Milk Bottles.
There’s many a slip ’twixt cup and |
lip, and’ there is many a microbe be-
tween the reasonably clean milk in-
side a bottle and the pitcher or glass
into which it is poured.
Milk bottles from the very best dai-
ries are left at our doors covered with
dirt. If you do not believe this to be
true, rub your fingers over a bottle
and then examine them. Dust will
cling to glass even after it has been
thoroughly cleaned, and milk bottles,
being usually a trifle greasy, are
prone to hold every particle of dust,
which, except on rainy days, floats in
clouds over and under and through
the milk wagon during its long jour-
ney.
Where the cemmon pasteboard
stopper is used, there is formed by it
and the surrounding ring of glass a
nice little circular receptacle for the
convenient collection of an ¢specially
thick layer of dirt.
Then the neck and rim of the mouth
of the bottle are necessarily handled
by the dairyman who has just drop-
ped the reins of his horse, or, at any
rate, whose paws are far from clean.
Add to this the licks (or worse) be-
stowed by passing cats and dogs upon
the tops of the bottles before they are
brought inte the house, and one has a
veritable garden of soil with living
contents of all description.
After the dirt-covered stopper is re-
moved (if it is not poked carelessly
or unskillfully down into the bottle,)
the milk is poured over the side walls
of this sunken garden, carrying with
it much of the street and cat and dog
deposits into the container from which
we drink. No harm may come of it,
but this is not the safest dirt in the
world, and it adds nothing to the fla-
vor of the milk.
The milk bottle the top of which is
covered with a meatal or paper cap
that comes down over the outside of
the neck of the bottle is much to be
preferred, if a dairyman can be found
who is so up-to-date as to use this
means of protecticn; but where one
cannot secure this kind of bottle he!
car at least place the mouth and neck |
of the bottle under the faucet and let!
the water fiow vigorously for a few!
seconds upon the cap and neck. A |
clean cloth might also be used to
cleanse the top and afterward the
rest of the bottle, followed by a show-
er bath from the faucet. The whole
bottle should be clean before being
opened or set away.
It is not impossible that many cases
of disease ~ontracted from milk were
due, not to the fault of the lairyman,
but to the housewife who failed to
cleanse the top of the bottle before
opening and pouring frem it. It is at
least safer and more cleanly to make
use of this simple and costless precau-
tion against contamination.

Would Create New State and Name |
It for Lincoln.
Congress will be asked at its next
session to create the new State, of Lin-
coln out of a part of the easterly
counties of Washington and the;
northern projection of Idaho, known
as the Panhandle. :
Only once in the history of the
United States has such a thing been |
done. That was when West Virginia |
-was erected ont of the old State of
Virgiria. New States have heen cre- |
ated out of the wild portions of the
older States, but the plan in contem-
plation for the State of Lincoln would
take a valuable part of Washington,
including the city of Spokane, away
from it. The concurrence of the fed-
eral Congress and the Legislatures of
Washington and Idaho would be re-
quired to accomplish this.
The project to make a new State
.to be named for Lincoln recalls the
fact that there was once a State
named for Franklin, but it never bhe-
came a part of the Union. The story
may be read in history, but it is al-
most entirely forgotten. .
In 1874 the State of North Carolina
passed an act conveying to the gov-
errment of the United States the
lands that now constitute the State of
Tennessee. The reason for the act
was because North Carolina had
grown weary of the burden imposed
upon the treasury by her western set-
tlements and had become irritated at
the complaints of neglect which the
settlers in those parts seem to have
frequently made. :
After the passage of the act of ces-
sion by the Legislature of North Car-
olina the settlers in those lands which
are now eastern Tennessee felt that
they had been cast adrift by their own
State, had not yet been taker up by
“the national government and that
thus they were under no government.
They organized themselves into an
independent Commonwealth which
they called the State of Franklin.
State College Has Largest Summer
School in Pennsylvania.
STATE COLLEGE, PA.—Enrollment in
Penn State’s summer session has reach-
ed the record breaking total of 1103, an
increase of seventy:nine over last year’s
atttendance. This is the largest regis-
tration the summer school has had dur-
ing the seven years it has been operated.
State College now has the largest sum-
mer school in the State. The attendance
is made up exclusively of public school
teachers from Pennsylvania. Dr. E.R
Smith, director of the summer session,
attributes the steady growth in attend-
ance to a wide selection of courses to
meet the needs of progressive teachers.
Particular attention is given to agricul-
ture, home economics, public school
drawing and the sciences.
Epicurean Approval.
“How are you getting on with you
garden?”
“First rate,” replied Mr. Crosslots.
“Raised anything good to eat?”
“I should say so. Why, the neighbors’
chickens simply can’t wait for the stuff
to get ripe!”—“Washington Star.”

“Watchman.”
| FOLLOW THE ANCIENT RITUAL
Samaritans of Today Observe the
Passover With All the Traditional
Ceremonies Ordered.
