Danger in Watercress.

The tempting lunches Of fresh green
watercress that are now found in mai.
ket are never more welcome than at
this season, but great care should be
taken to wash them thoroughly: the
brook from which they came may have
been infested with typhoid germs.
says a writer. Experts tell us that
much typhoid fever comes from vege-
tables that have been improperly fer
tilted or from plants watered by pol
luted streams. Wherever possible
vegetables should be boiled. but In the
case Of lettuce or watercress this is
usually impossible. The only thing one
can do If one does not want to give
up eating them is to wash them thor
oughly in several waters. One can
even make the first water a coapy one
without leaving any disagreeable taste.

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days. Among Other Accom-
piishments. Woman Was Required
to BE Expert Carver.

In the matter OF old-time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady Of the household,
In the eighteenth century she was
mistress Of the ceremonies-she carv'
ed and she dealt the while her lord
merely pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu. for II she
gave a dinner OF several courses II
was her duty 10 to the
guests. seated expectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers OF gentle persua'
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles Of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight Of a knife in posi-.
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire IF he would please to have
something more"
In the art OF carving, OF course,
the mistress Of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's fight after perfec'
ton under the wing OF a professional
carving master: she took three les
sons a week. that she might be per.
feet on her fathers public days: when,
in order to perform her functions
without Interruptions. she was forced
to eat her own dinner alone an hour
or so beforehand"

CAMPAIGN IS HAVING EFFECT
Already the Death Rate From Tuber-
eulosis 10 Showing a Gratifying
Decrease.

In certain cities. such as New York.
Boston. Cleveland and Chicago. and
in states like Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. the decline in
the death rate from tuberculosis is
more marked than in the country at
large. which declined 1871 per cen in
the ten years from 1901 to 1910. The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention OF tuberculosis says
that there are many factors working
together to cause the decline in the
tuberculosis death rate, such factors
as the change in the character OF our
urban population. increased santa
ton. and better housing. but probably
as potent a factor as any has been the
nation wide anti-tuberculosis cam
paign. 1t may be foretold with con
siderable certainty" the association
says. that when the effects of the
present rapidly increasing provision
for the care OF tuberculosis patients
shall have become evident. the decline
in the death rate from consumption in
the coming decade will be even more
marked than hat In the last one"

dose the following night. II necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-

eat and sleep normally.
DIR. Caldwen's Syrup Pepsin Is far
preferable to salts. cathartics and
~purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup PepsIn acts on
the bowels easily and naturally. yet
positively. and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach. liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.

FISH FOR THE TABLE
rs PROPER SELECTION. COOK
ING AND SERVING.
Almost lnnumerable Are the Ways In
Which They May BE Prepared
Either BroIled or PIanked
They Are Delicious.

In 1851 Miss Beecher wrote: In
selecting fish take those hat are
Arm and thick. having stin fms. thick
scales, the gills bright red and the
eyes prominent and full When fish
are long out OF water they grow soft,
and fms bend easily. the scales are

the eyes sink and shrink away. They
should be dressed as soon as caught.
sprinkled with salt and cooked the
same day"
At Saturdays remarkable market
was heard: Fish at FIVE cents q
pound is surely a remarkable bless
Ing without any disguise. but how do
you cook fish,"
Well. they can be fried. broiled.
baked with stufing. crimped. faxed
and In balls. and soufles and creamed
and an occasional chowder.
One thing the cookery books direct
you to do is. To put the fish into as
much or more water as will cover
them We never drown ours. for too
much water is bad. II you want to
boil the fish a little more water than
VIII half cover Is sufficient. Keep the
I'D OF the saucepan well down and
simmer gently. It ats much richer
and has a finer flavor than the book
way. which soddens It and takes
away the fine firmness we prize.
And how shall | tell when II is
done?" was the ext query. When
the flet. OF thick part next to the
backbone. can be easily drawn away
from the bone with a knife.
Steamed fish is frmer and finer
than fish baked or boiled. The max
ing OF filets and the baking OF fish
requires moro are in the cookery and
richer ingredients that is usually
given to fish cookery in the home.
and the excellence OF these dishes
depends upon the sauces after all.
One fish dish We think we'll OF is
made with mushrooms and sweet
peppers. a quantity Of melted butter
and some lemon juice. The fish may
be broiled or planked and then gar
nished; the long chill peppers are
more slightly than the large sweet
peppers. Cold fish faxed and mixed
with salad dressing and trimmed with
capers and served on a bed of crisp
lettuce always pleases. For season
Ing. lemon Juice is always popular,
and vinegar. either tarragon or the
ordinary sort. is acceptable.
Salt is the stun that spoiled the
fish when you did o put any on"
so salt the fish when starting 1t to
cook and serve celery salt and pap
rika with It at the table.-Henrietts
