Do not keep anything in paper bags.
The contents may attract mice, the
bags break easily and give a very I'M
tidy appearance to the storeroom.
Make 1t a rule to empty the bags as
soon as supplies are sent from the
market.
Small alright jars are suitable for
soda, cream of tartar, or spices and
other articles usually purchased in very
small quantities.
Keep all receptacles clean on the
outside and when empty cleanse the
inside Be careful never to handle them
with sticky or Toured hands.
The various receptacles in which
stores are kept should be plainly
labeled. Housekeepers trust to their
memory as to the contents OF each jar,
sometimes with disastrous results.
The temperature at which food is
kept should be reduced to that best
suited to it, which is usually as near
the freezing point as possible. In Win
ter this Is a comparatively simple mat
ter, as nature furnishes this low
temperature which is a prime requisite
for checking the growth Of micro-or-
ganisms.
In Summer the keeping Of perishable
food, where a cellar is not available or
suitable, is best accomplished by arti-
ficiAlIy cooled air. In some large
apartment houses and dairy farms an
ice machine is used to furnish very
cold dry air to the ice chest. How
ever, in the average home the ordinary
refrigerator is the usual resort. The
refrigerator, no matter how well cooled.
is damp, and dampness is one of the
requirements for bacterial growth. It
must not be forgotten also that some
bacteria grow at low temperature
Therefore, the interior should be kept
dry and clean. Wipe daily. and once
a week remove everything so that the
sides, shelves. and drain may be thor
oushly cleansed.

Refrigerator ice is often dirty and

mean, so that It is wholesome and will
not spoil. Most people keep their re-
frigerators and storerooms neat and
clean to the eye, but when milk sours
and butter grows strong" or meat
taints within a short time, it Is pretty
clear evidence that they are not clean
enough for health. There are several
kinds of cleanliness but only one that Is
any good when it comes to the care and
preservation of food. And to know tie
one and use II, means only a little
trouble taken In learning the causes Of
many puzzling things that happen in
the larder.
1t is a fact well known that foods
under certain conditions soon pass into
a state OF decomposition or putre-
faction. Milk sours; eggs, fish. and
meat putrefy; fats become rancid;
fruits and vegetables decay; preserves
ferment; flour and meal become musty,
and bread and cakes moldy. These
changes are due to the growth of count
less numbers of tiny living things,
called micro-organisms- They are
found everywhere; the soil teens with
them; they are in the air, in water, in
market stall. in grocery store, in
kitchen, store-room, pantry, cellar, re-
frigerator, and in all food exposed to
air and dust They may be found in
the cleanest places. but exist IN far
greater numbers in places where food
material has been allowed to decay
and dirt to accumulate.
The conditions most favorable to the
growth Of these micro-organisrns-
yeast, molds, and bacteria-are similar
to those which are most favorable to
the growth of any other living thing.
II conditions are favorable they will
reproduce themselves with incredible
raPidity. Like other organisms they
. need food, air. moisture. and heat.
The food best suited for tteir growth
and multiplication is just the kind Of
food required by man and animals.

women who spend would demand that
their garments, their household fur

made under wholesome conditions

action they would make that demand
sufficiently strong. the merchants
would insist upon manufacturers COM

obliged to do so in order to find mar

There is a Consumers League label

The little British steamer kestrel is
playing in the role OF a maritime phan
tom these days.
Shipping authorities along the coast
report the sailing of the vessel from
Va ncouyer some three weeks ago.
A number of officers, with the
.Canadian-Australasian liner Zealandia
that remained at Honolulu three days
while repairs to machinery were IN
progress, are willing to raise the right
hand and depose that the Kestrel was
a: the Canadian ports, at the time they
sailed for the islands.
The Kestrel was detained by ad
miralty libel" was the way that they
express sed the matter.
T. H. Davies and Company, are in
Clined to the theory that the steamer
may at some distant date enter the
Honolulu and Tanning Island trade, is
yet to! sail from a British Columbian
Tort, though they have no cable to
confirm or deny the belief.
However that may be, the fact still
remains that quantity of provisions
supplies and also greatly belated
Christmas cheer, still awaits shipment
to Tanning Island cable station Off
Gals and employees. The material was
to have been forwarded to the little
isolated colony Of cable people weeks
ago. Some Of the more perishable
provisions are practically rendered un-
lit for human consumption. About a
Hundred tons freight may be sent to
IPnning in the schooner Luka, when
that vessel finally ventures to sea
again, following the completion of ex
t.lisive repairs.
The suggestion has been oruited
about the local waterfront, that DR..
frederick Cook, who threatens to visit
Honolulu and later carry forward his
investigation of the volcano, might be
iaGuced to extend his explorations
with q view Of discovering the where
atouts of the Kestrel.'
The idea is not half bad one n
that both north and south poles have
Teen definitely located, and that but
little remains for the persistent inves'
tigator of the worlds mysteries.

