Dr. Eugene H. Porter, state commissioner of health. New York, in discussing the “Care of Milk," declared that cholera infantum is dependent almost entirely upon feeding upon impure milk, and that the municipality must do what the individual mother cannot do, see that the milk that she purchases for the child is fit to be

used for food.

Dr. Porter embodies the contents ot the circular of the New A’ork City Sanitary Milk Dealers' association, recently issued, in which advice te given to the consumers of milk, and supplements it with some further recom-

mendations. He says:

“Where a house is located in an Isolated district it is not always possible to procure ice, so that even a makeshift refrigerator cannot be used. II this be the case, the milk may be kept fairly well by taking an ordinary butter or lard tub and putting into the bottom of it a three-inch layer of sawdust. Upon the sawdust rest a stoneware jar or crock, and surround this by sawdust. Put the milk bottles In the jar and pour into the latter sufficient water to Just cover the bottles. Cover the whole with a sawdust or hay-stuffed cushion large enough to fit into the tub over the jar. The tub should be kept in the coolest place to be found, and if the above directions are carefully carried out, the temperature of the milk will seldom get more than one degree warmer than the water in the

Jar-

Milk bottled on the farm and kept in a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit is far preferable to "dip milk," which is subject to contamination each time the can is opened, the commissioner contends. He advises that if "dip milk" is used that it be put into an absolutely clean receptacle, kept cool and free from flies and dust. He urges cleanliness in the bottling and other handling of milk at all times. He says regarding flies in milk: “The mother who has learned that the common house fly Is a carrier of disease would no sooner give her infant milk into which a fly has fallen than she would give It poison. When a fly alights In milk there is no way of telling whether or not its last, resting place was on the slops from a sickroom or on a putrefying carcass, and the only safe way Is to discard that milk or hcv It to the boiling point before using It.” The nursing bottle is another menace and Dr. Porter makes these recommendations "Use only round bottles with round bottoms. Do not use rubber tubing; it is impossible to keep it clean. Get the simplest, most easily washed nipple obtainable. After feeding, rinse

It is said that the above plaintiff is the widow of Dr Charles H C.

Obituary. Edmond T. Mercer was born July 30th, 1839 in the State of Kentucky. He departed this life August 15th, 1911, at the age of 72 years and 15 days. During the dark days of the Rebellion he answered the Nation’s call and volunteered and served as a soldier in defense of his country until honorably discharged. He came to the Indiana in 1871 and was united in marriage to Rebecca Morland on the 19th day of December, 1872. They lived a happy and peaceful life together until death separated them, covering a period of 29 years. About 25 years ago he united with the Regular Baptist church at Friendship and has lived a devoted Christian life until death. Twenty years ago he and his good wife took a fatherless girl, Anna Shields, to raise They raised and cared for her as if she had been their own child until she was married to Mr. Walter Rogers. In a few years he died and them they took two of their children, Idle and Sylvian, to raise, both being with him at the time of his death. Mr. Mercer was a good neighbor and a loving and faithful husband. He leaves a wife, two brothers, two sisters an<V a host of relatives and friends to mourn his lost. Such is the short history of thg life of Edmond Mercer.

Scrub well with a wire brush, rinse several times, then scald, and either Invert In the sunlight where the air Is free from dust, or fill with hot water and add a pinch of baking soda, and i let stand until the next feeding; then ^ rinse again thoronghly with hot water before pouring out the milk Never let a nursing bottle stand unwashed or with the remains of a feeding in it; it is very difficult to make such a bottle clean from the strict sanitary

standpoint.”

In conclusion Dr. Porter says: “These precautions may seem to be unnecessary. Our mothers never observed them and we are alive to tell

the tale.

“The answer to this is that while we survived, the general infant mortality at that time was greater than it is now, and statistics show that care In infant feeding is the greatest factor in reducing the mortality. Even now the death rate among bottle-fed babies is twenty-five times as great as it Is among breast-fed infants.”

The Use of Perfume TO THE GIRL of fastidious taste the strong and blatant use of perfumes Is objectionable. And men are even violent in their denuncia tion. Yet there is nothing sweetei than a dainty girl, unless It Is a dainty baby. It is not the use. hut the abuse, of perfumes and sachets that is objectionable. The girl who wishes to guard against this should remembei that all she wants is to have bet clothing tinged with a breath of a delicate odor, which is never detected unless one is quite close. To accomplish this, one should be careful In bestowing sachets about the clothing. They should always be cut to flt the place where they are tc go. Sometimes they are In the shav* of rose petals to flt the artlflc’*! roses which one wears In bodice ot hair, or they are made long and thin, to be worn underneath a dog collat which clasps the neck.
