     To the Editors,

     DEAR SIRS,

Re Mrs C.E.J.’s letter and the reply thereto:  I should be inclined to doubt the wisdom of making this from unboiled or uncooked milk unless one had it from one’s own cows and could supervise the dairy oneself.  The average milk that comes into towns from country farms is—­well, it’s unthinkable.  There’s a saying that what the eye doesn’t see the heart doesn’t grieve over, but that doesn’t alter the fact that the average cow is none too clean, the average milker’s hands and clothes (to say nothing of his face, hat and head) none too clean, the milking-place none too clean, and the circumstances of transit such as don’t make for cleanliness.  I have put it very moderately, as those who know country dairy farms will admit.  Those who particularly want clean cheese from uncooked milk should buy it from a County Council dairy farm or similar institution.  Yours truly,

     B.C.  FORDER.

 WILL OTHER READERS DO LIKEWISE?

 Mrs E. BUMPUS writes (7th October 1913):—­

     I am ordering two copies each month from my local newsagent....  I
     thought he might be induced to show copies of your publication in
     his window.

 [An attractive blue poster is supplied each month free by the
 Publishers to all genuine agents who apply for the same.—­EDS.]

 THE HEALTHY LIFE IN THE LIBRARIES.

 Mr C.H.  GRINLING writes (25th October 1913):—­

I note the suggestion on p. 580 of the October number of The Healthy Life.  A friend enables me to ask you to send The Healthy Life regularly for one year to the Woolwich Public Library, William Street, Woolwich.  I enclose 2s.  The librarian will see that it appears on the magazine-room table regularly.

[There is every reason why The Healthy Life should be known and read in every public library in the United Kingdom.  In this we are entirely dependent upon those readers who are ready to follow the excellent example of the above and other correspondents.  A year’s subscription—­2s.—­is a very small price to pay for bringing the message of this magazine before the public in this way.  We should like to hear from readers in all parts.—­EDS.]
