Lead poisoning is not As rule the re-
suit of gross neglect OF wel.esta5llShed
knowledge. but is due rather 10 ignorance
OF the faclty with which lead i, mingled
with many articles OF food, and of the
harmful effects OF It's subsequent ABSORB
ton.
Prof. Wood of Harvard College has de.
monstrated that the habitual use OF water
which contains lead in the proportion OF
one part in 100000, or Of a quarter OF a
grain to a gallon, is capable OF producing
pronounced symptoms.
A British medical journal relates an in
stance in which flour in the process Of
milling was conveyed by tin elevator
buckets which had been timed with
lead. Enough lead was by this means
mingled with the flour to produce symp-
toms of lead poisoning.
In another case a defective milestone
had been plugged with white lead. In
the process OF grinding gradual distribu-
ton OF the lead took place, with similarly
dangerous results.
\ writer in the Medical News has de
scribed cases of lead poisoning which oc-
cured from the ignorant use OF chro-
mate of lead for the purpose of coloring
cake yellow.
The symptoms most commonly result
ing in these instances were collie, consti-
patton, tremor of the limbs, pallor, mus
cular wasting, neuralgia and similar "ner-
vous" disturbances.
Such cases point to the fact that the
habtual absorption of even a small guam

How the Odor of Food May be Re
moved From Cooking Vessels.

Sometimes the most careful washing
will not wholly remove the favor or odor
of food from the utensil in which it was
cooked This is frequently the case with
fish, onions, cabbage, etc, but there is a
remedy which though little trouble, is
well worth trying After any OF these
articles have been cooked, wash the uten-
sill carefully with soap and water. Nearly
fill it with cold water, and for each quart
of water add about tablespoonful of dis
solved washing soda. Place on the fire
and let the water get boiling hot. Now
turn this water into the sink. Rinse the
utensi with clean warm, water, and on
wiping it dry it will be found perfectly

indications being eggs with soft shells,
If this occurs it is a sure indication
that they have been fed too much, and
they will not begin 10 lay regularly again
until they are made to take more exercise
and subsist on a less carbonaceouS diet
The better plan is to feed cautiously
before the hens begin TO fall OFT. Use
grain very moderately and give more lean
meat. In this manner the feeding Will
afford a greater supply of ingredients Tor

Younger and weaker animals. If .yarded

to those animals which now get the poor

Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CorToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t combines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an a~ppetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.
