*k - ■ ■ ^ _ ________________ | FOR HEALTHY AND LONG LIFE| % Simple Rules, the Observance of Which W’iii Double C? Capacity for W'ork and Pleasure ^ k. _.a_.a__.a._.a_.a__n_A -'' V K--'■•'VV-1 Daiiy Exercise. Clerks, bookkeepers and thousands ol other indoor workers suffer from the lack of pure air and muscular ex ercise. If an attempt is made to be gin systematic exercise, or an hour or so is spent in digging or chopping wood, undue soreness and fatigue are produced. This disagreeable result often stops the experiment. Instead of discouraging the trial, the very soreness should point out the great n ed of the body. T? the work wore persisted in and gradually increased the stiffness would soon disappear, and leave in its place a general feeling of increased vigor. The nenes are strengthened and the bodily activities quickened. The ef fect is not alone on the muscles used, but upon each organ. The blood is purified and the digestion strength ened. The effects of a prolonged sedentary life are overcome only by working off the accumulated poisons and creating an aj petite for new pure food. This is built up in the body, and thus the whole man is renewed. Exercise must be carefully increased and adapted to the individual muscu lar strength. The weakest muscles must be brought up to the standard of the others. For feeble persons who are not able to do the desired work, massage, Swedish movements and mechanical exercises should be employed. For more robust persons, walking, horseback riding, rowing, bicycle rid- i ing and especially swimming are to be [ recommended. How to Have a Clear Head. The man who desires to have a clear head, a brain keenly alive to the subtle influences of the universe about him, alert to respond to every call made upon it by the bodily organs tin der its supervision—ready to receive Impre-sions from the infinite Source of universal thought, and capable of thinking the high thoughts of God after Him, must live simply, abstemi ously. naturally, and must avoid every harmful and inferior food. He will select the choicest foodstuffs. These consist of fruits, nuts, dextrinized grains—that is. well toasted grain . preparations, toasted bread, toasted I wheat flakes, etc. He will eat spar- | ingly, never to repletion. He will exercise out of doors at least two or three hours daily, living as much of the time as possible in the open air. He will sleep eight hours at night. He will take a vigorous cold bath every morning on rising, and will take at least two or three times a week, a warm, cleansing bath, just before going to bed at night. He will con serve for useful work every energy of mind and body. He will endeavor to live righteously in the largest sense of the word. -■ Night Air and Consumption. The old fallacy that night air is a '• dangerous miasm it not yet dead. I Much has been said about fresh air, ; outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu losis. Many victims have experienced the healing power in these natural j agencies. But too often the consump- I tive. after a day in the sunshine or in the cold, crisp winter air, retires j for a night's sleep in a dark, stuffy, airtight room. Don’t be afraid of night.air. Open the bedroom to all the sun possible during the day. The room will then be dry, though cold. Damp ness is dangerous and more apt to oc- j cur in a closed than in a wide-open ! room. Keep at least one window in the bedroom open day and night, sum mer and winter. The door should shut the chamber off from the rest of the house. In the morning the patient should be taken quickly into a warm room for the cold sponge bath. The Only Safeguard Against Tubercu losis. Tuberculosis is a low-level disease. People are not subject to it until their bodies have become weakened and their whole constitution undermined. It used to be thought that one could not have tuberculosis if only he ex orcised his lungs. A man who had this disease went to a professor in Vienna for advice. The professor said, “You had better get a horn and learn to play it, to exercise your lungs.” “Alas, professor,” answered the man, “I am a band master now.” To live a natural life is the only safeguard against tuberculosis. One climate may#do as well as another if only you live out of doors, get plenty of cold, fresh air, bathe the body with cold water daily, eat simple, nutri tious food and take as much exercise as possible without exhausting the body. Inherited Consumption. Some people think that because their parents died with consumption, they are doomed by the same plague. This is not so. Cases of inherited -o consumption are very rare. The real reason why so many in a family suf fer from tuberculosis is to be found elsewhere than in heredity. The aillicted member does not know the necessity for personal cleanliness, for religiously collecting and burning all matter spit up. Tbe use of the ordinary pocket handkerchief and the washing of it in the family laundry is a constant source of danger. Rice paper handkerchiefs or old linen should be used and then burned. The person himself is almost harm less. It