Hon To Avoid Pt0naine
Poisoning In Hot Weather

the only remedy d to exsrcise particuias
care In keeping meats. The health de-
partmept says: '"Take proper care Of the
refrigerator and the refrigerator viii take
proper care Of tn, meat"
Warning is given against badly con-
structed Ice chests. For every housewife
the following dents are given:
Don't keep meat In the refrigerator un-
less 1t 10 properly iced.
Don't omit to clean the refrigerator fre.
quently. using strong hot soda solution.
Don't use meat unless IT y absolutely
fresh; never attempt to freshen IL By
washing with salt soda, etc.
Don't buy chopped meats or sausage
unless absolutely sure that IL is fresh.
Finally. don't buy from any butcher un-
less sure that his meats are fresh and
handled In q sanitary manner.
Canned foodstuffs are more universally
used In summer than at any time of the
year and especial warning Is given
against using them unless absolutely sure
that the contents are good The form Of
poisoning from bad canned goods "a
known as ''butulism' or sausage pois-
oning" and Is very deadly, with q NOR
taiity rate Of 50 per cent. The microbes
causing this thrive In the absence Of air
and multiply rapidly in canned goods,
sausage. etc. Symptoms of the disease
are partial or total PARALYSIS, double Wis
Ion, painful swallowing. loss Of voice. and
interference with heart and respiration
With care In buying canned goods there
is no danger of this viruient poisoninx.
1t usually happens that the steam ster-
iiization which is part of the canning pro-
cess kills all microbes, but now and
then owing to carelessness or the can
ming machinery not working properly, q
few cans win reach the market contain
ing living microbes These multiply and
form gas that pushes up the top of the

THAT 1880 NOTE Is
STRUCK BY FASHION

The insistence with which the 1880 note
Is being struck in the world Of fashion Is
quite wonderful. On every side We find
pleats and draperies which recall the
Jersey Lily. And this Is true with re-
gard to evening gowns and walking COS
tunes alike. We are going to be 1880 In
very many respects; but. happily. we are
not going to return to the nineteen-inch
waist, which was considered the only one
possible at that period.
The natural waist will still remain pop
ular.
The Graceful Sash.
A pretty evening gown shows an at
tractive sash drapery which is 1850 in
outline. The underdress Ia composed of
fiame-colored crepe and the picturesque
sash is in sapphire-blue chiffon. This
sash, which is immensely wide, Is drawn
over the hips and then tied in q loose
bow at one side. The charming little cor
sage is formed by two large butterflies
worked in sapphire beads and paillettes
on blue tulle. Draped sashes of this kind
are introduced on afternoon as well as
evening gowns. They are always made
of very supple materials and-worn In
connection with q taffeta gown-they are
effective in shot gauze, with fringes Of
tiny porcelain beads on the loose ends Of
the bow.
Picturesque Modes.
Leading painters have Joined hands In
q determined attempt to revive the taste
for picturesque. paintable modes. Some
famous Paris dressmakers have openly
expressed their opinion that a restless
spirit Of exaggeration is destroying that
refined and cultured taste which has lent
Hower and meaning to the words. Paris
Fashions" The woman Of fine taste has
become dissatisfied. She has. in sense.
pulled up. In the future II will not be
an easy task to induce her to accept SEN
sational models.
Now that all the new evening gowns
are sleeveless the question of arms be-
comes an important one. It Is not every
woman who can. with good effect. expose
her arms right up to the shoulder. And
yet this will have to be done, for sleeves
are fading away to nothing.
Hero again We have an echo from 1Sso.
Anyone who takes the trouble to look up
old photographs taken In that year will
find the rather tight. cross-over corsage.
without sleeves, which We are wearing
today.
Now, one thing is certain. and 1t is this:
Very much can be done to improve the
shape and color Of ones arms For IN
stance. the nightly massage with almond
or olive oil This Is a very simple and
inexpensive remedy. but excellent. Fill
the palm Of the left hand with oil and
gently, but very firmly. massage the right
arm from shoulder to wrist. Keep up the
regular movement for at least ten min
utes, then do the same for the other arm
