The majority of the milk consumed in urban communities ig“delivered in bottles. Most of these are of the fam." iliar type with flanged top sealed with a paper disc. Sometime between mid- night and the morning, tens of thous- ands of these pottles are delivered upon the door steps and porches. To handle one of these bottles with ease one naturally picks it up by the top, holding on to the flange or rim. This is the way the delivery man picks them out of the crate and tha way they are put into the ice box. When the milk is served the paper cap it lifted with tue fingers or privd out with some pointed utensil and the milk poured out, If you have ever performed this operation and most people have, you know that the milk flows over the rim thst has been bad- ly exposed to the often dirty hands of a various persons who handle the bottle before it is delivered to the consumer. . This may seem a small matter but in truth no easier method of contani- inating the individual milk supply could be acquired. Before the milk is poured the bottle tops should be scalded to insura clenliness and safety from contam- ination, Owing to the fact that the present | milk bottle is used in houses of the sick as well as in those of the healthy and often not thoroughly cleansed or disinfected, it will have to give way in the near future to the destructible bottle that will never be used the second time, Miss Kahryn Schuyler returned to her home last Saturday after a. visit { with her sister, Mrs. W.
