10 HI HOUSEHOLD PP TALKS ||b£ig Henrietta D. Grauel Food Containers We usually think little about how our fooil is wrapped, being more concerned with the food itself. But very bad wrappers or very pood ones attract our attention. There has been such a great improvement in delivery conditions in the past few days thnt we take as a matter of course the excellent,' sani tary, attractive containers our markets send our purchases to us in. As a matter of fact, this subject has been written and talked about a great deal by producers and manufacturers. If a man is making a first class product, he is anxious to have it come into the home in the best possible condition. It as a matter of pride with him to present it as attractive as he can. On the other hand if a food stuff is indif ferently good a manufacturer or dealer will sometimes think to gloss over the imperfections bv plentiful use of hand some wrappings. There is a third class of men who select wrappings and con tainers with deliberate intent to de fraud by false appearance or added weight. The United States Bureau of Chem istry studied those points and came to the conclusion it was well worth while to gather data on the subject and they found "that paper dishes eotild be made r \ One 12 Doses 10c I Trial Will Convince U :*« Doses 2,>c At AU Druggists For Headaches, Neuralgia Quick —Safe—Sure *- * When the P.

They found, too, that wrap-, ping paper was not subpeeted to any cleaning process aside from the drying :of the pulp, where heat had a tendency to rfeduee the live organisms in the material. So much publicity has been given to the matter of weighing containers with the food in them; of wetting paper or wooilen dishes to increase their weight and similar things that there cannot be a dealer in the country who does not know what is right and what is wrong in the matter. There is now a splendid assortment I of water proofed, clean sanitary dishes J for holding butter, lard, chopped meat ami other soft foods. The oiled or paraffine paper protects the - food from touching the ordinary wooden or paper I dish when it is used as a lining and its use should be insisted on by the pur chaser, for there is no excuse for any :denier not using a sanitary container. And as for clean wrapping paper, nothing is so necessary from the stand | point of right living! A dealer who ! would wrap food in paper that was anything but absolutely sanitary should be prpsecuted, for he would do other i things as careless and bad. House | keepers are too scant with their praise, | they seldom speak of what meets with their approval. It is a good thing to | commend your grocer if he is careful, i Then, when you must suggest some im | provement along sanitary lines, he will | listen with interest and respect.

OQrtPAtfY CONTINUED -AH," breathed the girl from be tween trembling lips, "don't go on. 1 shall be shown the way." The Marquise d'Esclignac then said, 1 musing: "I shall telegraph to England tot, provisions. Food Is vile in Algiers. Also, Melanle must get out our sum mer clothes." "Ma tante!" said Julia Redmond, "our summer clothes?" "Did you think you were going! alone, my dear Julia!" She had been so thoroughly the American girl that she had thought of nothing but going. She threw her' arms around her aunt's neck with an abandon that made the latter young again. The Marquise d'Esclignac kissed her niece tenderly. "Madame la Marquise. Monsieur le Due de Treinont is at the telephone," the servant announced to her from the doorway. CHAPTER XV. Julia's Romance. From her steamer chair the Mar quise d'Esclignac asked: "Are you absorbed in your book, Julia?" Miss Redmond faintly smiled as she j laid it down. She was absorbed in but' one thing, morning, noon and night,; waking or sleeping: when and where | she should find him; how he was being 1 treated. Had he been taken captive? I He was not dead, of that she was sure. ! "What is the book. Julia?" "Le Conte d'un Spahi." "Put it down and let me speak to you of Robert de Tremont." Miss Redmond, being his guest and indebted to him for her luxurious transportation, could not in decency refuse the request. "He knows nothing whatever of our errand, Julia." "Ah, then, what does he think?" Miss Redmond on the arm of her blue serge coat wore a band of white, in the center of which gleamed the Red Cross. The marquise, wrapped in a sable rug, held a small Pekinese lap dog cuddled under her arm, and had only the appearance of a lady of leis ure bent on a pleasure excursion. She did not suggest a rescuing party dn the ; least. Her jaunty hat was enveloped by a delicate veil; her hands were in cased In long white gloves. Now that she had encouraged her energetic niece and taken this decisive step, she re ' laxed and found what pleasure she , might in the voyage. "When we came on board last night, my dear, you remember that 1 sat