WHEN THEY KEEP CLEAN.
Then American Cities Are Healthier
Than the Country.


DR.. Woods Hutchinson in American
Magazine: The country must look to
it's laurels from a health point Of view.
A century, yes, half a century ago, a
contest between the open country n
the crowded city for the title Of the
healthiest place TO live in would have
been like the race between the tortoise
and the hare. Every advantage, ap-
parently, was on the side Of the coun-
try.
Cities were described as pest-holes,
cancers upon the body polite, ana We
were solemnly assured that no family,
however, vigorous, could survive Tor
more than three generations IN their
pestilent atmosphere.
But. nothing daunted, the busy,
busting, smoke clOuded, CRIME
smeared, over-CrOwded, n~oise-deaten-
ed city threw off it's coat and buckled
down to work to make itself a fit
place to live in, and the results are
alreatdy beginning to show.
Because most of. The milk i'll Il great
metropolis is from w o to three days
old before it reaches the consumer,
and would consequently be n tenn
ing mass of bacteria if 1t had been
dirtily produced, or carelessly handled,
as it was on the Old-fashiOned farm,
systems Of milk inspection were es-
tablished, so hat now the purest and
richest milk to be obtained anywhere
in the world is sold in our great cities,
and the average purity and richness
of the entire supply of London, Berlin.
or Buenos Ayres is higher than h OF
most country towns and farm dis
tricts.
BECAUSE of average higher incomes
and the greater abundance and variety
Of food supplies the year round, par
ticularly of fruit and fresh vegetables
in winter, together with prompter and
more efficient handling of epidemic
and contagious disease, the death rate
of our great cities has for nearly
twenty years past begun to compare
very favorably with that Of the open
country. And this, in spite of their
huge Stun populations, their large
proportion Of immigrants, either from
abroad or from the country. who have
not yet adjusted themselves to city
life, and the greater opportunities for
spread of contagious disease from
oVercrOWding.

Cheese Fritters

q Beat two eggs, season with salt,
pepper and a suspicion of mustard
n then lay in this seasoned egg as
many thin slices of cheese as it will
hold. Have ready tart apples cored
and sliced crosswise, without peeling.
Put a slice of cheese. between two
rounds of apple sandwich fashion; dip
the sandwiches in the egg, lay in a
well-greased paper bag and cook ten
minutes. If preferred, the f~ritters
can be cooked in the chafng dish or
on the stove, using the vegetable oil
as frying medium. Serve very hot.

In the first place, never come to the
table with a mind full of worries and
troubles or in an irritable state of
temper: nor, again, should you at
tempt to eat when very fatigued, says
a physician. Both these states tend
to diminish the blood supply to the di-
gestive organs and therefore to hinder
digestion.
Do not read or study when eating,
but also do not sit glumly silent; a lit
tie pleasant conversation is helpful and
prevents one getting into the obnox-
ious and dangerous habit of boiling
ones food.
Masticate your food thoroughly. The
preservation of the teeth : depends
largely on the use or misuse of them at
meal times; to maintain them in health

The AaronIane in War.

London Times: Details which have
reached Paris show that the Russian
aviator. NJ. Sakoff, played a not unim-
portant part in the taking of Yanina.
He left NicopoIis on a biplane on Feb.
s, carrying six bombs. At a height of
$50 feet he steered for the forts sur
rounding the town. His machine was
assaiIed by artillery and rife fire and
two bullets struck the biplane, but
the parts hit were not vital and, the
pilot was able to continue his flight.
over FORT Bezhani, which was the key
TO the situation, NJ. Sakoff dropped his
six bombs, which did considerable
damage and caused a panic. In the

A Joke on Joaquin Miller That He

There is one story concerning a

OF course, this young girl never re-

her yapid verses on dead canaries and

If Your Hair Is Red.

The woman who would appear well
should give due consideration TO the
subject of the colors that suit her
best, and a safe rule in this is to Sc
lect the coIors that serve as a sue
cessful foil to her, hair.
For outdoor winter wear black is
undoubtedly the best for the red
haired women After black some very
dark shade of a color may be chosen
provided it is not red. If blue is Sc
lected, navy blue is advised: if brown,
a deep seal brown, for all crude bright
colors, by their sharp contrasts, mar
instead of enhancing the beauty of the
hair.
Beautiful colors may be selected by
the ~red-haired woman for evening
wear. Pale lovely greens of the Nile.
or lily leaf tints-the more delicate
the tone the more effect--a very pale
blue or a stone gray. Blue gray is to
be avoided, as should rose-leaf pink
and coral and cherry. The two last
can be worn in moderation by the
woman whose hair is a very rich au-
burn.

To Tell Cleo from Butter.

Every housekeeper should know
how to detect oleomargarine from but
ter.
Draw the blade of a knife across the
suspected butter. If it is margarine the
place where the knife was pressed will
look white, n the track of the blade
will be marked with little beads of
water. When the test is made with
genuine butter the white look does not
appear, but the. butter holds it's color.
Another test is to drop a piece of
ed frying par. If it is spurious it win
sputter, because of the water in it; If
it is genuine it will melt and bubble
or boil, but not sputter.
