GAZE IN SELECTING MUIiUN
Healthful Meat May Be Good or Bad,
According to conditlon-Much
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-
ercfsed 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 a
stay in cold storage. 1t 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
will hesitate about buying lamb mere
ly because it is in market, as it is gen.
orally expensive.
The meat of spring lamb should be
clear pink, with plenty of pure white
fat.

VINEGAR KILLS THE GERMS
Best of Reasons Why the condiment
Should Always Be Used Liber-
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, it 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 a
quart and ten grams are equivalent to
about third of an ounce. So, if 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.

HERBERT GEORGE, OWNER OF

BIG LAW SUIT.

big law suit in which Herbert

newspapers of the West some years
ago, and ]. c. Shaffer, proprietor of
the Rocky Mountain News, was
brought to a close recently in favor
of Mr.. George to the amount of $12,-

of the non-payment of rent on the

with success for Mr.. George. Being
quite an acquaintance of Mr.. George

him as a man who has always given
a square deal to the people and we
are sorry that his claim could not be
adjusted ere it took this shape. We
are therefore very glad that he was
victorious in this issue and hope
there is no future trouble in store.
