In the spring it is expected they will 
be suppressed by the birds, as when 
they previously asserted themselves. 
Important Suggestions. 
Insects play a large part as me- 
chanical carriers of desease and none 
is worse than the common house fly, 
yet it is allowed to infest meat ex- 
posed for sale, bread and sweetmeats, 
berries, the edge of the milk pail and 
the food on the kitchen table. 
The keynote of cleanliness is espe- 
cially sounded with respect to keep- 
ing pet animals in the kitchen. The 
fur of the cleanest of them must 
come in contact with many things 
which we would not care to have 
touch our food. 
This information is imparted in a 
bulletin issued by the department of 
agriculture, prepared under the 
supervision of the office of experi- 
ment stations. It is entitled, ‘‘Care 
of Food in the Home,’’ and is: for 
free distribution. Its author, Mrs. 
Mary Hinman Abel, has advanced 
new ideas and called attention’ to 
many simple house methods that 
makes for cleanliness and. whole- 
someness of foods in the home. 
One of the most important sugges- 
tions is that in regard to ptomaine 
poisoning. On this subject the au- 
thor says: 
‘‘Hood may become dangerous 
oS 
even before it shows outward signs 
of decomposition and the danger 
hardly be recognized without labora- 
tory apparatus. It is no uncommon 
thing to hear that a large number of 
persons attending a banquet were 
taken violently ill within a few 
hours. These cases of wholesale poi- 
soning generally occur in summer 
after a heated term. It is a safe rule 
to eat sparingly of foods lable to 
changes in dog days, and where the 
serving of a large number at one 
time brings a strain on the culinary 
forces, when material is certain’ 'to 
be served which has been prepared 
a considerable time in advancee.’’ 
Mrs. Abel thinks ordinary kitchen 
methods fall short of today’s require- 
ments, especially with respect to san- 
itary science. The old fashioned. ha- 
tred for dirt is not enough. This ap- 
plies especially with respect. to the 
cleaning of kitchen utensils. For in- 
stance, boiling has long been known 
to kill whatever was the cause of 
‘‘spoiling’’ food. However, most 
housekeepers did not ‘‘boil out’’ the 
milk cans, ete., but simply scalded 
them.
