talk to you tonight to scare you re-
garding the use of milk. Its use
should not be curtailed but on the
other hand it should be used more
freely especially for children. 1t is a
complete food with vitimin contents
compounded by a supreme Deity for
the express purpose of growth and
development. consequently it goes
without saying that there is no sub
stitute just as good.
My plea is that you make sure that
the milk supply you use is pure. clean
and free from. disease germs. Ask
your milkman if his cows have been
tuberculin tested within a year. Visit
his premises and see for yourself
whether his cattle, stable and milk
room are clean and his milking uten-
sis carefully washed. Your inspection
will do more good than any l can
make or cause to be made because
you are one of his customers. If he
knows his business and lis trying to
do what is right he will be glad to
see you. Ii he gives you the cold
shoulder. look over the herd of some
other milkman and find one that is
right, then buy that milk. After that
YOU will feel like using milk freely
in Your family, especially if you have
children,

Many fine things about the school

their fondness for their alma mater;
the spirit of helpfulness of the stu

large number of volunteers for the
work of cleaning the statuary at the
school building: the many instances
of parental interest and cooperation:
the fine standing of Cony throughout
the State and of Cony students in the

Portland Pastor
Plans to Establish
First radio Parish"

Portland, April 13.-What is believ-
ed to be the first radio parish" in the
world has been instituted in this city
through station WCSIi, the Congress
Square Hotel, by the Rev. Howard O.
Hough, who is retiring as pastor of
the Advent Christian church in the
Immediate future. Many churches and
religious organizations in various
parts of the country and abroad have
utilized broadcasting facilities for
wider spread of their doctrines and
messages, and many ministers of va
rlous creeds have addressed unknown
thousands ION the air. The radio
parish now part of the weekly
broadcasting at WCSH, however, is
different.
The pastor in charge. Mr. Hough. is
to devote his entire time to his radio
parish and his Pensioners. He be-
lieves that real need can be filled in
ministering to such a coIlgi egation,
even though for the most part they
will forever remain unseen. The time
of the average clergyman occupying
pulpit and preaching simultaneously
or at stated times to a radio audience
is mostly taken with the duties of his
own church and parishioners, and such
time as he may devote to interests
apart from his personal contact must
of necessity be limited.
That there is a vast field to be
reached in radio parish is conceded
by many interested persons approach
ed by Rev. Mr.. Hough in his prelim
nary survey of the work he desires to
undertake. The great volume of let
tiers received by patrons of his pre-
vious radio services indicate that there
is sincere interest in this type of
ministry. These letters, he believes,
call for more than casual acknowl-
edgment. Letters of counsel, of SYM
pathy, and encoura cement. should be
sent in scores of cases. The sending
of helpful religious literature of an
nterdenominational character would
also seem advisable.
Obviously, the radio parish must be
strictly non-secrarian and built on
thoroughly spiritual lines. Experience
of Mr. Hough in the past several
months has convinced him, and those
who are interested in his new project,
that such services are of great spirit
ual value and comfort to a very wide
circle of persons; particularly have
they been a comfort, help and inspira-
ton to innumerable shut-ins. invalide
and residents of isolated sections.

Dangers of Bovine
tuberculosis Subject
Health Talk, Portland
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

especial 10 kenneDeC JOurndl)
Portland, April 13.-"Bovine Tuber-
culosis in Relation to Public Health"
was the subject of an interesting talk
broadcast from station WCSH this
evening by Herbert NJ. Tucker. chief
of the division of animal industry III
this State. Mr.. Tucker discussed the
health talks given from this station
during the past few months and
showed how bovine tuberculosis af-
fected the human race. Mr.. Tucker
said in part:
In recent years. great deal of
thorough investigation has been
made on this subject by very few
eminent physicians engaged in re-
search work. The most reliable and
far-reaching has been the work of
DIR. H. w. Park of the New York
Board of Health. OF 1858 cases of
tuberculosis in children under five
years of age that he investigated, 70
or practically 20 per cent were of
bovine origin. He proved this by in
oculatins Guinea pigs and breeding
tubercle bacillus of true bovine type.
Outside of laboratory and scientific
investigation we find numerous cases
which prove that children are very
susceptible to bovine tuberculosis
when they drink milk containing the
germs.
