The Brussels Post, 1915-6-10, Page 3ie awe& tO glie rieI 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 morally clean man, for phy,sical cleanliness is a long •atop toward spirituality. The voice should bo trained to be musical, the hands to be helpful, the mind filled with pure thoughts; then, and only then, is matt at his highest and best and his influence the strongest, A morally glean man, or woman, &hames one who has 'some vice to conceal. The ntob will follow the Strongest leader;strength lies in purity, mental, moral and phyrsical, Phillips Brooks, the great Bishop, swayed, thousands by his personal- ity; men, women and children loved .and reverenced him and his memory is an inspiration.—Shivloy Strange.

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.

Now the day previous there had been heavy fighting on the very ground that they were scouting, so that when our Oldham hero saw a German helmet lying behind a hedge, he was struck with a bright idea.

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. k Clever Roe'.

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. The Right Young 3Iaai.

FROM SEVERAL DIULGIS OE VEGETABLE ORIGIN. gas Been Used with Success: In Crises Where Operations Were Found to Be•Impossible. •A new treatment for inoperable cancer is announced in.. Medical Journal by Dr, S. P. Beebe, proles, sor of experimental therapeutics in the Cornell Medical School. Dr, Beebe who is tog/waled as an au- thority on the treatment of canoe«r, thinks so well of the new method that he says he has "not seen here- tofore such consistent impreve- reentt, of the character men•taoned follow in the type of patients cited by the use of other known reme- dies." The discoverer of the new remedy is Dr. Alexander Horovitz, an A ustrian, who eundueted his pre- liminary •studies in his native coun- try, Re has been eerrying en -ex- perimental work in the past year; and in this Dr. Beebe and Dr, J. Wallace Beveridge have been aid- ing. 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. L e.. Insured.
