Cooks In 1907.

An English magazine printed In 1907
affords an opportunity to learn of the hy-
gienic treatment of cooks at that period.
Similar proceedings at tho close of the
century would promptly depopulate our
kitchens 1t appears that In England, at
the date mentioned, IL was considered the
correct thing to administer medicine to
cooks at stated intervals 1lhis was insist
cd ux,sn whether or no they resisted Tho
theagy In vogue, as a reason for this heroic
treatment, was that the continued fumes
of cookery and the necessity Of drinking
oftaa to cool tho throat produced bllo and
humors that injured the sense of taste
The local effect was 10 excorinte tho palate,
and unless prompt remedies werc applied
Il became oallous and tho cooks useful
ness imperiled.
To restore the integrity Of the organs Of
taste " was considercd imperative 20 re-
sort to the following treatment: Tho vie
tim was first subjected to two dnys OF pre-
paratory regimen, when q decoction Of man
na senna and salts was administorTi Ono
days rest was allowed, when the dose was
repeated A respite Of 48 hours intervcned,
when, II favorable results followed, a
heavier desc was givcn
The periodical quocd rcviows the con
tingcncics likely to arise from this enferced
regimen. AS matter Of precaution IL In
sists that employers shall inazc service de-
pendent upon prompt acquiesccncc ia this
heroic formula. II the cook is recalcitrant,
she IS either to be dismissed without pay
ment of wages or reduced TO the position
of sculllon. Tho forced administration OF
senna, manna and salts 20 the naughty
beings who preside over our kitchens would
promptly land haads Of households In a
police court, TO say nothing Of preliminary

country girl and went walking with her,
while Joshua denounced the man under
his breath and resolved to punish him for
stealing Susan's heart.
Il may be only gawky farmer, 4" Josh

that play actor fellow, but he'll feel sorry
he ever came here" Joshua even went SO
far as to purchase a new suit of clothes at

started in pursuit.
After 2 gallop of half an hour Joshua
came In sight of the buggy. The vehicl,
