F A M IL Y DOCTOR. ^JOUNJOSePM GAINES M.Q EVERYDAY SUGGESTIONS I believe in the strictest economy in food, of course, but I draw the line of caution at “warmed-over stuff” in hot weather. Be‘ter prepare fresh food for each meal,—the quantity measured so that little or none will be left over as waste, or to be warmed over in Its stale condition. What set me to thinking of th is—1 had a midnight summons this week, to attend a mother and her nme-year- old daughter— both suffering acutely—severely— vomiting and purging; they could hardly be still long enough to an­ swer my questions as to the probable cause. Well, they had both eaten supper at a public cafe; a bowl of chlcken-and-noodles had been prepared for the noon dinner, in over-supply; the left-over part had been chucked Into the Ice box—and came handy for the even­ ing meal. A son, also with the mother, had not eaten any of the noodles or chicken—he did not have any trouble; the Identity of the offender was plain. Of course it had become infected in some way, and was certainly stale, over-cooked, devoid of sweet, pure, nourishing properties. Better watch the refrigerator too,— if you are in the habit of storing desserts, meats, etc. — one can’t be too clean.
