The Society for the Prevention of

years and occasionally had to adver-

Ordinarily we use four or five dozen
cats each year for this purpose, be-
cause cats give the best results. No

Danger In the Dishes.

1t has been proven that very
efficient means of transferring dis
ease germs from one person TO
another is thru dishes which have
not been washed in a thoroughly
sanitary manner.
A dish may appear quite clean,
yet at the same time, from ny.
gienic standpoint, be contaminated.
AS 1t is impossible to test every dish
for freedom from bacteria, 1t Is nee
essary to standardize the method of
cleaning to insure freedom from
gross dirt as well as from bacterial
contamination.
The two factors for cleanliness are
soap and heat and the military
method of performing this operation
is as follows:
The dishes are placed in large
trays. Immediately after q meal the
food Is scraped from the dishes.
which are then scrubbed in the
Kitchen sink, hot, soapy water being
used. After rinsing in hot water the
trays are placed In n tank or boiler
which contains about two inches of
water. The lid is placed on the tank
and the water boiled about ten min
utes. The trays are then lifted from
the tank and the dishes allowed to
dry by their own heat. This requires
about two or three minutes and
eliminates the necessity of wiping
with a towel.

To consider only a few of the more
valuable ships now lying at the bot
tom of the ocean one might turn to
the Irish sea first of all. Off the
north coast there are the California,
Laurentic. Tuscania and Audacious,
while to the south there are the Lusi-
tania, Arabic. Folio. Hesperian and
Anglo-Colunlbia. Tn the Bristol chan
mel lie the steamers Falaba Glenart
Castle, Armenian and Manitoba, and
Off Plymouth are the Afric, La Neg
fa and Formidable. At the entrance
to the English channel there are
many important wrecks, including
the Laconia, Ohio. Kansas and Kleb-

and cargoes in the southern waters
Of the North sea, Including the three

agree that a man and woman with

But you, young man and young

Most OF the tough luck" isn't

good luck is a result. If you trace
it back you'll find nine cases out Of
ten that this tough luck" and "good
luck" are simple as the growth of a

been cultivated. Tough luck is one
neglected.
The young man who makes no
preparation for the responsibility of

luck when in, after years he finds
himself out of work and no flour in
the house to feed his flock. He
isn't all to blame. The girl who mar
