PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
The Best
Sickness

communicable sickness should not be all lowed to spread from one family to an other or to members of the same family.
 Disinfection has been carried on sys- tematically, and vaccination has teduced smallpox from a scourge to only com paratively few cases The air of cities and towns is prevented from becoming impure because of noxious fumes and smothering smoke from factories. Inn proved ventilation of public buildings has been instituted, the water supplies sewage has been safeguarded.
 The construction of schools and the care of children attending them has been supervised It is true that all these methods of sanitation, and even the car rying them into effect, leave much to be desired. Nevertheless, all these ways of preventing disease and improving the health of communities have reduced the death rate incredibly. Fifty years ago it was said that the deaths in Great Britain which by care could have been prevented averaged more than a third of those that occurred, and the propor-. ton of those who did not die because of their illness, but suffered more or less during their lives, was equally great.
 Individual Responsibility
 What has been done to preserve life and health by Nation and State can be exceeded if each individual feels his responsibility in bringing his own health to as great state of perfection as pos sible, and in surrounding those who are in the family with the best conditions. The health of the community will be greatly bettered when each one realizes the great importance of this duty. and

grow them in time. Careless faults soon become fixed habits which are difficult to eradicate, because they are followed almost mechanically, and in later life these habits may stamp the possessor as unrehned and may prove very serious bar to social success.
 Manners, refinement, rules of good breeding are much discussed in these days, and we judge people severely by the breach of traditionary laws, and choose our society and even our friends by the touchstone of courtesy.
 Parents and instructors are not the only teachers. They begin the work which we must make perfect ourselves. The rules which apply to the training of children apply equally to their elders. The Basic Law of Good Manners
 The first rule in social customs is to do nothing that may be disagreeable to others; therefore, at the table, we'll bred person is careful to avoid fidgeting about in his chair, or crumbling his bread, or playing with the silver or other articles; he Is careful to eat slowly and with his mouth closed, and not to talk with food in his mouth, nor does he make any sounds when eating or drink ing.
 He does not draw his chair up so close to the table that he is compelled to lean back in 1t to keep any sort of position, nor does he lean his elbows on the table, nor does he talk loud and monopolize the conversation. Above all, he does not talk on disagreeable subjects, nor tell of unpleasant, grue- some incidents or shocking accidents.
 Good manners require that one should be pxnctual at meals, and that one should not read at the table In these days of haste this may seem an arbi- trary rule at the breakfast hour, when one is tempted to glance at the news of the day, but true courtesy can never mean hurry or self-absorbed indifference to others.

 Italian Dressing
 Mix three tablespoonfuls of olive-oil with one of vinegar and ore-haIf of 1emon-juice. Then add one-hah tea spoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonfu1 of white pepper, one-fourth teaspoonful grated onion and one-half teaspoonful of grated horseradish. Letz&and for an hour and then strain out the onion and horseradish.
 Fruit Compete Dear to the ear of children, women and men Is the word dessert" It mat ters not how delicious the substantial menu preceding has been, there Is more or less mental speculation on what the dessert will consist of. Grown-ups dis word held for them; the delight with which 1t was hailed when brought to the table, no matter how simple the con- coction served. :,
 The fruits that are offered fresh and canned during the year make this part of the housekeeper's work more easily disposed of than was the case few years ago. Even the advertisements along these lines can scarcely be ap- preciated until one turns back the leaves of history and scans the limited list of desserts that closed the dinner of twenty

and fats and meats form the right amount for the growth, health and main tenance of the bodies of those who sit at the table and partale of them With the growth of education along these lines, the housekeeper who neglects these facts is well nigh criminal
 The amount of nourishment that should be eaten by each to preserve health and keep the bodily powers at the best is another problem to be met. The public authorities are exercising more supervision than ever before, and laws are enacted to ensure the purity of foodstuffs, but on the housekeeper de- pends the most subtle and delicate elab- oration of the problem. Many individ- uals are suffering from dyspepsia and chronic stomach disturbances because of the thoughtlessness which characterizes the family cooking and the provisioning of the family board.

that his neglect in carrying out that which he knows will conduce to his own and others health is a menace to his neighbor,
 This ignorance which he has failed to dispel may cost him his life and the lives of preventive medicine should be taken up seriously by all families.
 Home Sanitation
 The future welfare of the family de bends upon the home which has been selected for it. The house should be situated in such position that light, drainage and air should be of the best. The soil upon which the house IS built, its ventilation, its plumbing, its cellar and the location of its rooms all come in for an enlightened consideration. Then, too, the best ways of furnish ing the rooms that they shall be healthy to live in comes in for its share of in telligent decision, as we'll as what to use and what to avoid in decoration. The sleeping arrangements should be seen to with care, as the rooms in which so much time is spent should be those which are best adapted to promote the comfort and health of those occupying them. These are only a few points which need to be determined about the house and its surroundings.
 Sane Diet
 The houselleeper and home-maker is called upon to decide the diet of the family. It happens often that the healthy nature of the menu is the last thing which the purveyor of the family considers. The tastes of the children and other members of the family are the governing principles upon which the marketing and the cooking are to be decided.