with Robert in the salon until . . . well, latish." "After midnight?" "Possibly; but I am fifty and he is thirty. Moreover, lam his godmother 1 He is enchanting, Julia, spiritual and sympathetic. I confess, my dear, that 1 I find myself rather at a loss as to what to tell him." Miss Redmond listened politely. She was supremely indifferent as to what had been told to her host. This was Tuesday; they should reach Algiers on Saturday at the latest. What news j would meet them there? She held in her book the last dispatch from the ministry of war. Supposing the Cap | tain de Sabron had been taken captive J by some marauding tribe and was be ing held for a ransom! This was the I Romance of a Spahi, in which she was absorbed Taken captive! She could not let herself think what that might mean. "Robert's mother, you know, is my closest friend. His father was one of the witnesses of my marriage. I feel that I have brought up Robert . . it would have been so perfect." She sighed. "Ma tante!" warned Miss Redmond, with a note of pain in her voice. "Yes, yes," accepted the marquise, "1 know, my dear, I know. But you cannot escape from the yacht except in a lifeboat, and if you did it would be one of Robert's lifeboats! You must not be too formal with him." She tapped the. nose of her Pekinese dog. "Be still, Mimi, that man is only a sailor! and if he were not here and at his duty you would be drowned, you little goose!" The Pekinese dog was a new addi tion. Julia tried not to dislike her; for Julia, only Pitchoune existed. could not touch Mimi without a sense of disloyalty. The boat cut the azure water with its delicate white body, the decks glistened like glass. The sailor at whom Mimi had barked passed out of sight, and far up In the bow Tremont, in white flannels, stood smoking. "I had to be very circumspect, my dear Julia, when I talked with Robert. You see you are not engaged to Mon sieur de Sabron." Tlje girl colored. "The sentimental woman in me," her aunt went on, "has responded to all your fantasies, but the practical wom an In me callß me a romantic goose." "Ail," breathed Miss Redmond, open ing her book, "ma tante, let me read." "Nonsense," said the marquise affec tionately. "The most important part of the whole affair is that we are here —that we are en route to Algiers, Is It not?" The girl extended her hand grate fully. "And thank you! Tell me, what did you say to him?" The marquise hummed a little tune, and softly pulled Mlml's ears. "Remember, my child, that If we find Monsieur de Sabron, the circumspec tion will have to be even greater still." "Leave that to me, ma taote." "You don't know," said the de termined ladv ouite sweetly, "that ha has the slightest desire to marry you, Julia." Miss Redmond sat up in her chair, and flamed. *"Do you want to make me miser able?" "I intend to let my worldly wisdom equal this emergency, Julia. I want Robert to have no suspicion of the facts." "How can we prevent It, ma tante?" "We can do so If you will obey me." The girl started, atid her aunt, look ing up at the Due de Tremont where he stood in the bow, saw that he showed signs of finishing his smoke and of joining them. "Ma tante," said the girl quickly, "have you brought pie here under false colors? Have you let him think . . ." "Hush, Julia, you are indebted to him for accomplishing your own de sire." "But I would never, never . . ." "Petite, sotte," cried the marquise, "then you would never have been on this yacht." Intensely troubled and annoyed, Julia asked in a low tone: "For heaven's sake, ma tante, tell me what the Due de Tremont thinks!" Her aunt laughed softly. "'The in trigue and romance of it all enter tained her. She had the sense of hav ing made a very pretty concession to her niece, of having accomplished a Very agreeable pleasure trip for her self. As for young Sabron, he would be sure to be discovered at the right moment, to be lionized, decorated and advanced. The reason that she had no wrinkles on her handsome cheek was because she went lightly through life. "He thinks, my dearest girl, that you are like all your countrywomen: a little eccentric and that you have a "You Must Not Be Too Formal With Him." strong mind. He thinks you one of the most tender-hearted and benevo lent of girls." ''Ma tante, ma tante!" "He thinks you are making a little mission Into Algiers among the sick and the wounded. He thinks you are going to sing in the hospitals." "But," exclaimed the girl, "he must think me mad." "Young men don't care how mildly mad a beautiful young woman is, my dear Julia." "But, he will find out ... he will know." "No," said the marquise, "that he will know." "No." said the marquise, "that he will not. I have attended to that. He will not leave his boat during the ex cursion, Julia. He remains, and we go on shore with our people." "How splendid!" sighed Julia Red mond, relteved.
