FREQUENT scALDING is BEST
To Keep Household Water Vessels
Clean and in Good Condition
Much Care Is Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
The greatest care is required to
keep household water vessels clean
and in good condition. Water coolers
should be of some material, such as
porcelain or enameled ware, which is
easily kept clean. They should be
scalded at frequent intervals. The
Ice, If 1t comes in contact with the
water. should be of known quality.
Doubtful ice should be kept from con-
tact with the water. Many families
cool drinking water by putting 1t in
the Ice box in glass fruit Jars or bot
ties.
Where it is believed or known that
the water supply is not pure, a filter
should be used. If filter is used
every precaution should be taken to
keep 1t clean and in good condition,
United States department of agricul-
turc specialists suggest. An earthen-
ware filter may be cleaned by thor
ough scrubbing with brush. Then 1t
should be placed in n pan or kettle of
water and boiled. A small piece of
wood should be placed under the jar
to prevent direct contact with the
heated bottom of the pan.

Beavers Most Marvellous
Accomplishment, Building
of Dams to Retain Water

Sand now we come to the most mar
velous of the beavers accomplish
ments-the feat of building dam, and
we shall understand a point which has
possibly puzzled many of us, and that
Is the reason for building this dam,"
says Raymond L. Ditmars in Boys
Life. in the course of an article on
animal Engineers"
Work on the dam Is now in order,
and this means additional clearings, as
q great amount of timber Is necessary.
The banks Of the stream begin to show
quite an open character, as the sap

nation of waste. Its favorite food is
green bark and this is easily obtained.
Many branches are stripped by the
broad incisor teeth and for time
these lie in confusion along the banks
but not for long. The foundation of
the dam rises In much the same fash
ion as that of the beavers house of
tOOth-hewn timber and once the out
line is established there Is a general
cleanup ON shore. Sticks that have
been gnawed free of bark are simply
carted to the water and turned loose
as is much other debris in the shape
Of fine, loose brush, left over from the
larger cutting. This material floats
downstream and lodges against the
framework of the dam, where 1t is
worked into the crevices, and Is fol-
lowed by water-soaked materials,
much mud and wet leaves from the
stream bottom. The dam Is soon eff
fective and the stream begins to rise.
The beavers now work ut the base of
the dam, making 1t broader by packing
1t with mud and producing the same
foundation of generous breadth at the
bottom with an inward curve toward
the top that we note in the most ap-
proved feats of human engineering in

FISH PALATABLE
and NUTRITIOUS
More Economical Than Meat Be-
cause Less Labor Is Re-
quired to Produce 1t.
Be SURE THAT IT IS FRESH
Carefully Broli, Boil, Bake or Fry
and Serve With WeII-seasoned
Sauce for a Change-Some
Well-Selected Recipes.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Fish Is not used as a food to the
extent it should be in this country
nor to the extent that 1t Is used in
other countries. 1t is cheaper than
meat because it requires less labor to
produce and market it, and because
fish consume in their growth very lit
tie material which is available or use
full in human food. Like meat, 1t Is
protein food, and If well cooked 1t
makes a nutritious and palatable
dish.
Even though purchased dressed, fish
should be carefully cleaned in the
home. After cleaning and washing
wipe dry with soft cloth and salt
well before cooking. The addition Of
vinegar or lemon juice during the
cooking is usually advisable when 1t is
baked or boiled.
Because they contain less of the So
called extractives which give flavor to
pork, beef, and mutton, fish are likely
to be somewhat insipid. For this rea-
son extra care should be used In the
selection Of the other food to be
served with it. Have 1t either very
highly favored or so mild in flavor
