SAYS

We heard man raising cain with
his wife because he made her mad.
You needn't blow up just because
your auto tire does. The opinions of
those with you are much harder to
change.
Some people marry for better or
worse while others marry so thew
can get some sleep.
Winter is coming. Don't buy a car
that's hard to start unless YOU live
on top of a hill.
Don't be impolite, but wait for
some people to finish what thew are
saying and you will die of old age.
There is a difference between ar.
gu'ng and talking things over. Argu-
ing only proves who can argue the
best.
BE honest with your wife and IL
follows as the day follows the night
mat you can't be so awfully terrible.
1t isn't hard to make boy 20 to
Ded. Just tell him to study his les
sons.
Even If loaded truck hasn't the
right OF way never knock it off the
road with light car.
Being broke with somebody is the
BEST way to make friends.

"Good-bye." called Nick from the
doorway of the garage where he was
mending tire.
Away went Mrs. Muskrat toward
the creek. but she hadn't been gone
two minutes when Markie came along
in his funny queer little home made
car.

anXiously.
Yes said Nancy" She went

than anything in the world and they
found out that Mother was talking a
birthday cake to Auntie Brown

steal the cake as she goes past and
I'm trying to catch up to her. Good

Away went Markie in his little
rattle-tralp washboiler car and was
soon out of sight.
And he was just in time, for at
that very minute Mrs. Muskrat was
talking to two very naughty looking
little fellows that you might have
taken for little boys, but Markie
knew that they were gazookumses.

was just about to hand the cake over
when Markie came along in his car.
Here you! Keep your hands off

And the gazookumses didn't need
to be told twice. Off they hoped
without so much as turning around
to see who was talking.
"Oh, Markie, Pm so glad to see

CARE AND CLEANLINESS
IN HOME ALSO NEEDED

1t contains poisons produced by
rotting or decay. Regulations safe
guarding the buying public against
material is present, have been
adoIhd by nearly all the states.
The shipment of such foods from
one state to another is now pro-
hibitcd by federal law. Many cities
also have local regulations which
permit the officials to seize mad de-
stroy any food unsuitable for con-
sumption.
The use of preservatives in canned
or prepared food has been the sub
ject of many careful experiments.
An attempt has been made to dis
cover any possible injury which
might result from the use of such
preservative, for instance, as ben
zoate Of soda.
Some preservatives unquestiona-
bly, are used in such small amounts
as to have no material effect upon
the health. The amount of benzo-
ate of soda, for example, which will
preserve certain articles of food, is
harmless, but the objection to these
practically harmless preservativcs is
not that the preservatives in them
selves are harmful but whether their
use makes it possible for unscrupu-
lous manufacturers to mix partly
decomposed matter into the manu-
featured product.
If preservatives are not used the
manufacturer is compelled to use
only clean, fresh material. At the
present time the federal laws pro-
tect the public to this extent, that
hny icn s a, %
state on the outside Of the package
the amount of any preservativc
that is present.
Dangers From
Disease Germs
There is another class Of dangers
that makes food protection neces-
sary. These are the dangers of in
lection by disease germs.
This is generally local problem,
since it has to do with the food that
is brought to the consumer day by
day. Many cities have adopted regu-
lations requiring dealers to protect
their wares against exposure to dust,
insects or other sources of infection.
They have regulations covering the
refrigeration of meats and fresh fish.
Elaborate regulations have been
adoptd covering the milk supply.
Cleanliness and hygiene begins at
home. If you buy clean food in the
market you must exercise some su-
pervision over the preparation Of
that food or you cannot be assured
that clean food from the market will
reach your table clean.
Servants do not always have a
clear conception of cleanliness in
the matter of food handling.
When the preparation Of food is
left entirely in the hands Of those
who have not had the advantage Of
education, can you expect them to
appreciate the dangers of insanitary
methods of food handling or under
stand the Importance of cleanliness
in the kitchen?
Those who do not know of the
existence Of bacteria may not be ex-
pectcd to take adequate precautions
against the spread of disease by
means of bacteria. Food utensils,
especially ice boxes, need frquent
securing, frequent cleaning and fire.

Now comes the governments crop report for the
month OF September and, contrary to the privat"
estimates issued during The marketing season Of
spring wheat, it shows falling off Of 2,425 900
bushels from its report for August on spring wheat
and a falling off in winter wheat yield of 3O3 900
bushels. 1t reduces its estimate for the month of
August of 7O00OO,ooO bushels total crop to 697-
1900 bushels for the United States at the end OF
September.
How the vast difference between an increase of
spring wheat of 100000 and more bushels in one
month and decrease of 100000 bushels as re-
ported by the government in the period should
occur is difficult to explain except under the theory

When America was young and most
Of the people lived in the country OF
in small towns. it was possible fol
nearly everyone to know how plants
and animals were raised for the
market.
When it was the custom generally
for housewives to do their own can.
ming and preserving for the winter
! they knew what material they were
putting into their jars. though home
? canning, unless carefully done, IS by
no means free from dangr.
Now, however, with the develop.
ment of industry, with the growth OF
cities, and with the general trend OF
population away from the country
! districts into the congested centers
of population, man has moved stead
lily away from the source of food
supplies.
Today we have reached the point
where great portion of our food
comes to us in sealed packages, made
we know not where, Of materials We
know not what.
Preservatives have been discover.
ed. ways Of using artificial coloring
matter have been found until it has
become impossible to tell by the
! taste or by the appearance of much
of the food taken from can wheth-
err it is nutritious or not.
1t is equally impossible to know
whether this canned food contains
any harmful personalities or color
ing matter and whether it has or has
not been adulterated.
These social changes which have
taken place have made it necessary
for the people of a state, acting to-
gether through their public officials,
to regulate the food products which
are placed on the market.
1t became comparatively easy,
therefore, for dealers and manufac-
turers to mix cheaper materials with
those high in popular favor or to
substitute cheaper materials FOX
more expensive ones.
Spices and coffee, in almost gen
cral use. were among the first i'm
ports to be adulterated. Glucose was
cheaper than sugar and could be
mixed with jellics, preserves, candies
and other food products containing
sugar.
Then it was discovered that fair
ly good imitation of butter could be
made of beef fat at a cost much
lower than the cost of butter. Ways
of adulterating olive oil with other
oils were found
Protection Against
Short Weights
1t was necessary, also, to protect
the public against short weights, to
assure the buyer that he was get
ing full measure.
In recent years Il new set OF prob
lens have arisen in connection with
the protection of the food supply.
1t was found necessary to pre:ent
the sale of food unfit for sonsump-
ton, of food that had been made
dangerous by contamination with
disease bacteria.
Regulations covering the canning
and packing industries became nee
nessary and also regulations cover
ing milk. meat, fish, eggs and vege-
tables. Decomposed food is real
source Of danger.

frequently happens, something went
wrong, and the tickets were not at
the box office when they called.
Furthermore the box-office man sa!d
the house was sold out.
Just then the San Francisco girl
noticed Jolson standing in the lobby.
"Im going over and ask him. to
get us in she announced with west

The hosts shouted their embarrass-
ment and plucked at her sleeve. They
demanded to know if single cock

sisted and walked over.

, him in her most appealing manner
II came all the way from San Fran

Without moments hcsitancy
Jolson walked to the box office and
held q hriaf conversation
Then he reported: "There are seats
in a balcony box. Not particularly
good. A little bit over to the side.
But I'll work in the center of the
