a permit from the
commissioner of the internal
and has given bond; that he shall
prescribe alcohol only in good faith
as necessary medicine, and only upon
official forms supplied by the COM
missioner, except in emergency; that
he shall keep a record thereof.
I'm addition for violation not only
is the physician subject to criminal
penalties, but the commissioner may
the permit and thus deprive
him of right to further prescribe al
cohol.
These regulations are appropriate
the prohibition of alcohol as a
beverage, are adopted to that end,
and are valid. Of them can be no
just complaint. They and their like
ought to suffice to restrain therapeu-
teal uses of alcohol within legitimate

UNCOVER HUGE BONES
OF ANCIENT MAMMAL

Massive remains of prehistoric
animals are found in the Paragon
sand pits near Miles City from which
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Pau
railroad is securing its gravel fol
roadbed work and ballasting, the
latest being the uncovering by steam
shovel at a depth of rs feet of the
front jawbones and tusk Of a nam
moth animal which has not been pre-
cisely classified as yet. The tusk is
% inches in circumference and more
than a foot long
The animal has but two teeth, each
more than six inches long and three
inches wide, with slight corruga-
lions. There are 13 rows of cutting
edges running crOSswise on each
tooth. The roots of the teeth are
several inches long and are imbedded
in the solid jawbone. 1t is evident
that the animal to which the jaw be-
longed was both a tree and grass
eater and not of the c~arnivOrous
class. 1t is believed that the animal
was caught in the later period of the
glacial age and found his last rest
ing place in the gravel bed of the
Paragon hills.
Supt. A. c. Bowen of the Mussel-
shell division of the railroad system
points out the possibility that the
gravel banks at one time in the past
might have been the edge of the yell
lowstone river.
Further north Mr.. Bowen has
found the shells of mussels which are
fully a foot and a half long, some
of which contained numerous shells
of the lesser mussels and snails.
1t is believed that the teeth con-
tanned in the jawbone of the latest
find are different from anything yet
found in the hills of the west, parti-
in the bad lands district, and
it is felt that new fields of scientific
research have been uncovered by the
discovery of the present exhibits.

Iikens Most Dramatic Incident of

1t matters not who financed the

round globe, outside of Montana, can

Finally, as night drew on, the
crowd adjourned to the big circular
dance hall, which the Indians have
built near the day school. Four men
gathered about the immense Indian
drum, and suddenly its rhythmic
throbs smote the air in a thunderous
boom-boOm, and the men lifted up
their voices in a shrill minor chant.
One by one the older Indians, res
plendent now in feather head-dress-
es, bells, rattles and all the para
phernalia of the dance, arose and be-
gan the fantastic movements of their
dance, the squaws hitching solemnly
about them in an unbroken circle,
and seeming to slide sidewise, so lit
tie movement of the feet was visible.
A few of the younger people danced
in couples, a modified and modest
version of the later dances so that
even here the passing of the old order
may be
Gifts were presented to various In
dians, gifts of money, shawls, blan-
kets, food, or whatever the giver
wished; one Indian presented these
gifts, with a sonorous speech of some
kind for each one, and the recipient,
after arising and going forward to
receive his gift, went to shake the
donors hand.
When the gifts were distributed
and the dancing had begun again we
left them. 1t was surely the end of
a perfect day for them, and certainly
for us the end of a very interesting
one.
