Scots All Lovers Of Docs.

Scotland is great sheep-growing
country, yet it loves the dog; gives him
his due in life and reveres him In
death. At the castle in Edinburgh
there Is little plot of ground where
the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are
buried; 1t is charming spot, and on
many little tombstones there are ten
der tributes to departed friends. In
front of Saint Giles cathedral In the
same noble city, there is monument
to little skye serrier, and upon 1t,
carved in stone, an inscription to Rob-
bic, who refused to leave the church
yard where his master was buried and
died upon his grave.

maintaining health and preventing the
| spread of disease, AZ,
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 famflyis prepared
The kitchen, as far as possible,
should be bright airy, easy to clean,
and should have no dark corners.
All cooking utensils should be thor
ough1y 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 If
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 cut
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 rinsed with
hot water, and then cold water, dried
and left TO air for ain 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 brisSly 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 q 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.
! Attention should also be paid to the
hands of the person cooking. They
should be washed always before ham
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 neighborhood of food
| especially food to be eaten raw, and II
the person cooking has 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
willingly served as possible.
Trays, dishes, tray cloths and nap
kins for the patient must be abso
lutely clean. Paper napkins are better
than soiled linen.
The trays should not be overloaded
with food. The sight Of toe much fooc
| frequently takes away the appetite
| 1t is safer to err on the side Of sery,
ing too little than too much.
Food left on the patients tray should
be burned; it 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
lection from that point.
