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.

'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.

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. The way to discover this ingeni
ous fraud is to dry the coffee and if
It loses over 4 per cent in v <■ vtr
there has been a fraudulent ab i
tion of water.—London Globe.
