By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

THAT isn't cricket" says the
Englishman. ct isn't DONE" says
our own society leader. "Das thut
nam NIGHT" says the German. Every
nation, every walk of life has its own
idiomatic expression for the fact that
there are things it isn't fair to do.
To most of US there comes at some
stage of the game of life a chance
to get ahead-but get ahead not quite
honorably.
The principle involved may be so
slight a deviation from the right and
honorable thing no one else will ever
be able to accuse US of dishonesty.
But we shall know. Down in our
hearts we will have the unpleasant
consciousness that we didn't play the
game honorably and ION the level"
To the fine-hbered man or woman,
victory without honor means defeat.
It's all very we'll for cynical world
to point to successful men who
achieve fame and fortune without
paying too much attention to the ethi-
cal value of things.
None of us knows exactly how I'm
happy man is when he has to face
his own inner conviction of dishon-
esty. But even without going as far
as dishonesty there is another thing
to face-the consciousness of not be-
ing good sport"
There are all sorts of situations in
the summer in which people find
themselves tempted to play the game,

Hints for
Housewives

Busters and floor mops should be
washed often. 49,
All fruits selected for canning
should be strictly fresh.
Vegetables are best bought fresh as
they are wanted.
Every cellar should be whitewashed
at least once a year.
Paper should not be used in larder
it is too absorbent.
Canteloupes are for more inviting
served with ice in them.
A wooden plate scraper is very use
full when washing dishes.
when in doubt take BATH" is a
good rule for hot weather.
Lime juice In the lemonade is a
pleasant change on hot day.
Sweet potatoes can be made into
soup exactly as white ones are.
Almost any cold vegetable can be
utilized to make q delicious salad.
An apple put in the tin box with
the cake will keep the cake moist.
Japanese toweling makes pretty
cushions for window seats and chairs.
Iced tea Is a great resource in hot
weather, but it should not be made too
strong.
To wipe the book shelves with oil
of cedar is said to keep the books
from moulding.
When the scalp 10 covered with
dandruff, be sure to disinfect the
brush after using.
On ironing day, keep an old folded
sheet handy, to lay under garments
with buttons etc. ..
A white background is always best
where there is much mahogany furni-
ture.
A cement made of white lead and
boiled linseed oil will stop leak in
gas pipe permanently.
The water in which chicken, fresh
tongue or mutton has been boiled, car
be put into the stock pot.
Graniteware can be kept in good
condition il it is boiled in soda watei
for five or ten minutes twice a week
Currants are not usually liked in
their raw state, but try mixing a few
with raspberries or other fresh fruit
Never try to eat too little in hot
weather-it is simply weakening and
depressing. But food should be well
chosen. ....
A big, new tin oil can with the tin
top cut off and replaced by wooden
cover makes an excellent camp re-
frigerator if sunk nearly to the top
in the ground.
Keep little clump of mint and a
few roots of horse radish growing in
some damp spot, then you will always
have material for mint sauce and
horseradish seasoning.
Spray the rose bushes with soap
suds once a week. This will keep
them free from insects. After spray
ing the soap suds on, 60 back In about
an hour and spray with clean water.
Wash the floor mop in the follow
ing way: Put the mop in pan OF
hot water in which has been put two
tablespoonfuls of lye. Let the mop
remain in the water, where 1t will
keep hot for three or four hours, then
rinse II in two or three clean waters
and put it in the sun to dry.

Ployimg the Come

merely to win. A desire for victory
Is not sporting" Neither victory
nor defeat must mean too much to
the real sportsman. The point is
playing the game.
There lies the instinct Of a real
sportsman. He plays the game. He
doesn't resort to articles, to little
tricks, to schemes to achieve the
victory at any cost. He plays with
respect for his own manhood and
courteous Difference for his oppo-
nent.
The rules of any sport are based
on courtesy and consideration for
ones opponent. You don't win a
swimming race by dealing your op-
ponent a kick under water and so
putting him out of the running You
don't win any race that way. Neither
sports nor life are played out on a
basis of trickery or dishonor by any
one who is decent and fine.
Besides all that, cheater misses
most of the fun-the joy Of honest
striving-the glow of victory gained
fairly and squarely.
The game must be played accord
ing to rule-but still more superbly
than that by anyone who wants real
pleasure from playing it. It is almost
better to give your opponent vic
tory than to snatch it from him by
contemplate little underhand trick.
Play your games fairly and square
ly this summer. See how much more
fun you get out of them that way
And then try playing your whole
game of life that way.

