housewife in regard to canned prod
ucts. Once these have been opened
end exposed to the air they spoil
as quickly-if not more quickly-than
fresh food The contents of a can
should therefore be disposed of quick
ly. In no event should they be left in
the can after it has been opened, but
should be used at once, unless the
housekeeper wishes to "air" the can
ned material which some believe is
desirable. If this is done, the cans
contents should be transferred to a
clean earthen or glass dish and put
away for an hour or two in cool
place where dust will not reach it.

food-creamed chicken, or custard or
warm vegetables, for example-are ex-
cellent culture mediums for bacteria
which may have been introduced into
them by accident. For this reason it
is a safe rule to have as short a time
as possible intervene between the prep
aration of food and its consumption
Broth is another excellent medium
and in consequence should be drained
off if it is intended to keep the meat
for any length of time before serving
If the broth is used also it should be
boiled thoroughly first. All food, cook
ed or uncooked, should be kept in a
clean, cool place in order to reduce
the danger of infection to a mini
mum.
When meat must for any reason be
kept for unusually long periods of
time, or when the conditions are I'M
usually unfavorable, scalding may be
resorted to advantageously. Dropping
the meat into boiling water for a few
minutes will not seriously affect it's
flavor when it ultimately appears upon
the table, and it will put it in much
better condition for keeping. 1t is I'M
portant, however, that it be dipped in
a large body of boiling water. If only
small amount of water is used, the

the temperature to such an extent that

which are always-or ought to be

be carried further and the joints par

ever to see that the re-cooking is

tional precautions on the part of the

purpose. On farms where there is an
ice house, the meat may be placed in
some form of closed retainer and bu-
ried in the ice. In any event, the
meat must be carefully screened from
flies. The danger from infection from
these pests has been pointed out many
times, but familiarity breeds contempt
and they still persist. The fly not
only does the meat itself no good, but
it may readily deposit upon it some
infection, which is carried in turn by
the meat into the human system. Some
flies will deposit their eggs on the meat
and these In a short time will become
maggots and the meat is Fly blown"
Much sickness that is popularity
ascribed to ptomaine poisoning or to
bad food in general is really caused in
some such way as this, the food, in
itself perfectly wholesome, acting
merely as mechanical carrier for the
germs" which cause the trouble. Some
of these sorts come from the human
intestine and their presence is sure
indication that filth is present, even
if the amount is too small to be seen.
Filth of this kind may be carried by
dust, but more often it comes from
soiled hands. One might wish tina.

Germs which grow in foods and
cause illness, grow very rapidly, par.

PANAMA INDIANS
START REVOLT
(By Associated Press)

PANAMA, June 21.-In order that
the rebellious Indians of the San Bias
coast shall be made to recognize the
authority of the Panama Government
President Porras proposes to prevent
any of the outlaw districts from trad
ing with outsiders. He has issued
decree which practically makes it
felony for anyone to trade with certain
Indian villages. A heavy fine is impos-
ed for the first offense while fine and
jail sentence is imposed for the second.
President Porras recently visited
the San Bias coast for the purpose of
inauguerating his scheme of govern
ment monopoly in the trade of that
section of Panama and to insure the
collection of import and export duties.
Most of the Indian chiefs have recog-
nized the overlordship of the president
of Panama, but there are a number of
them who persistently refuse to parley
with the Great White Chief and declare
their intention of having nothing to do
with the government of Panama. These
chiefs and their villages are to be is
olated if the Presidents plan works.
In a number of villages the presi-
dent found the Colombian flag still
flying, the Indians declaring they have
never even heard of the establishment
of Republic of Panama. These were
pulled down promptly and the Panama
flag substituted

GUARDING MEAT
FROM THE HEAT
A FEW SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE WHO DOES NOT
WANT HER SUPPLIES TO SPOIL.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., June Il
"A few simple precautions will aid
the housewife in keeping meat I'M
tainted in hot weather. It is of course,
common knowledge that the higher the
temperature, the quicked meat will
spoil, but the family's supplies are
not absolutely at the mercy of the
thermometer. Ice and cleanliness are
two great weapons of defense.
For many families refrigerator is
obviously out of the question, but it is
perhaps better to have no refrigerator
at all than a neglected one. Merely
to wash it out occasionally does little
good it should be thoroughly scalded
at frequent intervals, in particular
the drain. This, if overlooked, is apt
to harbor fungus growths which may

agriculture, because he had found
that a joint of beef placed in his re-
frigerator had turned peculiar bright
red. Upon examination it was ascer-
tanned the meat was covered with |
a peculiar fungous growth, due en-
tirely to the condition of the refrigera-
tor. Growths of this kind co not al
ways advertise themselves so promi |
nently and there may be much evil in
an ice box that the eye can not de-
tect
If the refrigerator drain is not thor
oughly cleaned, moreover, it is likely |
to become choked, the water is not |
carried off quickly enough and little |
pools are left standing in the interior |
Dampness is one of the conditions
most favorable to bacterial growth
An ice box in this state will not pro- |
tect food long 1t is, in fact a wise
precaution to wipe the interior OF a |
refrigerator every day with dry
cloth.
The temperature of the average re-
frigerator is higher than most per-
sons suppose and in those households
where regular supply of ice is not |
obtainable, a cool cellar, a spring
house or the depths of a well may be
made to serve somewhat the same

OKLAHOMA COW DIED,
BUT LAWYERS KEEP
HER MEMORY GREEN
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LAWTON, Ok, June 21.-Motion for
a new trial was argued by counsel be-
fore Judge Ray in the County Court in
the case of w. T. Wynn VS.. John Barn
hart, replevin action over a COW,
calf and yearling which has been
characterized by one trial in the JUS
tice courts, and three in the County
Court An still at it.
The value of the COW, which is the
cause of all the litigation, primarily
has been fixed at $40, and court costs
in the case have already mounted up
to between $500 and $500.
Suit in the case was filed in Febur-
airy, 1909. In the justice court a YER
dict was rendered for the plaintiff and
the case was appealed to the County
Court Here the first two trials re-
suited in hung juries, but in the third
trial of the case a verdict was rendered
in favor of the defendant. Over six
and half years after the action was
