ABOUT KEEPING BUTTER.
Some Points which May Contain n
Suggestion for the Careful
Housewife.

The flavor and aroma of sweet pure
butter are very pleasing to the senses.
and due TO the growth of organisms in
the cream during the ripening process
it undergoes when butter is made in
the plain orthodox way. Pasteurized
cream produces butter devoid of flavor.
A trace of casein remains in all but
ter, and this is a matter to be consid-
cred by the housewife, and in keeping
butter any great length of time this
undergoes decomposition and the but
ter may become rancid. As butter con-
tains from II to Is per cent. water
this facilitates the change. Well
worked and dried butter will keep
longer than that carelessly made, says
the Washington Star.
On the continent butter is kept al
most indefinitely by melting it down
and then boiling until all the water
is evaporated or driven off. The casein
is then removed from the melted but
ter by straining through cheesecloth
or thin muslin; the oil poured into
wide-mouthed bottles or jars and al
lowed to cool; then corked up tight
and kept in cool, dry amosphere.
When required it can be used same as
ordinary butter. This clarified butter
makes very light, delicate pastry and
cakes.
Butyric acid, from which butter de-
riyes its name, may be said to be the
hall mark" of butter. When butter
becomes the least rancid this acid is
liberated from the butyrin. and butyric
acid is a very decided irritant. We
can readily understand that with the
presence of these two elements, butyric
acid and casein, in butter. one should
not use any but the freshest of butter,
unless it is preserved as directed, and
when fresh supplies are available this
plan is not to be recommended alto
gether.

The Hest Way to reach H,storx,

The idea of object teaching, the founda
ton of the Froebel system OF instruct ion
has IN recent years met with general accept
ance and adoption in almost every branch oil
education, high and low, with resultant ben
ehts which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammer and arithmetic are
now taught In this way SO far as practicable
and with marked advantage over the Ole
dry and abstract method. The practice Of
teaching history by making pilgrimages to
the very scenes where great historical event.
have occurred is an application of the SAINT
principle and much more valuable in the
way OF impressing The reality of history upon
the minds OF the young than any amount OF

One OF the best ways to develop civic prid,

PTOMAIN-POISONING.
Frequently Caused by Eating Foods
Containing the Gcrms--symp-
toms and Remedies.

This is term used popularity to
designate the symptoms due to poi
soning by damaged food. Like many
other popular terms-and not few
scientific ones--it is not STRICTLY COR
rect, for in the great majority of eases
OF MISUNDERSTANDING the offending mat
ter is not ptomain at all, but poison
elaborated by certain bacteria present
in the food. This poison may already
exist in the food. or IL may be produced
in the sufferers body after the bac-
terra have been admitted. In other
cases the food has not begun To putre-
fy. nor has il been contaminated with
poison-producing bacill. but is in itself
poisonous. This happens in mushroom
poisoning and in poisoning by certain
kinds of fish. says Youths Companion.
Preserved foods-canned. cold-stor-
age, pickled-are those most common
~ responsible for poisoning. since the
bacteria which make the poison or in
duce ptomain formation have then a
longer time in which to develop. The

Slopin& Shoulder Is in Vogue

saw them across the back of the neck
continually.
This IS fine exercise, but as soon as
the girl athlete can manage il she must
try not to touch her neck with the
handkerchief. She must hold her arms
behind her head, but the handkerchief
must not touch the neck There is a
certain shoulder exercise to be OBJ
tanned IN this manner which is very
reshing
Another exercise is to take the
handkerchief by one end and fling it
around her head. In the loose end she
must tie weight, and thus, with the
handkerchief in her hand, she sits and
filings it to the breezes. This waving
exercise is good practice for the shout
ders and it gives them a certain poiss
and agility, so to speak, which will
prove very useful in the search for
sioping shoulders.
Carrying dumb-bells in the hands
has also been recommended. But this
is tiresome. 1t does the work, but one
becomes weary. The dumb-bells which
are heavy are merely carried about,
not swung, the object being to exert
pull upon the arms and the Shout
ders.
Rowing is one way to make the shout
ders slope. The one who is exercising
must take the rowing position. This
as nearly everyone knows, is a sitting
one, with the knees slightly bent and
the arms out. In the absence of a
pair of oars one can grasp the table
legs or any other firm support for the
arms. The game is to pull long, long
pull and strong, strong pull, but not
long enough or strong enough to in
iure the back.
continuation of such exercises as
these will in time give curve to prac-
tically any pair of square shoulders.

An Artistic Arm Described

The proportions for an artistic arm
are as follows: Length of arm from
shoulder to finger tips, 2S 40 inches;
from shoulder to elbow, 1921 inches;
from elbow to finger tips, 1873. inches;
around the upper arm, 10 inches;
around forearm, S4 inches; around
elbow, 1875 inches, around wrist, 6
inches. One exercise for developing
the arms and adding to the shapeli-
ness of the shoulder requires a wand
or cane. which should be grasped by
the hands extended above the head.
Swing the arms and shoulders in uni
son, first forward, then backward. Ex-
tend the arms at fullest length until
they are nearly as possible at right an
giles with the body. Swing in this way
at the rate of about Is movements TO

n cure an Easter hat. The
- perfect shoulder is even of
more enduring Importance than the
Easter hat, for the lack of the latter
may be forgotten, but lack of the
former is ever present.
To be perfect the shoulder must
slope. Not made to slope by the use
of artificial pads introduced into ones
gown, but slope naturally so that per-
lection may be displayed with the low
cut evening gown. For the woman
to whom nature has given a pair of
square shoulders there is much hard
work and much self-denial if she
would acquire the curve that is pro-
nounced ideal.
The sloping shoulder takes us back
to the modes of 1880, when the sleeve
cap was fitted to the shoulder and
when my lady appeared very long of
neck The shoulder seams were in
those days cut very low to give that
slope, which was then considered Il
line of much beauty.
The beauty expert has solved the
problem of sloping shoulders without
the aid of the modiste and these are
some of the suggestions she offers for
accomplishing this much to be de-
sired result:
Take up your stand in front of the
mirror and throw out your chest.
Take a deep breath, and as you do so
try to lower your shoulders. Pull
them down, so TO speak, until, instead
of standing out square and warlike
they are curved and pretty
You cannot make them wholly slop-
ing at the first trial, but you can do
something for them. You can slope
them little. Draw the abdomen in,
throw the upper part of the chest out
as far as you can. Now, with a mighty
effort pull down the shoulders. throw
ing them back at the same time.
Am exercise to assist the square
shouldered girl is one that can be per-
formed with the pockethandkerchief.
Take the handkerchief by the ends
and twist the ends until the handker-
chief is a long, tough, string affair.
