Tin in the Hebrides.

The recent discovery of deposits

considerable interest In archaeoIo-

in the manufacture OF Scottish
bronze In prehistoric times had beer
imported from Cornwall. In this
connection II Is noted that Scottish
bronze contains n larger proportion
of lead than English bronze. Tho

Open Season
For Flies
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

IT HE house-hy multiplies during
the warm months from. April
1 to September. 1t has been
estimated that in forty days fe-
male fly may have 10000 900 de-
seendants.
The house-fy Is great little
carrier of bacteria, and spends it's
days fitting between the sugar
basin, milk pan and any decompos-
ing material available. Its hairy,
sticky feet make IL a most efficient
agent for diffusing any germs 1t
may pick up.
1t has been abundantly proven
that the fly carries infective ma
terial. Flies have been allowed to
walk over cultures of bacteria and.
afterward, over sterile plates OF
culture medium. A rich crop of
germs always developed in their
footprints.
1t is the usual thing for. bacteri-
ologists to catch flies with the
goods on them" There are nuner-
Gus instances in which the organ
isms causing cholera. typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and the plague have
been recovered from the bodies of
flies which were captured in the
neighborhood of cases of these dis
eases.
The spread Of contagious eye dis
eases has been connected with the
agency OF flies in carrying special
germs from eye to eye.
Besides bacteria, the eggs of vari-
Gus parasites which live in man IL
once they gain access have been
proved to be carried by flies.
Nothing is better established than
the Improvement in health condi-
tions wherever flies are destroyed
or prevented from gaining access
to our persons and food.
1t is at the beginning OF the fly
season that preventive work Is most
effective.
No decomposing refuse, such as
garbage or dead animals, should be
permitted to lie around anywhere
exposed to flies.
Effective screening Is one of the
most important OF oil the preven-
tive measures.
Flies should be kept out OF build
ings altogether, and particularly
should kitchens and dining rooms
be free from these dangerous pests
at all times. BE sure to keep them
from the faces OF sleeping babies.

Tow often do you have rice?
Let me pass on to you some
information CLEANED from a
visit TO the bungalow of a film ac-
tress in Los Angeles.
AS an aid to clear complexion
rice is invaluable, yet it might
easily become monotonous.
Voicing this sentiment, my host
to learn some OF the delights of the
rice bowl
To prepare plain boiled rice, set
to boil about two quarts of water.
Pick over and wash one cupful
(one-half pound) of rice. Drop
into the rapidly boiling water slow
ly so as not to stop the water from
boiling. Occasionally lift the rice
from bottom with a fork. Rice re-
quires about twenty minutes boil
ins.
Remove q grain and crush 1t with
the finger. If no hard center re-
mains, 1t is done. Drain it from the
water. Rinse thoroughly in a
strainer with running water. This
will give about four cups of cooked
fice. Spread it out on a shallow
plate and set II to dry in an over
with door ajar. or on top OF an as
bestos plate on the gas flames.
When dry, it is ready for serving in
the many delightful ways the peo-
pies of the world have invented for
this staple article of diet.
One of these simple ways Is to
reheat the portion desired In very
generous Quantity of fresh milk in
a double boiler. 1t may be sprinkled
with a dusting of powdered sugar
and a few grains of powdered cin-
namon.
For q change add a very few nice,
fat California raisins, or serve with
out milk but n little meat gravy to
give variety to the flavor.
There are a number OF dishes
founded on rice not especially de-
signed to meet the requirements Of
a defective complexion. Rice pre-
pared as previously directed may.
after Il has dried, be combined with
canned tomato and minced onion
and green pepper and seasoning and
cooked to n turn. The men folks
are always fond of this.
Then there Is a glorious rice tafel
OF the Dutch East lndics. II is rice
cooked with minced or dried
chicken and pieces of boncd white
fish, with n dash OF curry as we'll
as the regular seasonings.
But the housewife who would use
rice for her family must drst learn
to cool It correctly. Salt in tho
proportion OF one level tablespoon
to two quarts of what may be
cooked with the rice. Some folks
like q very little salt pork cooked
with the tomato, onion. etc, and
served with the rice. II your family
does not like rice, look to you,
method OF cooking II. The direc-
tions given in the beginning of
this article give excellent results
or course, a diet of rice and milk.
II persisted in for n great length
OF time, might not only become
tircsome but II might also be insult
fcient for body requirements. But
for n month or so, for those who
would cool down and for those who
confess to overinduigencc In tho
richer foods, you Will ind II well
come change.