is only the lack of care in scattering the genus that makes him a dangerous companion. These bad practices are usually due to ignorance. It is not necessary to isolate the pa tient for the protection of the family. Each person not affected should breathe fresh air, exercise out of doors, eat simple food, bathe daily and sleep eight hours each night. This will increase the body’s vital power and resist the deadly genus which may be breathed in. The rest of the family being thus fortified, the patient should co-operate in the pro tection. Let him study to prevent the germs from being scattered broadcast through the house. Then let all co operate in the fresh air cure of the patient, and he may live in peace and pleasure, gradually fighting his way back to health, and in no way dan gerous to his friends. When every consumptive intelli gently co-operates with the family and physician, the day of "inherited consumption’’ will be passed. Stomach. The majority of people never stop to think that the stomach is anything more than a receptacle for things that have been chewed. They get hold of something that tastes good and swal low it into the stomach to get it out of the way, so there will be room for something more. That might be all right if the stomach were a garbage box that could be carried off and emptied; but nature intends the stom ach for another purpose. We are constructed of what we eat. We should stop to think of that. We should be careful what we swallow, for it be comes brain, heart, limbs,' blood; and if we are to have good blood, clear brains, sound minds, sturdy legs and strong arms, we must eat food that is capable of making that sort of tis sue. Foot Prints of Alcohol. Employers find that those addicted to the use of alcoholic beverages are not to be depended on. Even if they are always at their work the charac ter of it suffers just in proportion to their indulgence. Now this condition is only a sign of disease in certain con trolling centers in the nervous sys tem. In this simple condition, as well as in a multitude of other diseases of the nervous system, we may trace the foot-prints of alcohol. Here we have an explanation of the overcrowded in sane asylums of to-day, to say nothing of the army of sufferers at large. Sta tistics from France and other Euro pean countries show that the increase of insanity is parallel with the increase in the consumption of alcohol per cap ita. RECIPES. Cheese Straws.—Roll scraps of puft paste thin, and sprinkle with nut cheese, grated; fold, roll out, and sprinkle again, and repeat the pro cess. Then place on ice to harden. When cold, roil in rectangular shape one-eighth of an inch thick; place it on a baking pan, and with a pastry cutter dipped in hot water, cut into strips four or five inches long, and less than a quarter of an ingh wide. Bake in a moderate oven. Easter Lily Cake.—Bake sunshine cake in layer tins not more than one inch thick when done; also bake an gel food in the same way. With a fancy pastry cutter of lily design cut the white cake into small cakes. Cut the sunshine cake in the same way, and put one of the yellow flowers on top of the white, with a white filling between. Cover the top of the sunshine layer with white icing, or if the white flower comes on top, cover the white with a yellow tinted icing. The cakes might be served separately with the lily formed from icing put on the top using white for the petals and yellow for the centers. Tomato Sauce.—Put half a can of tomatoes over the fire in a stewpan, with a '-.uarter of a minced onion, a little parsley, a bay leaf and half a teaspoonful of salt. Boil about twenty minutes. Remove from the fire and strain through a sieve. Melt in an other pan a tablespoonful of cocoanut or dairy butter and as it melts, sprin kle in a tablespoonful of flour; stir until it browns a little. Mix with the tomato pulp and it is ready for use. NOT ENJOYED BY SENATORS. Only Galleries Amused by Repartee as to Railroad Passes. There were moments of fun at the Swayne trial. Mr. Olmsted was ques tioning a witness as to what furniture or other effects Judge Swayne brought with him to Florida. Oue of his ques tions was: “Did he bring any effects other than what he had in his (pause) carpetbag?” Then he proved by a conductor that Judge Swayne was ac customed to ride on a pass over a cer tain railroad. “I do not mean to raise the question of Judge Swayne’s right to ride on a pass,” explained Mr. Olm sted as the witness was disappearing through the glass doors to the rear lobby, “but I consider it an important bit of testimony when the government ** asked to pay the transportation.” “I should hardly expect the gentleman to question that right around here,” observed ex-Senator Thurston quiet ly, but the laughter that ensued was confined to the galleries. A self-made man is seldom capable of loving more than once. >'v'\ ' 'STEPS TO PREVENT PANICS. Elaborate Precautions Taken by Lead ing Financiers. The absence from Wail street of half a dozen prominent financiers, with the announcement that several others intend to depart soon