But no law can protect the food after it is
delivered at the kitchen door. In cases where
the mistress of the house takes seriously the
business of housekeeping she makes point OF
giving personal attention to the manner in
which meats. dry groceries, fruits and vege-
tables and especially milk, butter and eggs
are kept in her pantry, cellar and refrigerator
She knows that quite as many cases OF i'll
ness result from ignorance of the elementary
principles Of sanitation in the home as arise
from wrong conditions in the factory, shop or
market and she sees to it that in her own
house the health laws are not broken.

cent bacteria must be kept under a good,
strong check or they will multiply and do as
much harm as the villains of their tribe.
Seeing that these bacteria are carried on
particles of dust. in liquids and on the surface

Importance of keeping clean not only the

the dampest places The lime should be re-
rewed as soon as 1t is slaked.
In this way the cellar may be kept from
the dust and dampneSs that favor the growth
of harmful bacteria, and not only will the
food keep better, but the whole house will be
in a much better condition regards santa
ton than it could possibly be with a damp
and dirty cellar.
HOW THE PANTRY SHOULD BE KEPT.
The same rule applies to the pantry. 1t is
not exposed to dampness, like the cellar. but
it is exposed to dust. Also unless the shelves
are kept clean, occasional crumbs. drops or
smears of food will furnish fruitful breed
ing ground for the busy little organisms that
are always on the lookout for food and COM

only demonstrate the abiding usefulness OF
the machine but in all but extreme cases Of
stupidity or obstnacy, will overcome the in
ertia Of the maid.
ELECTRIC VACUUM CLEANERS.
Don't forget to oil the machine at least
once a month. If used often, once in two
weeks is better The manufacturers directions
will tell you just where and how to oil. The
important thing is to remember to do it.
Also do not let the dustbag get even half full
before emptyng. The less dust there is in
the Rag the stronger the suction in the clean
er and the better work it will do.
ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINES.
Get thoroughly acquainted with the ma
chine before putting it to work. Study the d-
rections and apply them until you know ex
actly what each part is for and how to work
the washer. 1t is no more difficult than any
other washing machine. The chief danger lies
in the wringing. Spread the clothes evenly
when putting them through the wringer.
If they are punched, the rolls will refuse to
work properly and the motor will stall In
some washers this means serious injury to
the motor or the gearing. After every wash
ing. see that the tub is washed out and wiped
dry to prevent corroding.
ELECTRIC IRONS.
Do not keep the current on all the time
VIXEN using an electric iron. With good iron,
the current can be off half the time. If kept
on constantly the iron is likely to become
overhested so thst.it will scorch the clothes
and burn out the heating element or fuse.
Disconnect the iron from the cord before
turning of the socket switch, or the fuse may
blow out.

When washing electric stoves, coasters, COT
pots chahng dishes, etc. wipe them with
e damp cloth instead OF putting them into

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-05-07

A dirty refrigerator, filed with odds and
ends of stale food, absolutely fosters the
growth Of bacteria. If the family escapes i'll
ness of one kind or another it is because its
members have tin-lined interiors or are the
special care OF that Providence which watches
over children and fools.
If care is taken every day to brush out
crumbs, wipe up spots of grease or dampness
and put away food only on clean dishes, once
a week is sufficient for thorough cleaning
But that cleaning must be invariable, and no
part of it shirked.
1t is not such formidable task.
First be sure that there is an ample supply
Of boiling water-merely hot water is rather
healthy than otherwise for germs-a box OF
borax or washing soda, scrubbing brushes and
clean dry cloths.
Empty the water pan and replace it TO catch
the water used in cleaning. Take out the ice
and wrap it in flannel or in a newspaper to
prevent waste. Then take out all the food,
being careful to cover it from dust.
Next. take out the shelves and racks. These
must be scrubbed with brush in hot soda or
borax water, rinsed with clean boiling water
wiped dry and set out in the sunshine, if pos
sible.
WATCH CRACKS AND ANGLES.
Both food chamber and ice compartment
should also be scrubbed as we'll as the inside
Of the door and lid, all lodges. edges. etc.
where the unobtrusive little germ can find an
abiding place A skewer under cloth will
get into every crack and angle. Rinse with
clean boiling water and wipe dry.
Then leave the refrigerator open to dry and
air while you take out the waste pipe and scrub
it thoroughly inside and out, finishing of with
boiling water poured through. If the waste
pipe is fixed scour it with strong borax or
soda water, using long handled brush or
swab that comes for this purpose, and rinse
with the boiling water poured through.
Lastly scrub the water pan, scald and re-
place.
Cleanliness, thorough and persistent, is the
price we pay for the preservation Of food As
well as health. II the food is sound and clean
when it is delivered, and if the home storage
places are kept according to these simple rules
of sanitation. there will be no trouble about
its keeping as long as such foods normally
remain pure and sweet.

or glass jars which are used for cereals, dried
fruits and nearly every kind Of supply that IS
ordinarily kept in the pantry. The bread box
should be scalded and summed every time a
new supply of bread is put into it, for damp
crumbs accumulate mould so quickly that it is
not safe to let them collect, even for day
or two.
HOW TO KEEP THE ICE-BOX SAFE.
But it is the refrigerator that needs the
greatest care Of ALL for here the most delicate
and perishable foods are stored

Nominating Cardinals.

The ceremony of nominating cardi-
mails, which takes place at Rome, is
not without its picturesque side. The
COnsistOry of the sacred college meets
in secret-thOugh particulars of the
proceedings are afterwards given to
the press-and, following upon brief
address, the pope names the persons
he wishes to elevate to the purple.
His nomination is final, but in accord
ance with the old custom when the
cardinals voted for the election of
their comrades, he asks, "What is your
desire?" The cardinals then silently
lay down their red silk caps, rise, and
bow. 1t is the formal assent and the
new cardinals are declared elected.
England has cardinals other than
those created by the pope. At one
time there were officials of that title
attached to a number of her cathe-
drals, whose duty it was to visit the
sick and relieve the needy, but st.
Pauls is now alone in the possession
Of a senior and a junior cardinal,
elected by the deans from among the
minor CanOns. One of the holders of
the title In recent times was the au-
thor Of the "Jackdaw of Rheims"

WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH
And Each Little Jewish Girl Was Re-
warded With Feast Cake for
Her Effort.

In the East side Of New York as
in the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter of Paris or Judengasse of Ber-
lin, thousands Of Jewish mothers and
grandmothers gathered the little
daughters of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered, "do you know what Ruth said
to NaOmi2"
"Yes," each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Enreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee For whittier thou
goest, will go; and where thou lodg-
est, will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my God"
And, beaming her pride, each moth
er then said:
Good! Here is a cake for you"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered in. The broom was just as
much a part of the ceremony as the
reward Of a cake. With it one could
sweep out the spirits and demons, the
scheidim and masikim, which ghetto
traditions of the medieval ages insist
are present during Omer, the time be-
tween Passover and ShabuoUh.-New

and those that come in the spring and
disappear entirely In the winter.
Both are materially checked when
preventive and corrective measures are
taken before the action of the sun or
the skin has full sway.
Simply pOwdering the skin is not
sufficient when going outdoors. 1t Is
necessary that the exposed parts be
thoroughly massaged with a good cold
cream, then busted with rice powder,
which serves as a mask and does not
allow the suns rays to penetrate as
freely.
A greaseless cream or a tonic as

the cream, which should contain one
or more bleaching agents to act on
general principles.
