whether inspections are made fire.
quently or not.
OF course, the soda fountain may
be extremely clean. Perhaps the
man or woman who run it is a
person with a proper idea of clean
illness as well as a consciousness of
his or her moral responsibility 10
the community. If that is the case
your children are safe. But you
know how those things work out in
your own kitchen. Cooks vary
enormously. While one is as careful
as you yourself others have to be
watched carefully and others are ac-
tually averse TO taking even the most
elementary precautions. You know
how easy il is for your refrigerator
TO get into a shocking condition if
il is not carefully watched. Scrup-
ulOus cleanliness in matters of food
is a cultivated habit The average
man or woman has very little ma
tural instinct toward scrupulOus
cleanliness At best il is but feel
ing Of fastidiousness or even squeam-
ishness that we soon forget when
we are working i'm a hurry or under
pressure.
So, for the good Of your children
and other women's children, make il
your point to know just how condi-
tons really are at the corner soda
fountain. Find out exactly how the
glasses are washed and rinsed. Find
out, TOO. the laws on the subject in
your locality. Find out whether or
not the inspections are regular and
satisfactory. There is nothing that
makes it more easy for the careless
dealer or dispenser than that char
acteristic trustfulness that you and
your neighbor feel in the author
tiles" And the authorities are as
human as you. If no one cares. why
should they?

House is Made
Ouer BY Efforts
OF Two Women

Some six or eight weeks ago two
women known TO a few as members
Of the friendly visiting committee.
set out a task for themselves. Guild
ed by the Associated Charities they
sought a family in need Of friend
ship and aid, and since the first visit
to the home they have assumed full
charge Of the household manage
ment
There were eight in the family.
six children, and the father and
mother. The father had been taken
TO the hospital, leaving the family
almost penniless while two Of the
children were i'll.
There were holes in the plaster
and in the kitchen floor, and alto
gether things in the house had
reached a stage where the mother.
herself in i'll health. had ceased TO
care. The landlord refused TO re-
pair the damage, but had been let
ting the family live on without pay
ing the back rent.
AlloStlHeE the lNb NOHltt I'D =
spent on an average of five days a
week with the family. teaching the
mother and helping the women sent
by the Charities 10 clean. Windows
were washed and the family wash
ing Of some weeks past, done. With
fresh curtains at the windows and
the woodwork cleaned everything
was made spick and span for the
return of the father. Kindly rela-
tives have put on the new paper
secured by the women.
The mother is taking new pride
in her house and children, and all
because of the persistence of two
friends. The father will soon be
able TO return TO work and the
friends will be looking to another
family.

Know THE SODA FOUNTAIN.

hNOW THE SODA FOUNTAIN.
When il comes TO the consideration
of pure food and whOiesomeness of
the things that we and our children
eat we often strain at "A gnat and
swallow a camel We insist on the
utmost hygiene in some respects and
blind our eyes 10 other dangerous
PRACTICES. We insist that our chill
dren always use distilled water and
guaranteed water TO drink yet we
permit them TO wash their teeth and
their mouths in any water that hap
pens to flow from the faucet Why
go 10 all the trouble of the first pre-
caution if we do not take the sec
ond?
Then We go TO such pains to see
that the food at home is prepared
under sanitary conditions, We
make sure that the milk bottles are
always washed i'm the kitchen before
the milk is poured from them We
have all the dishes with the greatest
care and then-then we let little
Willie and little Jenny go TO any
soda water fountain they choose and
been carefully washed but probably
were not, and drink so-called fruit
syrups that may be chemical mix
lures. and may possibly be made OF
real fruits.
Most Of us excuse ourselves for
this negligence in a sort of trustful
confidence we feel in the authorities.
If any one suggests that conditions
may not be as sanitary as you might
wish at the corner soda fountain
where your children go you are
quite likely TO say: why. they are
very particular about those things
now. The pure food laws wouldn't
permit those things. They make
inspections" BY they" YOU probab-
" have a rather vague reference to
health inspectors. You haven't any
definite idea as TO the pure food
