Care of Food in the House
Food needs care in cold weather asl
■well as when the mercury hovers]
around the torrid mark. Impure air isj
contaminating anil dust contains all
manner of dangers, impurities are
carried from one food that has lost its
freshness to another and decay starts
and makes headway in a wonderfully
short time.
The truth about right housekeeping!
is that prevention is far better thanj
cure. Pure air, sunshine, dryness and
quick removal of all questionable arti-,
cles are the chief essentials to whole-1
some conditions in every part of the;
% house, particularly in the food storage
place*. This is so because bacteria and
mold thrive in darkness and dampness
and because they cannot live in sun
shine and fresh air.
Some foods have a finer flavor when
they have aged for a tiiue. Jleat is
sometimes allowed to until a
"gamey" taste is apparent, cheese is
l<ept until certain ferments give it ai
desired oflor and character, but it is!
hard to tell when the line between!
harmless ripening and hurtful decay is
pased and sometimes food becomes dan-i
gerous before any outward signs are to
be seen. Ptomaines are substances that j
are given off by harmful decomposition!
and case after case of food poisoning)
is traced to stale, badly cared for food, i
2Vo one knows how these poisons arej
developed but we all know how serious i
a thing ptomaine poisoning is. The!
greatest caution should be observed in!
WHITE; WOULD WED NEGRO I
Girl and Father Vexed When Register
Refuses License
Pottsville, Pa., Feb. 3.—liegister H.
H. Seltzer stood aghast at his desk yes
terday morning when Mabel Weinrich,
a white girl, aged 21, approached him
and asked for a license to marry
"Bill" Hill, a negro, aged 35, who ac
companied her. The father of the girl
was also present and said he approved
of the marriage. Register Seltzer re
fused to issue the license, and the cou- \
pie secured the assistance of several |
lawyers, who visited Register Seltzer,
but did not succeed in swerving him. |
The father of the girl lives at Tre- j
mont, in the west end of the county, j
and expressed his indignation in loiid 1
words that he had lost a day's work.!
Public sentiment sustains' Register i
Seltzer. One of the county Judges who j
was consulted about tying the knot ex-1
pressed his opinion that a recent United |
States statute prohibits such marriages.

(CONTINUED.)
"He remembers a niece he never saw,
and his own sister"- And Mrs. Chi
chester once more burst Into tears.
"It beats cooktightiug: that's all I
enn soy." cried Alarle. "It simply beats
cocktightlng."
Mr. Hawkes went on reading: "'lf
Ht the expiration of one year my niece j
1r found to be. in the judgment of my
executors, unworthy of further inter- j
est she Is to be returned to her father
and the sum of £250 a year paid her j
to provide her with the necessaries of

herself worthy of the best traditions
of the Ivlugsnorth family the course

reaches the age of twenty-one. when
I hereby bequeath to her the sura of
£5,000 a year, to be paid her annually !
out of my estate during her lifetime I
and to be continued after her death to
any male Issue she may have—by mar- j

Mr. Hawkes stopped and once again
looked at the strange family. Mrs. j
Chichester was sobbing. "And me—his
own sister"—
Alaric was moving restlessly about J
"Beats anything I've heard of—posi- j
tively anything."
Ethel was looking Intently at Pet's
coat.
Hawkes continued: '"On no account j