on ex tended trips, has excited interest in the discussion respecting the power of very rich operators in the market and arrangements by them to protect their interests while away. Fifteen years ago the market became nervous whenever a powerful operator went away or took sick and often broke violently on rumors of his death. That has all changed now owing to the elab orate arrangements made by most rich men to protect their holdings v/hen they die and prevent hasty sell ing by trustees or executors. Most Wall street men nowadays make it conditional upon joining forces with any group of operators that each mem ber should make specific provision in his will for the protection of the In terests of his associates in event of death. These agreements are binding and are always lived up to. « National League News. Stanley Robison was orce the slmrt r.top of the Northwestern University team. No one seems to he anxious to land Dick Cooley, who will he released by 1 o.ston. Charles A. Nichols will take his Car dinals to Warm Springs Instead of Houston. Texas. During the past week Pitcher Claude Elliott of the New Yorks sent iii his signed contract. Pennsylvania university has made Roger Brestiahan an offer to coach the 'Varsity baseball team in batting. The Boston Nationals will have April 19. Lexington day. all to them selves this year, the first time since the American league broke into Bos ton. Ned Hanlon, manager of the Brook lyn, has asked the other National league clubs to waive claim to CO of the r>4 players who were tm the | Brooklyn club’s roll a month ago. John T. McGraw of the New York Giants has picked up at Hot Springs what he considers a remarkable find it- Shumza Stigimoro. a young .lapa- i nese hall player, who was with the ! Cuban Giants last season. He is a remarkable outfielder, a fine batter und a skillful base runner. He v. ill 1 go on the training trip with the Giants and is likely to be put into regular service in center field. Sug irnoro is ir jiu jitsu expert, and while exhibiting his prowess the other night came near breaking the neck ■Mike Donlin. , American Lea «<e Notes. The New York club has decided not to retain Catcher Frank McManus. Jack Chesbro calls his « xpectora- I tion slant the "thumb-hall.” That j sounds much better. Pitcher Sudhoff has signed with the | Browns for the coming season. His 19<'4 salary was sliced. Matty McIntyre objects co a cut hi I been signed to twirl for the Peoria team. George Hessler, who caught for Rock Island last year, will not join the professional ranks this season, but will ^ play with American amateur clubs. Rock Island has secured by pur chase the release of pitcher Harry Hedges, of Milwaukee. Last year he was with Milwaukee and Springfield of the Thret I league, closing the sea son with the latter city. Bloomington has signed a young Davenport catcher named Frank Ott. Manager Conners will also work nut a young player from La Salle named Fitzpatrick, who' is said to he a fine infielder. He wifi be given a trial at short in place of Kruger, who may not return, owing to a salary difference. American Association Affairs. Lotieks, one of the pitching recruits that Toledo has secured is said to be a “spitball” artist. Elmer Meredith. Wfio played with - Milwaukee last year, has been turned loose by the Brew el's and will play with the Meridian team of the Cotton States league next season. Several Toledo business men have taken steps to organize a company to fake over the Toledo Base Ball club and its franchise, which is now con trolled by President Lennon, of the Sr. Pan! team. The team and franchise can he purchased for $13,000. Toledo has sold Bill Kemmer to die Manchester team, of the New England league. Montgomery, of the Southern Association. gets Brouthers and O'Hara will gT* to tfie coast. Catcher Roy Clark wifi go bark to St. Paul. Frisbie is to be set free. Central League Cnatter. Wheeling will get back Outfielder Lew Smith and Pitcher McConnell from the Pirates. Jimmy Ryan, the Evansville man ager, has traded Pit* tier Minor for j 'll TYZPT T. C4WZTJL Outfielder of the Boston National League Club. salary for next season, ami has re fused to sign a Detroit contract. Shortstop Joe Yeager, drafted from Montreal, has signed with New York. This is Joe’s second term in major league company. Pitcher Tate Cromley, drafted from Indianapolis, refuses* to sign at De- j troit's figures, and wants to be trans- j ferred to Washington. Tom Hughes of Washington will not be traded for George Winter of Poston, is the final announcement of the new owners of the Washington club. The St. Louis club is reported as having cut Catcher Jack O’Connor’s salary almost one-half. Of gourae, Jack now declares he will retire, hie gave small return for his salary last \ear, yet received it in lull. . The playing days of Jack O'Brien, former Boston substitute, are over, as the result of a troublesome big toe, which was injured in a street railroad accident the spring before he came to Poston. O’Brien has brought a suit against the railroad for damages. Western Association Facts. The