FRITTERS.

Two parts of liquid to two OF -four
should be allowed for fritters. That Is
proportion that does not vary. no
matter how many other ingredients are
added, unless one Of them be thick, like
cereal.
Salt or Ieaven-baking powder or
soda or eggs-are also needed. And
any flavoring agents that one fancies
may be added.
The essential about cooking fritters
is deep fat of the proper heat. Test 1t
with a cube of bread. 1t should brown
in 40 seconds for a cooked mixture and
In 60 for an uncooked mixture.
Apple fritters may be made in sew
eral ways. One way Is to cut small
sections of cored and peeled apple, to
dip them into fritter batter, to cook
them for q minute, to drain them and
then roll them in sugar and cinnamon.

SEPTIC SORE THROAT.

What is septic sore throat? If it il
so important why is It that nobody
heard of it until recently? These are
hard questions to answer. Septic sore
throat starts with high fever, head
ache and general aching. The throat
is sore. When the throat is examined
1t is found to be swollen and rather
evenly red. The throat looks very much
like scarlet fever sore throat, and
when the sick person is a child who
has never had scarlet fever that dis
ease is suspected. But the scarlet fever
rash does not appear. A little later
white patches like those Of follicular
tonsilitis appear. BY this time the
glands Of the neck have begun to swell
and the patient complains OF profound
weakness.
These are very good signs Of dlph-
iberia and you suspect that your child
has that disease. But by this time you
have one or several reports from the
laboratory to the effect that there Is
no diphtherba. The laboratory reports
show streptocci. Already scarlet fever
has been ruled out and now diphtheria
Is discarded.
But the patient is evidently sick with
some grave disease. The weakness Is
all out Of proportion to what you would
expect from an ordinary sore throat.
Probably by this time you have discov-
cred that the glands OF the neck are
forming assesses. You begin to sus-
pect septic sore throat. About this time
you begin to hear Of other cases of sore
throat. Your milk man tells you that
several people on his milk route are
sick. When you ask him what is the
trouble he does not know for certain
He has heard that they have sore
throat. Some have had their threats
lanced, but nobody seems certain what
the disease is.
That the disease is epidemic Is about
the best diagnostic point that has been
brought out. There is no way oil
diagnosing a single case of septic sore
throat with certainty. Suppuration OF
the glands is suggestive, but there are
other diseases which cause the glands
10 suppurate. The same can be said
IF profound prostratisn. But when sore

diagnosis.
BY this time the health department

PASSING OF THE DISH TOWEL.


Copyright. 1915, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate0
1t is really passing strange that the
dish towel has not gone long before
gone with the open milk container,
unwrapped bread, and other germ and
dust carriers. But the recent state
ment made by a scientific expert show
ing that the ordinary dish towel as 1t
Is found in the homes of even the
most fastidious housewives, Is brim
full OF germs before its days work is
done, lis Just about the last charge
made against the dish towel as a
kitchen institution.
These scientists tell us something
that, shorn Of Its technical wording,
sounds like this: The air, especially in
warm places, is teeming with germs
and bacteria OF various sorts at all
| times. And these little trouble breed
ers are bent on one thing-namely, to
find a home. The dish towel by the
time you have dried one set Of dishes
with 1t, and have hung 1t up near the
kitchen stove to dry, is just about the
coolest little nesting place a homeless
germ could find. 1t Is damp and warm
and full Of minute particles OF food
substance. The butcher boy and the

much less tho domestic whom you en-
ploy, washes all tea towels between
each meal. 1t would mean an impossi-
bic expense of time and energy. And
no ordinary washing Is sufficient to
dislodge the germs In the towels. Moth
ing short of thorough scalding will
really sterlize them. Usually, how
ever, the towels that have been hang
| ing up since breakfast are used to dry
| the luncheon dishes and then it is that
countless little germs have an oppor-
tunity to take a new lease, this time on
the plate or cup and saucer or knife
or fork that is to used for tomorrow
meal.
The very silly part about the use OF
dish towels is that it is not at all es-
sential, say household authorities. A
simpler, cleaner way can easily be es-
tablished in any household regime. AL
that is necessary is some sort of pro-
tected drying rack, for to permit dishes
to dry in the open would almost be as
/ bad as to dry them with towels sc
dried. However, scalded dishes dry
amazingly quickly. In the case Of glass
dishes the method of rack drying does
! not always accomplish all it should by
way of bringing out the luster of the
glass, but for the glassware paper
towels or clean tissue paper can be
| used after the glasses have dried first

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.

sometimes with scaldipg sensation

difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
tion. While 1t Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one OF the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will ueu-
tralize the acids In the urine so It no

bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless,
