LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was a good deal of what appear
ed to be ball passing. to borrow q phrase
from the ball field. at the meeting today
of the stock exchange, when gas stock
was called. What was done was on q
higher level than the closing figures OF
yesterday, as a sale was recorded al
SIN
A block of one hundred shares sold foI
81. and before the close similar lot was
offered at 511a. The bid at the close was
o'A and the asking price, 57ss: There
was some inquiry as to what would be bid
for options, and the best figure in that
connection was SIN. while the asking
price was point in advance.
The seller of yesterday did not seem
TO be much interested in the, trading. al
though 1t was rather expected that he
came from another source. and 1t did no,
appear that there was more behind it.
After call an option on one hundred
shares sold for 57&.

stock there was nothing in the balance

aggregate Of the deposits as compared
with the figures furnished in the same
way three months ago. In the case of
some institutions gains appear, and in
others a falling off. but the total differ
ence Is not large.
During the past three months a por-
ton of the public money has been with
drawn from deposit, which accounts in
part for the loss. but there has also been
a decrease in the individual deposits In
some cases.
Altogether the showing made is one Of
strength, and the reserves In cash are
fully up to and in many cases beyond
the legal requirements.

HEALTH OF THE FAMILY.

This is few words of advice to
the housewife. After all, the health
of the different members of the fam
lily concerns you most. The family
circle constitutes your home. Your
very life is bound up in the health
and happiness of the different mem
bers of the family circle. Let us
reason together. The diseases you
are most afraid of are diphtheria,
scarlet fever, and tuberculosis. There
are many more, some of which are
infectious, and others are not. All
these diseases can positively be pre-
vented. The first three mentioned
are perhaps most to be dreaded. They
are caused by little specific organ
isms, commonly spoken of as germs,
They cannot be caused by anything
else. You can not have these dis
eases without the germs any more
without sowing seed. Recent inves
tigation has shown that these germs
gain entrance into the body largely
through the food. Please remember
also that these little organisms thrive
best in unclean places; in stagnant
water. in dirty. damp cellars, In over
ripe fruit. meat and vegetables, in
dirty milk bottles. and in every place
where there are conditions suitable
for their life to develop. Milk is
probably the most prolific source OF
disease of any food we eat. not so
much because of milk being unwhole-
as from the germs that get into the
milk after It is drawn. The greatest
of care should be exercised at the
time the milking is done to see that
no dirt gets into the milk. and then
to keep Il sweet and wholesome. 1t
must positively be kept at a low
temperature most OF the time until
st is used. MIX furnishes the best
possible media for germs of all kinds
to grow in providing the conditions
are favorable for their development.
You must avoid these conditions.
This can be done by seeing 10 1t that
all cans and milk bottles are thor
oughly scalded; that the milk is
drawn from the COW with great care.
and then the milk kept at such a
temperature that the germs will not
develop.
Meat that has been tainted should
never be used for food. IL becomes

more tender by "ripening," but is at
tended with the danger that it may
contain the deadly products of GER
tain dangerous bacteria which will
result in serious poisoning.
Ptomaine poisoning usually devel-
ops, however, not from meat, fruit
vegetables or milk that has become
unwholesome within few hours, as
in the case of ordinary souring milk,
or within few days, as in the case
of meats. On the contrary, it is
found in foods that have been kept
in refrigerators. or by weak preserv-
atives for a long time. The particular
dangerous organisms that cause pto-
maine poisoning are more certain to
develop under these conditions.
In conclusion, see that the food is
always fresh, clean and wholesome;
drink only fresh water. If you are
buying milk from a dairyman, find
out how that milk is being handled
Use hot water freely on cooking uten-
sils; sapolio and elbow grease in the
corners; keep well acquainted with
the bath tub; remember that health,
wealth and happiness are summed up
in the familiar aphorism, "Cleanli-
ness is next to Godliness."

THE SPRING DIETARY.

This is the time of the year when
be covered to the full depth at once,
We need to make a change in our
dietary, diminishing the amount of
heat producing foods, as fats, starch
es and sugars, and adding the green
vegetables which contain a great deal
of water. In the spring we lose our
desire for fat foods and crave acids
and green vegetables, but many
thoughtless housekeepers pursue the
same routine for the table both win
ter and summer.
Nature provides for warm weather
vegetables containing a large amount
of water, very little of the heat pro-
ducing elements, and enough of the
mineral salts to keep the system in
good condition. Animal fat contains
more of the heat producing elements
than any other article of diet, so
should be used sparingly excepting in
the cold weather.
The alkaline salts which are con-
tanned in green vegetables make them
most valuable as a spring medi-
cine. Our digestion is sluggish dur
ing the spring. which is natures way
of telling us to eat less concentrated
foods, so we turn to the fruits and
vegetables, which are especially bene-
ficial and invigorating at this time.
OF the spring vegetables spinach.
asparagus and rhubarb are especially
valuable. Rhubarb is a very valu-
able addition to the spring dietary.
as it contains a large amount of OK
alic acid. which assists nature a great
deal in preserving the normal con-
dition of the blood. An abundance of
cold water should be taken between
meals aside from that contained in
the food.
