The Milk of Superior Flavor Milk is a highly perishable product. Only by the greatest of care can its fine sweet flavor, its richness and purity be preserved for you. This is particularly true in the hot, sultry days of summer. At this trying time vigilance must be doubly strict. Such vigilance the Bowman Dairy Com- pany exercises without stint. Every step, from the milking of the cow to the pasteurizing, bottling and final deliv- ery is taken only under the strict super- vision of Bowman-trained inspectors. That is why Bowman's Milk reaches your table so rich, so fresh and so super- ior in flavor. It is milk you can trust-- in all weather--every day of the year. Order a bottle today. See how good a good milk can really be. Telephone Glencoe 70 or order from the courte- ous Bowman milkman who passes your door. BowMAN DAIRY COMPANY MILK The Milk of Superior Flavor HEALTH LEADERS WAR ON STREAM POLLUTION Systematic Campaign to Cleanse Illinois Rivers Launched by U. S. and State Experts Greater safety of public water sup- plies, less hazard to bathers and more adequate protection of fish life are the objects of a new anti-stream pollution project recently launched by the Illi- nois state department of public health. Sanitary engineers from the depart- ment, accompanied by Dr. W. C. Pur- dy, eminent biologist and stream pol- lution expert from the U. S. Public service at Washington, were busy last week along the Big Muddy river in southern Illinois. From there the san- itarians will go to the Fox river, the next stream on the schedule which in- volves all important waterways in the state. Comprehensive Plan "This effort is the most compre- hensive attempt at stream sanitation ever undertaken in the state," declares Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health di- rector, in commenting on the project. "Its primary purpose is to add another factor of safety to public water sup- plies but incidently it will reduce the hazard of water-borne disease to bath- ers and will tend to promote fish life also. The plan is to make a detailed study of present conditions of every important stream in the state and to initiate measures looking to the cor- rection of all dangerous pollution. "Work on the program is already underway. Two state sanitary engi- neers, who had the advantage of three days' time of Dr. W. C. Purdy of the U. S. Public Health service, a nation- ally recognized authority on stream pollution problems, are already busy on the Big Muddy in Southern Illinois. This river was chosen for the begin- ning because from it is drawn a larger number of public water supplies per mile than from any other stream in the state. Work on Fox River "The next stream on the program is the Fox river. Work will proceed to other streams as rapidly as the per- sonnel will permit and it will con- tinue uninterrupted so long as weather conditions allow. "The modern means of travel that bring into easy access of the automo- bile owner every town and almost every foot of waterway make it im- perative to throw every possible safe- guard around public water supplies and the streams themselves. People from widely different points drink wat- er in the same village or city, fish along the banks of the same creek or river and escape the heat in the same old swimming hole. Typhoid, diarrhea and other water-borne diseases may be widely spread under such conditions if streams are dangerously polluted. "The project now in progress will determine the degree of pollution, where it exists, the source of contam- ination and the means necessary to correction. These data should lead to a significant improvement in the san- itary conditions of the more important streams in the state."
