When both men were elevated to

as the correspondents in cabling &C

1.-THE COOK

places three heaping teaspoons OF
Grape-NutS in 4 saucer for each guest
and pours over the food some hot
milk or hot water and allows it, to
stand 10 minutes: then serve with
rich cream and sugar. / have served
the Grape-Nuts food in this way at
my table to numerous friends, some
of whom do not care for it dry. They
are enthusiastic about it served hot,
and it is 20 great favorite with US
that 1 have been tempted to write,

Leavitt, Minneapolis Mimi. (Mr.
Leavitt is superintendent of the fam
Gus Housekeeper magazine.)
There are many ways of serving
Grape Nuts and making from them
tempting and delicious dishes. The
variety of tastes can be suited. and
under all circumstances it may be re-
mem bered that the food is first per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory, and gives the highest form OF
nourishmeut to the human body, for
it is directly used by the system to
rebuild the brain and nerve centers.
Ten days trial by any thoughtful
person will prove the assertion.

pect of Coming Back Home In tn
Spring.
-Vedado, CuSa, Jan. 1.-Editor AR
Gus: This being New Years day and
having all unusual amount of spare
time, | thought OF no better way of
improving it than writing you a
letter.
Little did think one year ago today
that l would spend my next New
Years in this land of Cuba, but none
of US knows one year what the next
will bring forth.
We are spending the day in very
quiet way. There are no drills to
attend aud the battery boys are lounG-
ing around the barracks, some OF them
reading, some writing, but most OF
them discussing the possibility of
being sent back to the states i'll the
spring, as there is a rumor afloat here,
purporting to come from regimental
headquarters, that the 2nd artillery
will be relieved by the 4th within
the next four months. Where we
will 20 on leaving here is not known,
but it seems to be the general opinion
throughout the regiment that we will
be sent to the heavy artillery stations
around New York.
Cuban Holidays.
With the coming of the new year
comes the Cuban holidays. The Gu
bans have a holiday every other day
after the 1st of January. in fact the
whole year is one continuous holiday,
as they never workout they only
celebrate every other day.
The Pasadio (park) is just block
from our barracks and it is there the
Cubans hold their celebrations. They
have brass band, and it makes me
shudder to think of what we will have
to stand for the next three or four
weeks. The only tune they know is
the Cuban anthem, and they play it,
but not TO finish. 1t puts me in
mind of a German band playing in
front OF saloon, and the only differ
ence | can see between the two is that
the German band plays ''Ob, My Little
Augustine and the Cuban band plays
the Cuban anthem. We were having
company inspection one evening last
week, and were standing to attention
while the captain looked US over TO
see whether lie could find anything to
call us down about, when all at once
the band began TO play that same Old
tune. The music affected the boys so
they, could not stand still, and the
licutenants at once divining the cause
of the uneasiness began TO pull their
hair, and the captain pulled his whisk-
ers, for the reason that he was bald.
headed and had no hair to pull. 1t is
needless to say he has sworn eternal
vengeance against that band.
