MAKING MEAT SAFE
Sixty Per Cent Killed Under Fed

Hundred Million Meat Animals sIauoh.
tered Each Year In United States
-Tuberculosls 10 Chief Cause
Of Condemnation.

Neutrality-suspicious. than $4,000, 900
meat animals were slaughtered in es-
Establishments under federal inspection
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1915. Since approximately from 5S to
go per cent of the animals killed IN
the country are slaughtered in estab-
slishments where federal inspection is
maintained, it appears that about 1907
100000 meat animals are now being
killed each year in the United States.
OF the animals subjected to federal
inspection, 299,958 were condemned AZ
unfit for human use, and 644,6SS were
condemned in part. Thus little more
than ~ per cent of all the animals
inspected were condemned either in
whole or in part. These figures in.
clude only cattle, calves, sheep, goats
and swine. :
Tuberculosis was the chief cause OF
the condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 car.
casses of swine were entirely rejected
on account of this disease, and in ad.
dition, parts of $4,000 cattle and 10000
swine. Hog cholera was responsible
for the next largest loss, nearly 1927
900 swine being condemned entirely on
this account.
I The annual appropriation for the fed
eral meat inspection service is now
about 5000. so that the cost to the
people would be between and 6 cents
per animal and carcasses. In addition,
however great quantities of the meat
and products are re-inspected. In tlris
item there was very considerable IN
crease during the last fiscal year, the
re-inspection resulting in the condem-
nation OF total Of nearly 19.000.0o0
pounds of products Of one kind or
another. Furthermore 245,O00.0O0
pounds of imported meat or meat prod.
ucts were inspected, and more than
1000, 900 pounds condemned or refused
! entry.
In the course of its work, the bu.
reau of animal industry, which is in
charge of the meat inspection service,
has discovered a new method of de.
stroying trichinae in pork, which is
an additional safeguard to human
health. Refrigeration at tempera.
ture of degrees, F., or lower, for a
period of 20 days, will destroy these
parasites which occasionally give rise
in human beings to the serious dis.
ease known as trichinosis. Hitherto
the only known safeguard against this
disease has been thorough cooking OF
all pork and pork products, and those
persons who neglect this precaution
have always been more or less exposed
to the danger. Unless pork is known
to have been subjected to refrigeration
as above indicated, it should be thor
oughly cooked. The. microscopic ex.
animation of pork for thetdetection of
trichinae has been abandoned as the
usual methods have proved Inefficient.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that more. swine were slaughtered
in the past year in establishments un.
der federal inspection than ever be.
fore. A total of 36,247,953 were in,
spected at the time of slaughter, and
approximately 35,900,000 passed TO.

WATCH YOUR CHlLDREN'S
 NOSES.
q ! q . . [, . q q q

The physical examination of school children shows that in many instanc- es they breathe through the mouth because they cannot breathe proper ly or sufficiently through the nose. This may be due to bad habits in regard to keeping the nose clean, or, in majority of instances, to a growth which is known as "adenoids" and which stops up the back of the nose. In either case, the air is not breathed through the nose, and the child becomes what is known as a mouth breather'
 Constant breathing through the mouth causes the child to become pale, restless in it's sleep and dull in it's actions. The child often speaks as though it had cold in it's head. Frequently there is almost constant discharge from the nose.
 Mouth breathing renders child especially liable to contract tuberc- ulosis and other infectious diseases: in fact, the child has very little re- sistance to disease of any kind.
 Every child should be given a handkerchief, and be taught to thoroughly blow the nose several times each day. If, after doing this regularly, the child is still unable to breathe properly through the nose, it is probable that an adenoid growth is present Such children should be taken to the family physician or to a dispensary for further advice and treatment.

