Practical Hints.
SMALL, BUT IMPORTANT.


There is small detail in regard to
preserving the purity of food which
housewives have in their own hands If
they 80 choose, but as to which they are
most astoundingly careless and willing
to be imposed upon. This Is simply the
matter Of having the meat which is sent
home from the butchers properly wrap
ped up. It is the exception when this
is done. Generally single sheet OF
coarse paper under your steak or roast Ia
all you need expect. lit is nearby
delivery, the boy carries 1t in an open
basket through the streets, exposed to
all the dust and germs the four winds
may choose to season 1t with. Errand
boys have been known also to set down
the basket on the ground for few
minutes, play or other interruption, col
Letting little CRIME on the fingers with
which they hand the steak in at your
door. 1t would seem indeed that the
steak is the most helpless victim of this
maltreatment, since leg of mutton, for
instance, can be washed thoroughly, but
that process would impair the flavor of a
beefsteak.
Certainly meat is as hospitable to
germs as many other articles which are
more carefully guarded, and it is no
great hardship to require of the butcher
that he wrap it properly before 1t goes
out. If he is hurried, SO may any other
tradesman be. The coarse paper must
be very inexpensive compared to that
used, sometimes quite lavishly, in other
stores, and two sheets, and even string
tied around the meat would not appre-
Gladly lessen the profit on an order.
But his customers don't seem to care,
and why should one expect the butcher
to he philanthropist any more than the
baker and the manufacturer of Candida
bra? A number of customers might
combine in demanding complete
change in this custom, and carry their
point-but they won't, of course. How
ever, each housekeeper can insist on
what is certainly her right in this matter.

White lace should never be put away
without first being cleaned and repaired.
1t should then be laid in box lined with

with little powdered magnesia, the
paper being then wrapped around the

OF WASTE-BAsKETs.

A fad which after all seems to be
very sensible one is floor cushions for
household use. These cushions are
stuffed with straw or hair and are made
of denim, heavy chintz, ticking or repp.
They are very solidly stuffed and have a
heavy piece of cardboard placed on the
bottom to make them strong. When not
in use they can be placed in pile in the
corner of the room where they do not
take up much space.

That trains may be wrecked even

CINE and train crews being exhausted,
II was decided to stop until daybreak.
All sections OF the train were then
coupled. and the crews retired TO the

on the bridge.
About A. m. a snowsllde started up