FAST STEAMERS
FROM EUROPE

That a feet of steamers viii cover
the distance between Europe and San
Francisco in from fourteen to sixteen
days after the completion Of the Pan
anna canal is the optimistic report re-
ceired from the coast which state that
several of the largest concerns opefat-
ing on the Atlantic viii operate many
boats through the big ditch" with q
speed of twenty knots for the entire
voyage, and with fares but a fraction
higher than is now charged between
new and old world ports on the ATTAIN
tie.
The tremendous influence such a
service and such rates will have on
the whole Pacific coast Is not grasped
at the first glance. 1t means the
bringing OF thousands OF Immigrants
each month from southern and south
eastern Europe to populate the lands
of the Pacific states and British Co

1t also means that many persons go-
ing to the old world viii take the new
route in preference to the long rail-
way and steamship voyage, as It the
custom at present, as the new route
win Lave q hundred features OF the
keenest interest to show the traveller
Il Is claimed that In time the voyage
win take very few more days than Is
now occupied in crossing the Atlantic
seaboard.
The making public of the canal
tolls, on which the big steamship com
panies have been waiting, has put the
matter on a solid basis, and from now
or companies in the great ocean traf-
fc have something definite to figure
on in the way of freight and pasten-
ger rates. Definite announcement has
been made, it Is said, that the Ham
burg-America line and the North Ger

effic coast, stopping at San Francisco,

LONDON.-The Blue Funnel steam
er Nestor has been launched from the
yards of Messrs. Workman, Clark
C Company, at Belfast. She will be
the largest vessel in the Australian
service. VI i. ~. 49,.
The Nestor-a 15,e00-ton steamer
is the first of two mammoth liners
(the Ulysses is the other) ordered
for the Australian trade. They viii
be easily the largest vessels coming
to the Commonwealth. The prone
made deck is reminiscent of the big
Atlantic liners. :. On it are the smoke
room, social hall, smoke-room We
randall, and outside cafe. Immediate
~ below is what Is termed the center
castle deck, where is found the ladies'
drawing-room, of a size and elaborate
ness never attempted in any steamer
visiting Australia before. An addi-
tienal outside cafe is also supplied
on this deck. The next deck is de-
voted to single-berth cabins. The
Nestor-and the same holds good of
the Ulysses-has very few three or
four berth cabins, but single and
double berth rooms occupy the vast
majority of the sleeping apartments.
Every inside cabin has a skylight,
thus the need for switching On the
electric light every time a room is
entered disappears. Bedsteads, In
stead of hunks, have been installed
in the majority of the cabins for one
or two passengers. Weather doors
on the promenade decks are also a
new departure! The dining saloon,
amidships, and occupying the full
width of the vessel, Is an apartment
the like of which has never, it is said,
been even distantly approached in
any craft which has yet visited the
Commonwealth. The, popular restau-
rant table style has been adopted.
The social hall, where ladies may
smoke. is an apartment which is re-
ported to equal anything found on
the latest vessels running between
Europe and New York. The Nestor
and Ulysses are one-funnel ships,
each with two pole masts. The latest
appliances for cargo handling are in
stalled, as we'll as the most up-to-
date lfve-seving gear and wireless
telegraphy. The Nestor is described
as the finest vessel that will ever
have visited the Southern Hemis-
phere,
