THE MILK SITUATION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. 305 



If your baby has any bowel trouble, call in .your doctor at once, so that the 

 case may be treated before it has gone too far. 



Never buy milk for the baby from a grocery store. Store milk has often been 

 kept over from the day before. Such milk is dangerous as a food for babies. 

 Never buy bulk milk from a grocery store. Storekeepers are prohibited by a 

 regulation of the board of health from selling bulk milk, which formerly only 

 too often stood around on the floor gathering sweepings or in an open pitcher or 

 can in a refrigerator, perhaps without ice, in which meats or vegetables were 

 also kept. 



By paying careful attention to the above instructions you will do much toward 

 keeping your family well during the summer, and especially the little ones who 

 live on milk. You will also find that your milk will keep longer and taste better. 



Keep this circular and read it from time to time until thoroughly familiar with 

 its contents. If you change servants, be sure to give instructions to the new 

 ones in the care of milk hi your home.
