OF WASTE.

The proper disposal of waste prod
ucts presents a difficult problem. Do
not throw old bottles, tin cans, bro
ken vases, or dishes near the house,
as they become filled with water and
after a rain form a good breeding
place for mosquitoes. There should
be a metal pail in or near the kit
chen and all the garbage should be
put into this. Empty it every morn
ing and evening and wash it out, U.S.
ing boiling water and soap. Use an
old broom for washing the pail. If
garbage or refuse pals are kept clean,
there is no odor. Remember that a
wooden barrel is not a good thing to
use for garbage because the liquid
runs through. The removal of the
garbage is quite a difficult problem.
In small towns it is a good idea to
burn everything as far as possible. In
a small family all the garbage may be
burned in the kitchen range, or in
the furnace, if you have one. Use all
the coal ashes to fill holes in the road
or to make walks.
The quick removal of all waste
products is the first law of sanitation.
S~anitarians know that typhoid fever
need not exist. 1t is the result of a
little germ that enters the body in
food and drink, grows very quickly in
the small intestines, and is then
thrown off again in the excreta. Be
very careful not to throw these dis
charges on the ground, as they soak
through the earth and contaminate
the we'll water. Select a different
place every day to throw the slop
water or the dish water. Many a case
of sickness comes from unwashed
floors, unclean pals, deplorable out.
buildings. There are so many little
things that go to make good sanitary
conditions. Fire is the best disin.
fectant we have, SO burn the wastes
as quickly as possible.

RESULT OF TRAINING.

Pupils of the Seattle High School
cooking class recently prepared a spe-
cial dinner for members of the school
board. The result was so satisfac-
tory that Judge J. T. Ronald voiced
the sentiment of his colleagues on
the board by saying that every n
of the young women in the class was
a culinary artist. THAT dinner was
sure powerful good, and the young
man who can marry any n of those
young women will draw a prize.
When Seattle's schools can turn out
classes of that kind, it means a great
future for her and a reputation sur
passed by the women of no other CITY,"
The class is occasionally taken to the
markets and instructed in the art of
selecting the articles needed for cook
ing.
Young women taking the Domestic
Science Course at the Colorado Agri.
cultural College are required by Miss
Mary F. Rausch, the head of the de-
partment, to plan, prepare and serve
breakfasts, dinners, suppers and
luncheons. Each girl is given a GER
tain sum of money, plans the meal,
goes to the markets and buys the
food, cooks it and serves 1t.
Miss Helen e. Brown, of Pueblo,
Colo, recently served a st. Patrick's
supper to eight people at a cost of
one dollar.
The men was:
Dreamed Salmon in Shells
Stuffed Potatoes Peas in Crustades
Pickles, Butter, Parker House Rolls
Fort Collins Cake Snow Pudding
Sliced Lemon Tea
The cost of the raw material was
as follows:
Dreamed salmon, 1917 cents; stuffed
potatoes, 6% cents; peas in ~crustades,
% cents; pickles, 5 cents; butter, 10
cents; Parker House rolls, 81 cents;
Fort Collins cake, 13 cents; snow pud-
ding, 1914 cents; icing, 3 cents; pars-
ley, 1 cent; sugar, 4 cents.
Instruction of this kind is so prac-
tical and valuable that it is a pleas
ure to see the rapid progress made
in it's application.

creates an acid which many stomachs

There was nothing done toward revising
the tariff after this until 1870 Gen.
Schenck, the chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee Of that session, re-
ported a measure with revision downward
as its keynote. The free traders opposed
II because they did not think II went far
enough. II was soon discovered that the
measure could not stand on It's own
merits. so IL was coupled onto the inter-
nal revenue bill, and In that shape IT went
through the House with flying colors- It
did not encounter serious obstruction
thereafter, and was signed by President
Grant IN July, 1870 There was additional
tariff legislation in 1872. during the con-
