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 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.

W VIZ modern origin. In the MT
teenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles measures were taken, notably
by Venice, to prevent the intro
duction of the plague from the East
by making the vessels wait forty days
before discharging their cargo, animate
and inanimate; hence the origin of quar-
Rntine.
But it is little more than half a cen
fury since quarantine was established
on any thing like scientific basis, and
quarantine is the national way to pre-
vent the introduction of disease into the
country. The number of lives saved
and the amount of sickness which is
thus prevented is incalculable. Epi-
denies of cholera have been kept in
allegiance, attacks of dread fevers have
been stayed, fatal loathsome plaques,
bred in the pestilent hotbeds of disease
IN the East, have been barred
+ TO learn what an enlightened QUAR-
antine has done for the peoples OF
Europe and America, it is only neces-
sary to turn back the pages of history
and read Of the depopulation which these
epidemics occasIoned in centuries gone by.
Measures of Prevention
The measures of prevention have also
been inaugurated by States, by cities,
towns and villages. Health boards have
been established and records of births
and deaths have been kept by them
Diseases have been held in check by the
necessity of reporting all cases of a con-
tagious nature, in order that measures
could be taken TO isolate and circum-
scribe them, and the carelessness oil
individuals has been curbed, SO that

MEMORIAL DAY" SUGGESTIONS

She is certainly an artist with cheap
meats. She SINNERS her corned-beef
for hours, and when it is done she
serves it 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 king. 1t
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 Calls Liver
She knows just how to cook calf's
liver. 1t 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 a minute after it ceases
being rare. If fried plain, the slices are
dredged with salt, pepper and flour. 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 fish-ball is another cheap delicacy.

COOK. When the potatoes
are done she drains all,
mashes until there is not a
sign of Jumps, beats it fine,
adds butter and one beaten
egg. She shapes in rather
small balls and fries in deep
fat.
Brains and sweetbreads
Brains and sweetbreads
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
sailed 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
simmering point, where it
stays for twenty minutes.
Boiling-or anything like it
will tougher the fiber, as
will too long cooking. The
sweetbreads or brains are
into cold water to harden,
and membrane carefully

n UCCESS is not always certain
d when the young bride begins
~ keeping house, and this troubles

III OSSEOS Is NOT always certain
Co when the young bride begins
x y keeping house, and this troubles
her, for she wishes to know be-
torehand exactly how things turn out.
She knows women who cook as placidly
as they eat candy and always have good
luck. She has heard other women
sheer at measuring anything, and above
all to level off the measurements.
he sole argument advanced by these
women was the waste of time" The
young housekeeper computed the extra
time used in making a dish the second
time because of failure the first time,
and the added waste of material, or per-
haps the disagreeable feeling of being
compelled to eat failures, and she knew
the saving was not on the side of haste.
The question of level measurements
Bet her thinking. She discovered that
reliable recipes count on level measure
ments. Then she found distinct rela-
ton between teaspoons and tablespoons,
and tablespoons and cups. For the first
time she noticed the great diversity in
the sizes of both kinds of spoons, even
for table use
rhe Starting Point
Finally, she reached the starting point,
snd learned that a correct teaspoon
holds sixty drops and is one-third of a
correct tablespoon. Next, she found
that sixteen tablespoonfuls make cup
ful. She knew now why cake had too
much flour sometimes, and too much
butter at other times, for her cooking
cups were not exactly alike. As soon
as possible, she bought two measuring
cups, one divided into fourths and one
INTO thirds. She grew to prefer measur-
Ing half or fourth Of cupful of butter
by the tablespoonful.
A rounding tablespoonful meant any,

which help to form refinement of char
acter. Children who are left too much
to others are sure to acquire bad habits,
for children are very quick to observe
and to initiate those with whom they
associate.
Early Training Necessary
Mothers who are really interested in
the welfare of their children are very
watchful over them, correcting their
faults gently but firmly and not excus-
ing bad manners on the plea of childish
ignorance, or that these faults may be
overlooked now, as children will OUT

thing allowed by the cook, until she dis
covered it meant something very definite
two level spoonfuls Ounces of but
ter always set her to guessing, until she
measured as we'll as weighed a pound
of butter. This set her to wondering
about flour and sugar and other things.
She was surprised to find that things
equal in weight need not measure the
same.
Useful Table
TO save time in copying recipes in the
future she made T. stand for teaspoon
full, Tb. for tablespoonful and C. for
cupful. RIB meant rounding table
spoonful, HTb. heaping tablespoonful
and Ssp. meant saltspoonful

Memorial Day Luncheon Table

From the chandelier hang festoons
of red, white and blue paper, from
which small flags wave. These festoons
are bought in small fiat packages and
pull out to surprising lengths. At each
place is a small Confederate and Union
military cap, to which the name-card is
attached. Tiny red, white and blue
flags are tucked among the cakes and

years ago. Now, the woman who lives
fifty miles from fresh fruit will, out of
her storeroom, bring canned fruits that
will be used, or form the foundation,
for the finishing touch to the dinner or
luncheon. And not only desserts can
be formed of both fresh and canned
fruits, but those delicious connections
known as fruit cocktails" that are
welcomed as an accompaniment to the
luncheon
Then there are fruit mixtures which
are having enthusiastic followers. When
dressed with vinegar and oil, lemon
juice and oil, or any tart dressing, it is
a salad; when dressed with sweet
mixture it is called a compete. Do not
make the mistake of serving a compete
as a salad
Allow halved canned peach for each
guest and arrange in the center of a
dish, placing slice of banana in >each
center, after dipping each slice in lemon
juice. Arrange halved sliced pineapple
overlapping each other about the
peaches, and outside of this layer place
canned cherries or halved, seeded Ma
laga grapes Simmer one pint of the
peach, pineapple and cherry juices until
like strained honey; add little lemon
juice to give zest, and when it cools
pour over the fruit and let all stand to
become chilled before serving.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD HASH
To many palates the taste of good
hash is wholly unknown because, though
such a common dish, few cooks UNDER
stand the art of making it and do not
appreciate that the ordinary mixture
of meats and vegetables, masquerading
and surround with border of peas.
