HOW TO JUDGE
MEATS IN MARKET

From the Youths Companion.
Many housekeepers 90 their market

through the maid or butchers boy-and
judge it when served to them at dinner
Unfortunately this judgment comes too
late, in the case of poor meat, and the
family must be made to suffer.
Meat can and should be judged on the
block before\ purchasing, by the house
keeper herself, or by someone in whom
she has confidence. The first point to
consider is the odor. No matter how at
tractive looking the meat is, if the odor
is not that of a fresh, wholesome meat
it is unfit for use-unless the family
taste is inclined toward high" meats.
Two or three days after killing acid de-
velops which dissolve the myosn-the
peculiar constituent of muscle-making
the meat tender and improving the flavor,
but this is the beginning of the process
of decomposition, and IL meat is allowed
to stand outside of cold storage this pro-
cess proceeds so rapidly as to produce
an offensive odor in a very short time.

might be prepared to render expert aid

Through the use of this serum Cen
eral Wyman continued. positive opinions
could be given as TO whether argonisms
isolated from suspected cases Of cholera
OF from suspected carriers were the
cholera vibrio. The officers in the labo-
1atorv reviewed the various methods
proposed for the isolation and identifica-
ton of the cholera vibrio in order that
when called upon they might be able

cholera.
IN numbers of cases, the products OF

DIR. Wyman declared that about this
time each year the Marine hospital service
Is called upon to stamp out threatened
invasion of European cholera. The season
which now has about closed, he contin-
ued, was rather short, but had not the
Marine hospital service been fully equip
ped with unlimited financial means ana
medical skill there would be no way or
accounting 1OT the lllldl IechOiiii5s
In stamping out the disease and pre-
venting its appearance in this country
the Marine hospital service was author
lied to adopt any methods it saw fit
Without causing any undue Inconvenience
to travellers every incoming TRANSATLANTIC
liner was held in quarantine DOCTORS
were employed in this country and abroad
for service at points where immigrants
to this country would embark. Transpof-
tation companies were required to make
examinations of all passengers they were
about to carry before the ship was given
permission to depart on its journey to
America In every way possible the Ma
rine hospital service took the utmost pre-
cautions to prevent the germs of cholera
from becoming epidemic in the United
States
ITO sum UP the whole situation" Cen
eral Wyman said, would be to say that
the campaign just closed by the Marine
hospital service has been the most sue
cessful in its career, and at the same time
It has been made without the usual dis
comforting and alarming circumstances
Not only did the service see to it that
the immigrants who were seeking entry
into this country were free of the dread
cholera, but merchandise from cholera
infected districts was placed under strict
supervision. Lemon shipments from Italy
were thoroughly fumigated by doctors in
the employ of the service, under the SUI
pervision of consular agents. On reach
ing this country they were again funi-
gated by the customs authorities for the
purpose of making absolutely sure that
every precaution had been taken against
the disease. Freight consignments from
Hamburg and other points were treated
in the same manner.

Wyman continued, lis the fact that there
is today no case of cholera in the United

If this bone breaks easily just above the
joint, the animal is still lamb; if, in
stead, it breaks at the joint, it is no lon
ger lamb but mutton, for the leg bone
becomes too strong to break after
years growth.
, In buying dressed poultry the buyer
must depend mainly on the appearance
of the flesh and skin. The flesh should
not be stiff or flabby, but should give
gently when pressed. Cold storage birds
are usually packed so close that the
wings remain tightly pressed against the
body, even after being unpacked some
time. This squeezed look will distinguish
them from freshly killed birds. When
too stale, the flesh turns dark and green
ish, the eyes shrink, and the feet become
dry and hard The skin should be clear
and light yellow, free from pinfeathers
A drawn, tight look indicates scalding
for plucking. Dry picking is to be pre-
ferred, because it insures better keeping
qualities and gives the skin more
wholesome appearance. Poultry has a
better flavor and keeps better when
drawn, although some dealers dispute
this fact Decomposed conditions are
produced by retaining the viscera, and
few housekeepers care to risk using I'M
drawn poultry or game.
The pliability of the end of the breast
bone is a very common test for the age
of a chicken. In young bird, or broiler,
this end bone will still be gristle or car
tilage. and very easily bent. In bird a
wear old it will be brittle, and in an older
bird too tough and hard to bend. Butch
ers sometimes break the breast bone to
make this test worthless.
A capon may be distinguished by a
plumper, larger and rounder body than
the ordinary fowl, and if the head Is
left on, 1t will be smaller and with a
pale. withered comb. The feet, If left
on, furnish a good test for age. In a
young bird they are soft and smooth,
with claws short and sharp, in the old
bird the feet are hard and rough, with
long. blunt claws. The spur above the
foot is scarcely apparent In broiler,

st. Louis. May 31.-A letter by

which she predicted the death Of a
man whose life was insured in her

her trial for the murder Of William
j. Erder. The lawyer was c. H. Mil
Ter, last of the out of town witnesses
against the accused woman. Mrs.
Doxey lifted her eyebrows as if in
surprise when the letters were read.
Her lawyers will contend she was
under the influence of morphine and
irresponsible when she wrote them.
Miller also testified to converse
ton he had with Mrs. Doxey April
Is, in which she told him about a
man whose life was insured in her
favor. This was before her alleged
marriage to Erder. Three days be-
fore her marriage to Erder, Mrs.
Doxey wrote Miller to address her
letters to Mrs. William ]. Erder.
Miller said Mrs. Doxey told him her
cousin had married Erder.
