Miners' Willing Comb-out.... Although under the original voting the opinions of Notting- hamshire miners were pretty.. evenly divided upon the question of the Government proposals to take 50,000 more men from thei pita for military purposes, 00 opposition is cow being raised to the comb-out, with which s com mencement has already been made in the country.
About 2,500 are required es "Notting- himehire's contributions to the total, and thees will readily be found, a selection being made by ballot of workers between 18 and 25. The majority of those affected are single, and can be replaced by older hands.
Keeping Most Good,
In present circumstances, (esys The Times) if ¡the housewife bi s small family wishes to obtain a fair-sized piece of meat, she is practically obliged to expand all her available coupons an asingle purchase, and then she is faced with the risk, which has proved itself real even since rationing was introduced, and which will grow greater as the weather be- comes warmer, that the meat on which she is relying for a week will go bad before it is used. Evidently an antiseptic or pre- servative treatment that could be trusted to keep the meat good would be a boon, but any cube tance used for the purpose, besides being effective, would need to leave neither tsele nor adour in the meat, and would also have to be harmless to the haman organism. A correspond- ent informs us that he has had an opportunity of tasting two hot! joints, one of beef and the other of mutton, which had been kept by a process of this kind. When they were roasted they had both; been hang, unprotected from infection by dust, in an ordinary room for a fortnight after being delivered by the butcher.. Ope had been sprayed' occasionally with a 3 per cent, solution of an antiseptic compound of Italian origin called Bacterol, and the
other had been immersed in a similar solution for half an hour: on two occasions Our corrs- spondent could detect no trace of the antiseptic either by smell or by taste, both the mesta were excellent to eat, and be noticed no untoward effects afterwarða. So far, therefore, the experiment was successful, though it would obviously be raah to generalise from a single instance.
