Garbage and Civilization By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. Garbage is a mark and a product of civilization. Savages have no gar bage disposal problem, for the sim ple reason that they don't produce sny. They leave nothing on their plates but the bones and the hair. And there are those who are unkind enough to intimate that certain tastes which sre still found in civilized com munities, such as for tripe, for liver, for hsggis and blood sausage, are survivals from , the good old days when every man was his own walk ing garbsge-destroyer. However this may be, there is no question that a very considerable share of the stsple food of savsge snd barbarous races would be thrown into the garbage can by civilized man with promptness and disgust. But those gloriously simple and short lived snd sickly days sre past be yond recall, and the more prosperous end civilized a community the more garbage it produces. Curious and Incredible as it may sound, it Is a fact that an American community or city of, say, $,000 souls, produces from three to five times ss much garbage as a European town of the same size. And this is actually one of the reasons why the problem of garbage disposal is so difficult snd imperfectly met in the west. At first sight this looks like sheer iiii!iiiii!iiiiiiiiinnnK waste and extravagance, and to a cer tain extent it is, but there is snother aspect to the situation. And that is that if a piece of food is coarse snd indigestible, or of questionable fresh ness and soundness, still more, if it shows any sign of taint or spoiling or decay, then a garbage can is a far more, economic and profitable place for it than a human stomach. It is well to bear this in mind, be cause one of the first things frequent ly urged by those who are struggling to solve the garbage problem is that there should be greater economy, a more careful and thrifty utilization of remnants and left-overs in the Amer ican kitchen, so as to diminish the enormous bulk of kitchen waste which has to be dealt with. 1 Undoubtedly some improvement could be obtained in this regard with out endangering the great American stomach, but the more carefully we study the actual evolution and pedi- Household Suggestions When washing dusters after using them to polish furniture add just a little ammonia to the, water in which they are put to soak.

We're "from Missouri" whenever they are set before us, and they've got to prove a perfect and incon testible pedigree as to freshness of their mixed ancestry or else pass a board of health test for ptomaines and bacteria. Economy is excellent in its place, but that is in buying rather than in cooking. No small share of the in creased modern cost of living is due to the higher standards of purity, quality and soundness which we in sist upon in our food. In the same way the con scientious maintenance of a high (and in the long run, profitable) standard of absolute cleanliness and healthful ness for everything cooked in and served from our kitchens will inevita bly result in a considerable apparent waste of tainted or doubtful food ma terial and scraps. "When in doubt play the garbage can" should be the whist rule of the cooking game. And it is far safer to impose unprofitable labor on the street cleaning department than upon our own digestion.

(Tuesday Strawberry Sponge.) , School for Manners is Badly Needed BY DOROTHY DIX. It is announced that the New Yrk university is going to establish a school of mimiers and that the de gree of M. K.inagister clegantiar lum msy be conferred on such stu dents as perfect themselves in the ctiquet of polite society. This news sounds almost too good to be true. Let us hope, however, that such a course of study is really to be established in one of our great schools, and that it will be compul sory, tor nothing is more saij needed. For whatever other charms and virtues the American youth may pos sess, good manners arc seldom among them. As a child he is al most invariably a little savage. As a hobbledehoy he is generally a hoodlum, snd ss a grown man he is only too often sn awkward blunderer, who is like a bull in the social china shop. , . On every side we encounter multi tudes of men who have intelligence, force, power, men who have achieved success in their own particular call ing, but who are as ignorant as babes of any of the graces of human in tercourse. They cannot enter or leave a room without falling over their own feet. They do not know what to say when , presented to a stranger, or how either to pay or receive a compliment. At dinner parties you may see , them hopelessly floundering around among the silverware. At restaurants you may observe them with their legs twined like snakes sround their chsir legs, grssping their forks as if they were sbout to harjioon an at tacking whale, and, alas, you may even pass sway an evening listening to them eat their soup. Of course, we excuse such men by ssying that they hsve been too busy with big affairs to give their atten tion to such small matters as the proper use of a fork or a spoon. We say that it's more important that a man's heart should be of gold than that he should wear the right sort of coat for the occasion, and we try to gloss over his boorishness by calling him a rough diamond. i AH of which Is sheer nonsense.i No body will contend that a rough dia mond is as valuable as one that is cut and polished, and the truth is that while a man may succeed with out good manners, he would succeed better with them. To know how to do things, to possess what the French call savoir fairs, is always a help, never a handicap in life. People have always appreciated this fact so far as women were con cerned. In all girls' schools special attention is paid to deportment, and girls are taught the niceties of eti quet that they perhaps do not have an opportunity to learn in their own K homes. More than that, at home stress is laid on little girls behaving like la dies, and wherever you go the small daughter of the house will receive you charmingly, drop her little courtesy snd endeavor to engage you in con versation. But apparently the mothers of the same families make no effort to in still politeness into their boys, and the lads will storm into the room with their caps on. They will never stop to spesk to the visitors, and only grunt by way of reply when ad-v dreised. And when these boys are sent off to school no effort stems to be made to supplement their lack of home training in manners. They are grounded in all the arts and sciences except the, most important art and science of all, which is thst of mak ing oneself agreeable to one's fellow creatures. For, when all is said and done, good manners will carry one fur ther than anything else in the world. They are a letter of credit one of us honors at sight. The clown may com pel our grudging respect, but we pre sent our hearts as a free gift to the courtier. A young man may be of the most sterling worth, and yet wear a decol lete collar that exposes his Adam's apple and a coat and trousers and waistcoat of different makes and col ors so that he lboks like an animated patchwork quilt, but if he and another youth who knew how to dress applied for the same job the good clothes would get it. A man might be a genius and yet eat peas with his knife, but he would have a hard time getting close enough to those who might help him to get a chance to show what he could do. A man may have almost super human ability in any line, but if he is rude and crude in his manners, if he does not know how to please, he lives and dies neglected. On the other hand, the man who has what we call a charming person ality, who is gracious in speech and polite in manners, finds a helping hand always at his elbow and a friendly shoulder ready to boost him up the ladder. That is why it is so important to teach boys good manners and why the opening of such a department in the New York university is epoch- making. .In-Shoots The woman who brags of her hus band's talents is usually considered soft. It is better to be decent, even at the risk of being called old-fashioned. Those who marry to get a home usually find that it is not worth the price. It is better to go through life sec onding the motion than never be heard from at all. Brutes who beat women always turn out to be blubbering cowsrds when facing real danger. When steered to a lobster palace the indifferent girl is just as spt to have a good appetite as the gusher. The political reform crowd is often like a drove of sheep. It does not take much to send it simpering in another direction. The individual who Imagine that the devil is acting as his attorney without a fee will find eat his mis take sooner or later. .
