MODERN INDUSTRY AND DEATH
Statistics Show That tho Two Are
Closely Allied, in Spite Of Ad-
vance Of Science.

Some time ago statistics were made
public in this country showing that
industry is making men old at forty.
Now, France goes the United States
one better. In that country statistics
show old age is totally denied to a
great portion Of the population.
DR.. Jacques Bertillon of the Paris
municipal statistical department has
Just made public figures which show
the terrific effects that industry, with
its diseases and accidents, exercises
over large part Of the working
people of France. The number Of
workingmen who live to "a good old
age" in that country is growing fewer
year by year. Industrial diseases
break most toilefs in their prime.
These wholesale sacrifices can no
longer be excused on the ground that
they are the inevitable risks Of in
dustry. A generation or two ago
death and disease might still have
been claimed as intrinsic accessories
to industrial progress. But not today.
Science has shown the way to combat
many industrial diseases and insure
reasonable safety even in dangerous
occupations. A host of technical safe
guards have been put out to prevent
killing and manning by machinery.
What Is needed to deprive the shop,
the factory and mine of its death
dealing attributes is a closer union be-
tween science and government, be-
tween laboratory and legislative hall.

MEAT DISHES.

BY adding different food stuffs to
meat the meat goes farther and Is 80
lessening to the butchers bill.
Veal With Spaghetti.-Cut two
pounds of veal from the shoulder in
small-sized pieces to serve, brown in
hot fat, add two sliced onions, a ta-
blespoonful of salt, a dash of red pep
per, a tablespoonful of sugar, can
of tomatoes and a pound package of
spaghetti. Cook slowly three hours on
the back Of the stove or in the caloric
cooker Mutton, with carrots and
peas, may be cooked the same way.
Small pork sausage friend until part
ly cooked. then covered with a pop-
over batter and baked is a good meat
dish
Hungarian Sauerkraut.-Mix togeth-
er a cup of cooked rice, a half pound
each of ground pork and beef, one egg
and onion chopped and Drowned in
butter, salt and pepper. Brown three
tablespoonfuls of -four in kettle, turn
in the sauerkraut, turn and heat
through, adding little water. Make
oblong rolls of the meat mixture, lay
In the kettle on the kraut and fold the
meat in it. Cook slowly for an hour
in the fireless cooker.
Oriental Stew.-Simmer gently to-
gether two cups of lamb or mutton,
cup of water, two tablespoonfuls Of
butter, chopped onion, two small po-
tatoes sliced, cup of cooked peas or
beans chopped. Season with salt and
pepper and teaspoonful of curry
powder Boil half cup of rice, and
when tender place as a border around
the stew. The rice should be seasoned
while cooking.
Surprise 5iscults.-Make a soft bis
cult dough, roll out and cut in bis
cults, spread with minced cooked
beef that has been we'll seasoned.
Lay on another biscuit (they should
be quite thin), and bake. Pour over
rich, brown gravy and serve piping
hot. This makes nice supper dish

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY TABLE.

There is no more apptizing salad
Eor one so simple and easily prepared
as shredded cabbage dressed with
cream and sugar, with little vinegar
and a pinch of salt. II sour cream Is
used one does not need to add as
much vinegar.
old-Fashloned 6eans.-Wash and
put pint of beans to soak over night
in soft water. In the morning parboil
them in fresh water until tender;
drain, and season with a teaspoonful
of salt, half teaspoonful of mustard,
a dash Of cayenne pepper, two table
spoonfuls Of molasses, half n cup OF
butter and hot water enough to cover
the beans. Cover the bean pot and
bake five or six hours. Just before
serving, beat a fourth of a cup of
cream, add two tablespoonfuls of to-
mato catsup. a teaspoonful OF onion
juice; use this sauce on each portion
Of beans, as served.
There is no dessert which is more
wholesome for the child than a we'll
baked apple. Wash and core It, and
bake, filling the cavity with sugar. A
bit of lemon juice and butter will
often improves a favorless apple.
Economical Fruit Cake.-Take one
and half cups of sour cream, a tea
spoonful OF soda, half teaspoonful of
salt, two eggs, two cups of sugar, one
cup of chopped raisins, citron and nut
meats, if desired; teaspoonful Of
cinnamon, one-half teaspoon Of cloves,
one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg, and
flour to make a soft batter like ginger
bread.
Du Barry Soup.-Chop six blanched
almonds, pint Of potatoes, two table
spoonfuls of onion, two tablespoonfuls
Of cooked rice, teaspoonful Of pars-
ley and a teaspoonful Of nutmeg.
Thicken with tablespoonful of -four
and butter cooked together; add three
quarts of stock and cook slowly two
hours. Rub through a sieve, add two
cups of hot milk and a tablespoonful
OF whipped cream for the top Of each
soup cup or plate.
Put peeled potatoes through the
coarse knife Of the meat chopper, sea-
son with onion and salt and fry in a
little hot suet until well Drowned.

