II is against the action of bacteria,
yeasts and molds that we need to pre-
serve food.
Food may be preserved by drying,
smoking. sailing; by boiling and seal
ing from the air, as in canning; by
preserving by means of sugar; by cold
storage; and by ordinary cooking.
Cooking is the most familiar method
Of preserving food in the home. Cooked
food keeps longer than uncooked food
because much of the bacterial action is
arrested by the heat.
Every homemaker has had some ex
perience with, canning and preserving.
Lack Of success is usually due to care
lessness in the sterilization Of the jars
or Of the fruit or vegetable used.
The ice chest is the common means
Of cold storage in the home. Excellent
housekeepers often fail to keep the ice
chest as clean and sweet as it should
be kept. Once a week everything should
be removed from the, ice chest. Then
the shelves and walls Of the food and
ice chambers should be thoroughly
washed with hot soap and water and
sal soda, rinsing with clean hot wa
ter and drying. The drain pipe should
not be neglected. Everything put into
the ice-chest should be clean. The milk
bottles should be washed and papers
removed from the bundles delivered
from the store. If dirt is put into
clean ice chest it will contaminate the
food.
Every part of the kitchen should be
kept clean. Flies should never be seen
in the kitchen. In waging a war for
cleanliness, the housewife is Waging

managing board must use it's own
judgment in initiating rates, and ex-
pect approval or disapproval by this
commission only on public hearing.
We may, however. offer some sug-
gestions. If we understand No. We
should say that depreciation might
properly be figured on the value of an
article new and in prime condition.
We think either of the basic figures
mentioned in the question might be
misleading, because neither Of them
might reflect the actual value of a new
and efficient article.
| You will understand that his state
ment is general. Its application to the
case of the Bangor Water Works must
depend upon local conditions. For in
stance, if you wish to get a present
deprecated value from your Fixed
Capital Account, as carried in your
balance sheet, you will necessarily de-
termine how much should be deducted
therefrom for the several items and
classes of items constituting it. You
cannot apply an established rule of
depreciation to a first-cost to- the.
utility, or to a book value, unless it

cannot apply it to deprecated
value" which may mean any stage of
depreciation.
| We think that we should take into
account all elements which tended to
make the article worth less than Il
| standard article in prime condition.
The method Of determining the final
rate of depreciation might depend so
much upon local conditions that we do
not care to give general answer to
this part of the query. We should ex-
pect that average rates might be ap-
piled to the property with approximate
accuracy, but we should also expect
our engineers to verify them by in
spection in some detail.

to question No 10 except on ar hearing.
I II. Shall charge be made for

shall 1t be based, number Of sprinkler
heads, area protected or size of main ?
4 Answer
Yes. This rs valuable service and
should be paid for by the beneficiary
Of it. The number Of sprinkler heads
is a popular method Of fixing the
charge. This must depend upon local
conditions, size Of mains. etc, and the
local board must initiate the rate and

Much Of the home-maker's time Is
spent in trying to keep clean. For gen
erations, she has considered that oust
is her natural enemy with which she
must continually wage war.
The contents Of dust may be divided
into two groups; first, visible, morgan
ic or lifeless dust, which IS mostly
mineral matter; and second,-invlsipie'
organic or living dust which contains
bacteria, yeasts and molds. 1t is with
this second group that we are particu-
larly concerned when thinking OF the
care of food.
The conditions which are favorable
for the growth Of these living organ
isms are, food, warmth, moisture, I'M
pure air, dirt. The conditions which
are unfavorable for their growth are,
direct sunlight, light. dryness, coid'
much fresh air, cleanliness.
The most important and most nu-
merous of the three organic kinds OF
dust are the bacteria. They are every
where. They may be divided into two
c;asses-disease-p producing or pathe"
genie bacteria. and those which do not
produce disease or -pathogenic bac-
terra. The latter are more numerous
and, under usual conditions, are harm
less. Some of them are very useful and
the results of their action are famil-
lar in ripened cheese, the flavor of but
ter, in vinegar, etc. Some Of them
bring about the spelling Of our food,
as shown in the souring Of milk, the
decomposition in putrid meat and rot
ten eggs.
Every housewife is familiar with the
use of yeast in the making of bread
and in brewing purposes. The appear
ance of molds is just as familiar.
