Your Health,
The First Concern.
DISEASE SPREAD BY PETS.
It has been pretty generally under-
stood for some time that domestic
pets have the facility of imparting the
germs of several diseases to those
humans who come in intimate contact
with them. Instances have been
known where tuberculosis, mange,
ringworm and some other diseases
have been spread by household pets
and now pyorrhea has been added to
the list. Some persons foolishly al-
low dogs and cats to “kiss” them and
the habit is a dangrous one. Even
when uninvited to be so intimate dogs
have a habit of licking the flesh of
their owners whenever the chance of-
fers and in so doing are liable to pass
along the germs of pyorrhea.
Well cured, well cooked ham is one
of the tastiest of all meats. Be-
cause of the piquancy of its flavor
it is particularly stimulating to the
taste nerves and as the gastric juices
flow freely when ham is eaten,
digestion of all other foods which ac-
company the ham is helped.
Ham assists, for instance, in the
digestion of vegetables and carbohy-
drates (sugar and starch) and so
goes well with them. Many people
who do not care for meat in general
will eat ham, considering it “lighter”
than other meats—that is, more read-
ily assimilated. By other people the
opinion has been expressed that ham
is indigestible. :
The facts are that ham is more
completely assimilated than many
other meats; it digests somewhat
more slowly than some other foods,
but could not in any sense be called
indigestible. It contains relatively
little of the connective tissues which
are hard for the digestive organs to
take care of. : :
Lean boiled ham is even readily di-
gested and assimilated in the intes-
tines, so that it leaves little of the
food to decay or be acted upon by
bacteria. Ham for this reason 1s
excellent food for those who suffer
from accumulation of gas In the
stomach or intestines, and is recom-
ended as part of a diet for them.
The remnant of a cured ham, either
cooked or uncooked, can always
¢used up” in some combination dish;
it can be used to the last scrap.
There will be no danger of its spoil-
ing if it is properly looked after even
in midsummer.
Some of the uses to which the tag
ends of a boiled ham, way be pit
are very interesting. over y
for ie may be diced and added
to soup or salad—giving a magic
touch. Or it may be diced and
stirred into scrambled eggs, or it can
be sprinkled upon an omelet before it
is folded. Or it may be ground and
mixed with mustard or chopped pick-
le and spread on hot toast for a
luncheon dish.
Almost any meat dish made of
ground meat is improved by adding
ham. Many vegetables, especially
cabbage and string beans, and also
otatoes, are greatly helped in flavor
y being boiled with a piece of ham.
Stews and meat pies gain a great
deal from ham. Hash which includes
corned bzef and ham is particularly
good. :
Perhaps no other meat dish offers
more possibilities of combination with
other foods than ham. This factis a
reason, no doubt, for its popularity.
A delicious way to bake a smoked
ham is, after soaking it several hours
in cold water, to put it on the stove
in cold water and allow it to cook
until it is tender. When it is partial-
ly cooked it may be removed from
the water, the outer skin peeled
away, and a sprinkling of sugar and
cracker crumbs added. Cloves may
be stuck into it, about half an inch
apart. Then it is ready to be baked
for about an hour in a low oven.
A meal of which ham forms the ba-
sis may be balanced with some cooked
vegetables, as creamed carrots and
baked potatoes, a green, leafy vege-
table and celery. Apple sauce is a
conventional accompaniment to pork
and is always good. A light dessert
should end the meal. Eggs, oysters,
clams or other protein food should
be avoided, since the ham supplies
sufficient of this element.
Pork and ham are rich in vitamins
and mineral matter. Iron is one of
its most important contributions.
As is pretty well known, ham may
be infected by a worm called trich-
ina spiralis, if the meat has not been
carefully chosen, handled and protect-
ed. Hence it is vastly important that
no ham should ever be eaten from un-
known sources. Constant vigilance
is necessary on the part of inspect-
ors to eliminate the danger of this
worm.
Fortunately there are packers pre-
paring ham for the market who can
be relied on to take all the necessary
precautions and to present a safe and
wholesome product. Ham from such
sources may be enjoyed to the full.
Such sources should be sought by all
who value their health.
Washington.—Oyster lovers will re-
joice to learn that their favorite sea
food in the future must have a clean
bill of health. To combat the possi-
bility of more shellfish-borne typhoid
outbreaks the United States public
health service has decreed that health
authorities of the various States will
have to investigate shellfish produc-
ing concerns within their jurisdiction
and issue certificates to those whose
oysters are above suspicion. Every
effort will be made te keep oysters
-—
from uncertified shippers off the
market.
The federal health service will co-
operate with the state agencies in de-
ciding upon the minimum require-
ment for approval. The success of
the plan as outlined at present will
depend quite largely on ability of lo-
cal health officials to keep their com-
munities protected by shippers’ cer-
tificates.
