t HINTS TO MILK BUYERS. (United Press Service) > Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. I—(Spo- , dal to Daily Democrat)—Ten commandments for the milk buyer were issued today by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Indiana's food administrator. That the will save a family much sickness and much money, If ob1 served, is the promise. The suggestions follow: 1. Buy only the best milk obtainable. It is cheapest in the long run. 2. Consult the health department before selecting your milk dealer. 3. Buy only bottled milk if possl- . ble. Dipped milk is often dirty and , deficient in cream. 4. Take milk into the house as soon as it is delivered, and place it in the refrigerator Immediately. Bacteria Increase rapidly in milk ’ which stands in the sun or warms up. and such milk will sour quickly. 5. Keek milk in the original boti tie in the refrigerator until the moment of serving. Milk which has been poured from the bottle should not be returned to it. , 6. Keep the bottle covered with a paper cap or inverted tumbler to prevent the entrance of flies and dust, which may carry dangerous bacteria into the milk. 7. Keep the refrigerator clean and pweet by means of proper drainage and frequent washing with scalding water and sal soda, since milk quickly absorbs unpleasant odors and becomes less palatable. 8. Wash milk bottles as soon as emptied, by rinsing first with lukewarm water and then with hot water. If there is an infectious disease in your home, do not return any bottles except with the knowledge of the health department and under conditions which it may prescribe. 9. Return empty bottles promptly, and do not use them for anything except milk. Remember that they are the property of the dealer and represent cash. 10. Remember that clean milk, properly cared for, is one of the best foods obtainable. It is nourishing, digestible, and usually economical. —o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY Ladies wore bustles. Operations were rare. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wore white shoes. Nobody sprayed orchards. Cream was five cents a pint. Most young men had ‘‘livery bills.” Canteloupes were muskmelons. You never heard of a “tin Lizzie.” Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Advertisers did not tell the truth. Milk shake was a favorite drink. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline Farmers came to town for their mail. The hired girl drew one-fifty a week. The butcher "threw in” a chunk of liver. Folks said pneumatic tires were a joke. There were no sane Fourths nor electric meters. Strawstacks were burned instead of baled. Publishing a country newspaper was not a business. People thought English sparrows were “birds.” Jules Verne was the only convert to the submarine.—National Hotel Reporter. o CUBAN AVIATORS FOR FRANCE. Havana. Cuba, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Col. Manuel Coronado, member of the Cuban senate and editor of the newspaper La Discusion, has organized an aviation unit which will be offered to France, with complete equipment, in the near future. The “Escadrille Cubaine,” as the flying unit will be called, will probably be the first body of fighting men from Cuba to serve on French soil. Thirty-three youths, representatives of the best families of «Cuba, have volunteered to take the prescribed aviation course and individually to bear the expense • of their airplanes and equipment. l Senator Coronado has just returned, from New York, where he conferred ' with officials of the Aero Club of America and airplane manufacturers over the details of the escadrille's organization. Colonel Coronada has asked the navy department in Washington for an arrangement by which the Cuban aviators may undergo their preliminary training at the navy aviation school at Pensacola, Fla. n HONOLULU SWIMMING MEET.
