"Every place where food is kept
should have constant carts, The refrig-
erator must be kept absolutely clean;
all movable parts should be taken out
of It and thoroughly washed once a
week. At that time the pipes and
drains should be cleaned, racks thor-

Too much emphasis cannot be, placed
on the importance of special care for
all dishes and cooking utensils sent
to the kitchen from the sick room,.
They should be scalded before drying.
At the termination of the illness, such
dishes, should be-boiled briskly for ten
minutes before being returned for gen-
eral use. - - - •
The same set of dishes for the pa-
tient should be used every day and
kept in a'place-separate from the fam-
ily dishes. If no safe place can be
found, -they -should -be -kept- in -the -pa-
tient's room covered with a clean
napkin until needed. .
Attention should also be paid to the
hands of the person cooking. They
should be washed always before han-
dling food. After using the handker-
chief or coming in direct contact with
the nose or mouth, wash the hands be-
fore touching the food.
Care should be taken not to cough
or sneeze in the neighborhood of food?
especially food to be eaten raw, and if
the person cooking has a bad cold she
should take'particular care to keep her
hands clean. _
Food for the Bick should,always be

the question which has "been so in-
sistently asked In the caption -above.

time to time just what is being accom-

With food. The sight of too much food
frequently takes away the appetite.
It is safer to err on the side of serv-
ing too little than too much.
Pood left on the patient's tray should
be burned; it should not be eaten by
anyone else, or placed in the pantry
or refrigerator, with other food.
Keep the kitchen clean, keep the
food clean and lessen the danger of in-
fection from that point. v „
Famous Old London Building,
The appointment of lieutenant of
the Tower of London carries with It
the tenure of the lieutenant's house,
which boasts of historical associations,
if ever any house did. It was built in
the reign of Henry VIII, and was used
as a prison for More, Surrey, Essex,
Coke, Jeremy Taeylor, William Penn
and Algernon Sydney. There are two
other small houses provided for the
lieutenant's servants, aM - in these
Lady Jane Grey was held captive-and
Sir Walter Balelgh wrote his "Histpry
of the World." In those "good old
days" the fees charged the prisoners
added quite materially to the lieuten*
ant's salary.

Le Harve.—A'Belgian colonel, just
from the front, speaking of a canteen
for which the American Red Cross pro-
vided quarters on very, short notice,
said: "One live demonstration like this
is better than a year of talk." He
.also^stated in a report: "It is wonder-
ful to see bow responsive the Belgians
are to everything American."
The department of civil affairs of
the American Red Cross undertook to
establish or maintain 14 institutions in
the war zone of Italy, which provided
food, clothing and care for 3,477 chil«
dren.

MADE BY AN
-ARTIST IN FURS
Mrs.
the delight of our war correspondents
over tno'fact that the "American lan-
guage" is coming into its own over-
Seas through the American soldier.
"American as site is spoke" by the
American soldier is Vivid, picturesque:
and slangy. And American slang is
conceded to be just about the best
slang there- isr- J - *
Now, nobody objects to slang as
slang, provided it is interpolated In
good American language. But it is a
sad truth that most- educated foreigners shame us in the use of our own
tongue. We are downright slovenly in talking. We clip and slur and mumble
our words, even when we are grammatically correct. And people who know
better habitually Use slang as if it Were the/only vocabulary they had.
The fastidious ear Is shocked every hour of the day. The college girl
says^ "My bean feels bum;". The ishauglrl speaks-of -hci^ '-'gemvlmun-fr-en."--
The citizen discourses concerning the "govurmunt uv Merea." The young
fellow says "gonna", and "betcha" arid "riuthln' a-tall." Well-dressed women
use "I hadn't ought tub." And as to articulation and other niceties of speak-
ing, comparatively few Americans pay any attention whatever to them.
That is why there is a campaign on for better American speech which has
already attained nation-wide proportions. We Americans believe that if Eng-
lish is to be the world language it will be American English rather than Eng-
lish Esglish—an American evolution of English. So the campaigners for
better American speech •t-hink it is high lime' for. us. to._begin to break up the
habits of mongrel speech into which we have fallen, largely because slang has
seemed to us more effective than English pure and undefiled.

^IAL trees-along^the Lincolff highway Ts the unique hienmTlaTTo^riuF"
soldier and sailor dead proposed by the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, which has charge of the roadside planting of the famous transconti-
nental highway. The Lincoln highway,
a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, runs
from coast to coast, starting at New
York city and ending at Sjin Fran-
cisco and passing through 12 states.
It is already in operation. the whole
distance and is being transformed as
fast as conditions will permit into a
concrete automobile highway. Mrs.
John Dickinson Sherman, chairman of
the conservation department of the
general federation, is' at the head of
the roadside planting; Mrs; W. L.

Another Triumph of American lEwenfiwte Senilis

the closing weeks of the war Without the knowledge of the Germans. This
important military secret has been

known to hundreds of loyal Americans
for several months but has been jeal-
ously guarded. By means of this"radio
telephone It was possible for a ground
observer to talk to pilots in the air
miles away. Commanders of air
squadrons could voice warnings to all
their pilots as to the movements of
enemy aircraft, and squadron forma-
tions of all sorts could be maintained
in the air as easily as infantry units
on .the ground-— —„ T
"There "iire some details concerning it which we cannot discuss yet," says
John D. Byan, director of aircraft production. "I have myself, staildlng on
the ground, given orders to a squadron flying in the air and watched thein
maneuver according to instructions. The transmission of the voice is clear
enough to be heard distinctly over the noise of the airplane motor."
This is all very interesting, especially as it sets the imagination to work
applying the invention to the everyday needs of life in times of peace.
Why should not the farmer's wife step to the door and tell her husband
at the other end of the 640 that dinner is ready—provided she has a husband
