hOuseHocpers complain that in spite
Of all precautions the milk sours
quickly, even in the iccbox. This is
often due to the fact that the air Of
the icebox, although it seems cold in
contrast with the heat outside, is not
really cold enough to check the growth
OF the bacteria. The temperature
should be kept at least as low as 50
degrees Fahrenheit, and should be
tested with a thermometer during ex-
cessive summer heat.
Rcceptacles in which milk is to be
placed should be freshly scalded to re-
move any bacteria or mould spores. 1t
has been proved that seamless pans
are best, as they provide no rough SUR
face to which stale milk may cling.
New milk must never be mixed with
old unless it is to be used at once, as
the bacteria in the old milk will, of
course, be added also and the mixture
will not keep as well as the fresh milk
alone
The bacteria which by their growth
render milk unsafe, are present every
where in the air with dust, IN every
particle of dirt, in water. on the hands
and clothing. on all utensils and yes
sells. Therefore TO utensil, spoon or
receptacle should be used which has
not been sterilzed, especially when the
milk is TO be given to the sick or 70
infants. Although such milk may not
contain the seed Of any certain dis
case. it often causes serious digestive
disturbances with young children or
the sick, and may become indirectly
the cause Of fatal maladies.
Infan. diseases chiefly prevail in the
hot season, when flies abound, and the
Az is also often responsible for the
death OF children because of pollutlng

rial Of milk afford medium peculiarly
favorable To- the development of dis
ease germs. as we'll as the useful bac-
terra. which aid in butter and cheese
making. The growth Of such micro
organisms is FASTENED by moderate
heat. but the majority are killed by
raising the milk TO the boiling point,
as is done by pasteurization or sterlli-
cation. Disease germs that in water
would not multiply and would prob
ably live but a short time increase
abundantly in milk. When in doubt
concerning the safety either Of the
aforementioned methods may be used.
Sterilization requires temperature
of PIP degrees Fahrenheit, continued
for about twenty minutes. This proc
ess usually changes the flavor of the
milk so that il is disagreeable to many
people. The high temperature also
causes the fat globules TO separate in
stead Of being retained in the form Of
cream.
Pasteurization takes its name from
the noted French scientist Pasteur, and
consists in raising the milk to tenn
perature Of about 1855 degrees Fahren-
heit. keeping it there for fifteen min
utes and then allowing it to cool
quickly. BY this means the flavor Of
the milk is unchanged. Since the solid
portions of milk readily adhere TO the
bottom Of a saucepan placed in direct
contact with heat and the resulting
burned flavor rapidly penetrates the
whole of the milk, a double boiler is
the best utensil TO use when heating it.
1t must be borne in mind that no
amount of pssteurizatiOn or steriliza-
ton can make bad milk good. They
merely destroy disease germs. The
chemical changes in the milk which
through age has begun to deteriorate
are beyond retrieve.

at is not a necessity. Even eco
nomically feminism is not essential to
modern life. Women could all stop work
ing at once, if they wanted to. There
would be men TO take their places, and
there would be methods Of taking care
of the exceptional woman who has no
man kin. But women, from the very
first moment in which they entered the
working field ASSOCIATED from the
home, have done so because they
wanted TO. They are not satisfied with
what the man can give them, therefore
they prefer to augment their necessi-
ties, comforts or Injuries through their
own earnings.
"And they desire to express them
selves, to be of greater service, TO

THE world is full of half-orphans.
The child is reared by maternal
instinct. it thrives on maternal
love, it is taught by maternal mental
ity. The only phase Of paternal train
ing with which il comes In contact is
that curious thing called paternal au-
thority. Let us therefore" adds DR..
Ira S Vile, in conclusion to the fore
going observations, stop talking about
things maternal. The child has parents.
The maternal conscience has been
awakened. Let us now stir the paren-
tai consciousness"
Evidently man has been so busy de-
fining woman's place as the home that
he has overlooked the salient fact that
he, too. has a definite duty TO perform
there. why" asks Dr.. Vile, has man

Mint Apple Jelly.

Apple Jelly very delicately favored
with mint will be found delicious to
serve with roast duck, lamb or goose.
Il is made in the usual manner from
tart juicy apples not overripe. Add to
each cupful of the strained apple juice
one tablespoonful Of mint extract and
then proceed as for ordinary jelly, using
equal measures of juice and sugar. To
prepare the mint extract take one cup
full of fresh mint leaves well pressed
down and steep slowly for one hour in
q small cupful of boiling water. Then
strain through a very thin cloth,
squeezing out all the juice that will
come. This furnishes an attractive
color, making the jelly bright green.
Mint ice or frappe, as it is sometimes
called. is a delicious novelty. Boil one
quart Of water and a coffee cupful of
sugar together for fifteen minutes.
Then add one cupruf OF fresh mint
leaves which have been chopped fine
and soaked for one hour in small
cupful of cold water. Heat the whole
to the boiling pont, strain. and when
cold add the juice of two oranges ana
one lemon. Turn into the freezer and
freeze slowly for FIVE minutes; then re-
move the cover. stir in the stiftiy
vbipped white Of one egg and continue
freezing until firm and smooth. Serve
in small crystal sherbet cups sprin-

Instinct a Trouble Maker.

And all this in response to my query
as to the status Of the average woman
as q proper guardian for her child.
"She does not know enough about the
care Of a baby. She leaves it to in
stinct. and instinct will never do any
thing but get her into trouble. she
should be taught wifehood and mother
hood in her schools and colleges. But
so should the man. Will you tell me,
please, what training the average man
has 10 be a parent? Will you tell me,
rlease, to what his paternal instinct is
going to lead him" But women, by
his own words. had done altogether too
much thinking for man, so | reminded
DR.. Vile that he would have to prove
his case himself, and his opening es-
say what that man has been cheated
for ages Of the inalienable right Of
parenthood. And DR.. Vile plans an
instruction.
LET the mans training for father
hood, or. rather, parenthood, start dur
ing his school years. Let him learn
there, first Of all, that his actions will
have direct bearing upon his chill
dren. Then he says, as he goes on,
study carefully the subject of hygiene,
child psychology, education and the
various other branches Of our knowl-
edge which bear upon the training of
child, and then when he becomes
father he will have a good foundation
upon which to base his further obser-
walton and studies as to the practical
application and adaptation of the the
cries which he has formulated"

their children. They do. They are
very anxious, too, that their children

are of vital interest to the father, and

DR.. Vile smiled, and I thought of the
pathetic average father of the child,
who knew nothing about his child OK
cept when he was naughty and it was
the painful duty Of the father to pun
ish him. He knew that the child went
TO school, and passed his examinations
well or i'll, in which case he must be
made to realize the importance Of do
ing his work with manly application
But when it came to constructive
training the father bashfully and un-
comfortably withdrew from the field.
"The average fathers parental task is
prohibitory, and occasionally manda-
tory in a negative sense. It is seldom

this connection.
DR.. Vile is the leader OF a parents
club which meets regularly and dis
cusses vital and incidental affairs of
child life, with personal applications.
"And the men thoroughly enjoy it.
They enter into the discussions with
quite as much avidity as their wives,

men we're intelligent. She asscnted
readily. "They were very funny at
first. But now they are quite intelli-
gent, and are most serious over it. And
they are a great help TO US poor
mothers who have had TO bear the bur
den so long alone"
Naturally, to be consistent with this
point of view, of the man and the
home, DR.. Vile must be a feminist.
