Protecting Infants and Invalids

7 BEALIZING the importance of absolutely pure milk in the diet of infants and invalids jnd medical societies in many of the larger cities of the United States have arranged to provide milk produced under strict sanitary conditions. This milk is sold to consumers under a certificate from the medical society guaranteeing its purity and wholesomeness. In Chicago, for instance, a commission of the Cook County Medical society has supervision over all dairies where certified milk is produced. It is purely philanthropic in its aims, working without compensation or hope of reward other than maintaining human health and saving the lives of helpless babes. This commission favors all agencies which aim to give the public a safe and healthful milk supply. It is especially concerned in guaranteeing a limited supply of milk for the use of infants, invalids and convalescents. The commission holds that milk is pure only when it is kept pure at every stage from the time it is drawn from the cow until it is used as human food. The commission holds that contaminated milk cannot be rendered pure by artificial processes and that while such “Processed Milk” may be useful for general commercial purposes it is not suitable as food for infants or invalids. Only healthy cows are used to produce certified milk. These are tested with tuberculin by United States government veterinarians and passed as healthy before the milk is certified by the commission. When any cow in a herd furnishing certified milk is found diseased she must be immediately removed from the farm. All dairy barns must be sanitary in construction, with special regards to light, ventilation, general cleanliness, and water. All milk is required to have a definite percentage of cream each day, a variation of only one-half of one per cent, being allowed. Certified milk must be free from all disease germs and not contain over ten-thousand non-pathogenic germs (not producing disease) in each drop. Commercial milk often has as high as one million germs in each drop. Only healthy employes are permitted to work on farms producing certified milk. They must observe the

\ highest degree of personal cleanliness \at all times. When employed in milking they- must wear clean white duck euits. Utensils used in handling certified milk must be kept scrupulously fclean and sterilized before using. Milk is cooled to 45 degrees or lower immediately after milking, rbottled in sterilized bottles, which are then sealed and packed in ice within twenty minutes after milking. The milk is kept packed in ice until delivered at the customer’s house. Certified milk means the best and cleanest raw milk on the market. It Is always clean at all stages. It is' never a dirty milk which has been processed. It is a patural raw milk, not a ccoked milk. No matter how carefully milk is handled between the farm and the home, or in how pure a state it is delivered at the domestic ice box, it quickly can become an undesirable food if carelessly handled in the home, according to the specialists of the United States . department of agriculture. Milk that is left for only a short time in summer heat may become unfit for use. Milk will quickly become contaminated when exposed to the air, or when placedjfn unclean vessels. Though some bacteria are always present, even in the best grades of fresh milk, they are generally harmless provided their numbers are small and they are not of the disease producing type; but milk must be kept cool to prevent the bacteria already in it, and which may get in it by accident, from multiplying to a point where the milk is undesirable. Producers and dealers have done their duty if they nave left at the door

As to Nerve. Talk about the veakness of modern nerves doesn’t square with facts. We of today are more sensitive to pain than were our ancestors. We even shudder at the pain of others, which is something that our forefathers were able to endure with equanimity, and after with pleasure. But when it comes To withstanding a seven-day-in-the-week assault on human nerveends, our ancestors were neuraesthenic children compared to ourselves. Back in the middle ages people had

India's Religion. P. C. Banerjee, a Hindoo student In the London School of Economics, writing in the London Everyman, gives some information regarding In- , dia. He says that the assertion that the educated classes in India have i lost all faith in their ancient religion is sufficiently disproved by the fact that all the attempts of the Christian missionaries for a century have resulted tn one convert in a thousand among educated Indians. He says that, vrtille religious prejudice exists

a bottle of clean, cold, unadulterated milk, free from the bacteria which cause disease. The consumer must then do his part, if ha wants clean, wholesome milk for himself and his family. Milk should be taken Into the house and put in the refrigerator as soon after delivery as possible. This is particularly necessary in hot weather. If it is impossible to have the bottles of milk put immediately in the refrigerator, provide on the porch a box containing a lump of ice. In planning a house, arrange to have the refrigerator set in the wall with an opening on the outside. It is always possible to provide locks for these boxes br refrigerator doors, and supply the milkman with one key. The interior of the food compartment should be wiped every day with a clean cloth, and thoroughly scalded as often as once a week. Under no circumstances should the drain pipe of an icebox be connected with a sewer. The milk should be kept in the original bottle, and the bottle' left in the refrigerator until needed. Before use.

