gets choked with grease. I prefer a tight tank, provided with a tell-tale,
and that is to be opened either by a valve operated by hand, or that is
arranged with a standing overflow like a bath tub, and that can be raised
and secured by a hook.

SANITARY COOKING.[5]

[Footnote 5: Read before the Indiana State Sanitary Society, Seymour,
March 13, 1884.--_The Sanitarian._]

By VIRGINIA L. OPPENHEIMER, M.D., Seymour, Ind.


"We may live without poetry, music, and art,
We may live without conscience, and live without heart,
We may live without friends,
We may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

"We may live without books--
What is knowledge but grieving?
We may live without hope--
What is hope but deceiving?
We may live without love--what is passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live without dining?"
