after you think you have cleaned your
refrigerator Grease is a natural bed
for germs. Let the ice run out and
you have warmth, moisture and
grease. In such place germs will
multiply with amazing rapidity. This
accounts for the awful something
dead in it" smell which you find in
most refrigerators. The germs feed
in the grease; in the act of digesting
they throw off a gas, which causes
the smell above referred to, but the
product of their digestion is ptomaine,
a deadly poison Dr. H M. Wiley, the
United States government pure food
expert, says: ''The ordinary ice box
is charnel house of death, which not
only breeds disease but spreads it."
It is not necessary for the ice to
run out for germs to flourish Nothing
less than a freezing temperature will
suspend their deadly work; the lower
the temperature the slower they null
tiply, and from this fact you can see
how necessary it is to keep refriger-
ator doors closed and the ice chamber
full. A freezing temperature is of
course impracticable in a domestic
refrigerator where the doors are fire.
quently opened, so the only thing to
do is to get refrigerator which can
be readily cleaned.

ADVICE TO A BRIDE.

Try to learn to be chummy with
your husband, so that when the first
glamour of love dies you will have
the steady glow and warmth of friend
ship and comradeship to fall back
upon, and will not be left, as so many
couples are, with nothing.
Cultivate sense of humor. There
are many things in married life at
which we must laugh Or weep, and
the ability to see the funny side of
things will keep you from discomfort.
Don't be one of the I-told-you-so
women. When your husband makes
a mistake, let him down easy and for
get the incident. He will remember
it with tears of gratitude.
Don't expect your husband to keep
up the high pressure of lovemaking
of his counting days through forty
years of dead level matrimony.
Never forget that man is as much
bound to have flattery as child is to
want sweets. Deny him sweets at
home and he is apt to go to the shop
down the street.
Don't bewail the fact that your hus-
band is not all your girlish fancy
painted him. What would perfect
man want with you?

sELF-AssERTIoN AS AN ASSET.

We often hear it said that, if
youth has ability people will find it
out without being told; that if he has
merit, it will come out; but we see
on every hand young men and women
with splendid ability, with good edu-
cation and fine training, out of situa-
tons, or in very ordinary ones, simply
which pushes it's way to the front.
They are conscious that they have
ability, and they are just waiting for
somebody to recognize it and to push
them ahead.
Working right beside them are
others with, perhaps, less ability, but
with that aggressive, ambitious spirit
which attracts attention and carries
them on past their more modest and
retiring friends. In this electric
country of push and hurry and drive,
people are too busy to investigate
merit or mere worth which does not
exhibit itself or force it's way forward.
The American people believe in the
man who claims something, who as
sumes to stand for something, who as
serts himself; for this assertion is evil
dence of that progressiveness which is
so essential to success. If a man
makes no claims, people take it for
granted that he does not believe in
himself. But the man who asserts
himself, believes he can do the thing
he undertakes, creates confidence;
and the employer is looking for the
man who has a program and who be.
lieves he can carry it out. He is
looking for results and men who can
achieve them.
The fine-grained, sensitive youth
feels that it is immodest, unbecoming
to push his way forward, to attract at
| tention to his ability, to tell what he
can do; but while he is waiting for
the world to discover his merit, and
to help him on, the aggressive boy
beside him has pushed his way to the
position above him.

BEST WAYS OF COOKING MEATS.

The ordinary housewife rarely un-
derstands the meaning of the words
boil" and simmer" Water boils at
at high attitudes it boils at lower
temperature. We find by experience
that meat becomes tender more quick
ly at simmering point-a temperature
of $50 degrees-than when it is boiled
at PIP degrees. Simmering is when
the bubbles form on the bottom OF
the vessel, safely pass through the
water and rupture at the top. This
is not the boiling motion. To have
a piece of boiled meat rare, juicy and
tasty the outside must be thoroughly
sealed, the same as in baking. To do
this put the meat into boiling water,
bring quickly to boiling point, boil
for twenty minutes, then push the
kettle back where the meat will SIM
mer for Is minutes to each pound. Ii
the meat is to be served rare IL min
utes will be long enough; on the
other hand, if it is to be we'll done
cook it 20 minutes to the pound. Even
when we'll done it should be juicy,
tender and palatable.
Boiled meats are more easily di-
gested than baked meats, even when
baked meats are carefully cooked.
Broiled meats are preferable to those
cooked in a dry pan, and dry pan
meats are far superior to those fried;
in fact, fried meats have no place at
a well-regulated table.
Steaming is an admirable method
of cooking tough meats, or large
joints like leg of mutton or ham.
This may be done in common boiler,
using sufficient water to create a
good volume of steam. Place the
meat in the boiler, on rack, above
the water. AS the water evaporates
replace it with boiling water. Do not
check the boiling or you reduce the
heat and soften the surface of the
meat.
Braising is a cross between baking
and boiling. This method is largely
used for tough meats. A braising-pan
is a baking pay with a tight-httlng
cover. These pans are sold under the
astonishing udAu0 VI 4o1oI1AS- pans ,
roasting means to cook before a fire;
you cannot roast in a covered pan
These pans are, Notwithstanding their
illogical name, admirable utensils in
which to cook fricandeau of veal
beef la mode, leg of mutton, praised
beef or an old turkey or fowl. Place
the meat in the pan and partly fill
the pan with boiling stock or water;
add, if you like, sliced onion, bay
leaf and little chopped celery. Cover
the pan, stand in a very hot oven and
bake three or four hours, according
to the size and the kind of meat. A
leg of mutton will require two, beef
a la mode four, and fricandeau of veal
three hours. Veal, to be at all eatable
must be very we'll cooked.