be continued after the first year she
must not on any account visit her j

father. After she reaches the age of j
twenty-one she can do as she pleases.' " |
Mr. Hawkes folded up the will with 1
the air of a man who had finished an j
Important duty.
Alaric burst out with:
"I don't see how that clause interests !
lis in the least. Mr. Hawkes."
The lawyer removed his pinee nez
and. looking steadily at Mrs. Chiches- j
ter. sa id: j
"Now. my dear Mrs. Chichester. It
was Mr. Klngsiiorth's wish that the
ttrst lady to be approached on the mat
ter of undertaking the training of the i
young lady should be—you."
Mrs. Chichester rose in astonish- J
luent. "I V"
Alaric arose iu anger. "My mother?" i
Ethel quietly pulled Pet's ear and j
waited.
Mr. Hawkes went on quietly:
"Mr. Klngsnorth said lie would be j
sure at least of his niece having a strict !
upbringing iu the best traditions of
the Kingsnorths and that, though his
lister Monica was somewhat narrow
and conventional in Ideas—l use his
own words—still he felt sure she was
eminently btted to undertake such a
charge. There—you have the whole
object of my visit. Now, will you un
dertake the training of the young
lady?"
"I never heard of such a thing!"
cried Mrs. Chichester furiously.
"Ridiculous:" said Ethel calmly.
"Tush and nonsense!" with which
Alaric dismissed the whole matter.
"Then I may take it you refuse?"
queried the astonished lawyer.
"Absolutely!" from Mrs. Chichester.
"Entirely!" from Ethel.
"I should say so!" and Alaric brought
up the rear.
Mr. Hawkes gathered up his papers
and In a tone of regret ventured: "Then
there is nothing more to be said. I
was only carrying out the dead mac's
wishes by coining here and making the
facts known to you. Mr. Klngsnorth
was of the opinion that you were well
provided for and that, outside of the
sentimental reason that the girl was
your own niece, the additional thou
sand pounds a year might be welcome
as. say. pin money for your daughter."
Ethel laughed her dry. cheerless lit
tle laugh. "Ha! Pin money!"
Alaric grew suddenly grave and
drew his mother and sister out of Mr.
Hawkes' vicinity.
"Listen, mater. Ethel. It's a cool
thousand, you know! Thousands don't
grow on raspberry hushes when your
bank's gone up. What do ye think,
•hr
Mrs. Chichester brightened.
"It would keep things together," she
said.
"The wolf from the door." urged
Alnrie.
"No charity." chimed In Ethel.
CHAPTER XVI.
"I'd be happier with me father. 1 *
OMETHINO may be snved from
the wreck," reasoned Mrs.
i. I Chichester more hopefully.
"Until I get really started,"
said Alaric with a sense of climax.
Mrs. Chichester turned to her daugh
ter. "Ethel V"
"Whatever you decide, mamma."
Mrs. Chichester thought a moment,
then decided. "I'll do it." she said
determinedly. "It will be hard, but
I'll do it." She went slowly and de
liberately to Mr. Ha vices, who by this
time had disposed of all his documeuts
ami was preparing to go. A look in
Mrs. Chichester's face stopped him.
He smiled at her.
"Well?" lie asked.
"For the sake of the memory of
my dead sister. I will do as Nathaniel
wished." said Mrs. Chichester, with
great dignity and self abnegation.
Mr. Hawkes breathed a sigh of re
lief.
"Goodl" he said. "I'm delighted. It
is splendid. Now that you have decid
ed so happily there is one thing more
I must tell you. The young lady is not
to be told the conditions of the will
unless at the discretion of the execu
tors should some crisis arise. She will
be to all intents and purposes—your
guest. In that way we may be able
to arrive at a more exact knowledge
of her character. Is that understood?"
The family sign!lied severally and
collectively that it was.
"And now." beamed the lawyer, hap
py at tin? fortunate outcome of a sit
uation that a few moments before
seemed so strained, "where Is your
bell?"
Alaric indicated the bell.
"May 1 ring?" asked the lawyer.
"Certainly." replied Alaric.
Mr. Ilawkes rang.
Alaric watched hlui curiously. "Want
a sandwich or something?"
Ilawkes smiled benignly on the un
fortunate family and rubbed his hands
together self satlslieilly.
"Now I would like to send for the
young lady—the heiress."
"\\ lu re is she?" asked .Mrs. Chlches
ter.
"She arrived from New York this
morning, and I brought her straight
here. I had to call on a client, so I
gave her your address and told her to
come .here and wait."
At the word "wait" an uneasy feel
ing took possession of Ethel. That was
the word used by that wretched little
creature who had so rudely intruded
upon her and Rrent. Could it be pos
sible-
Tile footman entered at that mo
ment.
The lawyer questioned him.
"Is there a young lady waiting for
Mr. Hawkes?"
"A young lady, sir? No, sir," an
swered Jar vis.
Mr. Ilawkes was puzzled. What in
the world had become of her? He told
the cabman distinctly where to go.
Jarvis opened the door to go out
when a thought suddenly occurred to
him. He turned hack and spoke to the
lawyer:
"There's a .voting person sitting In
the kitchen—came up and knocked at
the door and said she had to wait un
til a gentleman called. Can't get noth
ing out of her "
Hawkes brightened up.
"That must be Miss O'Connell," he
said He turned to Mrs. Chichester
and asked her if he might bring the
young lady In there.
"My niece in the kitchen!" said Mrs.
Chichester to the unfortunate footman.
"Surely you should know the differ
ence between my niece and a servant!"
"I urn truly sorry, madam," replied
Jarvis in distress, "but there was noth
ing to tell."
"Another such mistake and you can
leave mv employment" Mrs. Chiches
ter added severely.
Jarvis pleaded piteously:
"Upon my word, madam, no one
could tell."
"That will do!" thundered Mrs. Chl-
"Bring my niece here—at
once!"
The wretched Jarvis departed on his
errand, muttering to himself: "Wait
until they see her. Who in the world
could tell she was their relation?"
Mrs. Chichester was very angry.
"It's monstrous!'' she exclaimed.
"Stoopid!" agreed Alaric. "Doocid
stoopid."
Ethel said nothing. The one thought
that was passing through her mind
was. "How much did that girl hear
Brent say. and how much did she see
Mr. Brent do?"
Hawkes tried to smooth the misun
derstanding out.
"I am afraid it was all my fault." he
explained. "I told her not to talk—just
to say that she was to wait. I want
ed to have an opportunity to explain
matters before Introducing her."
"She should have been brought
straight to me," complained Mrs. Chi
chester. "The poor thing!" Then with
a feeling of outraged pride she said:
"My niece In the kitchen—a Klngsnorth
mistaken for a servant!"
The door opened and Jarvis came
Into the room. There was a look of
half triumuh on his face as much as
to say: "Now. who would not make a
mistake like that? Who could tell tills
girl was your niece?"
He beckoned Peg to come into the
room.
Then the Chichester family received
the second shock they had experienced
that day—one compared with which
the failure of the bank paled into iu
significance. When they saw the i
strange, shabby, red haired girl slouch
iuto the room with her parcels and that
disgraceful looking dog they felt the
hand of misfortune had indeed fallen
upon them.
As Peg wandered into the room Mrs.
Chichester and Alaric looked at her in

