PAPER MILK BOTTLES TRIED AND APPROVED

Are Pronounced Antiseptic and Sterile by Dairyfen and Health Officials. Paper milk bottles are now taking the place of glass-bottles. The paper bottle is made of chemically pure white sulphite paper of the best quality and is paraffined after it is shaped. It is conical, with the toy pressed together and closed a positive metal seal which makes it impossible to tamper with the container yr open it without destroying the package for further use. No glue or other injurious adhesive material enters into its manufacture. The bottle is made of two pieces of paper. One circular piece forms the bottom, the other one is a guadrilateral piece which forms a cone. This cone is sealed or fastened with a metal slip running the full length of the bottle. The paraffin bath thru which the bottle passes after it hks been made is kept at a constant temperature of 218 degrees Fahrenheit, which insures its being antiseptic and sterile. The objection advanced by many housewives that they are unable to see the cream line on the milk thru the single service bottles heretofore tried out is overcome in this package, as it is translucent, and the cream line is plainly visible. Regarding the need of a single service container for milk a member of a board of health said: "Milk should long ago have ben delivered in a single service package. The milk bottles, which go house to house, unquestionably spread disease. Tho every bottle may be washed before filling again, all are washed in the same water and with the same brush, my judgment the paper bottle has a valid excuse for being.” The paper milk bottle has been tried by one of the large metropolitan dairies, which, after putting out more than 30,000 of the containers, reports that the /esult is satisfactory.
