When Surgeon Washes His Hands.

DIR. r. r. Won Baracz, the eminent
Austrian surgeon, recommends in the
Wiener Medizinische WOchenschrift
the following method of washing the
hands for surgeons before performing
operations or handling wounds. He
says he learned it from Doctor Weir
of New York:
A handful Of chloride of lime is
placed on one plate and some crystals
of ordinary soda on another. After
carefully cleaning the hands with soap
and brush, a soupspoOnful Of chloride
Of lime and crystal of soda are taken
in the hands and crushed together with
Il little water. This forms n paste on
the hands and requires three or four
minutes. The hands are then rlnsed
in sterile water. The odOr of the chlor-
inc that Is released can be removed
by ammonia water, l to ) per cent.

Many Trench Diseases.

The unparalleled conditions of mod
ern warfare are found by DIR. j. Il.
Lind to have brought to the military
surgeons two new types of cases. One
of these is shell shock. apparently due
to the emotional strain upon the nerv-
GUS system; and the other is a surprls-
ingly large number of ailments arising
from the peculiar environment of the
trenches. A relapSing fever a tran
silent nephritis, and frOstbite of the
feet are the three chief disorders re-
sultlng from trench life. There are al
so trench enteritls, trench skin, trench
diarrhOea, trench rheumatism, trench
back, and trench jaundice. but these
may be symptoms of or connected in
some way with the three principal dis
eases.

GIVES SAFETY FIRST" IDEA

covntrys Homes From Pos
sibIe Accident

The safety of the home is the sub
ject Of pamphlet issued by the bu-
reau of standards, Department of Com
merce, entitled safety for the House
hold, Bureau of Standards, Circular
No. 10" An interesting account of
household hazards is given. The top
les are discussed clearly In n manner
which would afford basis for popular
education In safety first" The dan.
gers from electricity. gas, fire. light
ming, household chemicals and the 9TH
er common causes of accident are re-.
cited and many actual cases are de-
scribed. The purpose is to aid in re-
moving needless risk and fear. and to
develop intelligent caution where the
hazard cannot be entirely avoided.
The hazards of the home have in
creased in modern times, from the Scrv-
ice of gas and electricity and the use
of such dangerous articles as matches,
volatile oils. poSonS and the like. The
use of energy in the home necessarily
involves some risk which intelligent
planning and care will reduce to a min
imum.
Caution alone is rot cNovch. since

gives simple cautions and aims to guide
the formation of habits of CarcfulncSS.
The circular also suggests effective
home equipment To minimize the risks
involved and aims to encourage pub
lie measures To provide safety for the
household and community.
It is intended, not To increase fear
Of accident. but rather to remove the
causes and the need for alarm. The
sense Of safety to be gained by obScrv-
Ing these cautions would alone Justify
the careful study of this new circular.
This circular completes the series of
three popular household circulars
which deal with measurements. mate

The Point Of View.

A number of Kentucky mountaineers
had just arrived at Camp Taylor.
Probably not one Of them had ever
been out of the hills before this trip
to the camp. One young fellow was
standing on slight elevation where
an excellent view of the camp could
be obtained. His mouth and eyes were
wide open and his whole expression
was one Of establishment and wonder.
y sergeant approached and said,
well, how's 1t loOk?"
"Gee, this is big place." answered
the new addition to the army.
"Oh, if you think this is big wait

geant.

the rookie, in surprised voice.

PATRIOTISM AND GOOD
MILK.

Every owner of a dairy herd
should consider Ii his duty to
} himself and to the community
to keep only healthy cows, sup
} ply them with wholesome feed
and keep them In clean, comfort
able quarters. There Is not only
patriotism In the service to his
patrons which results from such
management, but there Is more
profit.
The mixers and all who ham
die the milk should realize that
they have in their charge a food
which Is easily contaminated
and should, therefore, take all
reasonable precautions TO pre-
vent the milk from becoming
source Of danger TO themselves
and to others.
The consumer should under
stand that clean, safe milk Is
worth more and its production
costs more than milk which con-
tainS dirt and disease germs;
therefore he should be willing to
pay more for it than for dirty
milk, which Is dear at any price.

