Food wrapped i'm Paper.


1t is very common practice to put
away food that comes from the shop in
the brown paper In which the dealer
wraps 1t. While this may be conven-
lent. 1t certainly is open to serious OBJ
lection on the score OF health and
cleanliness. Most OF the cheap papers
are made from materials hardly up to
the standard of the housekeeper's ideas
of neatness; and although q certain de-
gree of heat is employed in their prep
aration it is by no means sufficient to
destroy all the disease germs with
which the raw material may be filled.
When it is taken into consideration
that waste papers OF all sorts, and those
used for all purposes, are gathered up
and worked over into new paper to
wrap our food in, 1t behooves the
housewife who cares for the health Of
her family to see to it that articles Of
food remain in contact with such
wrapping the very shortest possible
time.
cheese and other extremely susceptible
articles put away in the very cheapest,
commonest brown paper.
Immediately upon the receipt OF soft
groceries or fruits they should be put
into earthen dishes. and under no cir
cumstances should they be allowed to
remain in the papers in which they
are delivered.
1t is useless to expect that a better
class of paper will be employed, and
gave may as well make up our minds
III guard against the trouble by shift
ing all articles of food to some dish
that is absolutely free from contami-
mating elements

JOCKEY TOD SLOAN.

An Engii.h Tnrfmsn Praises His Method

to put on their considering caps.
enough Will have been accomplished
for the time. Most jockeys, of course.
wish IL TO be understood that SioanS
riding has made no difference TO them.
nevertheless. we have seen some races
in which Sloan did not take part rid
den in a fashion which would not have
been adop.ed had the American not
set the example, and with satisfactory
results
II there is one body of men that
should be and. we believe. is. thorough
| ly grateful for Sloane's advent, il is the
trainers. There are no doubt the ex-
captions that are necessary to every
rule, but there is excellent reason for
saying that the great majority of train
ers either openl- or in their hearts,
are delighted at the way Sloan has
opened peoples eyes TO the proper
way to run races. Not that there has
| been any secret about ii. or that the
| method of running races through from
start to finis' is any speciality Of
| Sloan's; in = rance il is the general
| custom. But Sloan has been the med
| ium in which the proper way of rum
ming races has been illustrated to the
| British racing public. Why trainers
| have reas-7 to be glad is becau use.
| with truly run races, their trouble
| will not be cast TO the winds, as IL
| too often is through the dunderheaded-
ness or conceit of a jockey, leaving
| chicancery out of the question OF
| what use is IL to train a horse to stay
a distance of say two miles if the first
mile and a half are run at a eanter?
4 The staying powers of the horse are
| not brought Ito play at all. The sor.
/ riest cab horse can stay two miles at
| its own pace, but the test OF the
| thoroughbred slayer is to run his race
at racing speed This we rarely. il
/ ever. see done in England unless some
/ foreign Jockey is riding; then our
| champions. who have gained their
| laurels under other and spurious con-
| ditions. are ..chawed up as the Am

II you want TO buy horse take no
mans word for it Your eye is your
market Don't buy horse in harness.
Unhitch him and take everything OF

If he has any failing, you can see 1t.
Let him go himself away, and if he
walks right into anything you know he
is blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than bat. Back him, too.
Some horses show their weakness for
tr. cks in that way when they don't in

can. you'll get caught sometimes.
Even the experts get stuck. A horse
may look ever so nice and go great
pace and yet have fits. There isn't a
man who could tell it until something
happens Or he may have a weak
back. Give him the whip and OF he
goes for a mile or two, then all of a
sudden he stops on the road. A.ter a
rest he starts again, but soon stops for
good. and nothing but a derrick can
start him
