Canvass Has Been Thorough.

The city has been secured ana

Neither | nor any ono else in the
campaign has any understanding oi

of big contributions was gone INTO

wife, Must Be Sacrificed for
the General Family Good.

II the national campaign against tu-
berculosis is going to be a success, 1t
cannot be too strongly impressed that,
like charity, preventive measures must
begin at home. Fresh air must be oo-
tanned by each occupant of every room
in the house. This can never be &C
complished until housewives realize
that the body is Of more value than
raiment and an abundant supply OF
pure air of more Importance TO lie
than the maintenance of the tradition

dow curtains.
The fear of soiling white curtains
and also of admitting dust and dirt IN
to the rooms where it can settle on
furniture and ornaments is quite as
much responsible for the closed win
dow habit as is the dislike of draughts'
1t is hard to overcome prejudice, and
harder still to root out an old estab-
lished custom, but, nevertheless, these
elementary facts Of hygiene should
be taught plainly and simply to elder
girls in school SO that wiser habits
of house management may be incul-
Gated.
To abolish curtains altogether from
the windows of private dwellings
would be, perhaps, too much to expect
of the present generation, but If this
ideal cannot yet be attained, they
might be made of some less expensive
or more readily renewable material.

CHARACTER TOLD BY RECIPES
autobiography of Housewife Is Re-
veaIed in Cooking Directions
Which She Keeps.

BY nothing is a housekeeper more
distinctly known than by her cooking
recipes. A collection from different
sources is almost autobiographical.
Between the lines one may estimate
the amount of income, the size of the
family, the character of their enter
tanning, and to some extent the men
tai caliber of the writer. One person
may be habitually extravagant in the
use of eggs and butter, another is
conspicuously stingy. The house
keeper, cooking for large family,
gives directions on such an ample
scale that the bride is appalled,.
Some cooks run to the elaborate and
fussy, and and others restrict them
dishes. Some evidently cater to del
icate stomachs, and show in their Sc
lections that there are invalids and
children at their table. Others seem
to revel in delicious indigestibles.
AS to the form in which a recipe
Is given, the writer shows plainly
whether she is systematic and me-
thodical or careless and haphazard.
The order in which ingredients are
put together and a careful measure
ment of the materials are indispen-
sable features of a recipe. Nothing
is SO discouraging to a beginner as
the vague reference to flour enough
for a stiff dough-" or milk enough
for a thin batter" The housekeeper
whose pantry shelves are kept in good
order is apt to write neat and ex-
plot recipe. The knack is worth &C
quiring.