SOME GOOD DISHES.

Most housekepers appreciate a good
cake. one that is not too expensive.
and may be the foundation for q va
riety of kinds. Here IL is:
Cream or soften a fourth Of cup
Of butter add one and q half cups OF
sugar cup of milk two and a half
cups of flour two teaspoonsfuls OF bak
ing powder. Beat the eggs until dry,
and add last. Bake in three layers.
Bananas and whipped cream make a
delicious filling for this cake. To
vary this recipe. add nuts and fruit 20
one layer, spices, or coloring to one,
and In this way one has a change,
with the same foundation.
Take tough beef. rub we'll with OF
i've oil, add little parsley, bay leaf
and few tablespoonfuls OF vinegar.
Let the meat lie In this over night,
then brown and roast in the kettle, us
ing the oil and vinegar to baste it with
while cooking.
East indian Meat.-Put pound and
half OF round steak and half pound
Of lean fresh pork through the meat
chopper, add q green pepper. en onion
(both chopped), a cup of soft bread
crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Mix
well and make into loaf Put into a
baking pan. cover with slices OF ba-
con and pour over a can of tomatoes.
Bake an hour and a quarter. Remove
the meat to a hot platter and thicken
the sauce, pour over and serve. This
Is good sliced cold.
When we learn, as the French and
other nations have learned, to use
meat simply as a flavor, and other
foods in combination for nourishment,
we will not be SO exercised about high
prices.
Oatmeal and Hamburg Steak.-A
cup Of cooked oatmeal added to the
we'll seasoned hamburg before cooking
will make 1t go farther in the serving,
without spelling the favor or cutting
down the food value. Hamburg is al
ways improved by the addition OF salt
pork and little onion, scraped.
Lay little salt herring on toast, and
pour hot seasoned cream over 1t.
Serve piping hot as a supper dish. No
salt will be needed, but dash OF cay
enne will improve the flavor. Heat
the fish and butter the toast

Zones of Silence.

Zones Of silence such as that dis
covered in the Alps have been known
to scientists for long time. Some
years ago a committee conducted q
series of experiments in the English
channel with the loudest and most
ear piercing sirens, whistles and hoot-
ers they could procure. 1t was found
that sometimes on the clearest and
quietest day sound was unaccounta-
bly, inaudible at short distance. This
demonstrated conclusively the exis-
tence of soundless zones and incident.
ally suggested an explanation Of GER
tain ocean disasters.

go toward building up strong. sym.
metrical top.
Stormy days are the times for ma.
king up small fruit boxes and crates.
II allowed to lie many weeks, how
ever, they lose their fresh appearance.
which Is not good thing.
Poultry confined to a small area in
the orchard will destroy the pupae OF
the apple maggot.
A fruit tree In every fence corner
would look better than weeds.
Is your orchard full Of weeds and
other litter, to provide snug home
for mice?
Beware of the irresponsible tree
agent. Stick to the nursery firms that
are known to be honest and have a
reputation to sustain.
When the professional tree butcher
comes along with his saws and hooks
and axes tell him to go. These fellows
ruin thousands Of trees every year be-
cause they are ignorant Of the correct
principles of pruning.
A dope" made Of one part strych-
nine, one-third of one part borax, one
part sirup and ten parts of water will
knock out mice and rabbits. Sprinkle
it over small sprouts and put them in
the runway
Among small fruits there Is nothing
the equal of the strawberry as a
money-getter. Results In yields that
would seem to the uninitiated vision
airy are possible where conditions are
at all favorable.
1t is none the less true, also, that
yields from strawberry culture will
vary with the seasons in greater ex-
tremes than any of the other small
fruits. 1t Is not every variety OF
strawberry that is equally at home on
all soils and under every condition.
The variety that is Hest adapted to the
soil Of my farm may not be the best
variety for my neighbors farm. In
this respect the strawberry is a par
ticular sort Of plant.
