Thin bamboo tubes are fastened TO

them from birds of prey. When the
bird Is in motion, the action of the air
through the tubes causes a whistling

''The potent factor in proper food is
its proper cooking" Primitive man may
have been a vegetarian; though it was
always, doubtless, as now, largely matter
of environment as TO climate and food pro-
duction. Whether he cooked his food or
not would be governed by the same laws.
That he had very early knowledge CT

Heat Applied to Food.

One result OF no little Importance, in
cooking food, is to render 1t more palate BILE.
The proper cooking develops faVors and
odors not noticeable in the raw foods.
The two primary principles therefore in
cooking foods are to bring out or develop
new tiaEors and retain those present.
