Show HEALTH DEPENDS ON' GOOD MILK. New York City and the territory surrounding it have what is conceded to be one of the finest milk supplies in the world. This is the result, ac-! ac-! .cording to Vera McCrea of the Dairymen's League Cooperative as-j as-j sociation, of two factors: The strin- gent laws and system of control i created by the state and city health 1 departments, and the fact that a very i strong cooperative organization ex-! ex-! iota smmm milk nroducers. For manv I 1 I years this association has given every ! effort to educating its members in : the production of high quality milk, ! handled in the most sanitary man- ! ner. Milk is a vital food for children, affording elements necessary to the health and development of the growing grow-ing body. In New York, and other areas where similar conditions obtain, ob-tain, it comes to the family fresh wholesome and safe. Thereafter, as Miss McCrea points out, it is up co the purchaser to keep it safe. It Should be placed in the coolest part of the ice-box as soon after delivery as possible and should always be kept covered. The neck and cap of the bottle bot-tle should be washed in running water wa-ter before the milk is poured. Strong health laws and progressive, progres-sive, scientific cooperatives among dairymen should be in existence in every state. They are the guarantee that the milk we drink is not only safe and pure, but of a high standard of quality. |
