Of FIRE fighting facilities in the

for the hose house would be on

For Weak Ankles.

If your ankles swell you should look
to your shoes, the heels especially, and
the support or lack of it for the instep.
Choose shoes which fit snugly owe the
instep and cling closely to the ankle
to afford sufficient support. The width
should be ample enough to nov the
toes, the length enough to give the
large toe room so that it does not reach
the tip by an inch and the vamp long
if a short one cramps the foot. Heels
should be of medium height. When
the heel Of the foot IS raised to an eX-
IRENE height the natural arch of the
foot is exaggerated, the muscles be-
come strained, and a sharp pain en-
sues from the spot where the heel of
the shoe presses into the flesh.
An excellent exercise for strengthen
ing the ankles is to raise slowly on the
e the very tip df71 Of ffhsea tB8 9R, 9S GSst Il, Sc i

the foot until the ankles become

WE GO A MARKETING.

1t is wise to decide before making
the visit to the market just what and
how much is wanted. There will be
plenty of opportunity to change h
mind when you find there is nothing IN
the market that you had planned for.
1t is not always possible to visit the
and It paysTrr ce When those VISITS
can be made.
The experienced biz nc-+ees the
amount of bone, gristle and other
waste which certain cuts have, n
she will consider the family to be
served, the amount likely to be con
sumed and what may be done with the
leftover meat.
If you see the meat cut and weighed
you will then know what you have
bought.
The one who takes the trouble to do
her marketing in person has the pick
of the choice things, and those who
telephone must take what is left.
Beef to be good should be a bright
color, the grain of the meat fine n
the fat, yellowish white. Meat that
has a fat, notified appearance is doubt
full. The suet of a good animal Is
white. Good beef is elastic to the
touch and will not leave the impress
OF the finger when removed, although
very tender beef nay be easily pierced
by the finger when pressed too hard.
II you have a good-natured butcher,
he will not object to your looking over
the meat; they appreciate an intel
ligent buyer, and the wiser they are IN
their business the more they enjoy a
customer who wants to learn to u
intnlligently. Mutton is known at a
glance. Bright, crimson red, the fat
white and firm. If you can get a sight
of the liver it will tell OF the state OF
health better than any other test.
Veal should never be eaten when
hung more than a few days In sum
mer, as it taints very quickly. II eat
en- too fresh 1t is apt to be tough and
should be at least an animal of six
weeks before marketing.
In testing fowls, a pliable breast
bone is a good test If 1t isn't broken,
a test some butchers use to deceive.
The skin should be clean, the fowl
plump and the legs and feet pliable,
and the spurs short In young fowls.
Practice makes perfect in marketing
as in other things.