Washing and Cleaning Silk and Woolens

Washing silk and woolen goods is anything but laborious, so the mis- tress should do it herself if possible. If not, she might superintend the process, she furnishing the intelli- gence and the maid the hands.
 WASH IN GASOLINE.
 Such small articles as mems white silk mufflers. babies sacks, etc, can be dry cleaned satisfactorily with gasoline.
 The articles to be cleaned are put into the gasoline and closely cover ed for a couple of hours or less ac- cording to the condition of the ar ticles If very much soiled add to the gasoline little strong jelly made from boiling pure white soap and water together.
 After soaking squeeze the goods through the hands to remove soil and rinse in clear gasoline. The soapy mixture will have to be thrown away. but the rinsing gasoline can be used over again. To know how much soap jelly to use stir in and mix thoroughly until the gasoline is like 8 thin emulsion.
 DO NOT HANG.
 Large silk and woolen garments must be washed with soap and wa ter. The points to be remembered are, use warm, but not hot water, never rub soap directly on silk or wool and never in any case hang knitted woolen garment up to dry. Its weight will stretch it all out of shape so that it will never fit the owner again and all the careful washing will be for naught.
 To cleanse knitgoods generally make warm suds, adding borax both to soften the water and to assist the soap. Some persons prefer am monia but there is always danger of this turning white silk or wool yellow. It depends upon the meth cd used when bleaching the fabrics at their manufacture. Borax is per fectly safe.

Perhaps one of the most service. able materials for all-around wear is serge. It has long held the lead ing place among the heavier mater ials for dress goods. Yet there are serges and serges, and the wise wo- man will learn to discriminate be tween the kind that promises long service and the kind that looks at tractive while it is new. but which will go the way of all adulterated and poorly finished goods soon af- ter it is worn.
 A hard finished serge is bound to wear shiny in no time. When you are selecting material for your serge suit or gown be sure that you remove your gloves in order to test the feel" of the fabric. A hard finish serge will feel hard and wiry in the hand If only the hard fin ished serge will do for your purpose remember that the best quality that you can buy will give you the best satisfaction If the garment becomes shiny try rubbing the shiny spot with piece of black emery board This friction causes the nap to rise again. and makes vast improve ment in the appearance of the gar ment

but on the other hand the home seamstress of today isn't at all sure to finish things carefully, and al most any tub frock will outlive a season, and there's no denying that the ready made frocks, even when cheap, have more style and original ity than the average home made frock. Why shouldn't they have these characteristics? They are de signed by high priced designers. even though they are turned out by the thousands.
 Little cotton danglers border mar row frills of the under petticoat, and one sees them used not only on lingerie frocks but upon lingerie parasols. One pretty parasol was not only bordered by those little balls, but was dotted all over with them, each ball attached by stout thread and just free enough to move with the motion of the parasol.
 Irish crochet drops and buttons are much used too, though the lace itself is out of favor, and some of the very narrow Irish edsings this spring are used a great deal for finishing frills and flounces and folds without actually assuming the importance of trimming. There are many charming headings and veinings too, and these are greatly used for joining seams. setting in trimmings separating groups of tucks, etc. Some of the new fine Cluny things of this sort are par ticularly good and there are many fine and dainty lingerie frocks and blouses that have little or no trim. mings other than such beading.
 The Empire frocks look very we'll with shirred girdles. Belts of black faille with rows of tucks, natural colored pongee fastened at the side with two flat silk covered buttons or a girdle of red pongee will be stunning with white or natural col ored pongee skirts or frocks.

The reason is not far to seek for the popularity of this seasons modes, for they show greater diversity than ever. The girl who lives out of doors now comes in for special at tention just now, many delightful blouses, coats. separate skirts and sweaters being designed especially for her use, according to our New York correspondent.
 Sports coats are things of beauty this spring. Not much use for sport itself, unless one classes Flirtatons at the head of all sports. The silk sweater is the thing. 4 knitted silk sweater with scarf and cap to match are always modish and popular, if expensive. The sports coat glove silk, of brush silk and of soft satin are not so much beyond the average woman's purse. At least not of those women who care for sport and pursue it vigorously.
 The finest of linen lawn in deli cate colors Is the material chosen for some of the most charming tub frocks for the simple type. Fine stripes of white and color are available in the same fine linen lawn as we'll as in the heavier grades of handkerchief linen; and these make up very smartly; but the models in plain color when sue cessful are perhaps a trifle more bewitching than the striped ones In selecting tub frocks one must be careful. For the color might come out in the washing, One can't wash samples to see whether they will fade, The materials are not like ly to have been shrunken and con sequently the frocks will need alter ing after the first tubbing. The finishing may not be so good as that done by careful seamstress, and in consequence the garment may not wear so we'll as the home made frocks, if the latter are we'll made;