the neck of the bottle and the cap should be washed and then carefully wiped with a clean cjoth before the cap is removed. Remove the cap with a sharp-pointed instrument, so as not to push the cap down into the milk. Once a bottle is opened, it should be kept covered, both to keep out dirt and bacteria and to prevent absorption or undesirable odors. The original cap should not be replaced. Instead, place an inverted cup or tumbler on the top of the bottle. The milk should be used from the bottle as needed and any unused milk should not be returned to the bottle after having been poured into another vessel. Do not let milk

stand in a warm room on the table any longer than is necessary. Do not place milk in a refrigerator compartment with onions or other food having a strong odor. Before returning the botles to the milkman, wash them first in cold water and then in warm water. Do not use milk bottles for holding vinegar, kerosene or* other substances than milk. Never fake milk bottles into a sick room, because infectious diseases can be spread through a milk bottle returned to the farm and delivered to some other home. This is a civic duty that everyone owes to his neighbors. If there is a case of typhoid fever, or other serious communicable disease in the house, the fairest thing to do for one’s neighbor is to provide one’s own

If bottles are left ir such a home, the milkman should n<x be allowed to collect them again until they have been properly disinfected by the board of health. At any rate, if there is a serious sickness in the home all milk bottles should be boiled before being sent out of the house. Milk dipped from a can or drawn from the faucet of a can may be a source of danger, and should be avoided where it is posible to get bottles of milk. The air of city streets and houses is laden with dust and bacteria,

• and frequently particles of filth. Even if the milk is clean in the milkman's ■ receptacle, the repouring of it into an ■ I open vessel or pitcher for the customer gives an excellent chance for floating disease germs to get into the milk. 1 In stores where dipped milk is sold. ■ filthy conditions often prevail, and milk is frequently handled most care1 lessly. Clerks and even customers at 1 times frequently drink out of the milk dapper. It is dangerous to give such milk to children and invalids, and at best it is not a clean food. Milk drawn from the faucet of a milk dealer's can, while not exposed to the air so long as dipped milk, also has the disadvantage of not being thoroughly mixed. Some consumers therefore receive less than their share of cream. If bottled milk cannot be obtained, try to have the milk delivered personally to some member of the family, and receive it in a scalded covered vessel that'has not been exposed to the air of a room or street. Otherwise o set out a scalded covered dish or bowl, of a glass preserving jar with a glass top without a rubber band. In no case should an uncovered vessel be used. Milk should be taken into the house immediately on delivery, or if this is impossible, it should be placed in an outside refrigerator, or the outside door of the refrigerator in the house, if its ice box opens to the outside. Cleanliness in the handling of milk is as necessary in the home as in the production of milk on the farm. Milk must be kept at low temperature at all times, to prevent growth of bacteria and subsequent souring. It should be kept in closed vesesls as far as possible. The consumer should insist on having bottled milk delivered, and if this is impossible should at least see that the milk after delivery suffers no additional contamination. Task of Separation. How important loom the thousand and one things that fill the daily life, yet how trivial is the bulk of them!

On account Os his wide experience is Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he te, without doubt, the highest authority i jn all these subjects. Address all Inquiries Ito William A. Radford, No. 178 West fackson boulevard. Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. For economy in space and careful J planning of the rooms to utilize the • last inch to advantage, the house design here shown is exceptionally good. [lt is that of a medium-sized squarebuilt house, 24 by 30 feet in ground plan. These dimensions may seem rather small to work into seven rooms, besides a good bathroom, plenty of closets, and a good lower hall with an I open stairway. Yet these rooms are ■ as large as the average rooms in new i houses, as houses go at the present time; and they are a good deal | larger than some. Years ago, rooms were larger; but that was when build- | ing material and labor were very ! much cheaper than they are now. A builder can almost tell the age of a house by the size of the rooms. But there are other contributing causes. One is that we understand building better, and it is not necessary to build so large to get the same amount of comfort. As one lady expressed it, “I have learned to like my small kitchen; there are places for everything, and I do not have to walk so much.” k, We have learned how to ventilate houses so that the atr in small rooms in new houses is better than the air in large booms in houses built 20 or 30 years ago. One reason for better vehtllation is that houses now are set up well from the ground. It is a rare thing to see a new house less

M ft !

than three feet above grade, and many of them are more than four feet up. There was a time when cellars were confined to one corner of the house, and they were often dark, damp, dingy affairs. Modern houses, however, practically all have cellars the full size of the house, divided into compartments—one for the furnace, one for coaF and one for the storage of fruit and vegetables. A furnace In the cellar is in itself a splendid ventilator; it keeps the cellar dry and warm, and the heat from it will force ventilation. Then, the circulation of air in the pipes and through the registers carries the warm circulating medium to every corner in the building. Nine out of ten of the smaller houses probably are heated by means of a hot-air furnace, and there is no betjl Z/pr/lc 'ROOM I A*4Z.Z. R= j' First Floor Plan. ter heating apparatus for a house of this size. Another improvement in the modern house is in making larger chimneys and putting more flues in them. There is a constant current of air going up through the chimney. If a flue is built right, it works night and day, purifying the air in the house. It does not make any noise, and we are likely to forget that it is there; but the work goes on whether we know it and appreciate the fact or not. Thousands of people owe their lives unknowingly to just such protection. I know families who habitually sleep with the windows all down tight. You may pass their houses at any time of day or night, and never see a window open. They trust in Providence to supply fresh air, and they never know whether the order Is properly filled or not. It is a great thing to have confidence in somebody or something. You can even enjoy eating sausage and mince pies if you have sufficient confidence in the maker. The general appearance of this house Is inclined to plainness; but across the front it is relieved by a. good veranda that especially fits the general design. It is, however, better to build plain and neat than to

