chief thought il imperative that steps he
taken to prevent the overcrowding OF
factory floors
IF the owners refuse Ia provide proper
appliances when they are told to do so,
said the chief, the bureau ought to have
power to hang sign on the front doors
Of their buildings labelled. Closed, po-
liceman ought to be stationed there. and
nobody should be allowed to enter the
building until the regulations were fully
complied with. But We can't do that

Several hundred letters have come into
Fire Headquarters since the fire on Sat
urday complaining Of conditions in
buildings throughout the city mostly
from tenants. II was said that nearly
one hundred and fifty were received yes
terday. This fact is significant Of the
public interest aroused over the ques-
ton of protection. i'm view of the fact
that last years report OF the department
shows that only 256 complaints were re-
ceiyed during 1910 from sources outside

Lace Flower Pins

The latest in dainty and charming
pins for wear on collars and cuffs is
a lace flower crocheted around an or.
binary small safety pin. The flower is
usually in violet form, though in white.
and stands out stiffly from the pin.
When crocheted to violet pin, Il
may be used to fasten jabots of flow

quite so new, as applied to the hatpin
A set of these lovely white lacepins-

METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT
Objectionable Flavors Can Be Re
moved From Fat by Means Of
Potatoes.

Excepting where the purpose OF
clarifying fat is to remove flavors, a
good method to follow Is to pour boil
Ing water over the fat, to boil thor
oughly. and then to set 1t away to cool.
The cold fat may be removed in Q
solid cake and any impurities clinging
to 1t may be scraped OF. as they will
be found at the bottom Of the layer.
By repeating this process two or three
times a cake of clean, white fat may
be obtained.
A slight burned taste or similar OBJ
jectionable flavor often can be re-
moved from fat by means of potatoes
After melting the fat, put into 1t thick
slices of raw potato; heat gradually
When the fat ceases to bubble and the
potatoes are brown. strain through a
cloth placed in wire strainer.

en- generally marry poor men and are
drudges the rest of their lives, as the
wealthy men steer clear of the learned

picture of the women in university

First came little pork sausages,
cooked until they fell to pieces for

served as sandwiches. between two
crackers. little sweet pickles and
picked onions.
Then appeared large apples, scraped
out till only a thin shell remained.

and covered with salad dressing.
Finally. chocolate. with two marsh
mallows dropped in each cup. and
home-or rather coIlege-made cakes
and fudge completed the meal.
Some Of the dishes are. Of course,
out of season. but substitutes are
easily found. For the sausage one
might have eggs baked or shirred.
both of which are easily prepared In
a chafing dish. For the apples q good
substitute IL tomatoes prepared In the
same fashion, chopped with green pep

In q lettuce leaf.
The cakes may be the little cookies

FOOD VALUE OF MILK
CONTAINS MATERIALS WHICH
CHILDREN NEED FOR GROWTH.
One Quart Of Cows Milk Supplies
Practically as Much Protein and
Energy az Three-ouarters
of Pound Of Beef.

It is a commonplace saying that
milk. or, to be more specific. cows
milk, is a perfect food. This may be
taken to mean that 1t contains, hrst'
materials which children need for
growth; second, material which young
and old alike need for the repair OF
their bodily machinery; and. third.
materials which both need for fuel,
1. O.. to provide with heat and
with the energy necessary Tor
work. 1t should not be understood.
however. to mean that it has these In
gradients in such proportions that 1t
can serve satisfactorily as an exclusive
food for a grown person or even for
child. Though it is the best substt
tute for mothers milk, 1t must be
modified" more or less before 1t can
be used even for infant feeding with
good results.
1t is likewise a commonplace saying
that milk is a cheap as well as a nu-
tritious food. Just at present, with
prices of all kinds of foods rapidly
changing, it is not so easy as 1t once
was to make the comparisons that
are necessary to show which particu-
lar foods are really cheap, but while
the prices Of food materials vary, the
| composition of most Of them remains
| unchanged, and it is always possible
to compare their nutritive values. A
quart of milk supplies practically as
much of both protein and energy as
three-quarters of a pound of beef OF
average composition or eight average
eggs, and can generally be bought fof
less money. In case milk is eight
cents a quart, beef 20 cents a pound,
and eggs "a cents a dozen, ten cents
spent for milk will buy little more
protein and much more energy than
ten cents spent for beef or ten cents
spent for eggs. Thus, while other AMI
NAL foods than milk (meat, eggs and
cheese) are desirable to give variety
to the diet 1t may be assumed that
milk may be used as an economical
substitute for any one of them.
OF the vegetable foods, many (fiour.
for example) are found to be much
cheaper than milk, when both price
and nutritive value are taken into con-
sheraton, and, as a matter OF fact.
they always form the greater part OF
the bulk Of human food; but OF the
animal foods which are usually COM
bined with the vegetable foods. milk
Is one of the cheapest.
In spite of the fact that milk Is rec
ognized as a nutritious and a cheap
food, there seems to be general
tendency to think Of 1t not as pos
sible substitute for other more expen-
sive foods, but rather as an addition
to the bill of fare. To illustrate, milk
Is frequently used as a beverage with
out the reduction of the amount OF
meat or other proteid foods served
From the point of view of the need OF
the body, this may be considered ex
travagant and the serving of glass
Of milk or of a bowlful of soup or OF
such desserts as custards and baked
milk, or the use Of generous quantities
Of milk or white sauce on vegetables
offers an opportunity to cut down the
allowance of meats and eggs.-Caro

NEW DRESS TIP FROM PARIS
White or Cream colored Wolfe, En-
broidered Heavily, Approved
Thing In Lingerie Dress.

The very latest news from Paris
tells us that white or cream-colored
wolfe. embroidered heavily, will be
the approved thing in lingerie dresses
for early spring. That seems to be
looking a good ways ahead. but II you
do your own embroidery you Will want
this time to get ready in.
Really the possibilities are endless
and fascinating. Either heavy en-
broidery (wallachian, for instance)
will be used, or beadwork with rub
Der beads, or a combination Of the
two. Can't you just see a wall-of-troy
design, worked solid in white and out
lined beads? Or, perhaps, the beads
would be black, and a black hat would
be worn with the dress, or Alice blue.
or old rose, or some other becoming
and striking shade.
How pretty this would be in .
three-piece suit, with the embroidery
consisting of a skirtband, side plaits
on the waist and collars and revers
on the coat! Then there are other
ideas-a Persian design worked out In
vari-colored beads, for instance, or a
spray Of heavy flowers. morning
glories or passion flowers. with cen
tiers and veins accentuated by means
of beads in the proper colors. In this
case. the embroidery itself would be
equally attractive in life colors or in
white, or even in black.
Then there are all the metal effects
How lovely bronze would be on cream
wolfe, or silver on pure white! Wolfe
has the advantage Of travelling easily
and so 1t would be quite possible tc
draw a thread all the way along the
materials and work from that. Ever
drawnwork could be combined with
these other effects.
Doesn't it make you want to star
right away? Do have dress like thi!
for next season. I'm going to!
