Milk Talk No. 2. J
CLEANLINESS
As milk is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the reguirements of the body, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially. the1 young, depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
the milk. ' And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from, whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
food for the baby.

ceived information from the department

Forest reserves are for the purpose of
preserving a perpetual supply .of timber
for home industries, preventing destruc
tion of the forests cover which regulates
the flow of streams and protecting the
local residents from unfair competition in
the use of forest and range. They are
patrolled and protected at government ex
pense for the benefit of the community
and of the home builder. .
The timber, water, pasture, mineral and
other resources of the forest reserves are
for the use of the people. They may be
obtained under reasonable conditions with
out delay. Legitimate improvements and
business enterprises will be encouraged.
Forest reserves are open to all persons
for all lawful purposes. .
Persons who wish to make use of the
resources of a forest reserve for which a
Dermit is reauired, should consult the
nearest forest reserve.
The reserve in which most of the people
in this vicinity are interested Is the Blue
Mountain reserve which has not yet been
made Public but will undoubtedly in the
near future.

' rCVERS CONTINUED
Germs constitute the chief and sole
cause of fevers, in the minds of the gen
eral public, and even .with some poorly
read doctors. Something to kill the germs
s the public cry, and poorly read physi
cians often ostensibly give something for
the purpose. Yet it is known full well
that any drug used internally that will kill
germs will also destroy the ceils of the
body and even life itself.
True, germs are a, cause of fever, but
are secondary. Germs cannot prorogate
or even live except the resistance if tha
tissue be "weakened. This weakening
then, is the first cause and the one to be
attended to. Nature, in the white blood
cells, has provided ample protection
against germs. These cells, under the
microscope, may be seen containing many
germs which they have encased and killed.
What then is the logical treatment?
First, the Osteopath corrects the dis
placements that weaken the blood flow
through the part where the germs have
located and multiplied. Then he tries the
blood making organs that this army of
white blood cells may be increased. In
this way are the germs killed and the
fevers aborted.
The old South Methodist church at In