If the directions given in the follow ing recipes for the various kinds oi hash be strictly observed, the result in each instance will be most satisfactory shift of dish called, for want of an other name, hash, has only met with scant welcome on the family table:
 coRNED-BEEF HASH
 This Is, perhaps, the most usual and at the same time one of the most sayory kinds of hash. To make 1t, allow one part of cold boiled potato cut into s1nall cubes to two parts of cold corned-beef chopped fine; mix we'll and season to taste with salt and pepper. Put a large tablespoonful of butter in fryine-pan; when melted turn the meat and potato mixture into 1t and add enough boiling water to moisten thoroughly. Cover closely and set on a hot part of the range for five minutes, being careful not to let it scorch. When crust is formed on the bottom, turn and brown the upper side; then transfer to hot platter and send to the table at once.
 MUTTON HASH WITH GREEN PEAS
 Chop the lean portions of cold roast or boiled mutton fine. Cook in enough cold water to cover, adding, if the flavor is liked, little minced onion Bring slowly to the boiling point, then move the vessel to cooler part of the range and simmer until the meat is very tender Season with salt, pepper and butter, thickening with flour Have ready; stewed peas, fresh or canned, seasoned for the table, also sufficient number of buttered rounds of toast heap helping of the hash in the center of each round

Domestic Hygiene

 But it is little more than half cen on any thing like scientific basis, and quarantine is the national way to pre- vent the introduction of disease into the county. The number of lives saved and the amount of sickness which Is thus prevented is incalculab1e.

right for uncooked food; if it Drowned in forty seconds, it was right for cooked food-which simply needs browning and warming. She noticed that when the temperature is right, almost no fat is absorbed by the food and she felt cer- tain that, at last, she had found tse way.
 croqusttes
 Delicious croquettes now seemed pos sible. Half the battle remained, how ever, for she did not know how to make croquettes creamy inside and of perfect shape She had her ideal-frm outside and almost melting inside. She knew and how to keep 1t in Finally, on a venture, she put in as much sauce as she dared, put the mixture on the ice till firm, shaping 1t without handling and working like lightning. When they went into the fat they were still cold and firm; when they came out they were delicate brown, firm outside and as creamy inside as even she desired. The egg coating had cooked as soon as it touched the fat. and the work was done.
 Using Left-overs
 Left-overs are a passion with the little lady. Sometimes they go into the baker Tn layers with white sauce and buttered crumbs; sometimes it is cheese and while rice, chopped meat and tomatoes are seasoned and packed into parboiled green peppers. Whether the peppers are dipped into batter and fried in deep fat, or baked plain in the oven, depends upon circumstances.

 Keal-time Conversation
 Another serious fault is to reserve mealtime for the discussion of disagree able family or business matters which may require settlement, but should be discussed elsewhere, otherwise the peace and contentment of the meal IS destroyed, for good digestion waits truly on peace and cheerful talk as well as on appetite, and health depends on both Using the Napkin

Soup is taken from the side of the spoon, and stieklers on etiquette claim that when taking up the soup in the spoon, the spoon should have a movement away from one, not toward one. It is bad form to try to take up the last drop of soup in the soup plate or to tilt the plate Disposins of the Fork and Knife

 Brains and sweetbrsads
 Brains and swcetbreads she does to a turn. They are served delicate and ten der, instead of like pieces of rubber. This is her unfail- ing rule: For an hour or longer they are soaked in cold water to draw out the blood, the water being changed several times, and salted slightly to hasten the process of blanching. A lit tie vinegar is also. good. After they are white she puts them into cold water and brings it slowly to the sirnmering point, where it stays for twenty minutes.

She is certainly an artist with cheap meats. She simmers her corned-beef for hours, and when 1t is done she serves 1t hot for dinner that night The next day it appears in thin cold slices for luncheon, and some morning there is corned-beef hash fit for a king. It has equal parts of cold diced potatoes and coarsely chopped meat seasoned with bit of butter and tiny speck of salt, moistened with milk and Drowned in the oven.
 Cooking Calfs Liver
 She knows just how to cook calf S liver. It must always be parboiled for just one minute, the fat must be just hot enough to cook but no hotter, and it must not cook minute after it ceases being rare. If fried plain, the slices are dredged with salt, pepper and four. If stewed, a nice brown gravy is made and strips of liver cooked in the gravy. Fresh mushrooms are sometimes added. When the strips are rolled in thin sweet bacon, fastened with toothpick and fried, they are delicious.
 The fsh-ball is another cheap delicacy.

Personal Care
 How few are the individuals who make an attempt to live hygienically. Each ones responsibilities are two-fold those which relate to himself and those which relate to the community. He should keep himself we'll by diet, clothing, exercise and the avoidance of exposure and excess in every direction. If he is a victim of disease, he should take care that he does not communicate this disease to others.
 The consumptive who expectorates in public places, or carelessly in his own home, is guilty of putting others in peril, because the germ of the disease is in that saliva The man who has con- tagious fever in his family and goes forth to meet others without taking pre- cautions which will prevent him from carrying the germs with him, is guilty of imperilling the life of his neighbor.