club guarantee money was raised to $190 and the money on each series of games will be divided as fol lows: Forty-five per cent to the vis iting team and 55 per cent to the home team. Lawrence Kean, a young Chicago player, goes out with the Topeka team this season. Kean’s backers believe they have discovered a sec ond Lajoie in this youth and assert that he is one of the greatest natural sluggers they have ever seen. An important resolution has been adopted by the magnates, empower ing umpires to fine captains $25 and to forfeit games to opponents for the misconduct of a team on the field. Substitute umpires will hold as much authority as the members of the reg ular staff. Joseph B. Roe of Sedalia has been selected to draft the schedule lor 1905. The season will open Ar,ril ‘>l» I and close Sept. 17, the schedule being agreed upon. Both morning and afternoon games will be played on holidays, instead of double headers in the afternoons. Three-I League Tip*. The Davenport club has traded out fielder Jesse Ruby to Rock Island for catcher Frank Creek. Fred Olmstead, a younger brother of the Columbus pitcher of last year, has Catcher Bearwald of Colorado Springs. The latest candidate for umpire’s position is Morris Kinsey of Martin's Ferry. \Y. Ya., who has been recom mended by leading fans at Wheeling. The Dayton management is now i considering playing Blue at first base to fill McKinley's shoes. Blue has successfully filled every position in the Dayton team and is regarded as one of the best players in the league. Teddy Price, the Wheeling man ager, writes front his home in Okla homa that he has signed Maag, who probably will be put on second as Shortstop Wessel has been awarded to Wheeling in the controversy with Johnstown and Gloversville. Southern Sayings. Inflelder Erve Beck has signed a New Orleans contract. The Nashville club has purchased Shortstop Granville from Little Rock and signed First Baseman Elsey, late of Butte. Here is the Montgomery line-up: Infield, Mullaney, Schwartz. Lowney, Busch. Brouthers and Womble; out field, Delahanty, Molesworth, Hanni \an and O’Brien; catchers, Millerick and Manners; pitchers, Hale, Lee, Brandt and Gardner. Manager Newt Fisher of Nashville writes President Kavanaugh that he has bought Granville, shortstop for Little Rock last year. He has signed the following players to date: Reis ii.ger, catcher; Frickey, Bailey, Ad rms, Brunner, pitchers; Lally, first base; Tilt'ord, second base. Iowa League Items, The league has adopted by rna jority vote a $3b per game guarantee for all visiting teams. At the recent meeting of the league directors every club put up $200 guar- ( antee to finish the next season. Sam Guy, of Cincinnati, who tried for a place on the Evansville team last year and who failed to make 1 good, has signed with Waterloo. Burlington has signed infielder George Leopold, formerly with Deca tur and Fargo, who was kept out of the game last season owing to an in jury received by being hit with a : pitched ball. The National board decided that '' Tommy Hess, E. G. Anklam and H. Newmeyer belong to Waterloo. This 1 gives Manager Cole three first-class men and insures Waterloo a fast team for 1905. ! Straining Milk. Prof. F. W. Woll, in his book on “Dairying,” says: Milk should be strained through a fine strainer. By straining the milk in a room with fresh and pure air, a strong infection of bacteria is not only avoided, but the advantage is also gained that the milk is aired in the best manner. The animal odor °t milk as drawn from the udder, which is so unpleasant to many, will not disappear t,o any appreciable ex tent if the straining takes place in the stable where the air is foul: the odor may, on the contrary, often in crease by the milk being kept there lor any length of time. In the fresh air of the milk room the animal ador would, however, largely disappear: The straining of the milk nray cause germs of infection to be spread in the milk instead of removing them from the same, that is if the strainer j cloth is not changed often enough, or j if the- wire strainer is not frequently cleaned. In s-ich cases" it will easily happea that rfae finest du^t-like im purities remaining on the strainer are pressed downward by the milk run ning through a ad that the bacteria found the larger impurities are washed off. Actual trials have con vinced nse that this may happen and largely contribute’ to the infection of the milk. I spread some coarse soil strongly 'impregnated with bacteria ort a fine strainer cloth and poured newly-separated milk containing only a small n unber of bacteria over the same. The bacteria in the milk were previously studied ?tnd found to be different from the characteristic forms in the layer of soil. Alter the strain ing the milk showed an entirely dif ferent appearance under the micro scope than i>efore. ft now teemed with the same kinds of bacteria as those found in the soil. In a sample taken after the straining had con tinued for some time their number bad. however, greatly decreased, and soon the strained milk contained the same kinds of bacteria