TOMAINE poisoning {8 only one of many painful
P and serious forms of f{llness which may result

been kept so long that it I 8 unfit for human consump
tion. One reason why this is the cause of so much suf
fering and often death is that all of us are apt to place
too much reliance on our senses of taste and smell
These senses, however keen they may be, are not ahso
lutely safe guides. Many kinds of food may have de
teriorated to a degree where they are full of deadly
poisong and still reveal no hint of danger to the most
sensitive nose or palate.
Every housewife should learn to apply the simple and
infallible tests which show whether or not food is fit
to-eat. This is particularly necessary during the Sum
mer, when the danger of sickness or death from eating
unfit foods is greatest. I‘l
In sea foods the prime requisite is freshness. e
eyes of the fresh fish will be prominent and full, while
its pupils will be dark. This, however, 18 not an infalli
ble test, as soon after being caught, but long before the
fish is unfit for food its eyes become gray and shrunken.
Fish in their natural state have red gills; therefore,
Why BATHS Make Us “CGATCH GOLD”
NE of the peculiarly aggravating things about
a cold in the head is that its origin is so difficult
to trace. Occasionally we remember sitting be
fore an open window, or riding on a street car without
sufficient wraps, or finding a concert hall or church
draughty, but in the majority of instances the question
must be left unanswered. This is especially annoying
to the thoughtful person, for it handicaps the prevention
of similar exposure; we cannot guard ourselves unless
we know against what we need to guard.
One of the most prolific causes of catching cold,
bowever, is often overlooked. This is a bath. First of
all, few people seem to bear in mind that rubbing with
a towel after a bath is not mainly for the purpose of
drying oneself. That needs to be done, of course, but
if we take a bath and then merely dry ourselves with
the towel, we are deliberately inviting a cold.

avoid fish with gray, muddy white or greenish gills. A
fresh fish is full scaled, the scales firm, not easily de
tachable or rubbed off and with a bright and glistening
appearance. A fish deficient in scales or that are easily
rubbed off or are of a dull color and dry in condition—
such a fish is getting to be of the kind Dogberry had in
mind when he observed that “comparisons are odorous.”
The flesh of a fresh fish is firm and elastic to the
touch; if decomposition is present the fish will be soft,
flabby and will “pit” deeply under finger pressure. If
in good condition the flesh {8 not easily stripped from the
backbone, neither does it come away so clean as when
it has commenced to decompose. The dealer should
comply with any request to strip the fish for a demon
stration of its freshness. Another test is to hold the
fish between thumb and finger, exerting a moderate
-pressure; if the flesh parts readily it must be consid
ered unsound.
With fish, as with all foods, the nose is usually a
good detective. And yet the absence of any putrid
smell is not a safe guide, for a fish kept on ice may
smell well enough and yet change very rapidly after
removal from the ice.
Algo, the frequent washings some dealers give fish
brighten them up and tend to keep down the offensive
smell. It is hard to decfde when the fish is half way
between fresh and putrid; in case of doubt don’t buy
the fish,
A fresh, healthy, live lobster is dark green, quick in
its movements, heavy for its size; and when lifted up
the tail will spring back under it. A tail that springs
back when pulled indicates a fresh lobster; pass by a
limp tailed specimen. You simply have to hold your
nose in the presence of a stale lobster.

If the skin be merely dried, much moisture will re
main. This will evaporate quickly. Evaporation, as is
well known, is perhaps the speediest method of produc
ing cold that exists. It cools the skin too quickly, and
a severe cold is often the result, g
The action of cold water, moreover, holds the blood
back from the skin, leaving it without this warming
protection. ’
The towelling after a bath should be vigorous and
prompt. The friction should be so energetic that the
skin becomes reddened, for the reddening shows the
return of the blood to the surface. This will prevent
many of the colds to which people are subject.
Another reason why we catch cold in a bath is due
to the shape of modern bath tubs. In many instances,
in order to eover the whole body, the neck and shoulders
are lowered into the water, so that—especially among
men—the lower part of the head is wet, enough to
saturate a couple of inches of hair above the neck.

Oysters and clams, when not per

soon as possible after being opened.
The shell of a healthy oyster is

it is. a good sign. Oysters in the
shell, on beginning to weaken, will
rattle like the breaking of chinaware
when moved about, and when opened
will be ropy and slimy and will have
mud in the gills. Good oysters, when
first opened, should have a clear cut
shape, of ereamy color and round. If
stale oysters are found in a lot the
whole should be condemned, as the
contamination of a bad one will pene
trate to others.
It is hard to tell, except by tasting,
when an oyster has been fattened
artifieially by being soaked in fresh
water to make it appear plump. The
taste will tell at once; an oyster so
treated is flat and stale.

AVOID FISH WITH
(A)—Gray, muddy white or greenish gills; (B)
—Dull scales that rub off easily; (C)—Soft, flabby
flesh that does not readily strip away from the
backbone.
Remember that healthy wild ducks have black feet.
Any duck with legs and feet pliant and soft, eyes bright
and prominent, and the flesh fairly firm 'and bright
looking is in prime condition. The feet and legs of
stale ducks are stiff and dry, they have sunken and dull
eyes, flabby flesh, discolored necks and a greenish tinge
over the abdomen, The same test applies to pheasants.
Woodeocks, on becoming stale, have a “muddy” throat
and moist bill, And since this bird may be badly spoiled
befgore showing, it should be most carefully inspected
bhefore buying.
The government stamp on a piece of meat is not an
assurance that it is perfectly safe to buy it—but only
that the cattle was not diseased when killed; and meat
may have travelled a long road from the time the stamp
was put on. Good, wholesome meat should be firm un
der pressure of the fingers, should show distinctly the
branching veins. Beef or muton should be a deep rose
color with the fat a rich eream. Hard and skinny fat
indicates the animal was old and tough.
The best veal is pale colored; and its kidney is en
closed in fat, which should be firm and white., Good
pork has a smooth, thin rind, firm tv the touch and
light in color; it will give no disagreeable odor when
cut through or when warm water is poured over it.
Don’t touch pork that hasn't the right odor. Bacon
should be white and firm, not yellowish. A steel skewer
driven into bacon or ham should come out clean; if
particles of meat adhere to the skewer, it should not
be used at all. :
Examine carefully the frills of all animals before pur
chasing. A liver showing dark spots through it is not