In susceptible animals these germs in

the bacillus of whooping cough, the
bacillus of cholera, the bacillus OF
meningitis, the bacillus of leprosy, the
bacillus of influenza. the bacillus of
pneumonia, the supposed bacillus of
typhus and, most interesting in some
ways of all, the original strain Of the
bacillus Of tuberculosis, discovered by
DR.. Koch.
Besides these there are some 700
other kinds OF bacteria, many of
which produce plant diseases. But the
bubonic plague bacillus has been shut
out, because of accidents that have
occurred with it elsewhere.
1t is notion very hard to dissipate
that all bacteria are breeders of dis
ease. The fact is that very many are
not only perfectly harmless, but ex-
ceedingly useful in the world. Many
useful kinds can be seen in the mu-
seumf among them being the Bulga-
rian buttermilk bacillus and the bacilli
that mix nitrogen in the soil and aid
the growth of plants.
The fecundity of bacilli is amazing.
Some kinds will, by division and
growth, produce countless millions
from a single germ, in few days, a
few hours, or sometimes in twenty
minutes! 1t is by their numbers that

Since man has discovered some o.
his most dangerous enemies as well
as some Of his most useful friends in
the world of bacterial life, new kind
Of menagerie has been devised-a
germ garden" bacterial laboratory
or museum of living microbes.
To call such an institution me-
nagerie is a concession to popular
usage, since these microscopic organ
isms are not animals, as many per-
sons suppose, but plants, or at least
they much. more nearly resemble
plants than animals, and bacteriology
is regarded as branch of botanical
science.
The germ garden In the American
Museum of Natural History is, per-
haps. the most important now in the
world. Vienna, as DR.. c. E. A. Win
slow tells US, once had the most valu-
able existing collection of this kind
under the care OF DR.. Kral, but today
it is not as complete as it was few
years ago, while the American insti-
tuition has been forging to the front.
1t is a little startling at first to be
told that In the great museum building
on the western border of Central
park there are kept alive and lively
multitudes of bacteria capable, Il they
could reach their victims, of spreading
death broadcast among human beings.
But there is not the slightest cause
for fear, because all these germs are
inclosed in rows of test tubes and
within the concrete walls of a closet,
from which there is no possibility of
escape, and it is perfectly safe for
any curious person to go and look
at them, under the vigilant supervi-
sion OF scientific guardians.
There may be seen, if you use
powerful microscope, the terrible ty-
phoid bacillus, so small that DR.. Win
slow says 400,000,Q00 would be re-
quired to equal size of single grain
Of graduated sugar. There are also an

they conquer, and by their incredible
swiftness of multiplication. Think of
fighting an army which from one sur
vivor can, in half an hour, reproduce
millions! 1t recalls the legend of the
dragon which grew seven new heads
for every one that was cut off. 1t is
no wonder that some people, when
they were informed OF the nature and
multitudinousness of the enemy that
caused their sickness, were more
alarmed than before.
The purpose of the collection at the
Natural History museum is to furnish
opportunities for students Of biology
and medicine to study the living
germs, since dead ones have no i'm
portance. There doctors may see the
enemies that they are to combat, and
become acquainted with their appear
ance and their manner of action. Most
of the germs are grown in tubes OF
jelly formed from meat, peptone,
agar, etc.
Some of the bacteria are very ex-
acting boarders, and require carefully
prepared food; some made from eggs,
some from blood, some from milk and
some from special salts. Some can
not live without air, while others de-
mand an atmosphere from which oxy-
gen has been removed 1t takes an
expert scientist to be caterer to mi
crobe.
Cultures are sent from the museum
to every university and every health
department of any importance in the
United States and Canada, and re-
Gently demand has arisen for Amer
ican-bred bacteria in Europe. All
things considered, it is probable that
this meteorological garden renders
more useful service to mankind than
all the botanical gardens combined,
Yet great forest Of bacteria, con-
tanning perhaps more individuals than
there are trees in the whole United
States, makes only a speck against a
window pane.
