One of the most important objec-

overlooked in the agitation regarding
the effect OF the disease on stock. it.
self. is the very serious menace which
tubercuar cattle are to the public

great sufferers from this source of
infection.
Origin of tuberculosis.
According to the best authorities tu-
bercuIosis Of bovine origin represents
about % per cent of all the cases OF
tuberculosis in children undcr five
years Of age. In certain types OF the
disease it is very much more, but talk
ing the tuberculosis cases rs whole,
about one case in four Of every child
under five acquires tuberculosis from
cattle. 1t is estimated that in New
York City between and 10 per cent
of the children that die in hospitals

tuberculosis. Medical authorities
point out that the country has been

THOROUGHLY WASH ALL FOWL
Skin Of Poultry Is Frequently Very
Dirty When Brought From Mar. .
ket-Use Warm Water.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The skin of poultry is frequently
very dirty when brought from the
market. Fowls should not only be
washed, but scrubbed with q soft
brush and warm water in which tea
spoonful of baking soda has been dis
solved. Such treatment will prevent
the disagreeable and "henny" taste
often noticeable in cooked poultry.
Poultry should be drawn immediate
ly,and unless it is known to have been
killed very recently, it should be thor
oughly washed on the inside and used
soon. Poultry that is drawn directly
after killing, on the contrary, keeps
better If not washed until used. It
should be hung in cold place or put
into the ice box with piece of char
coal inside the body. Cold-storage
chickens, under no circumstances,
should remain in warm room before
cooking. Such poultry should be kept
at cool temperature and cooked as
soon as possible. All cold-storage food,
when brought into a warm tempera-
ture, spells quickly. Many cases of
illness traced to the use of such food
are merely due to careless handling
and delay in cooking.

Chooses Both. Presents.

Betty, a six-year-old Columbus girl,
was greatly interested in Christmas
preparations. and her demands on
Santa Claus were enough to reduce
that person to bankruptcy. In addi.
ton to the gifts of Santa, the little
girl each Christmas received present
from her grandmother. Recently the
grandmother called Betty and ex'
planned that she had in mind two
gifts. and that the choice would be
left to Betty.
Now, Betty" said grandmother
which would you prefer, a nice big
doll or q new muff?"
Betty was nonplused. but only for

she exclaimed:

protection of human beings, particu-
larly children, from the dangers of boz
vine tuberculosis Is one of the things
strongly emphasized in the campaign
against diseased cattle. 49,.
There are only two ways in which
the disease can be eliminated. One
is to assure that the milk is free from
tubercle bacilli when it Is produced,
and the other Is to destroy the tubercle
bacilli present in the milk. The ex-
perts point out that the public should
accept the statement that common
herd is free from tuberculosis with
great deal Of caution unless there Is
ample evidence that the tuberculin
test has been applied and applied fire.
quently and applied correctly.
Use Eternal Vigilance.
Unless the milk which comes from
the herd is in fact free from the tu-
berculosis it should be pasteurized.
Furthermore eternal vigilance Is neces-
sary to make sure that pasteurization
is carried on In the proper manner,
otherwise the public consuming the.
milk is subject to great danger be-
cause it is acting on the assumption.
that it has been protected by proper
pasteurlzation. -..... ~ p. .-.

MALT sIRUP GOOD AS
A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
New Sweet Undoubtedly will
Make a Place for Itself in
Every Household.
Has a Delicious Flavor Somewhat Re
sembling Honey, Which Adds
Greatly to Its Falatability
and Value in Cooking.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Malt sugar sirup is brand new
sweet which has arrived on CONNER
cial scale mt the psychological moment
to relieve the sugar shortage, say the
specialists of the bureau Of chemistry,
who have investigated various substi-
tutes for sugar. In addition to being
sweet, malt sugar sirup has a deli
cious flavor somewhat resembling that
of honey, which adds much to its pal
atability and value as sugar suDsti
tuie. -.
While malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, its production on
a commercial scale is only beginning.
Two factors have stimulated its pro-
4iuction recently. The shortage of
sugar has developed market for it,
and the recent prohibition law has
made available both the raw material
and the machinery needed for its
manufacture. Malt sugar sirup is made
from the same grains as beer ami may
be made from corn or potatoes or any
plant containing starch. Barley, which
vas used until recently in the manu-
facture of beer, can be used now to
produce malt sugar sirup.
Breweres, with very little change,
can be used and are now being used
for its manufacture. Up to a certain
point the process for making malt
sugar strip is the same as the process
for making beer. Evaporating pans are
the principal additional equipment re-
quired by breweries to become malt
sugar strip factories. q,
Malt sugar sirup looks very much
like maple strip. 1t can be used for
everything that cane sugar is used for.
While its use on the table may not be
quite as. convenient as sugar, 1t is a
