When this happens gas Is produced,
which ruins the flavor or taste of the
product. From the point of view of
the household bacteria are by far the
most important of the group of small
living things. They are very much
smaller than the yeasts or molds and
their power of reproduction Is al
most unlimited. They prefer dark
ness rather than light and while they
flourish in a warm temperature they
are killed by a high moist heat A
repeated boiling temperature, how
ever. is required to kill the spore
form of life. Bacteria are widely
distributed; the soil teems with
them, the water, the air and all food
exposed to dust and air.
Sunshine Must He Full and Direct
To Re Effective.
Bacteria are killed by direct sun
shine. but It must be direct. The re
cesses of a dark room are Utile af
fected by the sunshine that may Al
ter Into Its depths. Contents of
store-rooms should now and then be
sunned, and such rooms should be
regularly aired. We have learned
through experiment snd long prac
tice. that certain substances will pre
vent their growth. For example, they
cannot live In a heavy sugar solution,
a fact that Is made use of In pre
serving fruit* Vinegar, salt and
wood smoke also have a like effect
and their use is familiar In pickled,
spiced vegetables sad fruits and In
salted or smoked meats.
Milk Pan* Should He Rolled Sot
Merely Scalded.
Kltrhen methods In many of their
details fail to meet the requirement*
of sanitary science. The old-fash
ioned hatred of dirt for Us own
loathsome aake Is the best substitute
for this knowledge; but It Is not
enough For example, boiling has
long been known to kill whatever
was the cause of "spotting" of food.
Yet housekeepers did not boll their
milk pans. They scalded them, but
scalding Is such an IndeAnlte term,
and water at a much lower thaa
boiling temperature Is so often used ;
for the process that the desired end
Is not accomplished. When In such
case* after a careless process of
cleansing, the milk sours very
quickly, it is attributed to the
'•weathor*' or “bad luck."
The Mother as a Character-Builder.
The mother should feel Impressed
with the fact, that her child has only
one seed time, but he may have
many harvest times In life. His im
agination shows first and then mem
ory. It la easy to realise the im
portance of tho mother In building
up character. The mother should
choose the company for her daugh
ter, and should select her reading
course. As a rule we have too much
freedom for the young people. They j
read the press teeming with abomi-.
nations, and expose their minds to |
moral disease. The sister also plays
an Important part and can do much
toward toning a boy. Another weak
point I see daily, is the want of rev
erence for authority. In the forma
tion of character the child should be
taught reverence. There is not one
of us who cannot bring something of
this life to our fellowmen. No mat
ter how arid your life is, no matter
how’ poor and dull it is, it is possi
ble for you to be the giver of some
good to your neighbor. We can as
God’s flowers give out light, fra
grance and love. "REBECCA.”
All Right in His Case.
The teacher was giving the school
a little lecture on good conduct. "Let
me caution you on another point,
children,” she said. "Avoid criti
cizing. Don’t make a practice of
finding fault with other people, or
picking flaws in what they say or do.
It is a very bad habit to form, and
will make your own life unhappy.”
“Why, teacher,” spoke up a little
boy, "that’s the way my father
makes his livin’!”
“You surprise me, Georgy. What
is your father’s occupation?”
“He’s a proofreader, ma’am.”
The teacher coughed behind her
fan.
"Well, Georgy,” she said, “I will
make an exception in the case of
your father.”
A young man was taking the civil
service examinations and was exas
perated at the irrelevance of some
of the questions. One was, "How
many British troops were sent to
this country during the American
Revolution?” The young man nib
bed his pen for a moment in annoy
ance and then wrote the answer, "I
don’t know, but a darned sight more
than went back.—Lippencotts.
So long as one aspires, dally put
ting ideals into circulation through
the avenues of home-making, house
' keeping, business relationships,
i keeping much in the open air, there
is no danger of morbid introspection,
j Unless we make use of our Ideals
they are nothing but spiritual anes
thetics.—Helen Rhodes.

BE HONEST WITH YOUR CHILD.
J}E HONEST with your child. Do not give him a colt for
his very own, and then, when it is a three year-old, sell
it and pocket the proceeds. Such conduct on your part does
not provoke a tendency in children to follow the Golden
Rule, and seldom enhances their admiration and respect for
you. It is not sound business policy nor fair treatment; it
is not honest. Bear in mind that this child-life in these
first ten years is the most sensitive thing in the world ; neV&r
lose sight of that. Children respond to ten thousand subtle
influences which would leave no more impression upon a
plant than they would upon the Sphinx. Vastly more sensi
tive are they than the most sensitive plant.
Here let me say that the wave of public dishonesty which
seems to be sweeping over this country is chiefly due to a
lack of proper training—breeding, if you will—in the forma
tive years of life. Be dishonest with a child, whether it is
your child or some other parent's child—dishonest in word
or look or deed, and yob have started a grafter. Grafting,
or stealing for that is the better word—will never be taken
up by a man whose formative years have been spent in an
atmosphere of absolute honesty. Nor should you be dis
honest with your child in thought. The child reads your
motives as no other human being reads them. He sees into
your heart. The child is the purest, truest thing in the
world.—Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver Juvenile Court.
