SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-


WHETHER an infant is breast
w fed from the start, or is
bottle-fed, the time arrives inevit-
ably when the question of the
purity of the milk supply becomes
paramount.
First of all the milk should
come from healthy cows. In
large centers this is taken care
of by the local health boards.
Often, however, a family feels
that to own its own cow is safer
in the end. But that is danger
Gus practice.
A privately owned cow is not
so likely to enjoy the latest
sanitary surroundings as are the
cows belonging TO supervised
dairy. Furthermore, mixed milk.
taken from several cows, is much
to be- preferred to milk taken
from a single COW since the con.
stituents of the milk-proteins,
fats, sugars, etc.-vary less. in
the former from day to day.
The freshness of the milk de-
pends largely upon the season of
the year and on the way the milk
is handled.
Ordinarily, milk, which,, in win
ter, is older than forty-eight hours
should not be used for infants.
During the summer months there
is danger of using milk after it
is twenty-four hours old.
1t must be emphasized that the
handling OF the milk is OF prime
Importance in any case.
Be sure, therefore, where your
milk supply comes from. Not
only should the cows, stables and
the mixers be as clean as clean
can be, in order to avoid germ
and dirt contamination as much
as possible, but the methods of
transportation of the milk should
be Investigated.
Milk should be transported in
sealed containers. All vessels and
utensils with which the milk
comes into contact should be
sterilized.
1t is best to buy milk that
bears some official seal that it is
certified. That means that the
utmost sanitary care has been
taken.
When milk is obtained fresh
from the cows it should be cooled
at once down to below so de-
grees Fahrenheit and kept below
that temperature.
When bottled milk is received it
should at once he cooled, as the
temperature of the milk is likely
to rise during transportation.
Loose milk-that is, unbottled
milk-should never be used for
babies if bottled milk can be OBJ
tained. IL, however, it must be
used, it should be poured at once
into bottles sterilized with boiling
water and promptly and securely
stoppered.
Rich milk, as for example from
Jersey cows, is not so good for
infants as milk obtained from or
dinary herd cows. There are
many mothers who believe the op-
posite to be the case, however.
Rich milk contains too much fat
for the delicate digestive apparatus
of the very young to handle.
Vacuum bottles are useful i'm
keeping milk cold when travelling.
They should not be employed,
however, in keeping the baby's
milk warm for the night feelings.
Prolonged Increased temperature
may upset the child markedly.
. You cannot be too careful about
the baby's milk,

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

The New Eve-and the Old Adam
No doubt even Eve Dragged that
she had married the man of her
choice" instead of admitting that
her husband was just something
that Fate had wished on her!
Love is like diphtheria. Once
you have had a genuine hard
case of it, you are immune to all
the lighter varieties, and not per-
turbed by any little cardiac flut-
ters or spring fever symptoms.
A diplomat is man who knows
how to get his wife to "advise"
him to do what he wants to do,
SO that he can have somebody to
blame IL it turns out wrong.
To most single men, love looks
like q dangerous quicksand,
which first entangles a mans
feet, then paralyzes his will and
finally drags him down into mat
rimonial oblivion.
A fatalist is al man who tries
to see how fast his car CAN go
or a woman who tests her hus-
bands love by introducing him to
a blonde vamp or letting him
choose his own trained nurse.
Marriage is the point at which
a man stops guiding you through
the traffic and begins showing
you through.
Hope springs eternal in the
human breast" Which is the
reason for plastic surgery, beauty
creams, reducing diets and most
May-and. December marriages.
Perhaps the modern girl is not
looking for a perfect man. She
seems to be satisfied to find one
good enough to last, until a bet
ter one turns up.
Few lovers are more tickle than
the great American Public. Lucky
the idols from whom it merely
turns away-and yawns.
Next to a stale cream-puff or a
woman chaser's love-making, there
is nothing so hollow and unsatis-
flying as fame.
