JULY 2. 191-1. .1 hey Are Doling Warn Weather Milk la Easily Contaminated After Delivery to the Home. Auto Plunges Over Bank Into 100-foot Gulch Man Done TJp in Plaster Es capes Uninjured. mrnm 11 Washington, D. C, July 2. During the hot weather milk is particularly susceptible to contamination and for that reason the U. 8. department of agriculture is issuing a timely wsrning to housewives: Beware of unclean milk'! When milk is delivered it should be put into the refrigerator at once, a very brief exposure to summer heat makes it unfit for use. If it is impos sible to have the bottles put immedi ately into the refrigerator, provide on the porch a box containing a lump of ice. In planning a house, arrange to have the refrigerator set in the wall with an opening on the outside. It is always possible to provide locks for these boxes or refrigerator doors, and supply the milkman with a key. The interior of the food compartment should be wiped every day with a clean cloth, -and thoroughly scalded as often as once a week. Under no circum stances should the drain pipe of an ice box be connected with a sewer. Care in Opening a Bottle of Milk. Before removing the cap from a bot tle of milk, the cap and the neck of the bottle should be washed and cure fully wiped with a clean cloth. The cap should not be pushed aown into the milk. It may be cosily removed with a sharp-pointed intrument without in juring the contents. The bottle when once opened should be kept covered and the milk should be kept in the original bottle until it is used up. The original cap should not be replaced, but instead an inverted glass may be put over the top oi the bottle. The bot tle when not in uso, should, of course, always be left in the rerrigerator, and any milk that has been poured from it into another vessel should not be pour ed back. Onions and other foods hav ing a strong odor, especially during the hot . weather, very easily impart their distinctive smell to milk that is left uncovered. This is an additional rea son for always keeping milk in a cov ered receptacle. Keep Milk Bottles Out of Sick Boom. Milk bottles should never be taken into a sick room, for as they are usu ally returned to the milk man, they may thus carry infectious diseases into other homes. Every milk bottle left at a house where there is an infectious sickness should be boiled beforo being returned. The best thing to do in such circumstances is to provide one's own milk bottles or covered dishes into which the milk man may pour the milk from his bottles.

After the remarkable experience of plunging in an automobile over an embankment in to a gulch 100 feet deep, William Pratt ' is alive here today, in spite of the fact I that he was suffering from a broken back at tho time and had left the Northern Pacific hospital but a short time before with his Dack in a plaster cast to take a ride. The machine was wrecaeu, dui i raii in ami M t.n.nj n-.-.mAn owanail n-itknfr ininrV S4 Pratt received only a few scratches, I i I but his daughter, Isabella, who was driving the car, was hurt about the back and suffered from shock. Tho machine was ascending the Sixth avenue hill and owing to the sharp in cline Miss l'rntt attempted to throw the clutch into the low gear. Before she could do so, however, she lost con trol and the automobile backe- down the hill, gaining momentum as it went. Just across C street Is a gulch over 100 feet in depth, and into this the nuto plunged. As it Btruck tho em bankment it turned over, sliding down j J the sharp incline ana throwing tne oc cupants about half way down. . To this spill the party owes their lives, for immediately thereafter the mnchino turned a somersault, landing at the bottom of the gulch, completely wrecked. Every time there is a rainbow In the sky it looks as if Mme. Nature were trying the latest fashion. These col1 orful belts are indeed fascinating. ncction is important. Tho board of health may bo called to disinfect milk bottles properly after they have been in a home where there is sickness. In any case, bottles should bo given reasonable care beforo they are return ed to their owner. Tho practice of pouring vinegar or kerosene or other liquids into them temporarily when not in uso should by all means be discour nged. The containers Bhould be washed in cold water first ana finally in warm water before they aro returned to the farmer supplying the milk. These little details of cleanliness are mntters which cannot bo regulated by tho federal or the state governments. Uules Wwd regulations that require pure milk to be delivered to the home may be rendered valueless by careless indi viduals in tho home. The best efforts of the milk man or farmer to deliver first-clnss milk will amount to nothing unless individual housewives will co operate for the good of the community. u ii n n ti u ti u ti The people are reading our ads and profiting thereby.

Stockmen in the Northwest are being warneil by the IT. S. Department of Agriculture that the plant Menziesia is poisonous and may kill sheep ami cattle. Men zicsia is a straggling, hrnnching shrub which grows to be from 3 to 7 feet in height. In this country it is found in the Southern Allchenies and in the mountains of Northern California, Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho and Washing ton. The Rocky Mountains species whii-h is the one known to be poison ous, usually occurs at altitudes of from 3.300 foet to 6,000 on moist northern slopes in open woods and about the "balds". Jn some places it grows abundantly and on the other hand there are long stretches in which no speci mens at all are to be found. Stock poisoned by Menzicsia exhibit symptoms much like those caused by a number of other plants. There is a noticeable frothing at the mouth and weakness which causes staggering in the gait and ends in more or less com plete paralysis. There is usually pro nounced nausea and some times dif ficulty in breathing. It is believed, however, that a considerable quantity of the plant must be eaten before its effects become dangerous. Where there is abundance of other fodder sheep will not eat Menzicsia. The trouble occurs when there is no other food readily available.

"The people are not only demanding better teachers and better school build ings with more equipment, but they nt longer terms of school. The rapid change in public sentiment in this re gard is shown by the fact that only eight years ago the minimum school term in this state was three months, and there were hundreds of districts narrow trails where the plant is most 'that held as little school as the law likely to abound they are apt to seize upon it and this is also true when Deri ding grounds are used repeatedly and the healthy forage in the neighborhood consequently exhausted. , The remedy is for herdsmen to learn ; to recognize the plant.

The result was that thousands of our children had only sixty days or actual schooling each year.
