me about them, and asked if il
was our usual custom to leave
jelly thus unprotected 1 was
obliged to reply that, so far as |
knew, il was. Then he said.
don't you know that when we
medical men want to secure
minute organisms for investiea-
ton, we expose gelatine to the
air or in places where We have
confined malignant germs. The
gelatine speedily attracts and
holds them I'm afraid your
favored gelatine does the same.
Cool the jelly If you must, but
cover it with a piece of close. ,
And We have always done that
since them
Ii is to be feared that kitchen
processes sre sources of Illness
more often than is imagined In
many city houses the little
kitchen annex where stands
the refrigerator, and where va
rious eatables are kept, is d.
rectly against a drain Yet
here stand daily uncovered
milk, butter, often eustards and
buildings, and various other alb
sorbents- The average cook is
absolutely ignorant of sanitary

vigilance of the house mother
