All inking water should be boiled during this hot summer before it is drunk. This is the time of year that typhoid fever germs begin to appear, and in order to avoid impu. ities which lead to sickness great care should be taken with drinking water.

The utmost care should be used in obtaining milk for babies and childten. No filthy or impure milk should be given children at all and during the hot weather every precaution possible toward obtaining only pure milk should be used. Compliment to a Louisa Lawyer.
