! Indwidual Garbage Disposal By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. We can and ought to accomplish a grea( saving of food waste in our buy- ng, our marketing, our commission house handling and particularly in our present brainless and deplorable method of shipping foodstuffs. But a considerable degrce of rejection and apparent waste will probably always accompany a liberal, varied, civili diet, such as will furnish the highest grades of both health and efficiency. Already there is a rough parallelism between garbage production and | wages, a high food waste and low death rate and high average longevity or length of life, While it scems in one sense little to be proud of to lead the world in garbage production per cdpita, yet the fact that much was thrown away shows that there was lenty to choose from and that the est was eaten, for humanity does know good food when it smells it, and that's the kind of diet that will pro- duce results in both health and work |= done. We may even take a whimsical gride in grading our social standing y such standards, as is illustrated by a story told by the health officer of one of our most prosperous and pro- gressive inland cities.. There was rather an exclusive beach colony of prosperous citizens scattered along the shore of a lake about ten miles distant, A new family built a cottage and moved in and were naturally be- ing talked over from every point of view at the little country store, Opinions differed as to their social standard and prestige, but finally the farmer who collected the kitchen waste from the colony to feed his hogs chimed in, in no uncertain tones, with: “Wal, all T kin say is thet they've got the swellest swill on the beach!” The same thing has to be borne in mind as to profit and loss in the ac- tual dilponr of garbage after it has been_thrown into the bucket or can. ‘There is no.more gold in garbage dis- posal than there is in the famous pot at the foot of the rainbow. One of our great prlcticnl difficulties is the feeling, which simply will not down in a community, that just as great pack- ing houses are said to make most of their profit out of their waste and tankage, so there ougnt to be a profit in garbage disposal if only it is prop- erl& managed. ut in the :unntri», for instance, it can be mixed with meal and given to chickens or fed directly to hogs and a certain amount of return in eggs and ‘National - Park neering structures of the You can go direct or via es visit S o " ing Clrcult Tour of Yellowstone Wind River Canyon, the You can detour from Loveland, Oolo, and at Mountain-Estes National pork got hxfk from it, have to live financial return, Indeed, when fed upon house scraps and gar bage, require an expenditure of so much time and trouble to keep their | themselves, they breed yards and run not merely inoffensive i to neighbors, but healthful to them- | selves that intelligent, up-to-date poul- to the trouble of collecting kitchen scraps urpose, | With hogs the case is still worse, for not only is it impossible to keep the pens of swill-fed and garbage-fed ihogs from being a danger and nuis- ance to the entire neighborhood, but the pens become perfect hotheds of hog-cholera and other septic diseases.

Any fool can imagine evil, of course, but it takes a really clever person to see white until black is thoroughly established. So that, when a pretty girl rushed up to me, and, heedless of the few male things about with whom I was exchanging the usual platitude about the weather, gushed breath- lessly, “You really must come and see re- turned, “I shall be delighted tn,’¥ and feft it at that, although I hadn't the faintest idea what my peomise in- volved, or what I might be letting my new pompadour.” I merel myself in for.

The pompadour, when displayed to me, was merely a frock— a gathered, hooped, flounced, ruffled, ruched and pleated frock, composed mostly of pink roses, couchant on a hogs upon garbage and make a mod- erate profit.

There is something about the very atmosphere of a pom- padour frock that does not make tor virtue, 1 know this, because when, at the rret!y girl's urgent request,' I slipped her's on for a moment (the frock, not the virtue), I felt frightfully giddy all of a sudden—no, the room didn’t go round—my morals did. It was as if the mere wearing of a frock garlanded with satin roses made one long in- stinctively to pluck Herrick's or love's blossoms. So I'm sure I don't know where we shall end if we all wear pompadour frocks. Whatever else can be said of the pres&nt fashions, they certainly do not make for that veneration and respect oyr great-grandmothers ‘are credited with being treated with by our great- grandfathers. -But then crinolines and mittens and collarbones were one thing; our brief extension of skirt, extended silk ankles and rosily-powdered necks an- other, And now on top of all this the pompadour! Ah! well, better a short skirt and a merry one than a dull affair of length and virtue. Anyway, if you do tread the primrose path, you are sure to find some roses there to match your pompadour. \ Rookies—through Wind River enter the Park world, through the Forest Bylvan .1&‘11"'1.-“' of th‘:n:ofld’l '::n‘ mPhln - masses ve 8 Ora) or ‘'more,”’ Gn Pueblo and mmmuh the Colorado Springs snd Y:‘M | 700 Miles of Mountaln Panorama, Golorado to the Yellowstone The Colorado Rockies, Long's Peak, the Laramie and Owl Creek Mountains, ss of Thermopylae, the Big Horns, Cloud Peak, the Shoshones, the Absarekas. immensely popular—Giacler, the deur of the Rockies—the challenge make on a $36 Glacier Park ticket? ver and Billings, with the free Pueblo de-trip Park, You can detour at Cody for a tour of L4 Three National Parks on a Blacler Park Tour /' Note How Burlington Thiough-Service Routes May be Combined for a Sweep- the Rockles, from Colorado to the British Boundary. _ Burlington Through Service to Cody Entrance.

