BOILING WATER

There is an art In boiling water but
half comprehended by the average
housekeeper. Water that has once been
heated. or that has stood any length OF
time In the kettle, cannot be made to
boil as quickly as freshly drawn cold
water. III this fact were fully appreci-
ated, IL would have more weight with
housekeepers as an argument against
using water that has stood over night.
NAN numerous homilies on the unhealth-
fulness of stale water.
IL may be a deplorable fact, but, never
theless. IL is fact. that the average wo-
man, when In a hurry, cares more for the
rapidity with which thing can be done,
than for its possible effect on the health.
In country places where the water must
be brought from a well or pumped out
side. the housewife, being in haste, will
think she haC not time 10 go for fresh
water. If she knew that the tine spent
in getting IL would be more than saved
in the boiling, she would not hesitate
which TO do
Fresh water is living. and water that
has been boiled or allowed 10 stand long
absorbing gases and heat, is either dead
or poisoned. AS IL is easier to kill the
living than resuscitate the dead, SO is II
easier TO boil fresh water than stale or
dead water.
When water has once been made to boil
the fire may be much lessened cas but
little heat is required to keep II at boil
ing point. Except In cooking rice, and
one or two other exceptional cases. there
Is no advantage whatever in making
water boil furiously. The heat will es-
cape In steam without raising the tenn
pcrature OF the water. which though Il
boil ever SO wildly. will not go above "a
Fahrenheit.
Therefore. all the extra fuel used to
keep the water boiling rapidly is wasted.
True economy would avoid such waste.
and with much less fire accomplish just
as much.
For drinking purposes. water should
be boiled. bottled Immediately and fas-
tened tight. When cool. lay the bottles
on the Ice. II will be found superior to
tCe-water on all occasions.

We are such great nation and our
progress has been SO wonderful, that
as we are apt to forget that there have
been different. PHILOSOPHERS, different
lives of Industrial progress fion oir
own, we should make Il study of the
progress of the human race from its
earliest history, not only because 1t is

fected our own civilization.
We lind that the Romans almost
skinned the edges of divinity in Their

A knowledge OF the great past Is
sometimes of gieat benefit to the
