Methods of. Performing "a scminn-
nuol Act Of Cleanliness.
The disinfection Of stables after Il pc.
riod Of constant use should be q part
Of routine practice. Duiry stables in
particular should be disinfcctcd twice
year and oftcner If the conditions de-
mnnd it, says Dr.. a. w. Biting Of pur-
due experiment station at Lafayette,
Ind. 1t Is not possible to give m.ny
stables that thorough disjnfcctiou that
is possible In houses. because their
construction will not admit Of 1t, but it
is possible to do very much md ut lit
tie expense.
The Ideal method OF dislnfcctlon Is
by means Of gas. rs that would have
the power to penetrate everywhere.
The effectiveness Of this; method de-
pends upon securing large volume Of
gas and maintaining it for some time
Unless tho stable can he made tight n
gas Will be Of little use For nll prarti-
cal purposes the gas produced by burn
Ing sulphur over a pot of Goals Is the
best If used In connection with steam.
Tho dry sulphur fumes have little
germ killing power, but when COM
bincd with the steam In the air they
form q compound that Is deadly. Tho
boiling Of water and burning OF sulphur
should 40 together. Formuldchydc gas
Is not 50 efficient for stable diSinfcc-
tion as many would have us believe.
a yery practical means or disinlcction
that may be used under almost every
stable condition Is by >whltcwashing
This Is not expensive for material and
Is very easily applied by means Of an
inexpensive fruit spray pump. The
lime should be thoroughly slnkcd and
strained through cloth and made just
thin enough to work we'll through the
nozzle. One man can apply two conts
of whitcwnsh with Il pump and reach
al parts Of side and ceiling Of Il room
In about one-fourth the time required
with tn" brush. WhiteWaSh VIII kill
or hold the germs With which it comes
In contact. 1t has the effect, too. Of
making the barn lighter and cleaner
After the first spraying one application
will usually be sufficient If given regu-
lnrly. AS the business Of supplying
milk to cities and crcnmerlcs Is Of
large proportions and depends upon
cleanliness this precautlon Of disinfec-
ton should be regularly followed.

At this point yNoort day or two old Is
added In the proportion Of one table
spoonful to quart Of the milk. 1t Is
thoroughly stirred In. The temperature
is maintained at so degrees for three or
four hours, The fermentcd mass Is then
placed iii a cool place and allowed to
stand for twenty-four hours. When old
yaoort Is not readily procured to start
the Tactic acid fermentation the juice
Of tho wild sumac berries is employed
The thickened mass thus obtained
the ynoort, Is largely used throughout
the orient as 4 food. 1t has the cou-
sistcncy Of a custard without whey, or
Of "junllct," and u slight acid taste. 1t
Is highly nutritious, easily A!sc%tGa and
very refreshing IN warm weather. 1t Is
used In the preparation OF various
Turkish dishes, both meats and vcgc-
tables. AS II rule, Foreigners settling
in Turkey become very fond Of this
preparation.
When used as the basis Of butter

from Sleeps milk, Is introduced into

There is nothing more necessary to health

Snowy Linen the Main Thing In an
Attractive Bed.

Snowy Linen tho Main Thing In an
Attractive Bed.
Snowy white linen is an invita-
ton to rest and sleep. a creased
and wrinkled pair Of sheets and pill
low slips past pristine freshness are
enough to cause a wakcful night.
Bed linens should be washed scpa-
ratcly from the other laundry work
and no starch should be used. If
ironed while still quite damp, there
will be sufficient stiffness given to
the sheets to make them appear
we'll, and they will certainly prove
far moro comfortable to the slecpcrs
than il starch were used. DO not
fail to have the bed linen thorough
ly aired and dried before it is put
away in piles in close closet.
With fresh and dainty bed linen
the matter Of making an attractive
bed becomes an easy task. 1t is re-
markablc how few people know how
to make bed in an attractive man
ncr. Never "sprcad up" Il bed.
Every morning the covers should all
be removed and the clothing hung
in such q way that fresh current
Of air can pass through it. The
mattress should be turned so that
tho air can also reach every part Of
it, and before making the bed the
position Of the mattress should be
changed so that the wear shall not
fall upon the same part.
One of the first requisites for n
well made bed is that the sheets
should be Of ample length. Allow
plenty of material, SO that the
sheets may be well tucked In at the
sides and foot. There should be at
least three pairs Of sheets provided
for each bed. Three pairs Of pillow
cases, three bolster cases and two
white spreads for everyday use will
prevent awkwardncss in case OF
sickness. Care should be taken to
keep the bed in the guestroon ut-
tractively arranged.

How to Drive Away Inaecta,

Bits Of raw cotton or wadding sat
uratcd with the oil Of pennyroynl and
placed in corners. on closet shelves md
in boxes or drawers will drive away
several kinds Of Objectionable insects,
coclironchcs. ants, etc, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. Placed In q
saucer IN the windows. it will help
drive away flies. Saturated pads OF
the ponnyroynl placed between the
mattress and around the bed will
drive away the plague not given In the
list Of those with which Egypt was
sc0urged for her sins. For this dread
full pest another excellent preventive
and cure Is an application to infested
places Of equal parts Of kerosene and
spirits of turpentine. Put the solution
In the joints and cracks Of the bed,
about the surbase and in any other
places where the insects have found
lodgment and fill all cracks with hard
soap that can be SO treated This Is an
old fashioned and reliable remedy.

DELAY IN FORWARDING
PETITION OF JEWS
But 1t Will Be Sent to
Europe As Soon AS Ad-
dress Is Furnished

Washington, July 2.-At the state
department it was stated by high Of
fetal, In the absence Of Secretary Hay,
that the delay in forwarding the petit
tion of the American citizens of the
Jewish faith as to the i'll treatment OF
their co-religionists in Russia, was
solely due to the delay In furnishing
the address to the state department
by the petitioners. The state depart
ment would. of course, pay no heed to
any statement purporting to emanate
from the Russian government unless
such statement were made officially in
some form or other to our own gov
ernment
The state department has been scru-
pulously careful to act only in accord
ance with all the requirements of off,
cial propriety, but within the limits
thus laid down it will most certainly
not hesitate to give expression to the
deep sympathy felt not only by the
administration, but by all the Ameri-
can people for the unfortunate Jews
who have been the victims in the re-
cent appalling outrages. In this con-
nection it was pointed out by another
official, who disclaimed to speak in his
official capacity. however, that it SEEM
ed somewhat strange, to say the least,
THAI the Russian government should
choose this particular method of max
ing a statement to the American peo-
pie at the very time when by methods
which are certainly the reverse of
friendly to the United States. 1t has
sought TO make China join in breaking
the plighted faith of all the powers
