Mince Your Riluheii Sanitary,
Many of the articles which ars
publi:Shed from biane to time on
sanitation in the home aro not read
by many housewives, because of the
uninteresting way in which they
are written. Here is an article by
Alice R. Qairby, which appeared in
"Safe Milk,"'" published by City
Dairy Co., Toronto. .It splendidly
combines an interesting story with
an instructive .article, and every
housewife can benefit by the lesson,
aa well ars fully enjoy the reading,
"You aro always so fussy and
particular and forever talking
about sanitation and hygiene that I
want you to see any sanitary kit-
chen."
It was niy newly -married sister
talking. I was paying my first
visit to her at her new home in a
distant city. I was glad it was my
sister, because I would not have
dared tall. as plainly to. anyone else
as I did to iter concerning the con-
dition in which I found her kitchen.
"Now Betty, isn't it absolutely
immaculate? Doesn't it come up
to even your high standards for
sanitary kitchen 1"
Her kitchen did look immaculate
and it appeared to be as sanitary
as one could desire, but I saw marry
things which were not in keeping
with my idea of perfect sanitation
and without hesitation 1 told my
sister about it. The floor was of a
reddish composition with rounded
corners trod running up several feet
like a wainscotting. There were
tiles about the range and her sink
was of white porcelain. It did look
dainty enough, but there were only
two small windows. These were
high rip and the lamer- half thickly
shaded with sage cur•et:ers, while
dark shales were drawn down to
meet them.
"In the first•plaee," I explained,
"take down those sash curtains,
put up the shades .and get a new
door leading to the back porch
which is at least half glass. You.
have no sun in your kitchen,' and
without stn your kitchen cannot
be called sanitary. Sunshine is
better than ail the other things in
the world for destroying germs and
promoting cleanliness,
Then I began to criticize my sis-
ter's kitchen from beginning to
end. I pointed out to her that
white tiles and porcelain Bink and
composition floors are by no means
all there is to sanitation. In one
corner was a white willow waste
basket, in which cracker boxes, pa-
pers that estate around groceries
and meats and other things had
been tweed. I told her that this
waste basket was not sanitary.
She was inclined to doubt me until
I explained that the little partioles
of food from the papers would at-
tract flies and other things, and
that in the tiny crevices between
the woven willow strands of the
basket alt sorts of little things
might batch out. "Get a metal
waste basket," I said, "and then
you can clean it every day by set-
ting it in the sink and pouring
boiling water over it, In this way
you may be sure neither roaches
not flies will deposit their eggs in
it, nor can any dirt collect in it for
a sufficient length of time to breed
germs:"
My sister was forced to agree
with me and made a note of it.
Then she looked as though she
were challenging me to find any-
thing else that was wrong. I did,
First I told her to throw away the
tin sink strainer and get one of
white enamel, as the tin would rust,
dirt would colleet in the corners,
and in spite of ordinary cleaning,
it would become a breeding place
for germs. To prove this I peeked
up a wooden skewer and ran it
around the corners of the strainer,
scraping up a quantity of dirt. My
sister looked pained and surprised.
"I scrubbed that out thoroughly
this morning," she said. T explain-
ed to her that a white ,enamel sink
strainer with rounded corneas
would be cleaned perfectly but the
tin ones and the cheap colored
enameled ones would not.
The next thing I noticed was an
egg beater hanging up in the kit-
chen pantry, My deter said she
always scalded it befot+e using, but
with a pin I picked out my spots cif
dirt whichhad collected in the cre-
vices, "What shall I do 1" asked
my sister, and I told het to get the
egg beaters which :are enclosed, in
glass. They are exceedingly rim.
pie "these are no cogs or blades to
eolleeb the dirt and they are always
kept away from the dirt inside the
glass jars,
Her meat chopper was arranged
fro fasten on her kitchen table, and
she had a board which curved
around in order to collect every-
thing that event through it, Sho
thought it was a pretty good idea
;cubic with a kitchen knife 1 scraped
the surfaes of that board and
proved to her :that it was not possi-
ble to keep any board absolutely
Olean if anything moist were used
en it. I told her about ordinary
parchment paper, how to buy it by
the roll, and how to cut off a small
picot to put under'the chopper,
ehrowing away the paper after it
was thus used. I also advised I er
to put this paper . over her m 'at
board and to use it in various other
manners.
'Out on the back 'porde :hes dish
cloths, two .of them, were hanging
to dry. s "Three twines a day you
wash 'these out in clean hot water
and suds 'and then rinse them," .1
told her. "It takes at least twenty
minutes of your time every day to
wash thein out, hang these up and.
bring !them in again, If you would
buy paper dish cloths, which may
be ieecured at about 15 cents a
dozen, you would save all this ex-
tra work and bother, and they
would cost you scarcely nitre than
the soap you use three times a day
to keep the cloth ones clean,"
These paper dish cloths, I explain-
ed, are tough and insoluble and
will not go to pieces and get on
the sink drain.