The Kingdom,
ofthe Baby
An Acknowledge Expert On All
Matters Pertaining 70 Domestic
ManaRement.
BY Loretto G. Lynch,

7 VISITED the nursery Of one Of
Americas wealthiest babies
4 recently. The baby was just
all smiles and good nature, although
the day was warm enough to melt
several collars. He was playing
with building blocks on the floor
and semed to enjoy it.
The room was decidedly unfur-
nished. A very heavy linoleum
covered the floor. There was an
electric fan set high on a shelf
Besides humming a tune baby en-
joyed, it helped keep the air in mo-
ton. There was a large closet
which held the toys and the tiny
chair and table baby used at meal
times. The windows. were screened.
And baby himself had on practi-
cally nothing but a simple romper.
Not a bit Of food was he allowed
except those few things besides
milk which any mother may learn
about first .hapd at the local board
of health. And he was healthy and
happy and sweet tempered.
/ could not help but compare this
baby's kingdom with several others
1 have been observing. There is
the case of Baby Bob. His mother
is a poor young woman. She spends
oodles of, time ironing the fanciest
Of berufrled clothes for her baby.
When he goes out, he does not dare
creep to develop his muscles. He
.<o
And when he cries he Immediate
ly has something stuck into his
mouth. Why saw this child given
an ice cream Soda whole one for
himself-and the mother was silly
enough to ask the baby whether he
liked strawberry or some other
flavor.
When we saw recently that some
of the babies brought up in the
tenements Of n great city are taxi
ing prizes for health we ought to
pause and give especial praise to
the brave little mothers Of these
prize children who have won out
under such difficulties. Yet every
one of them will tell you that they
have followed the directions of the
board Of health or the milk stations,
where there are folks that really
know.
No mother ought to permit her
self to become too engrosscd in
housekeeping to neglect one of the
nations precious babies. During
the summer months especially, so
arrange your housework that you
will be able to give baby more than
one sponge bath a day. This Is far
more important for health and COM
fort than the cleaning Of windows
or the busting OF chairs.
No mother can expect to keep
baby's milk IN proper condition
unless she takes the trouble to keep
II in a cold place. There are on the
market several devices calling for
no ice. 1t Is advisable to look into
these before purchasing a refrig-
orator, however, tiny, which re-
quires ice.
But II 1t Is only n small dish-pan,
with n similar pan inverted over IL,
1t may be used as an improvised
refrigerator for keeping baby's milk
cold. Milk left out of the refrlg-
orator for even ten minutes IL not
desirable. Think OF this when your
milk dealer leaves the milk at 8
a. m. on n warm morning and you
do not arise until or 3 to put II
into the refrigerator.
Neglect your housework. II you
must, but do not neglect that
precious baby.
The Washington times., 1920-07-17
Household
Suggestions

Dry groceries should be kept dry
and clean. The flavor of tea, coffee
and spices is injured by air and
moisture; therefore, store them in
alright containers. Roasted coffee.
especially when ground. loses flavor
rapidly. Do not lay in a large stock
unless you can roast and grind IT at
home. The fat in chocolate may
turn rancid; so keep 1t cool and
dark.
To clean light gray doeskin gloves
let the gloves soak in a saucer with
sufficient gacoline to cover them:
take out, do not squeeze, but let
the dirty liquid drip off. Lay on a
thick clean cloth. and with a dry
piece of rag rub down, working
from the wrist to the fingers. Con-
stantly change the surface of the
rag, for as soon as 1t gets dirty
1t is apt to smear them. After this,
IL the gloves are not quite clean,
put them through the same pro-
cess again and hang in the air.
A little care In washing is all
that is necessary to preserve the
brightness of scarlet, pink and blue
flannels for a long time. All these
colors require a nice warm lather;
dry soap must never be used on
them, and tesspoonful OF salt
should be added to the suds and the
rinsing water for scarlet and pink,
and the sanae-quantity of ammonia
for blue. They should then be well
shaken and hung out at once to
dry. Articles of a delicate blue that
must be washed often are ruined by
careless washing.

Work by the Canadian government on a new Welland Canal has revived interest throughout the west and mid de west iny the long discussed project to connect the Great Lakes and the Att lantic Ocean so that ocean vessels may ply direct to lake ports.

 With the Welland canal being cleared for deep draft ocean-going vessels, the

river rapids will remain the main ob- stacles. Engineers say this may be done away with by dams or canals ex- tending from Galop Rapids to Montreal.
 The chain of Great Lakes now ex- tends about one thousand miles above Niagara, with Lake Ontario and the Upper St. Lawrence adding 250 more, when the Welland canal and the rapids are opened. The lower St. Lawrence is already open to big ships.