The practice of taking oysters from
contaminated areas and attempting
to make them safe by placing them
in chlorinated water in storage tanks, |
a method that has come into recent
popularity with some oyster produc-
ers, is not yet regarded as a safe
procedure in the estimation of the
United States public health officials.
“Women Have Changed,” Says Wom-
an Editor.
Miss Gertrude B. Lane, editor of
the Woman’s Home Companion, is
said to be the highest paid business
woman in the world. No definite fig-
ure is given for her remuneration as
the head of one of the greatest period-
ical enterprises in the country, but it
is known that she receives a higher
salary than the President of the Unit-
ed States, and she also owns a large
share in the $25,000,000 company.
which publishes this magazine and
four others, of national note and
enormous circulation. .
Miss Lane, in an address of editors
and publishers a few days ago, an-
swered the oft-repeated question:
Have women changed? She said:
“Of course they have changed,—-
in their attitude of mind, in their
habits of life, in their participation
in affairs. They have changed so
amazingly and dramatically that the
past decade has become one of im-
portance to everyone whose business
involves women in any way.
“As regards the home, they are
organizing its business. The day of
the amateur home-maker is passing.
“Whether woman’s rapid rate of
progress will continue for another
decade no one can say. But it be-
hooves all of us who are engaged in
shaping her opinions to watch her.
One thing is certain—she is no long-
or the static creature we once thought
er.
According to Miss Lane, 41 per
cent of the checking accounts in the
United States are in the names of
women, or are held by women jointly
with men. Among other interesting
figures cited by her are the follow-
ing: ‘
There are 14,000,000 bobbed heads
in America today, and 3,500 tons of
hair have been shorn from the heads
of American women.
Beauty shops collect $400,000,000 a
year from 60,000,000 customers, and
they employ 70,000 people.
American women spend $1,825,000,-
000 a year for beauty, which has be-
come a major industry.
Salaries paid to women have in-
creased enormously in the past dec-
ade. There are hundreds of business
concerns today, such as department
stores, insurance compaines, banking
houses, magazines and newspapers,
where $10, salaries for women are
nothing unusual.
Neither editors nor advertisers any
longer “talk down” to women. There
are 13,000,000 homes in this country,
and in most of them the major part
of the expenditure is in the hands of
the women of the household.
The Coming Primary.
With approximately three months
between now and the date for the
spring primary election,
April 24, and the first day for secur-
ing signatures to petitions for nom-
inations to be filed with the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, Wednesday,
January 25th, there is a lot of time |
remaining for the setting up of po-
litical fences.
The coming primary is a very im-
portant one. There are to be nomi
nated presidential electors, a State
Treasurer, Auditor General, Repre-
sentatives in Congress from all dis-
tricts, representatives in the Legisla-
ture from all districts, one Judge of
the Superior Court, County Commit-
teemen and State Committeemen, not
to mention at least one United States
Senator, and perhaps two, in case
the Vare dispute is decided as antici-
pated in time for that office to figure
in the primaries.
The long list of proposed amend-
ments to the State Constitution will
not figure in the primary election, but
they are apt to loom up with highly
important angles in the general elec-
tion, with various groups interested
in the various loans and other sub-
jecs to be passed upon, contending
vigorously for their pet projects and
a general tendency to slash into a
general increase of indebtedness
which would be felt subsequently in
increased taxation.—Huntingdon Mon-
itor.
A Wood-lot That Has Paid for Itself.
When Clayton Dunham, of Eagles
Mere in Sullivan county, bought
about two hundred acres of young
timber 15 years ago, he started the
practice of removing dead timber. To
date, from the sale of wood, he has
received more than the original pur-
chase price.
Finding that the growth of timber
was exceeding the amount cut, a
short time ago he decided to invest
in a sawmill. The mill is now set
up ready to operate with a 30-horse-
power electric motor. Dunham will
first cut all the poor trees from the
area, a recommended practice, and
then will cut only an amount equal to
the annual growth, or from 40,000
to 50,000 board feet each year.
—At the close of a lecture, Dr.
James Moffat, translator of the Bible,
who at present is in this country re-
sponding to the persistent applause by
a brief bit of characteristic humor.
The difference between a young min-
ister and an old one, he remarked, is
that the young man wonders why peo-
ple do not come out to hear him: the
old preacher, why they do. “In this
sense,” said Dr, Moffat, “I am a very
old preacher.”

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
That action is best which procures the
greatest happiness for the greatest num-
ber.—Hutchinson.
The approaching seassn is to be
white.
