animal which can show an uncontaminat-

classed as thoroughbred that is, no drop
of cold or coarse blood must appear in
the veins, the origin of which cannot be
found behind five successive periods of

HEALTHFUL PIEs.-I do not see why
pies might not be a part of our daily food,
and why children might not eat them as
safely as bread and butter and plain fruit
sauce. The chief objection would be the
labor Of making them, but that need not
be very great. The hygienists would not
agree with me, but / think it the safest
way to use little baking powder in the
PIE crust then with ordinary care in bak-
ing you will never have heavy crust. The
crust will be sufficiently tender if you use
only tablespoonful of butter to shorten
each pie-not heaping one either. Rub

The particular general warning for the
filling of pies is-beware of too free use

are very good articles of Diet. Faith