as the un strained milk, which plainly showed that the soil particles had lost their high bacteria content. By a bacterio logical analysis of the layer of soil this proved to be the case, as this now contained only a very small num ber of bacteria. The strained milk was therefore far richer in bacteria than before the straining and the keeping qualities of the milk were decreased by the straining process. We thus see that by carelessness in straining germs of infection may be scattered in the milk. The large im purities are removed from the milk in the straining, but the most danger ous components of these, the fermen tation-starters themselves, are washed into the strained milk. It is therefore very important to change the strainer cloth often during the straining; or. if a metal strainer is used, the operation should be changed occasionally by allowing steam or hot water to pass through i he strainer in the opposite direction. The more unclean the milk the more frequently the changing and cleaning process should take place. In my straining experiments it was ilso shown that the more violently the milk dropped on the strainer, the more the strained milk was mixed with fine soil-particles and cow hairs. The kind of strainer used also played •n important part in regard to the :uality of the milk strained. Milk of he highest purity was not obtained ;>v straining the milk through a good linen strainer elcth. or by applying a ine wire-gauze strainer, but by plac ng the linen cloth on the wire-gauze strainer and allowing the milk to pass through them both. By changing the lormer as often as need be, the wash ing down of bacteria from the filth remaining on the strainer will be lim ited as much as possible. Ripening Cream. What per cent of cream is the best fo get a good quality of butter? That depends a great deal on the condition you have for getting the cream at the factory, said C. F. Hostetter at a con vention. I find that a 30 or 35 per cent cream is none too heavy, especial ly in the summer; the process of rip ening is slower, consequently there is less danger of developing too much acid in the cream and it will ripen better, churn more readily and pro duce a better flavored butter. A cream containing but 20 or 25 per cent fat often brings very unsatisfac tory results; it is liable to become overripe, thus injuring the flavor of the butter. There is less danger of affecting the quality of the butter from than there is in the summer, the proc ess of ripening is slower, consequent ly there is less danger of developing too much acid in the cream. This is perhaps the most important factor in buttermaking, and the one most difficult to explain, as no method of procedure can ue recommended that will be found applicable to all condi tions. In ripening cream properly, much depends upon the experience and judgment of the buttermaker. Meth ods that may bring the best results obtainable at one time may be alto gether unsatisfactory at another; therefore an understanding of all con ditions present is necessary, before any particular system of ripening can be recommended. Here is where the best qualifications of the buttermaker are brought into requisition. A failure at this point in buttermaking can nev sr be entirely remedied; the influence af impure milk, improper cooling, etc., may be at least partially corrected; aut an error in ripening the cream is sure to manifest itself in the impaired luality of the butter produced. The ’hief factor in good butter is the fla vor. Other defects may be, to a cer ain extent, condoned or passed by, mt a bad flavor never. It <s by the aroper ripening of cream more than mything else that good flavor is ob ained; to be sure other factors exert m influence, but the flavor of butter, whether good or bad, is largely con rolled by the acidity of the cream at he time of churning. Acid, like chari y, covers a multitude of sins. There ore many of the defects resulting from impure milk, quality and kind of feed, stage of lactation, etc, can be covered up, or, in other words, neutral ized, by the system practiced in ripen ing ana the degree of acid developed. Milk Producers Meet. The dairymen and milk shippers contiguous to Chicago held a conven tion Feb. 10th for the purpose of estab lishing a permanent organization to be known as "The Milk Producers’ Insti tute,” with the object of a closely mu tual exchange of thought, to educate and instruct those interested in the economic and sanitary production of milk and for the discussion of all top ics, methods and matters relating to the business, with a view to elevate it as an industry to a higher moral, physical and financial standard. The Ho#. D. D. Hunt, of De Kalb, chair man of the convention, appointed an organization committee of twenty-five, one member from each line ef rail road and branch o?er which milk is shipped Into Chicago aud the remain der ai' large. The majority at ad dresses were by Chicago men from the Pun? Food Commission aud the Dairy Inspectors offices. The subject however, that seemed most to interest those in attendance was