HE House Civil Committee has favoraby reported
its bill for sensible and fair amendments to the civil
service retirement law similar bill has been favoraby

Il Is evidently intended to give this proper legislation

would have better had favorable reports been made
1larler.
This House committee Of which Representative Lehlbach
chairman still has before it the WEIGH and others bills for
increased pay for underpaid Federal employees.
the committee delays action much longer Congress VIII

delay would appear be for the purpose Of killing the

Government workers with the elections coming on and their

The gathering Of may be ell right to most
measures Little data needed to this salary raise

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

YOUR milk, the milk that you
4 buy, may be lean and pure.
am sure that, as q result of
the agitation that has been car
ried on by the medical profession
for the last fifteen or twenty
years, the milk supplied to all
well regulated cities is much i'm
proved and, in many instances, Is
reliably safe. This, however. is
far from being . 100 per cent
condition.
You have right to insist upon
three things, namely.
First: That your milk shall be
kept clean at It's source.
Second: That it shall be kept
clean in transit.
Third: That 1t shall be kept
free from deleterious chemical
change without the addition Of
preservatives.
If these three requirements are
met the larger part, but not all,
of the milk question will be
solved. The matter of germ con-
tamination remains as the chief
perplexing problem. Today, how
ever, I wish to say something
about just plain, common filth,
leaving some thoughts on the
germ question until tomorrow.
The efforts which are spent in
the attempt to clean milk which
has been dirtied are being wasted
along entirely wrong lines. Milk
as the calf receives 1t from the
udder Of a healthy COW is almost
sterile. AS the public often re-
ceives 1t, it is an organic fluid
dirty beyond Imagination, and
only the fact that it is Opaque
saves it from being instantly con-
demned. If we could see the dirt
in our milk We would never
Dirts gets into milk from the
cowshed, the worker and the
utensils; not necessarily from the
cow herself. In the shed, however,
she has little opportunity of keep
ing herself clean; she has so little
space that she cannot help get
ting dirty. When cows are
groomed, innumerable microbes
are thrown into the air of the
shed. and the washing and drying
of the cows udder and flanks, if
1t is done at all, is usually a
futile proceeding. Dairy workers
come from class that are not
particularly clean themselves and
can hardly be expected to keep
the animals any cleaner.
Except in the very largest
farms, dairy hands have to do
many other things besides handle
milk. They have to fed the cows
and clean the utensils, stalls and
passages; work which soils their
clothes, hands and arms. We
know how long it takes us to
clean our hands with soap, hot
water and a brush. The horny
hands of the manual laborer are
still more difficult to clean and
it is almost too much to expect
of men and women reused from
sIeep early on a winter morning,
that they should wash Themselves
deliberately before they milk the
COWS.

By ALFRED KNUFsoN.

The problem Of reaching the eX-
plotted masses on the farms with
the propaganda and program of the
Workers (Communist) Party is be-
fore US. Out of the 100000
farmers and farm workers in Amer
lea, easily half are now susceptible
to our propaganda and are becom-
ing more and more so as the
capitalist system is eXpror rating
the farmer, reducing him to a ten
ant or farm worker, or driving him
off the farm altogether and fore
ing him to attempt to take up ems
pioyment in the already overcrowd-
ed industrial cities.
Our Party has not yet scratched
the surface in this field. Greater
energies must be put forth to or
ganize the exploited, the poor farm
ers into our Party. This task is no
snap by any means, but we must
tackle this big job in the biggest
way possible. The entire Party
must be aroused to the need and i'm
portance of this work. | feel that
the coming election campaign offers
our Party great opportunities to in
terest the poor farmers in our farm
program and in organizing them
into our Party.
Important Conference Held.
On March 8-9 at Bismarck, N. D.,
conference of Party members was
held for the purpose of devising
ways and means and laying plans
for carrying on the Party work in
ths farming territory. Because Of

was pointed out. 1t was shown that
an energetic campaign must be
launched against the destructive
work of the "progressives" in the
old parties, and that we do all we
can to educate the farmer away
from the philosophy of the pro
gressives" and the third partyites."
AS practical means of accom-
plishing these tasks it was decided
to increase the Party membership
in the Dakotas and Montana to at
least 500 during the election cam
paign.
Another thing Of Importance de-
cided upon was to push the organ
ization of units Of the United Farm
ers' Educational League, build up To-
Gals of the League ii other farm or
CARNATIONS and place it upon reg
ular membership basis by the pay
mcnt of a fee Of SIS per year which
also includes subscription to the
United Farmer for the same period.
Cooperatives Among Farmers.
Considerable attention was given
the cooperative work among the
farmers and a committee Of com
rades was selected to attend to this
work in both a practical and theor-
etical way, the aim being to make
of the cooperatives instruments Of
the class struggle.
Bismarck, North Dakota, is being
used as center for the cooperative
activities in the Dakotas and Mon
tana and the work is already under
way, one comrade now using his en-
tire time to the organization of co..
operatives in this district.
