WILL PRESERVE FOOD LONG.
New Method That Promises to Give
the Best Results

An ingenious method Of preserving
food has recently been devised which
is based on the fact that powdered
gelatin, or thin sheets of the same
material, not only do not spoil, but
are capable Of protecting incorporated
substances from bacteria, moisture,
and other agencies which bring about
decomposition. Thus to make a con
centrated beef extract, tea or coffee,
extract, soup, etc. the LIQUID is mixed
hot with l per cent of primary gela-
tin, which differs from the commercial
article in not having the gluelike taste
Of the latter.
After cooling a jelly is formed. and
this is cut into thin films and dried by
a current of cold air until it becomes
brittle. When this condition is reach
ed the sheets are then reduced to a
fine powder, which will keep indefn-
itely. While it will absorb moisture
ii does not do so to a degree to Oc-
CasiOn decompo and the moist
ure is subsequently given off in dry
air. The powder, while likely to cake,

ready for use. If heated above the

Attractive Evening Wraps.

The majority of evening wraps for
the coming winter are to be longer
than those worn last year. There Will
be more bright colors seen. and satin,
brocade, velvet and embroidered
cloths will later take the place OF the
all-white wrap which was SO popular
few months past.
The fur-trimmed evening wrap Is
again immensely fashionable, and as
is the case now when one or two I'M
usually smart models are made up In
a certain new and, at the same time,
effective style, they will frequently be
initiated and copied in many different
WAYS. On some models there is only
a deep collar of white lynx or sable
with no other fur trimming to the
wrap, but again are seen models on
which there is not only the deep FUR
cape or standing collar, but the sides
of the cloak will be faced with it.

sign the immortal declaration of in

! Not White Mans Country 5

Especial Correspondence

Filth an Opposition to Progress.
This calls to mind the southern
statesman who vigorously opposed all
measures of sanitary reform because
he believed that disease was the de-
tense the Creator had provided for mis-
people. He argued that yellow fever
was better protection against white
invasion than stone wall built
around his country; that it were bet
ter for his people to remain in the
filth of their surroundings and be un-
molested than to make themselves
clean and suffer white neighbors.
Such a policy, If followed out. would
certainly cause this fellow and his ad-
herents to be swept up with their rub
bish and disposed of as unceremoni-
ously as garbage is treated. The marcn
of progress is too swift for it's advance
to be checked by barricades Of filth.
Odd Customs of South America.
The South American lawmakers and
officials create many odd rules for the
government of their countrymen. The
matter of passenger service on the
railway offers an instance. On one
line the distinction between first and
second class passengers is the wear
ing of shoes. No barefooted persons
are allowed in the best coaches. A
well dressed man, carrying a baby
boy, was made to lride in the second
class apartment because the infant
had no shoes on. He was told that he
could go first class, but the child could
not.
Another odd custom which is sup
posed to be distinctive of gentility IS
the wearing of cravats. At any pub
for the masses-the only men that are
turned away are those who have no
neckties. A man may have on a white
shirt and collar, and patent leather
shoes, but the tie is the badge OF re-
spectability without which none can
enter. The matter of taxes is reduced
to a science. All beggars must pay a
tax for that privilege. All professional
men, such as engineers, dentist, doc
tors and teachers, can be distinguish
ed from the ordinary citizen because
they wear ring on the first finger
of the left hand. One of the best
customs in vogue, and one which
would work as a great public convent
ence if practiced in the United States
is the rule of allowing no more people
In q ctraot COR than can comfort a bly
be seated.
Much has been said of the polite
ness of South Americans, and in the
main they are deserving of their repu
taton in this respect, but one canno,
help noticing how groups of men and
boys obstruct the sidewalks. No mat
ter how many ladies may pass. these
loungers obstruct the passage and
drive all pedestrians into the street