Don't you join with the cranks that

From life's demand that we toll and

Don't you stumble at can't, but keep
On, right on, to the golden steep.
Don't you doubt as the rest have done,
Don't you dream that it can't be won.
Don't you stop when you ought to try,
Don't give up, if you have to die.
Don't you be with the can't brigade,
Shy, untrusting, and half afraid.
The thing that is right to do is done,
The goal that is right to win is won.
Don't you say that the thing is too
great,
Don't you pause as afraid of fate
Don't you be like the lost who sing,
There is no way you can do the thing.
Don't belong to the fellows fine
Who wait all day in the weary line,
Don't you echo the thought they hold
This cant be done" is a lie they've
told.
Don't you follow a lead-like that,
But show your spirit and doff your
hat
Don't you stop at thing half way
With only this on your lips to say.
Don't you dream that it can't be done
Don't you fear that it can't be won.

TO BE A GOOD CONVERSATION.
ALIST.

Keep clear of personalities in con-
versation. Talk of things, objects,
thoughts. The smallest minds occupy
themselves with persons. Do not
needlessly report i'll of others. AS far
as possible, dwell on the good side of
human beings. There are family
boards where a constant process OF
depreciating, assigning motives and
cutting up character goes forward
They are not pleasant places. One
who is healthy does not wish to dine
at dissecting table. There is evil
enough in man, God knows But 1t is
not the mission of every young man
and woman to detail and report it ALL
Keep the atmosphere as pure as pos
sible, and fragrant with gentleness
and charity.

THE NASTY STORY.

During his visit to Portland, Ore,
says the San Francisco Monitor, Theo-
dore Roosevelt administered strong
rebuke to the so-called funny story
which is either nasty or suggestive.
"The subject of motherhood should not
be subject for JEST said Mr. Roose-
welt, to the establishment and chagrin
of his would-be entertainers. Il have
enjoyed the other novel features of
this dinner, but this one displeases
me. do not like such jests.''
Why is the nasty story? What rea-
son is there for it? Why do men
men who, in the average way, are
good men; at least, not evil men-why
do they tell the nasty story? Or, if
they do not tell it themselves, listen
to it with apparent relish, and laugh
at it? Is it the latent animal in the
man, seeking some outlet for it's ex-
uberance? Is there good reason for
the nasty story? Or is it merely
wicked habit, an excresence of the
devil? Go where you will among men
today, you can not pass time with
them in leisure moments when rules
and business and politics are forgot
ten for the nonce, without soon hear
ing the nasty story. 1t is led up to in
a myriad different ways; apparently
the simplest word or statement sug-
guests it. And the first one told, it
meets with the applause of thorough
appreciation and the fiesta is begun.
Sometimes the stories become so gross
that even the hardened man can not
relish them; but he has laughed at a
dozen others almost as bad. Why?
Has he really enjoyed them?
No Christian gentleman, no Catholic.
can enjoy the nasty story. 1t is un-
healthy and degrading; it is disease.
There is no good reason for it. The
man with the healthy mind, pure, not
prudish, can find ample outlet for his
animal spirits in other channels. True,
it takes deal of courage to stand
alone, outside the jovial circle, but a
mans self-respect is there. and when
he lends his laugh to the applause that
greets the salacious story, he leaves
his self-respect behind.
A little incident in the life of Gen.
.eral Grant shows, just as did the
Roosevelt affair in Portland, what a
strongminded man can do in the
presence of the nasty story teller.
Grant was the guest of honor at din
ner once, and among those present
were many officers and distinguished
gentlemen. After the ladies had re-
tired to the drawing room, and the
cigars were lit, the men gathered
about the table for jolly chat. Stories
were told, and many a laugh provoked
Finally, one epauletted gentleman be-
gan story with a furtiVe glance to-
ward the doors of the drawing room.
Are the ladies out of hearing?" he

THE BRAvEsT GIRL.

Elsie is the bravest girl I ever
knew" said Norah. "They are tear
ing down the old bridge and she
walked right across on one of the
string-pieces this morning. It's aw-
fully narrow and it shook every min
ute, but she wasn't scared a bit"
What did she do it for? asked
Uncle John, looking up from his news
paper.
ooh, just for fun, to show that she
wasn't afraid"
II don't think that was brave at
ALL" said Uncle John decidedly. "Sup-
pose the string-piece had broken and
she had fallen into the river? She
risked her life for nothing"
Norah turned on him in surprise.
why, you thought Jessie Hayes
was brave when she ran in front of
the trolley-car after that baby. She
risked her life, tool"
YES said Uncle John, that's the
point exactly. She did it for some
thing-to save the baby. But Elsie
had no reason like that; she crossed
the bridge just to show off. Do you
see the difference?"
81 suppose So" Norah admitted re-
luctantly; "but Jessie was awfully
afraid. She told me it seemed as if
she couldn't do it, only she knew she
had to-"
Uncle John nodded.
"And she did it. The brave man is
the man who is afraid and doesn't
run"
Tom was on the couch, buried deep
in book. but apparently he hadn't
missed anything, for he bobbed up
now to say:
"The bravest girl I ever saw was
in our room at school last week. She
knocked a plaster cast off Professor
Jacobs desk while he was out of the
room and it smashed to bits. It was
an accident, not even careless, but we
knew he would never understandable

professor Jacobs, and Nell got as

and told him without waiting to be