the question of feeding wet malt to dairy cows and many sharp, pertinent sallies, sea soned by not a little wit, was in con stant play during the discussions that followed the speeches. The milk ship pers on the Northwestern line claimed discrimination in favor of the "Q” shippers, as they are allowed to feed wet malt and the Northwestern ship pers are not. The claim was made by the department that their force was so small they couldn't cover ail the territory. Many wanted to know why the city, if it attempted to enforce the ordinance against wet malt, could not make adequate appropriations to put on sufficient men to do it right—to see that all the territory was covered and the law enforced with one as another —or not at all. Attention was called to the fact that there are ample funds available to do tlirs, in fact that less than one-third of such funds were ap plied to such inspection. The ques tion of dirty cans, the loss of cans and unfair methods of dealers in gen eral was more or less thoroughly dis cussed. It is with a view of adjust ing these* grievances that the organi zation is projected and the co-opera tion of every shipper will add just so much to the effectiveness of the work done and benefits secured directly and indirectly. The Hand Separator Problem. Some one has had the temerity to call the use of the hand separator a fad. This is not a reasonable term to apply to it, as it is a matter of util ity and nothing that has usefulness can be called a fad. Whether the work of the hand separator be well done or poorly done, whether the hand separator be well taken care of or poorly taken care of, the fact remains that a great deal of butter is being made from hand separator cream and that much cream in addition is being sent to the creameries. The effective ness of the hand separator depends cn the man that handles it. The value of a creamery that takes hand separa tor cream is dependent on the expert ness of the men that are operating it We believe it is as easy for such a group of men to get a first class arti cle of cream as it is for the men that are operating milk bottling plants tc get first class milk. In the latter case an inspector from the bottling plant makes frequent visits to the farms where the milk is produced and all things that affect the milk are looked into. We have known such an in spector to go into a clover field where the cows were pasturing and order the cows driven out of it after having been pastured there for an hour or so The farmer had a contract with the miik bottling plant and so hr.d to obey the orders of the inspector*! In most of our creameries thex-e is no arrange ment for a thorough inspection of the sources of supply of cream. The man ager has not the time nor is the duty laid on him to act as inspector. In only a few of the creameries are the contracts with the patrons of such a nature that the creamery managers would have the authority to dictate as to how the milk should be kept or the cream handled. inspection absolutely necessary if we are to -ive the hand separator problem favorably to the hand sepa rator. Every patron mat is willing to be taught and to adopt the best methods in the care of his cream should welcome sueh inspection, as it will protect the conscientious man against the carelesjness of the man that has no conscience about the way he does business. A man that has the title of inspector can do things that a creamery manager ■ or butter maker cannot do. He is expected to find fault, while the butter maker is sup posed not to have that right. The Tax on Gleo. It is said that the manufacturers of oleomargarine are determined to fight for a reduction of the tax on oleo from ten cents a pound to three or at most four cents a pound. They propose to wage the fight on the score that Congress has a right to pass revenue laws only for the raising of revenue and that a tax so high that it is prohibitive prevents this. They assert that the smaller tax would raise more revenue. It is not likely, however, that Congress will take this view of the case. Washing Cream. The practice of washing cream is not a common one, yet it is one that is not new. Cream that nas been sub jected to bad odors is sometimes highly diluted with water, which washes it out, and the regatheritog of the cream on the surface of the water leaves it much purer than before the treatment. At a few creameries w’e hear of cream being washed o: t with skimmilk, but as a usual thing the creamery that is depending on gath ered cream does not have enough jkimmilk for this purpose. There is no rigid rule that can be laid down as to the ripening of cream on account of the great variations In temperature and the richness of the cream. Good judgment on the part of the buttermaker is a part of the neces sary equipment. _ Adulteration of Coffee. A German review contains an ar ticle by Bertarelli on a new adu! * ra tion of coffee. The roasted bean.- are plunged in a five per cent solution of borax and then left to dry. The borax makes them shine and absorbs vr"r, thus adding to the weight of the < - fee.