HOSPITAL infirRQVEMENTS
TO BE MADE IN ANY EVENT
If State Refuses Money Harrisburg
Institution Must Get It From Some
Other Source, Says Superintendent
W.M. Condon
Needed improvements to the Harris-;
burg hospital for which application has
been made to the Slate Boar,l l of Public
Charities and which have net been rec
ommended by the board will be made
even if flue, Stale does not appropriate
money for that purpose, according to
W. M, Condon, superintendent of the
hospital.
The State Board has recommended
to the Legislature that $:15,000 be ap
propriated to the Harrisburg hospital
for maintenance only, clipping $15,000
from * what was asked. An additional
$9,500 wns sought for needed improve
'ineiitx which include items of $2,500
tor tiling dispensaries, a new operating
room, laundry machinery ami $2,000
for tire doors.
"The improvements are needed for
tthe safety of the patients." said Mr.
Condon, "and we will carry them
through. We'll have to get the money
some place if we have to go to the pub
lic to get it. The fire doors have been
ordered installed by the State Depart
ment of Laibor and Industry."
The recommendation of the State
Board of Charities is not final. Bills
for the various appropriations will be
introduced singly in the Legislature
and that body may see fit to give the
local institution some money for im
provements. The Governor, hoiwever,
has the last say oro approbations and
his final cut generally brings the total
on charity appropriations to within a
few thousand of the recommendations
of the State Board.