“The Samaritans stood close togeth-
er to prevent the Mahometan specta-
tors, who delight to torment them,
from snatching even a bit of wool,
which would remain over and thus
cause them to break the command,
‘Ye shall let nothing of it remain until
the morning,’ ” says a writer in the
Christian Herald.
“After cleansing the lambs they re
moved a front leg of each, and these
were set apart as the priest’s portion.
A long wooden pole was then threaded
through each of the prepared lambs,
and was carried thus to the pit near-
by, wherein a large fire, which had |
been kindled early in the evening, had
burned down, leaving a bed of red-hot
coals at the bottom. The poles, pro-
tected by metal at the lower end, were |
stuck into this bed of coals, being long
enough to reach to the top of the pit,
the lambs thus suspended about half
way up. A matting was placed over
the mouth of the pit, which in turn
was covered with earth, making a sort
of improvised oven, for the law de-
mands that ‘they be roast with fire,
not sodden with water.’
“The sheep were left to roast until
midnight—the appointed hour—and all
but the guards retired to their tents
during the interval.
“Being the guests of the Kahin, we
went to his tent, and he edified us by
reading the various laws in Leviticus
concerning the sacrifices, besides the
chapter which gives the narrative of
the first Passover.”
EYES TOC MUCH NEGLECTED
Residents of Cities, in the Aggregate,
Are the Chief Offenders, for
Various Reasons.
The farmer at work in his fields all
day long has much better eyesight
than the city resident. Farmers, as a
rule, have no need of artificial aid to
the eyes until old 2ge comes upon
them.
On the farm the eyes receive more
rest than in the city, because they
work at more natural angles. The
farmer's work is not right up under
his nose. In cases of most city peo-
ple their work is over books or ma-
chines, and they have a habit of stoop-
ing over it. &
This affects the eyes so that glasses
are necessary for relief. Nine-tenths
of the people who are suffering from
headaches and who wonder what the
trouble is can blame them on the treat-
ment they give their eyes. Not enough
city people wear glasses. Perhaps one
in fifty wears glasses where the av-
erage should be about one in every ten.
Children are affected in this way.
Most children lean over their desks
and have their eyes close to their
books. Teachers should prevent them
from doing this. Where children are
forced to wear glasses it is not neces-
sary that they should have to wear
them all the time. When the children
are at play they ought, in most cases,
to be allowed to go without their
glasses.
Cultivating Beauty.
If the busy housewife can spare an
hour or so each day in the exercise
necessary to retain her youth and
beauty, all well and good. But if not
each daily task can be utilized to im-
prove some part of the body. Dash-
ing cold water, followed by hard rub-
bing, tones up the skin and prevents
colds, improves the circulation and
takes no more time than a languid rub
with a wash cloth. Even dressing can
be made useful in this respect when
the housewife leans down to button
her shoes. The knees should be kept
rigid and the bending should. be en-
tirely at the waist. Instead of sitting
to dress the hair, hang the mirror at
a convenient height and as you put
in the pins rise and fall slowly on the
toes, keeping the chest well up. This
strengthens the back and ankles to a
great extent.
Great Waste of Ink.
He entered the West hotel, a fine,
courtly southern gentleman, very af-
fable and genial, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. And this is what he wrote
on the register.
“Hinton Graves Lee, resident in Au-
gusta, Ga., prior to February 1, and in
Georgia state since 1852, now resident
at Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City,
Kan.”
Clerks A. D. Hein and A. M. Shartin
looked it over and had a whispered
consultation.
“Think of it,” said Hein. “Why,
the ink firm could afford to pay the
traveling expenses and a good salary
to Mr. Lee. If that habit ever spreads,
there wouldn't be ink enough in th
United States to go around.” -
Paper and Ink for Our Money.
In the manufacture and printing of
the paper money of the United States
it is necessary that there shall be im-
ported materials from various parts of
the world. A part of the paper fiber,
for instance, is linen rag from the
Orient. The silk that furnishes the
strands that are run through the pa-
per as a safeguard against counter-
feiting comes from China or from
Italy. The blue ink contains cobalt
from Canada or Germany. « The black
ink is said to be made at Niagara
Falls from acetylene gas smoke; and
the greater part of the green ink is
made with white zinc sulphite, de-
rived from German sources. The red
color in the seal is obtained from a
pigment imported from Central Amer-
ica.
Dentists Blame Decayed Teeth for
Many Diseases.
|
| LoursviLLE.~—The relation of mouth
| infections to general health was given
| special emphasis at the second general
' session of the twentieth annual conven-
tion of the National Dental Association.
i Speakers developed the fact that the
. health of the individual frequently is
tions could be traced to the breakdown-
of dental work not of a permanent char-
acter.
Dr. Thomas B. Hartzell, of Minne-
apolis, declared rheumatism, certain
forms of Bright's diseases, indigestion
and heart trouble could be traced to
defective teeth.
——The “Watchman” should be
| seriously and vitally affected by an in-
| sanitary condition of the mouth. In
| many cases it was declared such condi-
read in every home in Centre coun-
ty. Why don’t you try it?
