Selection
and Preservation
of Foods

FIFTEEN or twenty years ago the
scientistwho devoted any time to house
hold subjects was really considered not just
altogether right.
But now we have learned a lot about bac-
teriology thanks to the scientist, and every
housewife should know more about this sub
ject than she does.
Perishable food products should be kept
under refrigeration at all times if they are
not to spoil. Bacteria, like Our bodies de-
mand food they thrive in moisture and high
temperatures, but do not thrive when food
stuffs are held under refrigeration.

u. S. Cities Are Living
Beyond Their Incomes
BY Associated Press

New York, June 26.-American
municipalities have been living be-
yond their incomes according to a
preliminary census bureau report for
the fiscal year 1916. made public
to-day, which shows that the aver
age per capita Indebtedness for 213
cities is $74.64, a figure nearly eight
times as great as the corresponding
figure for the national government.
The excess of expenditures over rev.
enues in these cities amounted to
$73,591,0 ,070, or $2.2S per capita.
One of the most noteworthy fea-
lures of the report is the rapid
growth of the urban at the expense
of the rural communities. Wartime
conditions have increased the de-
mand for workers in the cities, espe-
cially in munitions centers, and con-
sequently there has been great
exodus from the country districts
with a proportionate increase in tho
populations of the cities.
