PROPER CARE OF UTENSILS
Success In Serving Appealing Dishes
Depends Worry Largely on Perfect
Cleanliness.

There may sometimes be- observed
In the cooked dish a loss Of flavor,
not a bad TASTE, but a lack Of what Is
appetiElng. 1t would be interesting to
know In how many cases this comes
from the lack of cleanliness in uten-
sils and methods.
Personal cleanliness Is, Of course.
essential In the kitchen. and every

but OF such additions to the food as
are disgusting. In this matter some
food manufactures are cleaner in their
methods than are our Kitchens. In
n large bakery. where information
was collected. the rule is In force that
every employe shall wash his hands
on returning to the room after leaving
1t for any purpose whatever.
The running tap, like the shower
bath. offers a great Improvement over
old methods of washing. Few viii
have patience to NIL and refill the
hand basin until the hands are bathed
at last In clean water. but this result
Is easily accomplished under the tap.
The nail brush and nail cleaner must
have their place In the kitchen, and
their use must be insisted on before
bread or cake Is mixed and after work

Every one will admit that there Ia
need for exercising great care In
coughing and sneezing wherever such
necessary acts may be annoying to
others. When one recalls that ex-
pertinent has shown that a fine spray
Of saliva may be thrown In all direc-
ions for a distance of foul or five feet
by a violent nee or cough. and that
often the cause Of the cough or sneeze
Is something which can be thus COM

there Is abundant reason for caution.
Particularly is this essential where

SAYS RAILROADS ARE
BACKING THE PROTEST

WASHINGTON. July 17.-President
Taft was told today by Representative
Knowland of California that Canadian
railroads, acting in sympathy with
American railways, were behind Great
Britain's protest against free tolls
through the Panama canal for United
States ships.
"Not the slightest objection was
made by Great Britain said MI.
Kuowland. "until committee OF
Canadian railroad men took the ques-
ton up with the British government.
There is little doubt that American
tran anscontinental railroads prompted
the move.'
Mr.. Knowland also talked with Sec
retarv Knox.
Both the president and the secretary
of state are standing for the right OF
the United States to put certain
American vessels through the canal TOLL
free.
While piany of the president s sa-
visers contend the question Of tolls is
really one Of interstate commerce, tney
are hoping the dispute may be settled
without being submitted to The Hague