There may be something worth pondering over in the suggestion that | the persistént ‘“good luck” which seems to attend some persons is due |to their having accidentally become the pets of higher beings, whose ex- istence we do not clearly recognize. However that may be, it is certain that~some of the loweér animals that we make pets of have fortune thrust upon them without any comprehen- sion on their part of the cause of the smooth-sailing life aliotted to them. On the other hand, to be a pet is often to lose freedom, so that the goodness of the luck becomes questionable after all, and this scems particularly true of birds. ’ The pet-making instinct sometimes takes odd turns, as in the case illus- trated by the accompanying pictures, An Australian which |hm& pet owly delonging to an owl-fancier in England. To most peaple an owl seems a very strange pet, and the bird certainly does not show the intelligence usually expect- led in a pet animal, But as a thing to look at, an owl {is as=curious a creature as almost any that the animal world affords. It is a bird with a “face,” and its face has an element of terror even for hu- man beings. The huge staring eyes, with the great circular disks of stiff feathers surrounding them, the big fiercely-curved beak, the fluffy feath- ers covering the whole body, which makes the bird look several times !larger than it really is, and the | make-believe “horns” which some {owls have—all of these t})inzs togeth- ler suggest that nature intended that | frightfulness should be an important | part of an owl’s outfit. |" Then, it is a night bird, and the | silence which the softness of its feath- |ery coat imparts to its flight gives it another element of terror, Its prey, consisting laggely of rats, mice and | other rodents, is unaware of its ap- proach until too late. Courage grows | with desperation, but desperation re- :fluires time to develop, and the sud- en swoop of the nois¥less owl, and the instantaneous apparition of its | terrifying countenance, allows no time { for the paralysis of fearto pass away. | The English owl-fancier from i whose living collection these photo- graphs were obtained makes much of Marbled Owl. the “bez‘ny" of his strange pets. Their feathers often are beautiful on account of their exquisite texture and sometimes they possess attractive col- ors and combinations of colors, such as dark brown, golden brown, gray and deep black, marble white and snowy white. Yet, upon the whole, the beauty of an owl resembles the quaintness of that odd-faced flower, the pansy; which seems to stare at you out of a countenance whose features were con- ceived in a spirit of mockery or bur- lesque. The owl! in captivity cannot be weaned from its love of darkness— as, indeed, could not be 'expected, in view of the structure of its eyes, which are expressly made for seeing at night, and are almost useless in daylight. Accordingly an indispensable fea- ture of the aviary in which they are kept is a dark chamber into which they can retire. Still, notwithstand- ing their natural wildness, some owls get to like being foridled and stroked, and recogfiize their owners, but they will fight furiously on occasion. Considerable difficulty has been en- countered in enabling some of the owls, such as the magnificent ‘eagle- owl, to breed in the aviary. They take cold easily in a draught, but can be fed without much trouble, provided they are furnished frequently with flesh having the fur and feathers on; p AWeeks Cruise R o ¥ - & on Chicage, Duluth & QGeorgian Bay Trans| 4 Lakes—2,200 Miles Shore Line, Islands, Rivers and Bays “North American” - Cruises Weekly from Chicago, land, Duluth or Georgian Bay X V% $ Meals and Berth ( Included D4 of Beautiful Scenery, on one of the Big, New Cruising Ships “Sout American’” d Tt Stope of several hours made nulwmmnm—mpufimwmmmu The New Ships “North American” and “South American™—Passenger Service Exclu- m.z—mmwm-mmwmwmm ‘Thesemagnificentsteams ships have many innovi fortravel, comfort and amusement-—a ball-room, an orchestra, chil- dren’s open dtw mddwkm ‘All these are free.

If this is done it will waste very little in cooking. Vinegar and salt mixed together will take away stains on china glass, flower vases and water bottles. To keep butter fresh, place in alean i pots and surround with charcoal. Tumblers, fruit dishes, lamp chim- neys, globes, and other similar articles can be mended when broken with the following preparation: Take five parts of gelatine to one part of a solu- tion of bichromate of potash. Cover the broken edges with this, and press together, then place in direct sunlight The mended article will not come apart even if washed in hoiling water nor will the breaks show. o 0 Don't throw away apple parings.

To clean a black dress take a dozen ivy leaves and stepp them in boiling water. 'Leave till cold, then rub well over the stained parts. This liquid will remove all stains and make the cloth look quite fresh. Don’t throw bones that have been boiled for soup into the dustbin. Put them at tfe back of the fire, bank up with wellflamped small coal, and they will burn for hours. A little camphor rubbed on a mire ror after the dust has been wiped off will brighten it wonderfully. The lamb chops should be cut to the desired thickness, trimmed neatly, removing all unnecessary fat, season- ed with a little salt and pepper, and broiled, turning them every three minutes, allowing eight minutes for chops cut one inch thick. The distinctive touch of this dish is its Bernaise sauce. Once one serves this with lamb chops it will be found an indispensable adjunct to the chops thereafter.
