VINEGAR KILLS THE GERMS
Best Of Reasons Why the condlmeni
Should Always BE Used Llber-
ally on Salads.

Drs. Loir and Legagneux Of Paris
have been testing vinegar as a de-
stroyer OF the germs of typhoid fever.
That they are killed by a mixture OF
wine and water in equal parts has
long been known. These investiga-
tors prove now that twenty germs of
vinegar to a liter OF water kill the
typhoid bacillus In an hour and FIVE
minutes.
From this" writes the Paris cor
respondent Of the Lancet, "a practical
inference may be drawn concerning
salads. After washing the salad as
usual, detaching each leaf, 1t should
be put into water calculated with ten
grams of vinegar to the liter and re-
main immersed in this liquid for
about an hour and a quarter. All
vegetables ordinarily eaten uncooked
may be subjected without any incon-
venience to the same process"
A liter is equivalent to about Q
quart and ten grams are equivalent to
about third OF an ounce. So, II let
tuce or other greens for salad be
placed In water to which about one
third of an ounce of vinegar has been
added and be left for about an hour
and a quarter, all danger Of typhoid
fever will be removed.

CARE IN SELECTING MUTTON
Healthful Meat May Be Good or Bad.
According to conditlon-Mueh
Fat Good.

Mutton is generally considered the
most healthful meat, and is eaten by
many, to the exclusion of any variety.
Consequently great care should be ex.
ercised in the selection, and a little
time should be given to the study of
quality.
In buying mutton Tor lamb care
should be taken to see that the fat is
clear, hard and white. as mutton with
soft or yellow fat indicates too long
stay in cold storage. It might appear
that great quantity of fat on mutton
signifies waste; but the lean part Is
much jucier and more tender when
this is the case, so the wise housewife
makes purchases with this in view.
The leg has the least fat in proper.
ton to weight. Next comes the shout.
der. The color of lean mutton is a
deep red.
Lamb is good to eat when one year
old and is much more digestible than
other immature meat, such as veal or
young pork. The wise housewife
knows the value of nutrition, so she
viii hesitate about buying lamb mere
ly because 1t is in market, as it is gen.
orally expensive.
The meat of spring lamb should be
a clear pink. with plenty Of pure white
fat.

NO TERMINAL "
FOR AMID0N
Farmers of That Vicinity Protest
r
Against Terminal
Elevators.

The farmers of Amidon and vicin-
ICY are up in rms against the terml-
nal elevators proposition and seem to
agree pretty thoroughly with the
board of control with regards to the
desirability Of state owned terminal
elevators.
Representative List presented the
following communication in the house
shows the feeling of the Amidon far
mers against the terminal elevator
proposition: '"' .,
I'VE the undersigned Farmers Of
Anidon and vicinity understand that
the matter of voting upon the appro-
priation of 100000 for the erection Of
a terminal elevator in St. Paul will
come before you in the legislature
presently. .
"We wish to enter a most vigorous
protest against this measure. We
are fully persuaded that it will not
aid us in the least and further we do
not wish to furnish money for st.
Paul in her strife with Minneapolis.
1t would be just as consistent to sup
ply Minneapolis with two hundred
thousand dollars to build up a hog
and cattle market. q
"Our taxes are now too burden
some. We hardly meet them when
they are due. So we most respect
fully urge that you use your influ-
ence against this most obnoxious and
Ubiquitous bill. Yours very respect
fully, A. J. Mitchell" and % others.

TIM is RIPE.

There should be no opposition to
Williams capitol bill. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the present edifice
is Inadequate. The time to begin is
now, as it will take at least two years
to present a working plan to the leg
islature. The appropriation is small
and will impose no burden upon the
state.
Bismarck should get behind the
measure as a unit. The bill probably
will need some slight changes. One
change suggests itself, and that is to
make the governor ex-oficio chair.
man Of the commission, rather than
Governor Hanna as permanent chair
man. This is doubtless the wish of
Governor Hanna himself.
The state assumes no obligation at
this time in creating a capitol COM
mission. Two years of study and
preparation will assemble a mass Of
valuable data and give the next legis-
lature some concrete information.
North Dakota is one Of the richest
states in the Union. The capitol
building of a state reflects to the
tourist and the prospective settler
the prosperity of the state. There is
no excuse for housing the state gov.
eminent as poorly as is now the case.
The business of the legislature is
impeded by the lack of proper facil-
tiles. There are no committee rooms

LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATIONS.

Those who pin their faith to a leg
islative Investigation are leaning on
a broken reed. The ones that have
really arrived anywhere are few and
far between. The time allotted for
the examination of the various de-
partments is short and the persons
engaged in the work SO unfamiliar
with the details that in the final an
alysis, they must accept the facts and
details as they are given by the in

The house resolution to investigate
the board of control really is based
upon the desire of the members of
that body to give the plain facts sur.
rounding every important step taken
during the last two years.
After examining the Rott charges,
the house committee on state affairs
gave the board of control a clean bill
of health. One of the charges in
the jamestown Indictment is identi-
cal with one in the Rott resolution, SO
the Knauf-Seiler-Buck specifications

posed to giving the Emergency Com.
