EPIDEMIC PREVAILS
Eleven Cases Diphtheria and Two Of
Scarlet Fever in Paducah-Board
OF Health Takes Action.
(News-Democrat).

At the postponed meeting of the
Board of Health Saturday afternoon It
was admitted that the disease OF
'diphtheria has reached the epidemic
stage but that it was not as malignant
as it had been However, the disease
has spread in the last few days and
steps were taken to check its spread
The board adopted rule to stop
children " years old and under
from attending the moving picture
shows The managers Of these shows
will be notified of the boards action
and if they fail to obey the order they
will be subject to heavy fines. How
ever, the theatrical managers are as
anxious to abate the threatened cpl
demic as the health board, because il
is to their interest, hence there will
be no objection to the late rule of the
health board.
Health Officer H. p. Sights read his
monthly report for September part
OF which has been previously publish
ed in this paper There were "a
deaths during the month, Il colored
and IL white. There were If white
births and nine colored. In his re
port the health officer complimented
the board of public works for oiline
the streets and he was endorsed by
the board. He stated that great
deal of throat trouble was caused by
dust and the oil settled the dust
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
board that the schools should not be
closed owing to diphtheria, because
the members believed that the chill
dren were better protected in the
schools than on the streets.
At present there are II cases 81
diphtheria in the city and two cases
of scarlet fever There, has not beer
a single death from fiphtheria since
October /. There We're five in Sep

To Render Suet.

Many housekeepers are deferred
from the economical practice OF rem
gives with meat on'account of the dis.
agreeable odor which is likely TO re
suit through the house,
Yet beef suet is the best Of animal
fats for frying, and cannot be obtained
In any other way than by rendering il
at home.
To melt it without smell keep for
the purpose small pot with a tightly
fitting cover. and reduce the suet over
a simmering burner or flame turned
low as possible. Melted slowly In this
way in a covered pan no odor will re
suit.

are VIGOROUSLY bad choosers OF fruit,
Berries which looked well enough
on the market stall prove stale and
Shiny at the dinner or breakfast table.
Melons and cucumbers, outwardly de-
licious when opened prove to be
whited sepulchres. Oranges and grape
fruit are frequently overripe and
peaches green
The wise selection of fruit Is both
an art and matter Of experience, not
to be mastered In single day. On
| the other hand there are many little
points which. IL observed, not only
make the chances better OF obtaining
what one wants, but which train the
beginner to distinguish good from bad.
The two prime tests are weight and
fragrance. Ripe fruit has fresh. ripe
| odor which Is easily recognized when
attention is brought to bear on It. Der.
| ries, for example. lose this sweet aro-
ma on growing stale. and any that are
| found to be without 1t should be re.
| Garded with suspicion. Ripe peaches,
oranges, lemons, pears, cantaloupes,
etc, are also subtly fragrant.
Weight is another excellent test.
This applies to the various kinds of
melons to grape fruit and oranges, II
light. beware Of them. They are either
umripe and pithy or dry and juiceless.
Melons should be heavy and not
spongy. The latter means that they
are stale or overripe. Cucumbers
| (Which so many shoppers fail In buy
| ing) are never at their best, seldom
edible in fact II the rind yields like
sponge to the pressure of the fin.
| gers.
In selecting musk melons the sweet
est ones have a roughish rind, The
smooth streaks which divide the skin
| into sections should be yellowish. not
too green, to get the right degree of
ripeness Green streaks are sign OF
under-ripe cantaloupes.

If you must carry hot Goals from

a long-handled frying pan? They
cannot escape from the deep sides.
Save all bits of fat for two pur.
poses. The best can be clarified for
frying and the rest made up into
soap. Remember, In making soap that
a tablespoonful of salt added TO every

tell you these limitations don't have the combination
that's in Fes-Naptha soap, and won't wash clothes
the Fels-Naptha way. Here's where quit trading
with you"
We are sometimes asked by housewives
if Fels-N aptha soap is as good for washing
clothes in winter as in summer. Better, if
that is possible. !
The best thing about Fcls-Naptha is that
you don't have to boil the clothes either
winter or summer. And because boiling is
more disagrceable in winter, Fels-Naptha
is a greater blessing then. In the winter
doors and windows are closed, and the
nauseous odor of boiling clothes cannot
escape to the open air; then, too, steam
loosens and wrinkles wall paper. And
chapped hands are caused BY dipping them
in hot water and then exposing tothe cold.
You don't need hot water i'll washing
with Fels-Naptha. But be sure and use it
the Fels- Naptha way. Follow the dircg>
