The Cold STORAGE Business

1 have been reading a good deal con-
corning the cold storage of meat and
eggs and as the amount of meat and
eggs is simply fabulous, 1T is so great,
l have been wondering if 1 have not
eaten some. of this rare-ripe meat (and
eggs, in the days that have flown past
and behind me? How it may affect other
minds, 1 am not able to say, but 1t Is
not a pleasant remembrance to me.
Before cold storage became fashion
able 1 know there were many epicures
who had their game and fowls hung up
by the feet until the meat got mellow %
The birds and fowls were not stripped
of the feathers and the insides were not
drawn, so the meat absorbed all that
could be soaked in from the entrails.
/ am too old-fashioned and know too
much about tainted meat to favor that
proceeding, and 1 don't care how cold
the beef and hog meat are kept. IT Is
in the very nature of things that meat
and eggs a year old are not very good
for the human stomach.
Meat kept a long time in refrigerators
will take on a very aged look, and If 1
can't get a bit that I know to be fresh
and from a butcher that l believe to be
honest, l would rather have some tea and
toast and watch for biddy's cacl1le to get
a fresh egg.
may be in error, but feel sure those
cold storage eggs do look doubtful after
they have lain a whole twelve-month.
Eggs are curious creeters," for they
have a fashion Of settling down on the
bottom side and sticking there even when
they are fairly good for cooking pur-
poses. They are certainly not fresh when
they stick to shells
When 1 recollect how many thousands
of hungry people are swallowing down
what is put before them, in lodging
houses, restaurants, etc, this very day, l
am ready to petition for law to have
the age of the meat and eggs set down on
the menu card.

Fjuhtinu Tuberculosis

I listened to our pastors Sunday SER
mon on this subject and two of our ply
sicians rose at the pastors request ana
exhorted for him on the same line with
emphasis. They think the state should
treat all that are durable in sanitariums.
and each county should prepare place
where the incurable may go, and not
give the infection to the remaining
members of the family.
This is the common sense or the
preventive movement, because the in
durable patient is a germ center Tor
those who live about the house, and
who wait on the slowly dying patient
in the home. The infection is so dead
ly that it will run through families ana
1t is a pity that those who are not in
fected should be forced to take this
tuberculosis disease by contact, either
willingly or unwillingly.
L had visited a consumptive man on
my way to church. ana the subject was
fresh in my mind. He is slowly
wasting away, can only speak in whis-
per now, his case is so far gone. He
lost a grown son less than a year ago
from the same disease, and it was plain
to my mind that he had been a victim
to this insidious disease because of his
immediate contact with the germs that
infect all tuberculosis patients.
1t is said that one out of seven
deaths in this country can be traced to
these deadly germs, and they can enter
the body of any person through the at
mosphere, by drinking cups and by
many other easy entrances. 1t is a
serious subject. 1t deserves attention
from all who live and can be thrown in
contact by these fearful germs.
