happiness, health and efficiency.
There was an old saying, Everyone
must eat his peck of dirt" Times and
thought have changed, and this peck
Of dirt has dwindled in quantity and
quality, and we are slowly but surely
coming into the light Of intelligent
and safe living. The worlds progress
depends upon It and the home is the
logical place for this work to begin
and decrease the death rate of 250,O0O
children who die annually Of prevent
able diseases. mean If women would
know the right foods for children from
the time they were born, there would
not be this terrible loss of child life.
This reform must come through the
schools and the home.
l believe that every housekeeper
wants TO give her family pure food
Usually she buys the best that her
purse allows, trusting that it may be
pure, and only having the merchants
word for it.
! l have thought a club or group OF
women might analyze a number of
.
and themselves determine their purity.
Very little is needed in the way of
equipment for this, and the work is
light and interesting. Any of these
articles for testing may be obtained
at f1rst-class drug store.
TEST FOR PURE COFFEE.
Apparatus-Glass tumbler, ice wat
er. finely ground coffee, one teaspoon
Test-Fill the tumbler three-fourths
full of ice water; add the coffee anC
stir well for a minute Withdraw the
spoon. If the coffee rises to the tor

they will sink to the bottom of the

Public sentiment for unadulterated
foods is going TO come about largely
through the sons and daughters of the
coming generation. Even schools and
colleges are preparing for this, and
they in turn will bring their knowledge
or experiments along this line into the
home. The work has already begun,
and homes and domestic science
schools should work together as a
unit.
Why, a kindergarten child readily
saw its value when someone met him
on the street one day and said:
Hello, Jack, where did you get
those red cheeks?. You didn't use to
have them"
oh" he replied, I'VE are having
pure food at our house now, and DR..
Wiley is our doctor"
The president said recently that
sanitary laws, pure food laws and
these rigidly enforced, are absolutely
| essential for healthful efficiency of ev.
cry man and woman, boy or girl in our
country"
The nation will welcome this assur,
ance from the president, as there is
nothing which more yitally concerns
every human being. young or old, thar
the purity Of our food. 1t is not quan
tity we are crying for, but quality The