{The report comes not from the
Alps, where society is playing at
winter sports, but from the south—
the French and Italian Rivieras—
where other members of society are
sunning themselves and getting their
first inkling of what the spring styles
will be.
Cream white soft woolens are the
conspicuous early: success of the Ri-
viera. Cream-and-brown is as stan-
dardized for the new styles as black-
and white was last summer.
Many important creators of fash-
ion are showing southern models of
cream color, made in two and three-
piece sport costumes. . With brown
leather belts, brown hats, brown
gloves and brown shoes they make
striking ensembles.
It is still too early to know what
lhe chosen color will be for silk
things. Many indications point to
pink, for much pink, particularly
pink satin, is seen. Pink kashas,
djersakashas and muslikashas are al-
so favorites.
For the young girls pink kasha
skirts cut slightly circular, or as the
French say, “en forme,” are very well
liked as accompaniment to the pink
sweater with wvari-colored pastel
bands or polka dots woven into it.
The same scheme is carried out in a
large, draped scarf of chiffon with
colors introduced in large dots, small
plaids or basque checks.
There are evidences that colored
straw hats will replace colored felts
in the South. This is translated in
Paris as meaning that next summer
will see a large revival of straw hats.
Predictions from Paris announce
that soon pierced ears will be as com-
mon as they were 50 years ago.
French beauty specialists are finding
each day an increasing number of
clients asking to have their ears bored
for earrings so that they may wear
with safety the elaborate and rather
heavy ornaments that are now fash-
ionable, says the New York Times.
With the passing of such incon-
venient feminine fashions as wasp
waists, crinolines, hobble skirts, chok-
ers and false hair one might suppose
that the modern woman had given up
all other styles which interfered with
her comfort. But apparently she is
finding the discomfort of pierced ears
less than her fear of losing some
cherished jewel.
One jeweler has estimated that an
earring of the screw type is kept by
its owner a scant six months. This
is good business for jewelers, but
makes ear-screws a great extrava-
gance. If some one would only in-
augurate a fashion for wearing mate-
less earrings as pendants, brooches
and bangles for bracelets, or set the
dashing stvle of wearing a lone orn-
ament _.ssack fashion, many fair
ears might be saved from the bar-
barous needle. ; ae
Study your type and learn to de-
velop the personality that becomes
you, is the suggestion for a New
Year’s resolution for women which
is given by Eileen Bourne, beauty ex-
pert, in Liberty.
“If your hands ave lovely,” explains
Miss Bourne, “learn to use them well
in gesture and pose. If your feet
are large wear well fitted plain shoes.
‘Spend time trying which coiffure is
‘really best for you.
“The fun of it is that when once
| you become conscious of all these lit-
tle ways to improve your charms, you
receive hints from every quarter, and
‘at all times,” explains the writer.
“One day it will dawn on you that
i to keep the feet close together effects
| the best standing posture. The next
you'll discover which shade of lip
stick is the most becoming and natur-
al. Suddenly you’ll find that with lit-
| tle care you can produce a lovely
i speaking tone, and then you’ll never
i be satisfied with sloppy speech and
; nasal voice production.
“Stop, Look, Listen! Let 1928
mark a great gain in the individual-
ity of the American woman.”
Is daughter a bit slow about learn-
her A, B, C’s? Then by all means,
make her a smart little dress from
the mew radium silk with a blue
ground on which all the letters
of the alphabet are scattered in gay
profusion. She will find it most be-
coming and certainly a great help in
acquiring an education.
Worth is making his winter sports
costumes in delicate shades of angora
and other soft woolens. Fox is
dyed to match the pale blues, greens,
pinks and yellows.
A lavender tweed daytime frock is
a wrap-around coat dress with three
huge bone buttons fastening its diag-
onai closing.
Face veils must match their hats,
says Paris. A green turban adds un-
usual charm to a face covered by a
dotted green viel.
Paris is now using the wrong side
of transparent velvet for diversity.
An absinthe green gown, has its side
drapes reversed.
CORN PUDDING.
One can corn, one cupful evapor-
ated milk, four tablespoonfuls flour,
one-half teaspoonful salt, one-eighth
teaspoonful white pepper, two tea-
spoonfuls baking powder, two eggs.
Chop the corn; add the milk and
mix well. Sift flour, salt, pepper and
baking powder together and add to
the corn mixture; add the egg yolks,
which have been beaten until thick;
then cut and fold in the stiffly beaten
egg whites. Put in a buttered baking
dish and bake from 80 to 45 minutes
in a medium oven. Serve as a vege-
table dinner.
—Blobbs: Don’t be discouraged, my
boy. All things come to those who
wait.
Slobbs: Yes, but by that time they
are pretty well shop-worn.—Philadel-
phia Record.
