HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEHOLD

To clean zinc, use hot soapy
water, then polish with kerosene.
When sprinkIlng clothes use hot
water; it dampens them more
evenly.
Aluminium ware can be polished
with a mixture Of borax and am
monia and water applied TO the
article with a soft brush. Rinse
well in several waters.
For cleaning pearls, one safe
method is to wash them in luke
warm water with white CASTLE soap,
and then to dry them by shaking in
a box filled with jewelers. sawdust
for If left wet the jewels may be
injured.
When reheating a pie, stand IL in
a deep baking dish filled with boil
ing water and place It on stove
for half an hour. Then, twenty
minutes before il is required to be
served, place it in the oven to heat
the crust. tt will be as if freshly
cooked.
Instead OF peeling potatoes for
steaming or boiling, simply cut a
narrow strip entirely round the con-
ter Of each one. After being cooked
drained and dried in the ordinary
way the tpotatocs slip easily from
the skins when the opposite ends
are pressed between the thumb and
forefnger.
Copper kettles or other utensils
that have been dulIed or blackened
by contact with the fire are easily
cleaned with a lemon cut in half,
dipped I'm salt, and rubbed over the
surface Of the metal, which must,
however, be speedily rinsed with
water TO prevent the acid from eat
ing into it.
To freshen a last years white or
light coIored felt hat, rub some
ground rice thoroughly into the felt
with a piece or white rag. Then
brush out well with clean soft
brush.
Vinegar heated 10 the boiling
point will soften paint brushes that
have become dry and hard.
Before lighting a fire try putting
the wood. not crOsswise, but slOp-
ing from the sides OF the CRATE TO
the center. This forms a funnel
for a free passage OF air, and, as
the fame travels up the stick more
quickly than it. does across. fewer
pieces are required, and the fire
burns up more brightly and in
shorter time.
To avoid danger IN timed fruits,
after opening the tin pour all the
liuuid into a saucepan and add a
Tablespoonful of caster sugar.
Bring 10 the bOIl then put in the
fruit and let Il get cold in the
syrup. Il is then ready for use. by
this process the danger OF any tin
favor, etc, Is destroyed. and Il does
not spoil the taste OF the fruit.

The Value of
Vaccination
BY Brice Belden, n. D.


TTaE advisability, indeed neees
sity, OF vaccination against
= smallpox is conceded by the
civilized nations. II has the conf
dence OF at least 0s per cent OF the
medical professional and Of IabOra-
tory scientists and sanitarians.
The statistical evidence Of the
efficiency Of vaccination IS over
wheIming and convincing. The
history OF smallpox in Germany
from the time OF the passage OF the
compulsory vaccination and reVac-
cinatiOn law in 1874 to the present
day reveals the practical stamping
out OF the disease In epidemic FORM
On the other hand, in Russia there
are about 10000 deaths annually
from smallpox, vaccination being
neglected there.
During the twenty-five years
preceding compulsory vaccination in
sweden there were $3.50 deaths per
million inhabitants, while during
the thirty-fve years following en-
forced vaccination the death rate
was reduced to 168 per million
Conceding that vaccination Is not
a permanent preventive OF small
pox-which nobody claims-it re-
mains true that IL mOdihes the
character OF this disease, depriYing
IL OF most Of its virulence.
Statistics Of the Municipal Hos
pital OF Philadelphia made in 1890,
show that previous to the epidemic
OF 1894 and 1895 the average NOR
tality in the unvaccinated was
5S.3S, while during the epidemic OF
1871 and 1872 the death rate in the
unvaccinated reached the appalling
figure OF GAL per cent.
During the past few years, how
ever, our epidemlcs Of smallpox
have been so mild that the disease
has been frequently diagnosed as
.chfckenpoN. This is attributable
to the increasing practice OF vac
cinatiOn.
As TO the duration OF the immuni-
ty against smallpox conferred by
vaccination we may quote the sta
tistics OF the United States Public
Health Service for the period OF
three years: OF 1888 cases OF
smallpox, 7gS had been vaccinated
within seven years preceding at
tack; 1,632 were vaccinated more
than seven years preceding attack,
and 16,52S were never successfully
vaccinated.
LescOhier finds that after one year
2S pei. cent Of persons become sus-
ceptible, after five years 80 per
cent, and after ten years 50 per
cent.
The general population should be
vaccinated every five years when
smallpox is prevalent. II directly
exposed to contagiOn one should be
vaccinated unless there Ess been a
successwuI take within nine
months. When smallpox Is not
prevalent all persons should be
vaccIuated in infancy and again In
childhood TO keep the population
moderately immune and so prevent
sudden epidemics.
With proper technique and after
care no bad results need be feared.
Any other skin wounds OF the same
extent. IL carelessly treated, would
give as many complications as poor
~ performed and cared for vaccina-
tiOns.
Vaccine virus as used today Is
from calves handled in scrupulOus-
ly clean fashion. and Is subjected to
animal and meteorological tests 10
proves its freedom from deleterlous
elements.
