rn In conversation about What I knew
Of the country west of th Missouri river,
and greatly Impressed me by the great
Interest he displayed In the work In which
I was engaged. H InqtllnM particularly

Many epidemics of disease in cities are daily
being traced W the milk supply. Germs thrive in
milk.' .They thrive in milk that has been pasteur
ized as well as in unpasteurized milk.
- Chicago Health, Bulletin No. 8 says that ten cases .
; of typhoid fever were traced to onemilk-wagon driver -Who
stayed at work after he felt sick. This driver
.wiped the top of each milk bottle with a piece of
cheesecloth and so spread the disease.
- It's' hot enough to have milk s tdrt pure for your kitchen.
For you to be protected it must be pv.re ".vhen it reaches you. .
Pasteurization of milk on the dairy farm is good so far

that process. There are still the exposures to contamina
