that the pay received by firemen who

Unseen Dki in
Milk
"It is true that the most dangerous dirt h un-v
seen; that is, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Especially is this true of milk. In order to have
clean milk there must be care and watchfulness all
the way along the line, from the dairy farm clear
into the city homes. Milk is easily spoiled. It. ab
sorbs filth and impurities when exposed to the open
air." From CJiicago Department of Health Bulletin.
When citie3 like Chicago and every other progressive
city in the country are spending thousands of dollars a year
in maintaining health departments under the direction of
the most capable physicians to be found, and these physi
cians constantly warn against the danger of disease germs
found in raw milk, isn't it best for you to be guided by
their expert opinion?
You can protect yourself against disease-laden milk.
Cottage Evaporated Milk answers the question. For
