FACTS CONCERNING
CITY MILK SUPPLY

Items of vital Importance to every
housewife in Los Angeles are the sani-
tary conditions of the dairies of the
city, and of especial interest the clean
liness of that special dairy from which
she obtains her family milk supply and
the relative purity of it's product.
Twice a month City Bacteriologist
R. B. Durfee files with the city health
office a report showing the condition
of all dairies examined by his depart
ment during the two weeks previous,
and a copy of this semi-monthly re-
port, beginning today, will be found in
this department the morning after fill
ing.
The basis on which these tests and
examinations are made is an ordinance
that allows 100000 bacteria to each
centimeter before declaring the milk
impure, a larger proportion revealing
either ill-health among the herd or
carelessness in handling. 1t is need
less to state that not all the dairies in
Los Angeles are examined each fort
night.
The following report was filed yester-
day by Mr.. Durfee, and shows the
average of bacteria found in the milk
ar the dairies mentioned:

PARAS0L RENOVATION

If a girl has an old parasol that has
seen its best days, she can turn 1t INTO
an effective looking new one by appli-
uueing to it a border of lowered Gre
tonne or chintz.
Cut out the design to form wreath
effect, leaving the flowers and foliage
distinct Baste it to the parasol ana
buttonhole to the material with SILK,
as near the color OF the flowers as
possible.
A pink linen parasol that had faded
slightly was refurbished with an eight
inch border of pink and yellow roses
cut from furniture cretonne. These were
made more distinct and striking by
doing the buttonholing in black mer-
cerized cotton.
An old pongee parasol cover was
made extremely stylish by using on 1t
Greek key design cut from the rem
nants of a light brown rajah frock. The
figures were buttonholed with darker
tone of brown cotton.
A plain, dark blue parasol was maze
to look much finer than when neW Dut
cutting linked oval medallions from an
old light blue silk frock. The medal
lions were about an inch wide at the
bottom tapering to quarter lnch at
the top In alternate groups TWO or
three of the links were used being ar
ranged around the lOWSl Pal VI ~
narasol as an irregular border. The
medallions were attached to the siik
with narrow dark blue soutache braid
on each edge.
Such a border could be used with
good effect by cutting the silk for the
interlaced figures a little wider and
working graduated dots through the
center to match the color with which
the edges are appliqued.
3 If the covering of the parasol has
worn too much to be used, the frame
can he recovered with white or colored
linen. finished with a border of soul
tache braid in graduated widths, the
widest at the edge and the narrowest
toward the tip. Select a dark colored
braid for a light parasol and white or
a light tone of the material for dark
linen cover Such a border is. quickly
worked and very stylish looking.

CRAZE EoR VARIETY

IF YOU have found one good thing
that is not enough. No matter now
good it is, the next must be dllIerent;
lot of sins have been committed
in the name of variety, especially IN
the business of furnishing a house
The paper chosen for one room may
"Now let's have yellow in the next
room" says the householder, "or pos
sibly red" The result is a choppy
looking house, which seems small ana
cramped. The definite contrast pc
tween the two rooms makes each look
small and the whole house crowded.
Suppose if you will that these two
rooms open together, and then imagine
that they have been papered with the
same sort of paper or with two slight
ly different shades of the same color
rich green shading into a little lighter
green-the effect is at once that or a
large ROOM One at once feels the in
timation of a broad eXpanse. This eff
feet is even more marked when the
paper used is the same in both rooms.
But very few people have the cour-
age to do this. They can't let well
enough alone. Perhaps it takes more
repression than they can muster, to
choose one thing, when they might
have two. But If they would try a
little of the same principles in fur
nishing their houses that they do in
choosing their wearing apparel they
would meet with the same gratifying
results.

BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

Most of us think of law as a hard,
unfeeling thing, and of people as much
more kindly and merciful, observes
Ruth Cameron in the st. Louis Even
ing Telegram.
And yet the law gives everyone the
benefit of the doubt. Every man is
deemed innocent until he has been
proved guilty.
Now do people do that?
Do you do that?
When you hear that some girl was
seen going to disreputable hotel with
a man do you at once condemn her, or
do you say to yourself that there may
be circumstances and explanations that
you are not in a position to know; in
short, give her the benefit of the doubt?
That's about all gossip is-referring
to possibilities or probabilities as prov
en- facts, refusing to give people the
benefit of the doubt
In a town where 1 once lived there
was much talk about certain girl
And all of this talk 1 found by in
quiry was founded on just these facts.
A middle-aged man used to come to
her house quite frequently to take her
out automobiling.
She was at home only week ends. The
rest of the time she spent in a large
city about hundred miles away. What
was she doing? "Well the family
say" my informant responded, that
she is studying music at the conserva-
torv"
Despite the supercilious suggestive
accent they put upon the "say," as far
as l could make out, no one had any
special grounds for doubling that fact.
Next, the family did not appear to
have a great deal of money, and yet
the girl wore very nice clothes.
Lastly, she was very pretty-always
more or less an indictment, especially
in the eyes of women with less attract
i've daughters.
This was the whole case against her
Her decriers knew nothing of the man.
an elderly cousin or an old friend of the
family for all they knew.
The doubt in that case was so large
that it seemed to me to much over
shadow the likelihood of evil.
And yet those women-some of them
women who would be astonished if they
heard themselves called anything but
good-dared to refuse to give her the
benefit of the doubt.
On that basis they dared to consider
her guilt as settled thing and to re-
fer to it as SUCH
Can you not think of some time IN
your life when circumstances placed
you in such a position that anyone who
cared to think evil might have con-
demned you, although you were per-
fectly innocent?
You wanted the benefit of the doubt
then. You may want it as badly again
sometime.
The best way to deserve it is to give
# to others

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
Stuffed Onions

Stuffed onions, cooked in papers to
retain their homely SAVIOR, are very
toothsome Parboil the onions, throw
them into cold water, and when cool
remove the centers with an apple
corer. Fill them with piquantly fla
vored sausage meat, wrap them In but
tered papers, place them on the rack
of a pan containing an inch or water
and bake in a quick oven for three
quarters of an hour. Remove from the
papers for serving, sprinkle them with
pepper and salt and serve with melted
butter.
Wash, drain and dry the dates, stone,
and cut them in small pieces. Spread
one cupful of these over platter and
sprinkle with lemon juice. Whip suf-
ficient cream to make two large cup
fuls and sugar to sweeten; fold in the
stiffly whipped whites of two eggs ana
stir in lightly the pieces of date. Ar
range in deep glass dish in alternate
layers with macaroon or sponge cake
crumbs which have been slightly
moistened with a little fruit juice, or
serve in glass dish by itself with
delicate nut cake.
Date Sandwiches
Mix equal quantities of date pulp
and finely chopped English walnut
meats Moisten slightly with a little
soft butter or sweet cream, spread
the mixture smoothly on thinly sliced
bread, cover with another slice, and
press lightly to make them hold to-
gether.
Date Sandwich No.
Mix equal amounts of date pulp and
finely chopped preserved ginger, moist
en- with a little of the ginger syrup,
and spread over lightly buttered bread.
Cover with, another slice, and finish as
for other sandwiches.
When Cooling Pudding
To protect cooling pudding and jel-
lies from dust and germs while stand

THE WISE HousEkEEPER

The wise housekeeper knows that
table linen which has been spotted
with egg should be soaked in cold
water before being sent to the laundry
Boiling water sets the stain and makes
1t much harder to remove.
sha also knows that if she will rest
he. feet on a foot stool when sewing
ss:s will sit much straighter without
nosJcing that she is making an effort
to do so.
The wise housekeeper knows the
value and convenience of a supply of
corks of different sizes. A quarters
worth will provide an assorted supply
that will last long time, and will pay
for themselves many times over not
only in the comfort and convenience
they afford, but in the actual saving
of material that would be otherwise
wasted when the cork is lost. Corks in
bottles of oil or vinegar or other
liquids are often badly broken when
removed with a corkscrew and if a
supply of corks is not at hand the
contents will be often lost.

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
Adjust Kitchen Furniture

A womans form often shows age
before her face. This can be greatly
remedied by having your kitchen fur
niture adjusted to suit your height.
Working in STOPPING position causes
a fatty lump to form at the lower part
of the back of the neck, which is con-
sidered an indication of age. My height
is five feet eight inches. The top
of my stove of 35 inches high, and L
am having my sink, placed the same
height as my table, If you stand
erect while doing your kitchen work
you will be younger IN form, face and
feelings.

TO A KATYDID

Somewhere in the clover.
When the twilight falls,
There's a gypsy rover
Who forever calls
In an aggravating,
Nervous kind of cry,
Just reiterating:
Summer goes. Good bye!
Nonsensel Who believes you?
In the clover hid.
What is 1T deceives you,
Gypsy Katydid?
Bees are making honey,
Birds are making song;
You are being funny,
or my guess is wrong.
Still you call, and still you
Warn me it is so:
Tell me, Gypsy, will you,
How you chance to know
You're an arch alarmer.
In the clover lost;
Quoth your friend, the farmer,
Six more weeks of frost!
Careful, little hinter.

Watch out lest Old Winter
Happen on your track!

Catching at a clew,
Finds out just what Katy
Did. good bye to you.