I noticed that the milk bottle in
her refrigerator had the paper cap
top removed. I told her she should
always keep am inverted tumbler
over the bottle to prevent the milk
becoming contaminated.
I made her promise erre also to
use pasteurized milk, warning her
that raw milk even whenproduced
under the most ,sanitary conditions
was swede.
I told her to look up her milk
man and at the ,earliest opportunity
visit the milk plant employing him
and ask the proprietors to show her
through and explain the different
methods they use to protect the
health of their customers and to be
sure to :ask if all their a nilk is pas-
teurized before being delivered—to
see for herself just how it is done,
Now any sister hada really good
kitchen, probably better than the
average. It cost . her husband a
great deal of money to have it: fit-
ted up for her, but as I have al-
ways maintained white tiles alone
do not make for sanitation. They
are greatly Ito be desired, but un
lees you watch out for the little
things, such apparently inconse-
quential things as I found im my
sister's kitchen, all the white tiles
in the world will not mean cieanli-
Hess. It is better to have plain
whitewashed walls and a scoured
wooden floor together with such
cleanliness as I have described than
itis to have a strictly modern kit-
chen .and then equip it with inferior
and unsanitary utensils which col-
lect dirt and aid in breeding germs.
Be Whole and Wholesome.
To gain your own respect as well
as that of your neighbor, you must
be neat and physically- attractive.
Beauty in ,slovenly attire sloes not
appeal half so strongly as comeli-
ness in clean raiment, and, what-
ever your condition ire life, you can
keep yourself whole and wholesome:
The wise farmer sees that his oat-
tle are wholesomely and comforts'
ably housed, knowing the penalty oe
negligence; how much more neces-
sary it should seem to him to have
everything around the house sani-
tary and comfortable.
Mosb of all, the drainage should
be as perfect as possible; to breathe
pure air is absolutely essential to
health, and he who neglects his
drainage and plumbing invites a
host of skeletons into the house
that will not be olo•seted.
A person whose body is untidy
is apt to have an untidy soul; for
there is an influence in the outer
raiment over the mind and soul
that is far-reaching and strongly
defined.
A clean blouse and skirt, fresh
neckwear, pretty slippers and a.
dainty white apron, donned in the
afternoon by the tired housewife
are restful .and soothing. She for-
gets that she has labored, when the
traces of her tail .are removed'; it
is a merciful Providence that
changes the currents of our
thoughts with a change of clothing,
or environment.
Nine women out of ten, if con-
oultecl about the nature of a gift,
will choose something for personal
adornment. This is not vanity; it
is a justifiable desire to make a
pleasing .appearance.
The 'hopelessness and wickedness
of the very poor is fostered by the
untidy and unwholesome condition
of their surroundings, front which
there is no escape, rather than by
natural depravity,
A physically dean is usually a

Lesson XI. The Blessedness of }'iii'-
giveness.--L'sa, 32, Golden
Text, Psa, 32, 1.
1. The }lege, Ilatitl of Sin
(Verses 1-4),
Verses 1, 2. These verses recite
the "blessing of forgiveness."
Saint Paul, in .Romana 4, uses them
forcibly in his argument,
Blessed—Our Psalter (Psa, 1, 1)
begins with this }void and weaves
its happy charm throughout the
music of praise' and thanksgiving.
The word means "happy," as all
blessing must bring happiness.
Transgression ., sin , . ini-
giuty—Tlhese words frequently re-
cur in the Old Testament, They
mean, respectively, (1) rebellion, a
forcible breaking of God's law; (2)
"missing the mark," or wandering
from the way; and (3) 'depravity,
grave moral delinquency. Mese
three wordsare repeated in verse 5.
Forgiven ... covered , . , imput-
eth not iniquity—A threefold par -
ton including all wrongdoing.
"Forgive" neeans to take away
the burden (see John 1. 29); "co-
ver" implies making the sin to
appear so as not to meet the eye of
the judge; and "not to impute
iniquity" is in the nature of a can-
eel'latiom of the debt which the
debtor owes., but which he will not
be required to' pay.
Guile—Deceitfulness. Absence of
iniquity cannot he .imputed where
guile remains, There must be nei-
ther
enther self-deception nor an attempt
to deceive God.
3• Bones—In Hebrew poetry,
"the bones" denote the fundaailen-
(id part of the living organism. In
Proverbs, they are spoken of as the
seat of health (16. 24); in Psa. 6, 2,
of pain or vexation ; in Pea. 22. 14,
tthe psalmist's bones (that is, the
man himself, soul and spirit ILS well
as body) are "out of joint" because
of the persecution of his enemies ;
in Psa: 35. 10, all his bones thrill
for joy because of deliverance.
