TABLE AND KITCHEN.

absolute necessity to all civilized beings
should, as yet, be so little advanced In
practice among those most actively con-
cerned in purveying to the needs OF the
body.
One result Of no little Importance in
cooking food is TO render It more palstable.
The proper cooking develops iavors and
odors not noticeable in the raw foods.
The two primary principles therefore In
cooking foods are to bring out or develop
new navors and retain those present.
Cooking food facilitates mastication by
softening the tough or hard substances that
surround or compose them. The teeth can
divide and separate them more readily and
they are more thoroughly mixed with the
saliva.
As digestion begins IL the mouth It Is
very important that foods be thoroughly
and slowly masticated, and also important
that the teeth are in condition to perform
this important work in a satisfactory man

take place, and while the nature of the ele-
ments must undergo a change, it depends
on the understanding of these elements
whether we destroy their usefulness or re-
tain their character while converting them
into more digestible forms. Cooking

substances more readily digested Sugar

longer and greater heat.
The decomposition OF fats by heat makes
them more digestibe, II the heating Is
properly done; otherwise uncoolsed fats arc
far more wholesome. Nature has supplied
US with vegetable oils as well as butter
and cream, which are suitable for con-
sumption without cooking
Fats give warmth, aud warmth promotes
digestion by increasing the supply Of blood
to the digestive organs. This Increases the
secretion Of digestive fluids.
The stimulating effect of food Is very
noticeable, and hence the reason for serv-
ing hot soups before dinner A cup OF hot
tea or glass of hot milk has the same ef-
feet, but the former Is simply stimulant
and the latter sufficient food within it
self while the hot soup possesses both
characteristics In a very moderate degree
and is more suitable for the purpose in

While all these changes are necessary
to promote good digestion, heat performs
another very important service; Il destroys
parasites that may exist and renders any
dangerous bacteria harmless that may have

The characteristic quality OF the Battle
Creek Sanitarium Foods is the cooking or
dextrinzation OF the farinaceous elements.
II is this thorough cooking which renders
toast more digestible than ordinary bread.
This crude method improved upon. has
produced a series Of health foods which
are more digestlble and nutritious than any
others found upon the market The chief
of these is Granola, which is unequaled
for brain and nerve-building qualities. 1t

enjoyed by the athlete and invalid and

Buffers Flank March.

All eyes are turned toward General Bull : aer,sfefforts to turn General Jouberts right flank. He has crossed the Tugela at Springfield; has advanced to and seized Potgieters Drift, and is supposed to be ad- vancing to Dewdrop, which is abreast of Ladysmith about nine miles to the west away. Springfield is on the Little Tugela river, about fourteen miles from Colenso, and Potgieter's Drift is on Big Tugela. It is eight miles due north from Springfield ito Potgieter's Drift, and about ten miles mere to Dewdrop.
 Upon the success of this turning move ment depends the relief of Ladysmith be- fore its surrender becomes imperative on account of a failure of supplies. General Clery Threatens General Joubert's left. As fast as ground is taken entrenehments are thrown up, in the full Knowledge that the Boers dread entrenched lines, and will not assail them if they can avoid the task.
 All speculation is profbtless in the face of immediate movements. It Is plain that General Buller is trying to relieve Lady smith. not by a frontal attack, but by a turning movement on at least Joubert's right flank, and perhaps by movements on both Hanks. More than that the censor does not permit to know. The British troops are pushed forward, throwing up entrenchments as they go, and awaiting attack, instead of forcing a battle them selves. A heavy, decisive battle must take place somewhere unless the Boers decide to fall back to their lines about Ladysmith, which they may do. They have a good line of retreat, and General White in Lady, smith is not strong enough to materially interfere with a reurograde movement from ColenSo.

THE MoLINEux TRIAL
Evidence to Show Motive for Poisoning
 Barnet

New York January 15-Tn the trial of Roland B. Molineux. for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, the prosecution today intoduced testimony to show mo- tive for the poisoning of Henry c. Barnet by Molineux While Molineux is not on trial for the murder of Barnet, it is exceed ingly important for the prosecution to con- meet Molineux with Barnets death, as showing Molineux's character, his letter writing habits and his alleged use of cyan ide of mercury to kill those whom he hated. The testimony today reflected severely up- on the good name of Mrs. Molineux, but her husband listened unmoved.
 The prosecution called to the stand Ra- chel Green, negro .womanr-ef Washington, D. C., who testified that she had at one time lived at 257 West Seventy-fifth street, where a Mrs. Bell lived. Asked if she knew the defendant, she replied that she knew MT. Chesebrough, who lived there with Mrs. Chesebrough. Asked if she saw Mir Chesebrough in the room, she walked through the court room in front of the re- corders desk stepped up to within three feet of the defendant and pointing her fin- ger straight at Molineux, exclaimed:
 That's the man."
 The next witness was Minnie Betts, an- other colored woman. She testified that she had been employed as waitress and had tended the doors at Mrs. Bellingers, in West End avenue, and that Miss Blanche Chesebrough had lived there, but that she went away in the summer of 1898. The witness testified that she never saw MT. Molineux. until after he was married to Blanche Chesebrough. Asked if any other man ever called on her there, the witness replied in the affirmative. To the question of what he looked like, MT. Weeks objected and the objection was sustained by the court.
 MT. Osborne was afterward allewed to show the witness a picture of H. c. Bar net. After an inspection of the photograph of Barnet the witness said that it looked like the man who called on Miss Chese- brough, but that she could not remember positively
 Other witnesses during the day were William J. Kingsley the handwriting ex- pert, Herbert H. Jackson, the undertaken who prepared the body of H. c. Barnet for burial, and Albert s. Osborne, handwrit- ing expert, of Rochester, N. Y.

