Food Receptocles.

All receptacles for food should. as
far as possible. be kept germ and In
sect free. Glass, pottery and metallic
wares are therefore preferable to
wood. They should have no Joints or
grooves, as these harbor minute par
ticles OF food. Before placing food in
them they should be thoroughly wash
ed. scalded with boiling water. wiped
dry and then be allowed to cool. Plac-
ing them In the sun when practicable
for a couple Of hours will also add to
their purity.