4. Moisture — Figuratively, the
vital sap, 01 juice, of the living
organiem.
II. Penitence Before Forgiveness
(Versos 5-7).
5. I acknowledged my sin—Tlhis is
the first step to peace and happi-
ness. Me penitence must be com-
plete and whole -hearted. Nothing
may be withheld, It is well to em-
plhssize,this fact'be.eause from the
beginning man had. deluded himself
by thinking he meed not confess
"all." An ipfinitesdmal piece of de-
cay in a tooth will make the cover-
ing of silver and gold invalid.
Thou forgavest — Although the
weight of sin was enormous, Jeho-
vah lifted it all as soon as entire
repentance was made.
6. For this— "Therefore"— an
esfhortation spontaneously issuing
from the life of one who has made
the experience.
Mayest be found—Throughout the
Old Testament is an implication
tisat a time may come for an indi-
vidual when the forgiving Gocl may
not be found. (See especially Isa,
65. 6; also Dent. 4, 29; Jea•. 29. 13;
Prov. 1. 28;. Eecl., dhap.. 12, and
frequently in the Psalms).
Great waters overflow "Floods
were frequent in Palestine ; the
thought was not wholly lacking that
the Mediterranean might inundate
the 'country. (See Pea, 18, 16; Ina.
28. 2, 17; 30. 28; Nalh. 1. 8).
iII. Instruction from the Most
High (Verses 8-11).
8. I will instruct thee—Jehovah,
and not (as some commentators say)
the psalmist, its speaking. No hu-
man speaker would (lame to say, I.
will counsel thee with mine eye
upon thee. (See Psa. 33. 18; 34.
15; Jer, 24• 6, and in many other
passages.)
9, 10. As the brute animal can-
not reason and must be controlled,
man is warned not to become like
Many sorrow's wilt} he upon them
who thus become "brutish" (see
Pea. 49, 10, 12, 20; 73, 22; Jar, 10,
14, 21; also Job 33, 113), but loving-
kindness, or mercy, will be about
him that trusts& in, ;Jehovah.

SPIES BIG MENACE TO ITALY
OBTAIN VALUABLE I;CFORMA-
ATION ABOUT COUNTRY.
Woman Is Arrested in Attempt to
Destroy Strategic Railroad
at Nervi.
It a well known fact that Italy
is infested with German and Aus-
trian spies who, besides obtaining
valuable information about the de-
fences of the country and the pre-
parations for war, are plotting to
damage the railroads in case of mo-
bilization. Germans disguised as
workmen were arrested near Genoa
recently, and it was suspected that
they were abbempting to blow up
some of the railroad tunnels under
the Giovi mountains. The Germans
succeeded in convincing the police
that they were workmen in a near-
by factory, owned by is fellow conn-
aryman. They were expelled. As
a result of this incident, however,
all the railroad tunnels were
guarded by troops.
The police have arrested a Ger-
man woman at Nervi, near Genoa,
who was in the habit of going for
long walks on the hills. On being
shadowed she was discovered stand-
ing in a suspicious attitude near a
railroad tunnel where in a deep
hole freshly excavated and care-
fully concealed an enormous quan-
tity of dynamite was hidden. 'Phis
line is one of the most important
railroads in northern Italy.
Nothing but the bare announce-
ment of the woman's arrest and its
motive has leaked out so far about
this case. Even the woman's iden-
tity has been withheld by the police
who, it is reported, are following
important clues in the hope of dis-
covering her eceomplices. The
Italian police are past masters in
the "third degree" art. It seems
certain that no woman would have
attempted to blow up a railroad
tunnel unaide d•.
The Corriere della Sera of Milan
says it is useless to point out the
extreme gravity of this case, and
adds:
"When the enormous number o.f
foreigners residing in Italy is con-
sidered and the extension of our.
railroad lines and the great facil-
ity with which they can be irrevo-
cably damaged is taken into ac-
eount, it is clear that the Nervi
case sliottld :serve as a serious
warning to the Government, the
more so as numerous similar in-
stances have occurred during the
present war.
"Italy is now full of foreign
ageubs who, besides being sent here
for espionage, are preparing sur-
prises for us in case of mobiliza-
tion. It is therefore indispensable
that timely precautions should be
adopted and the railroads closely
guarded, especially in localities
where communications can be eas-
ily interrupted. If such precau-
tions are delayed runt$} ano•biliaa-
tion is ordered they may prove too
late. Lb is not difficult to have the
railroads guarded and any delay
under present ciroumatanoes will
be notlung short of criminal,"
In allprobability the Italian rail-
roads will be placed under military
control, a 'measure vwhdoli has often
been contemplated in cases of gen-
eral strikes, and will certainly be
baleen in ease of war.

