Some people are inclined to be-

mean there would be six weeks more
Of winter, but they must acknowledge
that old man winters backbone is
about to be broken. This inference
is not drawn from the fact that the

maintaining health and preventing the
spread Of disease.
The most scrupulous care should be
exercised wherever food Is stored and
prepared.
BE sure that no germs are allowed
to live In the place where food for the
entire family Is prepared.
The kitchen, AZ far rs possible,
should be bright, airy. easy to clean,
and should have no dark corners.
All cooking utensils should be thor
oughly washed, scalded and dried be-
fore they are put away. The danger
of using badly washed dishes Is evil
dent to everyone.
When sinks and shelves are washed,
dirty water should not be allowed to
stand In the cracks to draw insects
and breed germs.
Dish cloths and towels should be
washed and boiled after using, and II
possible dried In the sun. The sun
and fresh air are the best germ killers
in the world.
Every place where food is kept
should have constant care. The refrig-
orator must be kept absolutely clean
all movable parts should be taken out
of 1t and thoroughly washed once a
week. At that time the pipes and
drains should be cleaned, racks thor
oughly washed with hot water and
soap suds. rinsed, placed in the sun
and aired, and the interior rlnsed with
hot water. and then cold water, dried
and left to air for an hour.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the importance OF special care for
all dishes and cooking utensils sent
to the kitchen from the sick room.
They should be scalded before drying.
At the termination of the illness, such
dishes should be boiled brlskly for ten
minutes before being returned for gen.
eral use.
The same set OF dishes for the pa
tient should be used every day and
kept In place separate from the fam
lily dishes. If no safe place can be
found, they should be kept In the pa
tents room covered with clean
napkin until needed.
hands of the person cooking. They
should be washed always before han
ding food. After using the handker-
chief or coming in direct contact with
the nose or mouth, wash the hands be-
fore touching the food.
Care should be taken not to cough
or sneeze in the nelghbOrhOOd of food,
especially food to be eaten raw, and If
the person cooking has a bad cold she
should take particular care to keep her
| hands clean.
Food for the sick should always be
most carefully prepared, and be as In
vitingly served as possible.
Trays, dishes, tray cloths and nap
klns for the patient must be abso
lutely clean. Paper napkins are better
| than solled linen.
The trays should not be overloaded
with food. The sight of too much food
frequently takes away the appetite
1t Is safer to err on the side of serv
ing too little than too much.
Food left on the patients tray should
be burned; 1t should not be eaten by
anyone else, or placed in the pantry
or refrigerator with other food.
Keep the kitchen clean. keep the
food clean and lessen the danger of In

If KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back

Neutralizes acids

Uric acid in meat excites the Kidneys
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
1t no longer is a source of irritation.

where An undertaken had charged
more than six times the normal price
