Eating Raw Pork Often
Results In Trichinosis

Eat no pork or pork products unless
they are cooked if you would be GER
tain of avoiding trichinosis. This is a
warning issued by the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
To avoid trichinOsis no form of pork
In the raw state, including dried or
smoked sausages and hams, should be
eaten. All pork used as food should be
cooked thoroughly, as trichinae, the
minute organisms which cause this
deadly disease, die and therefore be-
come harmless when subjected to
temperature of 40 degrees f. or high
er. The fact that these organisms
may remain alive and active in I'M
cooked pork makes the latter, say de-
partment meat specialists, menace to
life and health wherever it is eaten.
Every one should remember this SIM
pie rule of food hygiene: Cook pork
well. A practical rule is to cook pork
until it has lost it's red color through
out all portions or, if trace of this
color is still present, at least until the
fluids of the meat have become more or
less jellied.

Open Your Heart Today.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up I'M
til your friends are dead, but fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approving
and cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them.
The kind things you will say after
they are gone, say before they go. The
flowers you mean to send for their cof-
fins, bestOw now, and so brighten and
sweeten their homes before they leave
them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full Of fragrant perfumes
of sympathy and affection, which they
intend to break over my dead body, l
would rather they would bring them
now in my weary and troubled hours
and open them, that may be refreshed
and cheered, while / need them and
can enjoy them.
/ would rather have a plain coffin
without flower and funeral without
a eulogy than life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to anoint our friends beforehand
for their burial.
POstmOrtem kindness cannot cheer
the burdened spirit. Flowers on the
coffin shed no fragrance backward over
the weary way by which the loved
ones have traveled-Selected.

Worth Knowing

The water with which pie crust is
mixed should be iced.
Gelatin should always he first soaked
in cold water.
70 prepare Il tub of bluing water
have the water cool and stir While you
add the bluing.
All cottons and linens in the weekly
wash should be thoroughly soaped be-
fore rubbing.
If the baby is inclined to be nervous
do not battle it in the tub. but give it a
sponge bath on your lap.
When washing flannels be sure that
the soap is thoroughly dissolved or it
when dry.
A small lump of butter in cake icing
tends to keep it soft so that it will not
crack off the cake in cutting. If the
frosting is hard dip the sharp knife
with which you are cutting into warm
water as you cut each slice.
In freezing weather if the clothesline
and clothespins have been soaked in
salt water the clothes will not stick to
the line or the pins to the clothes,
thereby saving tearing the clothes
when removing them from the line
If you have marble topped table
that is an heirloom and it is stained in
any way try rubbing it well with a cut
lemon, then with salt. This will cure
great many of the blemishes on mar
BILE and leave a gloss.

Signs of tuberculosis

Persons dying of tuberculosis this
winter received their infection ten or
possibly twenty years previous" says
Dr.. 1. ]. Murphy of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health association.
The insidious nature of the disease
and the fact that it often lies dormant
from childhood make It particularly
urgent that people be on the watch for
the early symptoms Of this disease.
adds the doctor. The following symp-
toms should be observed by everybody
and regarded with suspicion: A sue
cession of colds without the ability to
overcome them; persistent loss of
weight without any easily explained
cause; a general feeling Of tiredness.
not caused by abnormal or unusual ex-
ertion; fever late in the afternoon;
splitting of blood; persistent cough ex-
tending over a period of one month.
especially if not preceded by a cold in
head or sore throat; night sweats; di-
gestive disturbances, especially when
accompanied by any of the foregoing

Value of Punctuality

Business and industry in this coun-
try have been reduced to system that
compeIs the admiration of the world
yet it is doubtful if the great masses
of the people have learned in practi-
cal way the value that should be placed
on punctuality.
True, employers insist that their en-
ployees be ON time at their work, but
many of these same employers will fail
by half an hour to keep an appoint
ment and undertake to offer excuses
for their failure. A note at the bank
compels promptness because of the
consequences that may follow neglect
to give it attention, but the loss to
others by lack of punctuality may be
of a serious character.
The failure of so many people in be-
ing prompt in all their relations to
others probably lies in the fact that
they magnify the lack of punctuality
in others and minimize it in them
selvsss thereby making way for q lax
ness that becomes q harmful habit to
all whom it affects.-Pittsburgh Dis

Table Etiquette.

The fingers are used in eating bread,
rolls, mullins, biscuits, celery, radishes,
olives, nuts, bonbons, dry cakes and
sandwiches. Corn on the cob should
be broken in half, seasoned and held
in the left hand when eating. Hard
cheese may be taken in the thumb and
finger, though a fork is preferable.
Fruit that is not juicy, such as ap-
pies, should be peeled and pared by
means of a silver knife, and then eaten
with the fingers. 1t is better to eat
peaches, bananas and other juicy fruits
with fork. In eating with the fin
gers, use only the thumb and first fin
ger. Some too fastidious folks use the
thumb and middle finger, curling back
the others. This is not considered in
good form.

Honely Wrinkles

When spoons are egg stained they
may be easily cleaned by rubbing with
salt.
When knitting drop your ball into a
cup or jar and it will not roll out of
reach.
When the stove becomes heavily coat
ed with backing, sandpaper it off be-
fore applying fresh polish.
Wash lamp chimneys in warm suds,
then polish them easily and quickly
with soft, crumpled newspaper
Almond meal is good substitute for
soap and will tend to whiten the skin.
Do not clean the baby's tender finger
nails with scissors; use the corner of
piece of writing paper folded into
square.

Sunshine.

SunShIne.
The world is full of sunshine
When the hearts inclined that way.
There's never any shadow
If you whistle through the day.
The master Of the sunshine uses some to
paint the hills,
But always leaves a little as pouftice
for our ills.
The way is full of brightness
II the soul is bright in turn
With the hope that leads the promise
TO the lessons 1t must learn.
The master Of the sunshine uses some to
make the rose,
But always leaves us plenty as q plastic
for our woes.
The careless flowers are happy.
And we should be happy, too.
II we help to scatter sunshine
Al we know we ought to do.
The master of the sunshine uses some TO
deck the day,
But always leaves US plenty to keep wor-
riment away.

Tell me the name of one man who
has really made good without hard
ships, struggles and suffering. Any
time you make up your mind that
there is no use in further trying and
that you will wait for some opportu-
nifty to come along, call out the re-
serves and have the whole force club
you into action. If you have any idea
that you can make a success sitting
down, while men of mental energy and

Drink Water For Health.

Drinking an abundance of water or
consuming large quantities of watery
fruits and vegetables helps to keep the
body in good condition, partly because
the water dissolves and carries away
waste and poisonous products, says the
home economics extension service of
a state college Of agriculture.
Colds, especially in their first stages,
fevers, constipation and many other
illnesses are checked to some extent
by drinking large quantities of water
at moderate temperatures. Except in
the case of heart trouble or contracted
kidney, there is little danger of Excess
sive drinking of water at reasonable
temperatures.

region of Southern Spain known as
the Serrania de ROnda, begun in 1915,

results have been published by the Geo

stated that the area of the platinifer
Gus zone is undoubtedly very large,
there being u or IA wide rivers with
extensive beds of platiniferOus mate
rial. These could be dredged for plat
mum gravel for many years, if it is
proved that the average platinum con-

zones were found. The Spanish gov