t attach too many ornaments. There is something about a plain, neat house, if well proportioned, that you never get tired of. Fancy balconies and oddshaped roofs look well when they are new, but such things seldom wear well. For steady diet, there is nothing so satisfying as plain bread and butter, meat and potatoes. A little cake and a few candies may be all right byway of variety, but you cannot live on such things. You build a good, solid, plain, square house that is light, airy, well ventilated, and F”"lv T'/AZ I //•o' cZciSSCXOi IS 155777 ZfDOAf ■ Z 552? KOO/? n //-&'■ j Second Floor Plan. easily heated, and you have something to be satisfied with as long as you live. But you let some architect coax you into building some fancy gothic arrangement, or add a lot of gewgaws to an otherwise sensible plan, and you will have a job of alterations on your hands before many years. A study of the rooms in the present design will convince anyone that this plan offers a good deal of comfort for

the amount of money the house will cost. Commencing with the front hall, there is a good-looking open stair , lighted both from the top and the bottom —a feature that you do not always meet with. Then there is a closet for coats, and room behind this and under the main stair for an en- f trance to the cellar from the kitchen- There is a good hall —big enough without using up a whole lot of unnecessary space. The living room and dining room > are supposed to occupy the south or ' west side of the house, which is the 1 sunny side, as these rooms are used the most. When it comes to the kitchen and pantry, with a back porch entrance, the arrangement is good and . pretty handy. Ido not advocate put- • ting the kitchen on the north side of the house, because I think a kitchen should be as bright and cheerful as any other room; but on the other hand, a northern or eastern room is cooler than one facing the south or west, and you have too much heat in the kitchen anyway. it is impossible to have everything i just exactly right; but taking thia house on the whole, the plan is a good one, and it is not very expensive. With careful maangement it may be built in most towns for about 52,000, complete with piping for gas and with electric wiring. An exceptionally good manager might get the furnace put in, and still keep the price within \52,000.’ Measuring a Plant’s Drink. When we cut flowers we put them in water to keep them fresh. Like human beings, they can exist for long periods on water alone, as the liquid forms a considerable portion of their bulk. The drinking capabilities plants vary a great deal, and at a recent scientific exhibition held at Surbiton, England, some ingenious de vices were shown to register the different actions of plant life. The apparatus consists of a twin glass tube with a colled formation at its base. The flower is placed through a cork into the water in the upper end of the branch tube, and the lower end, which is Inserted in a vessel filled with water, is lifted out and replaced, thus allowing an air bubble to enter the tube. As the plant drinks the water bubble is forced along the coiled glass tube as fresh water enters behind it, and the amount taken by the flower is, of course, the quantity behind the air lobe. Plants Use Poison as Protection. Many plants use poison as a means of protection. The sun epurge has a poisonous juice which kills any in sects which approach it, while the poisonous properties of the deadly nightshade are well known. The bracken fern has such a bitter ‘astf that cows and sheep feeding near 1 will not touch it, and the leaves o the buttercup have a bitter tastwhicn is much disliked by plant-ea* ing animals.

Father’s Plan. It was in a suburban town and the good minister had taken his class of boys on a little picnic out in the woods. Each was supplied with a basket of fruit and sandwiches, and as they sat down in a picturesque spot to appease their sharpened appetites, the minister asked: “Now, boys, what is the best and most appropriate time to thank the Lord?” The boys looked at each other in silent questioning. “What does your father do when he sits down to his meals?’ ’ One of the lads, a little red-haired chap, promptly answered: “Cuss the cook.” WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE, Smithville, Ind.—“ Six months ago our baby girl, one year old, had a few red pimples come on her face which gradually spread causing her face to become very irritated and a fiery red color. The pimples on the child’s face i were at first small watery blisters, just i a small blotch on the skin. She kept ! scratching at this until in a few days her whole cheeks were fiery red color and instead of the little blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very much. “We used a number of remedies which seemed to give relief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint- ; ment. I washed the child’s face with | very warm water and Cuticura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointmenr |. very lightly. After doing this about I three times a day the itching and ! burning seemed entirely gone in two days’ time. Inside of two weeks’ time ; her face seemed well. That was eight months age and there has been no return of the trouble.” (Signed) Mrs. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.
