HOME THAT IS TRULY HOME
It's Creation Is Wholly the Art Of.
Woman, and Really Her
LIES Best Work.

A home is not merely house; it Is
an atmosphere; it is a place Of be-
loved associations, where you can
wear old clothes, and think old
thoughts, and hear familiar voices
without hearing them. You can be
happy there, and be comfortably un-
happy. be thoroughly. unpleasant
even, and, know that those you love
will think no worse of you than they
do already. Luxury cannot make
home, nor can books, or pictures, or
rugs, or bric-a-brac. A cat, a canary.
two geraniums, a Bible and an old
rocking chair may make one of the
loveliest homes in the world. At the
same time home is not necessarily
happy because it is the house Of pow
erty, as some would have US believe.
The art of creating home atmo-
sphere is wholly the art of woman,
and she has none more charming.
Mere care will not do it, or mere
neatness and tidiness; indeed those
things sometimes work the other way
The love of prettiness will not do
it; good cooking will not do it, al
though it is mighty help. Even be-
ing gay and merry, and kindly yourself
is not quite enough. although it helps
even more than the cooking. Sue

else, requires that you shall feel a
real Joy in your work. If it is. drag.
IL 1t is an irksome duty, If your mind
Is on a thousand outside things that
are not home, you cannot make home
what it should be. Not that the home
maker should think of nothing else.

perborate Powder Prevents Infection

Serborate Powder Prevents infection
The very latest treatment for
wounds. cuts or broken blisters, in
which there is contamination or sus-
pected contamination from the soil,
Is to powder them with sodium per-
borate. This salt. when mixed with
blood or pus. liberates large quantities
of free oxygen and keeps this up for
about twenty-four hours. according to
DR.. A. G. R.. Foulerton, who contrib
utes to the London Lancet an exhaus-
tive study of the effects Of the per
borate.
The bacilli that cause tetanus and
those that produce gaseous gangrene
are killed and prevented from sporting
by the oxygen. Doctor Foulerton says
that washing out thoroughly with per,
oxide of hydrogen Is the method to
use when this treatment can be ap-
piled quickly. but 1t is not always
possible to do this, while soldiers can
carry in their first-aid package small
parcel of the perborate and can
sprinkle 1t on their wounds them
selves,

WORTHY OF HIGH RANK
CHEF NOT USUALLY ACCORDED
800 HIS PROPER POSITION.
When One Comes to Think Of Il, the
Preparation Of Food Plays q Ire
nnendous Part In the Work
of the World.

"fIaiI to the chef who in triumph
advances!" Why not chef, instead
Of chief? :
Nobody ever gives enough credit
to the cook We all enjoy a GOOD
dinner, but after it is eaten. and the
di. hes. cleared away, how seldom we
think what has been the effect on
humanity of the kind of meals that
have been eaten three times day
sometimes less, rarely more) for
centuries!
Cooking is one of the principal
forces in civilization, and 1t has
played tremendous part in bring
ing mankind to the high plane it now
holds.
The principal reason for cooking
cur food is to destroy disease germs
For many ages no one knew what
caused illness, but now nearly all
maladies are traceable to these tiny
germs, many of which are found IN
food, and can be destroyed only by
the heat of cook ng.
Man, owing to the very com
plicated machinery of his body. falls
a prey to di1ease more easily than
the animals. Con equently food which
an animal can take without harm
may kill a man. Cooking destroys
large proportion of the parasites, mi
robes and bacteria in food, thus Civ
ing man a chance to digest diet that
otherwise would kill him.
Frequently one forgets that cook
'ng is primarily not intended TO make
food more pleasant to the taste. but
to make it easier to digest. But
when a dish is toothsome 1t makes
he mouth water, nr, n other words,
r. causes a great deal OF saliva to
". with the result that the saliva
and food 90 down into the stomach
together, and the food Is more easily
made available Tor digestion
If. however, the cook Is anxious to
tickle the taste of the man who Ia to
eat her food and thinks more OF
satisfying the palate of an epicure
than of the digestibility of the meal,
she is only storing up trouble for tn
eater.
In order to achieve the best results
in the destruction of bacteria and
in the increasing of digestibility'
meat and other foods should be sub
jected first to intense heat. so as to
form a retaining skin. as is done In
roasting or broiling. Then the heat
should be reduced and kept on for a
long term. during which the juices
gradually soften the muscular flbers.
This acts as a deathblow to the
millions of bacteria which would 9TH
erwise have found place in the ston.
ach of the man or the woman who
was to eat 1t.
From this point Of view, therefore,
the cook is one Of the most tmpor'
tant factors in the upward progress
of the race from brute to man. Cooks
have been as much a penefactor to
the race as a whole as they have been
a boon to the hungry. 1t Is the cook
who has borne the banner of prog.
ress through all the ages.
