PROPER CARE OF UTENSILS
Success In Serving Appetlzing Dishes
Depends Very Largely on Perfect
Cleanliness.

There may sometimes be observed
in the cooked dish loss of flavor,
not bad taste, but lack of what Is
appetizing. 1t would be interesting to
know in how many cases this comes
from the lack of cleanliness in uten-
sis and methods.
Personal cleanliness is, of course,
essential in the kitchen, and every
good housekeeper endeavors to main
tain high standard In such matters
Some food manufactures make special
effort to secure cleanliness and n.y.
gienlc surroundings, and the good ex-
ample they set should be generally
followed.
Food and fingers are carriers of
contagion." The proper way of wash
ing the hands, IL seriously taught and

In the kitchen, would 60 far to re-
move the source not only of infection.
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
one large bakery, where information
was collected, the rule is in force that
every employee shall wash his hands
on returning to the room after leaving
It for any purpose whatever.
The running tap. like the shower
bath, offers great Improvement over
old methods of washing. Few will
have patience to fill 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
at all soiling In character.
Every one will admit that there is
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-
tons for distance of four or Ave feet
by violent sneeze or cough, and that
often the cause of the cough or sneeze
Is something which can be thus COM
municated to others, 1t is evident that
there is abundant reason for caution.
Particularly is this essential where
ever food is prepared, exposed or
served

AFTER BLIND TIGERS
c. r. Rathbone Goes into the Fastness
After Illegal Liquor Sellers.

Sistersyille, w. Vac. F. Rathbone,
of the tax commissioners office, ar
rived home from long trip through
the interior, during which he had sew
eral rather interesting experiences.
Learning that beer and liquor were
being sold openly in the lumber
camps on the Back Fork OF Cheat
river, far removed from the haunts of
civilization, he proceeded to investi-
gate.
Securing the location OF the camps
Mr.. Rathbone made trip 10 that
section in the Businesses of the hills
and mountains. On his first appear
ance at one of the blind tigers the
news spread rapidly through all the
lumber camps and the men managed
to get over the line into the next state,
but many of them left then shacks
without removing the wet goods In
one of these places Mr.. kathbone
seized and took possession of twenty
five barrels of beer and quite large
quantity of other wet goods.

State Board in Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the West
Virginia State Board of Trade, held at
Morgantown, was one of the most sue
cessful ever held by that body. The
papers read were of high order, and
the extemporaneous discussions, of
which there were many, were spirited
and interesting, showing deep thought
on many subjects upon the part of the
speakers. Next in interest and impor-
lance, probably, to the paper of Presi-
dent White, published in the Manufac-
turers' Record, was thorough analy-
ical address upon the Wisconsin Rail-
road Commission law by Hon. Halford
Ericsson, member of the State Com
mission. Mr.. Ericsson went deeply into
the subject, showing the vast labor and
responsibility that railway control by
government imposes, doubtless invest
ing the matter with new interest to
those who have been too lightly held
that it is the function of government
to exercise such control.