BROKE UP
GERMAN ATTACK
9
surf ^its -•r shrta isnot: u. 7sma:u'1` '•P+.;•Frema e
Germany planned the introduc-
tion of poisonous gas as a potent
agency of warfare.
The gas innovation was no mere
murderous impromptu. The gas
factor was to be the contribution
of German science to a movement
that would revolutionize the west-
ern oaeipaign against the allies and
dazzle the world with proofs of
Germany's military genius.
The history of the present war
may date the visible collapse of
Germany'e hopes from the result of
the fighting at Langemarck. Ger-
many called chemical science to her
aid .and poisoned the air with the
gas that was to clear the way for
the irresistible advance of the Kai-
ser's army, It was not the Kai-
ser's advance, but the valor of
Canada's obstruction of that ad-
vance that proved irresistible.
Canada is doomed to study a
weary and apparently unending list
of casualties that records the heroic
names of Canada's killed, wounded
and missing. The dead, the suffer-
ing and the captives are not the
forgotten victims of an obscure
skirmish. The untried troops from
Canada, threw themselves across
.the conquering pathway which Ger-
man chemistry had cleared for the
mightiest attack that German stra-
tegy could plan. Canada's sol-
diers broke up that attack. They
dislocated the plans of Germany's
great general staff. They grudged
neither life, limb nor liberty for
the Empire which they served, and
fur the country whose name they
carried to victory. The action in
which so many Canadians fought
and fell nlav be remembered as the
turning point in this w•ar, as a
battle 'that changed the history of
the world.

Remedy Purely','rgelable.
The experiments on which this
preliminary* report is based were
carried on in the General Memorial
and the Polyclinic Hospitals in New
York, The feature of the treatment
is a liquid extract niece from sev-
eral drugs of vegetable origin, The
extract is adminietsmed with a hy-
podermic needle and has been used
both .by i.njeetiun into the minor
}naps itself and otherwise aubcu-
teneously, but inenearly all the
cases treated in the General Me-
morial Hospital it was used as a
local application in the form of a
plaster or poultice, or the same ex-
tract was aclminfstered internally,
either as a liquid or in pill form.
The treatment has been tried tut
the Polyclinic Hospital without any
accessory treatment. such as X-
rays, radium, vaccines, toxins or
sera, and the results there have
been much better than in the Gen-
eral Memorial Hospital. More than
thirty oases were treated in the
Polyclinic under the supervision of
Dr. Beebe and Dr. Beveridge, and
not one death from cancer resulted.
Most of the patients hare been dis-
charged as cured, but Dr. Beebe
and Beveridge, afraid lest the rem-
edy will be estimated too highly be-
fore it has fully proved its worth,
hold that not time enough has
elapsed to show whether or not
these patients are entirely cured.
Reeonnnended Willi Reserve.
Dr. Beebe, in his article, recalls
the ultimate failure of other widely
heralded euros for cancer, and tra;vs
that because of this Ile writes with
great reserve. First he detaila
three case-., of superficial cancer
treated outside the hospital. One
of six years' standing, healed coni
pletely in six 'weeks; a second,
which had been retarded by expo-
sure to X-rays, healed in ten weeks
and remains healed; and a third,
of eleven years standing, healed in
six weeks and remained healed.
The s+ncond group was treated at
the General Memorial Hospital, It
included several of the worst re-
current wind inoperable eases. Most
of the patients died—some of heme-
orv4ages and others as the result
of denudation of large blood ves-
sels. 11l of tiers erases had been
treated with other remedies be-
sides that d.vs:d by Dr. Horevitz.
The sufferings of these patients was
greatly relieved by the treatment
and the tumor mass receded in
size,
The Polyclinic cases were treated
entirely by Dr. Horovitz's treat-
ment, They included patients with
malignant sarcoma, beginning in an
operative scar on the back caused
by the removal of a kidney, inoper-
able carcinoma cuf the breast, and
carduotna of the bladder. In one
Casa -the patient died of Bright's
disease. The others recovered.
Dr. Beebe and Dr, Beveridge are
not making positive statements as
to the remedy, but they say that it
has proved to the of some value in
treating inoperable cancer, and
that time will show whether it real-
ly cured.
Arrangements for Trial.
Arrangements have already been
made for a general distribution of
the liquid extract, S. M. Noyes, 7
West Thirty-eighth Street, New
York, is interested in this work
only for the good it may do Three
of the largest hospitals in the culy
will be the centres of this treat-
ment in New York, and Dr. Beebe
and .l.)r. Beveridge will instruct
physicians in the use of the extract,
Other hospitals in large cities wird•
be supplied with the extract for
free treatment.
