LAWYERS MUST “CLEAN HOUSE”
Bj CHIEF JUSTICE CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
Attempts by lawyers to thwart the administration of justice by
delays, sharp practice and chicanery should be unsparingly condemned.
They have no place in a profession where skill and honor should go hand
in hand.
Even when purged, as it should be, of its delinquents, the bar is
only at the threshold of its opportunity to devote its technical knowledge
to the effort to adjust the mechanism of justice to the demands of a com­
plex society to which old methods in many respects are unsuited.
While improvement in this direction is necessarily slow, bar associa­
tions may immediately perform a great service in strongly insisting on the
selection of capable prosecutors, magi^jjates and judges.
ERADICATION OF PANTRY INSECT PESTS
Cleaning Crevices With a Skewer as a Precaution Against Cereal. Beetles.
<Pr«par»d by the United Staten Denartmea*

There are more than forty different
beetles and moths that Infest grains
and other dry stored foods. Many of
them are chiefly troublesome in gran­
aries and warehouses and on railroad
cars used for transporting such goods.
Some of them occasionally Invade
kitchens and storerooms in private
dwellings. Among those most fre­
quently found are the cadelle beetle,
the mealworm beetle, the confused
flour beetle, and the saw-toothed
grain beetle. These beetles feed on
flour, grain products, dried fruits,
seeds, nuts, spices, tobacco and other
starchy and woody materials. Some
prefer one food and some another,
while some are quite general feeders.
The bureau of entomology of the
United States Department of Agricul­
ture explains that these beetles can
live on very small quantities of dry
cereal that they And in cracks, cor­
ners, and crevices of flour bins, pan-
tries, and kitchen cabinets. So it be­
hooves the housewife to see that no
food material is lodged In such places
to invite these unwelcome visitors.

a skewer to remove any cereal. In­
cluding flour or bread crumbs, lodged

The Indian meal moth is another of
the cereal pests that makes a loose
webbing sometimes found in cereal
boxes. Cleanliness and heat are the
best methods of ridding the kitchen
and storeroom of meal beetles and
moths. All infested material should
be burned. All bags and containers In
Which foods are to be stored should
be sterilized. Clean all lint and dust
from shelves where the Insects might
live. Use plenty of hot water and
soap In cleaning. If you are closing
the house during the warm months,
even for a few weeks. It Is better to
throw away small amounts of cereal
than to store It with the likelihood
that it may become infested and give
trouble all through the pantry or
storage closet.
Peaches Preferred

SUMMER TOURS ON SHIPS

for those who like to an­

treasures of wealth and trea-
vres of health were all due to

But when your ship does come
in, with you aboard, you are al­
most sure that it has brought you
one treasure and perhaps the
greatest treasure of them all—

you have taken your voyage on a
present day liner.
Health Builders
A wanderer in tropical Amep
XX lea tells the story of his
C
visit to the home of a
wealthy planter and the treat
which he was afforded there. The
traveler and his host sat on the
wide veranda lazying away the
hot afternoon, and looking out
over endless fruit trees—some of
the most varied which the tropics
afford. A native servant brought
cooling drinks, and Inquired what
fruit was preferred with the af­
ternoon tea.
"Open a big can of California
peaches,” the planter replied. "For
good eating, you can't beat them."
Moro Peaches Consumed
And because that is the general
consensus
of
opinion,
more
canned peaches are consumed in
this country than any other fruit.
In 1227, the latest census report,
of a total of 27,554,221 cases of
canned fruits, 11,305,067 were
peaches.
For afternoon tea, a new tart
that you will meet this summer
at many porch parties is Peach
and Nut Tart made as follows:
Add two tablespoons of sugar and
three-eighths teaspoon of cloves
to one No. 1 can of sliced peaches,
and cook five or ten minutes until
the peaches are very tender and
the syrup somewhat thickened.
Remove the peaches, and, when
cold, arrange In baked tart shells.
To the syrup, add one-half table­
spoon of cornstarch smoothed
with one tablespoon of oold water,
and cook again until thick. Cool
and pour over the peaches.
Sprinkle one-half cup of chopped
nuts on top, and garnish with
whipped cream.
This , makes
eight or ten tarts.*.
For unlike the ocean trips of
early days when passengers and
crew camo back ill with the
d eaded diseases of scurvy and
beriberi because the ships could
not carry enough of the vitamin-
bearing foods, ocean trips today
are
health-builders
and pre­
scribed by physicians for that
purpose. Whether your wander­
lust takes you to the West Indies,
to Europe, or to some other part
of the world, there are three
muln reasons why you feel one-
hundred per cent better on your
return than at the start. Those
reasons are sea air, relaxation,
and good food.
The great steamships of today
vie with each other in procuring
the choicest and most healthful
foods and in preparing them in
the most tempting and most
healthful forms. With the ad
vent of canned foods and satis­
factory refrigeration the problem
of providing a perfect menu,
both from the standpoint of taste
and dietetics, has been complete,

a dozen different kinds of smoked
meats. It Included nlue different
corned meats, fifteen kinds of
sausage and nine different kinds
of canned meats. The miscellan­
eous kinds of moats, fresh, frozen
and pickled, numbered twenty-
three and the big ships carried
sixteen different kinds of Kosher
meats. Bo much for flsh and
meats.
Canned Foods Tested
As for the canned foods on this
list, in addition to the flsh and
moats mentioned, there were
thirty-five different kinds of
fruits, Including elevcti pie fruits
and fifty-threA kinds of vegeta­
bles. The fresh vegetables car­

fruits thirty-eight. la all, there
were approximately 1200 items.
And every food that comes on
board must be perfect. The
canned foods are all tested by an
expert before they are put tn

Is first carefully inspected, the
syrup tested and the cherries
counted. There should be not
more than a hundred of this
fancy species in a No. 2% can.
The expert then eats some of the
cherries, and if he pronounces
them perfect, checks that item on
his food list—thus passing on
Royal Anne Cherries. And a
similar careful inspection
is
made of all of the 1200 varieties
of food.
Best Grsdes To All
Passengers sometimes wonder
how it is possible to satisfy al­
most any whim of the tourist, in
the way of rare dishes. Ono rea­
son la that the big liners stock
up with only the very best canned
foods for their passengers, and
the goodness of these quality
grades of canned foods to almost
Identical with the fresh. The
Leviathan, for example, serves
only the fancy grado of food, not
alone to its first class passengers,
but to its second and third class
passengers.
