Animals In Kitchen Peril to Health

OF large number at one time brings
a strain on the culinary forces, when
material is certain to be served which
has been prepared considerable time
in advance
Mrs. Abel thinks ordinary kitchen
methods fall short of today's require
ments, especially with respect to sani-
tary science. The old fashioned ha-
tired for dirt is not enough. This ap-
plies especially with respect to the
cleaning of kitchen utensils For in
stance, boiling has long been known
to kill whatever was the cause Of
"spoiling" food. However, most house
keepers did not boil out" the milk
cans. etc.. but simply scalded them.
AS a reward for cleanliness it Is
suggested that the merchant who
keeps his goods in sanitary condi-
ton merits patronage for his efforts.
The praise and blame of the buyer
has much to do with the keeping up
of the standards of the dealer and it
Is held by some writer's that the grow
ing use of the telephone in ordering
the dinner, thus bringing about alb
sentee buying, is responsible for many
bad conditions.
The author further states that mot
one customer in a thousand sees the
conditions under which breed and
pastry are manufactured and it is this
removal from public view and criti-
cism that constitutes the chief diff
Guilty in enforcing existing laws for
the proper construction of bakeries
and for sanitary methods for carrying
on the business.
The concluding topic in the bulle-
tin has to do with cleanliness in pub
lie eating places and calls attention to
the results of the inspection of res
taurants and lunchroom kitchens in
this city by the board of health,
which indicated that the matter is one
which needs to be under control.
Proper ventilation in kitchens and
suitable sanitary conveniences ma
king for clean food, are matters of
public hygiene.

Boy In Knockers a Wireless Wonder

peared impressed by what he said.
When he had finished his argument
against the bill the boy turned
prophet. He said that in ten years it
would be possible for persons on land
to communicate with distant points
by wireless.
IF man has an automobile break
down Is miles from home, ten years
from now" he said, "all he will have
to do will be to take out his wireless
kit, call up his butler and tell him he
will not come home to dinner"
Master Stokes also informed the
members of the committee that for
eign nations were far ahead of the
United States in the development of
wireless telegraphy and blamed the
era of wireless stock exploitation this
country has experienced. He said
there were between $4,000 and 10000
boys in the United States interested
in wireless telegraphy and expressed
the belief that their experiments
would prove Of great value to the ma
ton In the future.
Young Stokes is the son of the pro-
prietor Of the Ansonia apartment ho-
tel in New York, and will be remem-
bered as the first person to devise a
receiving box for the interception of
wireless telephone and telegraph mes
sages.
This device was perfected in Sep
TENDER, 1908, on the roof of his IA
theirs hotel. 1t was the result of long
and secret experiments in which the
boy was unaided. When his inven-
ton was examined by wireless ex-
perts they pronounced him an electri-
cal prodigy.

away with it-what is the use Of a
hen laying a larger egg?
"Of course I am not going to stand
for this sort of diminishing eggs on
Spotty's part. I have removed her
from the vicinity of those pigeons and
II she doesn't turn out a better sized
product OF egg she is going into the
SOUP"
FRANK j. Dedrich, farmer of OK
ford, N. Y, has developed a breed Ct
hen which lays black eggs. He pro-
duced this result, he says, by feeding
the hens with fine coal dust.
The shells have been analyzed and
are found to contain particles Of coal
dust.
According to Dedrich, experiments
are now being made to determine the
value OF the eggs as fuel.
Duke, the dog that smokes a pine
to amuse Nassau street crowds, has a
rival in Billy, an educated cat owned
by Mrs. E. Godinez.
Billy does not look any different
from the tramp feline that keeps you
awake at night meowing on your back
fence. But Mrs. Godinez's pet will
not even associate with the ordinary
cat. He Is regarded as a member
OF the family, takes his meals at the
table and enjoys his cigar afterward
A pipe Is too strong for him, but he
will puff on cigar until it is so hot
that he can't hold it any longer with
out burning his paws.
Billy is a strict vegetarian and is
particularly fond of corn. He prefers
TO eat his corn off the cob and, unlike
distinguished Manhattan politician.
does not use a knife to eat his peas.
Billy prefers his paws.

No Mosquitoes In Jersey This Year?

marshes and mudholes were literally
treated with the lethal oil. After CIV
ing the stuff ample time to get in its
work the state entomologist examined
the swampy places and found no sign
of mosquito larvae.
According to Mr.. Smith, all that is
needed is unremitting attention to
business to forever keep the mosquito
out OF New Jersey. Despite his report,
however, the Jerseyites are screening
their porches and windows and doors
just as of yore.

INSECTS play large part as me-
i chanical carriers of disease and
none is worse than the common house
fly, yet it is allowed to infest meat ex-
posed for sale, bread and sweetmeats,
berries, the edge of the milk pail and
the food on the kitchen table.
The keynote Of cleanliness is espe-
cially sounded with respect to keeping
pet animals in the kitchen. The fur
of the cleanest of them must come in
contact with many things which we
would not care to have touch our food.
This information is impaired in a
bulletin issued by the department Of
agriculture, prepared under the super
vision of the Office of experiment sta
tons. 1t is entitled, care of Food in
the Home" and is for free distribu-
ton. Its author, Mrs. Mary Human
Abel, has advanced many new ideas
and called attention to many simple
house methods that make for cleanli-
ness and wholesomeness of foods in
th6 home.
One of the most important sugges-
lions is that in regard to ptomaine
poisoning. On this subject the author
says:
Food may become dangerous even
before it shows outward signs of de-
composition and the danger hardly
be recognized without laboratory ap-
paratus. 1t is no uncommon thing
to hear that large number of per-
sons attending a banquet were taken
violently ill within few hours. These
cases of wholesale poisoning general
ly occur in summer after a heated
term. It is safe rule to eat spar
ingly of foods liable to changes in
hot weather and where the serving

Some People Never Learn

Ex-senator Allen of Nebraska, the long distance
talker once one of the leading lights of Populsm,
says present day Democracy and Republicanism
make him feel Old-fashiOned. However, fiat money
has not come to pass currency based cot
ton and grain warehouse receipts.
The above is taken from the editorial page
of the n. Y. World. There never was any
money that was not of the fiat sort Nature
produces nothing of the kind, and therefore it
is the creature of law or general agreement.
Every dollar in circulation throughout the
round world is fiat money.
AS to basing currency on warehouse receipts
for cotton or grain, nobody could give good
reason why it should not be done. European
governments aid the farmers that way, and
ours would do the same thing if Wall Street
didn't have such strangle-hold on it.
