Eating raw clans dug from unap-
proved areas is dangerous practice
warned the weekly bulletin of the
State Department of Health in re-
vealing that eight of the forty-six
typhoid fever cases reported in Con-
necticut so far this year gave such
a history. To prevent the spread of
disease from this source, town and
city authorities were urged to make
sure that shellfiSh dug and sold are
from approved areas. Patrons also
should make certain before purchas-
ing and eating clans that dealers
have complied with this preventive
measure as shown by certificates of
approval in their hands.
Out of a total of forty-six typhoid
cases reported to the department,
the bulletin disclosed that thirteen
are still under Investigations or have
been traced to other sources. md
that eight or nearly one-fourth of
the remaining thirty-three gave q

up. But man does not live by eco

When the Christmas presents
are opened and all the "Just VIVA
T wanted's'' are said, it stacks
up this way: -
papa gets presents that only
Papa can use (even if they arc
neckties that nobody but a Papa
WOULD use).
Daughter gets presents that are
hers exclusively.
Son gets what he has been talk
ing about for months.
And Mama-well, she gets pres
ents 'for the house."
Now it is only right that the
house should get some presents
each Christmas. A new lamp, or a
beautiful table cloth, or an ice box,
or washing machine. H e a v e n
knows, the house needs presents
from the family.
But why should presents for the
house have Mama's name on them?
The reason women haven't re-
belled before is that they have
been afraid if they didn't take the
electric ice box as a Christmas
gift they wouldn't get it at all.
But if the family a afford an
ice box, they can certainly call it
a family present and find some
thing, no matter how inexpensive
just so it is a bit foolish-for
Mama.
Also, women are a bit hesitant

TRAINING MAIDS
CAN BE DONE WITH
FEW HEADACHES
Rv MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

December is hospitality month.
The spirit of Christmas inspires
many parties, some informal, 9TH
ers more elaborate. Edith Barber,
leading American home econo-
mist, has just written a useful
book for women who entertain and
employ others to help them serve
and keep house. Its called 'speas-
ing of Servants"
For the hostess who has some
one to help her, or for the woman
who must do her oWn serving, the
following section from Miss Bar
ber's Speaking of Servants will
be a practical guide during this
season of many parties:
THE PASSING AND REMOVAL
OF FOOD
If you are training a waitress,
you will find it simpler to make
il a rule that all food should be
passed, placed, and removed from
the left. All beverages are natur-
ally placed, poured, and removed
at the right.
The waitress should be shown
rather than told how to pass dishes
containing food, which should be
held low enough to make it easy
for the person to whom it is being
passed to help himself. The serv-
ing fork and spoon should have
their handles toward the guest,
with the fork to the left of the
spoon.
1.-The method of removing the
dinner plate with the right hand
and the bread-and-butter plate or
salad plate with the left hand
should also be shown. The way to
fill water glasses without remov-
ing them from the table and by
holding a napkin in tn left hand
slightly under the mouth of the
pitcher should also be, demon
strated. The general rules for serv-
ing may be summed up as follows:
l.. Serve hostess or guest of
honor first. Continue around the
table from the right of the person
served first.
2. Place, pass, and remove ali
dishes from the left.
3. Place, pour, and remove bev-
erages from the right.
4. Use left hand in serving
from the left, and right hand in
serving from the right.
5. Pass dishes in following or
der: Main dish, e t a b | e S,
sauces, bread, relishes, and salad
if part of main course.
6. Remove dishes from main
course in following order: Roasts
and accompanying dishes, dinner
and bread-and-butter plates or
salad plates together, relishes, and
salts and peppers. A small tray
or a folded napkin may be used in
removing the latter.
Z. A napkin, folder in a square,
should be used in placing and re.
moving all dishes.
8. The table may be crumbed
with the use of a folded napkin
and plate, if necessary, after the
main or salad course"
