TOR THE HOUSEWIFE


The good mother who looketh well to
the ways of her household must not
only be good cook, but Il good caterer.
She must know how TO purchase food
so that it will be the most economical
and the best in its season, and she
must know how to cook it so that there
will be the least waste of food value.
She must provide food suitable to the
physical needs of each of her family,
individually as well as collectively. 1t
is no small task that the provider of
food for the household undertakes.
The more refined the type of the indi-
Yidual the more careful he must be in
the selection of his food. Only the
grossest and lowest animals eat what
ever is given them. There is more ami
malism in eating with satisfaction Il
heavy dinner of many courses, badly
cooked and second rate in quality, and
agining because it is elaborate you
have dined well than there is in that
faStidiousneSS in regard 10 food which
the epicure shows. The term cpicure
should not be one of reproach, vet it
often is, even to those who should re-
member there is only one animal in the
farmyard who does not select his food,
but eats promiscuously whatever is
thrown TO him.
There IS a certain class of house
keepers who seem to think their fami-
lies should be served in regard to food
with no greater care than the poor pig.
They beast that they eat TO live" The
highest and most intellectual life re-
quires Il body in the most perfect phys
ical condition. The food must meet the
of the body. Badly cook
ed and badly selected food causes the
great majority of ills TO which human
nature is heir. Most diseases may be
traced back to malnutritiOn or the con-

its duty as food.-New York Tribune.

Under the belief that with treat
ment of goats milk he can accomplish
the complete eradication Of consump-
ton, Robert Williams is establishing
an immense goat camp in the MogOlon
mountains and intends to place there
Il mammoth sanitarium for the treat
ment of pulmonary troubles. says Il
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Williams studied medicine in
eastern colleges. He had inherited con-
sumption and came to Arizona in the
latter stages of the disease. With Il
few hundred dollars he bought small
ranch in the mountains and stocked it
with goats merely as Il business invest
ment. Under an enforced diet of goats
milk he gradually regained his health
and in two years nearly doubled his
weight, entirely routing his lung diff
Guilty.
At the time, however, Williams did
not realize that his cure was due to
goats milk. One day he read about
the medical properties of goat lymph
as demonstrated in n series of expert
ments conducted by the goat lymph
sanitarium association in the Audito-
rum building in Chicago. Being 4
medical man himself, he argued that
if the lymph will cure locomotor ajax
ia, paralysis, chronic articular rheu-
matism and similar diseases there
must be virtue in goat milk for pull
monary affections. He studied the
matter closely and finally came to the
conclusion that the improvement in his
own case hard been effected by his en-
forced goat milk diet. He experiment.
ed with other sufferers and got the
same results.
a company has been formed by VIII
liams to equip his sanitarium, and an
immense range for the goats has been
secured. 1t is intendcI to maintain n
herd of over 1000 milk goats. num-
Der believed to be sufficient TO supply
milk for several hundred patients, be-
sides leaving large quantity to be
condensed and canned.