Steam Destroys Disease Germs
and Injurious Bacteria.
SMALL OUTFIT EASILY MADE
Tests Show Five-Minute Treatment Of
Dairy Utensils Is Sufficient-Two-
Burner Wiekless Kerosene
Stove Is Useful.

Steam Is the arch enemy Of harmful
bacteria that turks In milk utensils.
But steam isn't the common method
of sterliZing used I'm small dairics, be-
cause 1t Is not always available. In
fact, lacking 1t, dairy utensils on small
farms are not often sterilized salts
factorlly, and as result diseases hide
in milk and may be carried to many
families. Washing milk cans and uten-
sils, at least by the processes or
dinarily used, does not insure free
dom from infection and contamlna-
ton.
For $40 or SIS simple steam ster-
ilizer. which will serve small dairy,
can be made In short time. At that
price-which includes small kerosene
stove-this sterilIzer should be prac-
teal In any dairy from which cream
or milk Is sold. And the additional
keeping qualities which the steriliza-
ton of utensils will give milk and
cream probably will pay for the cost
of the sterillzer In one season. For
when utensils are treated with steam
all bacteria or disease germs which
may be In them are destroyed, and
therefore milk and cream when placed
in these utensils will keep sweet much
longer

FOR $40 TO SIS. SMALL DAiR-
les CAN HAVE STEAM
STERIllZER.

The cost of the steam sterillz-
er itself should not be more than
! So. If II is necessary to buy Il
small stove the cost will be 81
or s. more. The materials used
I'm il can be bought at prices
about as follows: Roasting pan,
% cents to 81, depending on
the grade of iron. The galvan-
lied iron with asbestos and con-
structiOn work should not cost
more than 81, and the work can
be done by any timer. A two
burner wickless kerosene stove
costs from 81 to IS; but in many
cases ii will not be necessary to
purchase stove. The details Of
making the sterilizer and sug-
gestiOns as to how IL should be
operated are described in Farm
ers' Bulletin 74S Of the United
States department of agrlcul-
ture.
When properly operated this
sterillzer destroys practically all
the bacteria In the utensils, In
} cluding all disease germs, which
may be present. II will accom-
} plish the same results as any
sterilizer In which steam not I'M
der pressure Is used. Expert
ments with IL show that the
five-minute steaming is, for all
practical purposes, as good as
the Is TO 30 minute steaming
usually recommended.

RECORD POTATO CROP MUST
BE CONSUMED OR WASTED

Our potato crop last year is
estimated 70 have been 1885,
600 bushels-the largest ever
produced in the United States.
This crop cannot be carried over
the 1918 season. 1t must be con-
sumed or wasted. The food stu
alton throughout the world de-
mands that ii be consumed eff
fectively to relieve the existing
strain on the supply Of cereals.
1t Is the one great food resource
OF the world upon which there 10
now danger Of Il heavy loss.
The department of agriculture
is of the opinion that the situa-
ton demands that farmers sell
freely; that the larger dealers
move their stocks rapidly; that
the retailer content himself with
the smallest possible margin OF
profit, realizing that he is now
the most important factor in
speeding up potato consumption;
ana that consumers buy and eat
literally Of this plentiful food.

SAVE A LITTLE
SUGAR TODAY.
Use Sweet Fruits.

Sugar consumption in many
households can be easily low
cred not only by giving prefer
ence to dishes which contain lit
tie sugar or with which sugar
Is not usually served, but also
by the use Of sweet fruits. For
instance, fresh fruits or baked
apples may serve instead of
sweet plddings, or a salad in
place of dessert. Sweet, dried
fruits such as dates, raiSins or
figs served with breakfast ce-
reals will reduce the sugar
needs.

In the department of agrlculture's
tests of the outfit described a two
burner wickless kerosene stove was
used with excellent results. The ster-
nizer, however, may be placed on the
Kitchen stove or over any other source
of heat such as gas, gasoline. or
laundry stove, which burns either
wood or coal. Good results also are oh
tanned at very little cost by building
under the sterilizer small brick fur

Directions for Making.

This Is the way to make small
sterilizer. Specialists OF the United
States department OF agriculture,
who describe the process, say this
sterilizer will be of greatest use to
those who have one two or three ten
gallon or smaller cans, with a similar
number of pals and n strainer cloth.
1t can be used, however, with a large
number of cans. II is made of