 This bill is necessary if action is to be ta- ken this year. The Walker commission was appointed at the instance of the oppos- ing railroads and steamship lines as a mat ter of delay. It is now in Central America, where 1t will probably stay until May. "All commissions" says MT. Hepburn, "are commissions of delay. We have all the in- formation that is necessary on which to legislate for the construction of canal, and with that idea this commission has re- commended the Nicaragua bill for passage. ThereIs no disposition to wait for any fur ther report from the present canal commis- sion We want definite action just soon as it can be obtained, so that the real work on the canal may be begun

ANOTHER BLISS BOOM
Henry c. Payne is Little Inclined to
 Favor His Nomination

Philadelphia, Pa, January 15.-Henry c. Payne, of Wisconsin. member of the na- tional republican committee, before leaving for Washington today, spoke as follows on the subject of the presidency:
 'It has been conceded that President Me- Kinley will be renominated by a unanimous vote but when 1t comes to a second choice on the ticket all indications at this time point out that there will likely be a large field of candidates.
 1.-The name of C. N Bliss. of New York, would be acceptable to the people of many states, both east and west, but MT. Bliss has said that under no circumstances must his name be used for the nomination.
 q have heard the name of Attorney Gen. eral Griggs spoken of for the place, but it is not at all likely that he would accept the nomination For some time past the west has been perfectly willing to allow the vice. presidential nomination to go to New York, must stop quarreling or the Mississippi val ley will put out a candidate with a strong backing
 Tt has been a long time since the west has had a vice-president and unless there is some decided stand taken by the eastern statesmen the west will do just what she was ready to do in the last presidential convention. It was only the great popular ity and friendship entertained for the late Garret A. Hobart which prevented the west from pushing her own candidate"

IYDDITE TO COLOR MILK

fOfn IHe lldHCel.
 Considerable speculation has been made as to the composition of lyddite. As a mat ter of fact it's preparation is, we believe, a government secret, though it is generally known among experts on explosives that it consists largely of melted picric acid. That this is not the complete story of the composition of lyddite is, however, clear from (oddly as 1t may seem) some evidence given last week before the commission now making inquiry into the use of cooring matters and preservatives in food. In the course of this evidence one witness admit ted that yellow coloring matters were largely purchased without the slightest dis elimination for the purpose of giving d richness of appearance to milk and milk products. As rule no question was asked as to the injurious or non-injurious charac- ter of the dye so used.
 One of the best coloring matters for the purpose appeared to be Martius yellow | known also under the name of napthol yell low, narlhthalene yellow, Manchester yell
 low, golden yellow and saffron yellow. Chemically this substance is dnitro-alpha- naphthol, which is prepared by a series of chemical operations from naphthalene, the substance of which chrystalizes in gas mains The principal chemist of the gov ernment laboratory assured the witness that this was an important constituent in the making of lyddite. Martus yellow is itself slightly explosive when heated, but, of course, no alarm need be raised on this account when it becomes known that it is used in milk and milk products to impart to them a rich, creamy color. Physiolog- ical experiments, however, have shown that Martins yellow is an extremely inju- rious coloring matter and should be wholly prohibited. Further, it may lead to highly injurious results by merely coming in con- tact with an abrasion of the skin.

BROsIUS TOO STRONG
Bur ts His suspenders Every Time He
 Speaks

The Baltimore Herald says that some time ago a party of congressman were on their way to Baltimore to attend banquet. Congressman Allen, "the wit of the house." and MT. Brosius were in the delegation. Mir Allen, who was well acquainted with the propensity of the Pennsylvania member to rant during a speech, made bet that Mr. Brosius would fracture his suspenders during the response to the toast to which he was assigned. And, sure enough, the catastrophe occurred. During his talk, MT. Brosius had just warmed up' and was ap- pealing to ''heaven above'' in some connec- ton, when there was a significant snap.
 There they go!'' yelled Allen, and he was right.
 The laugh went around the board when the joke became known, and MT. Brosius curtailed his remarks to an unusual de- gree.
 q knew he would do it." said MT. Allen afterward He never makes speech in the house that he doesn't have to buy a new pair of suspenders He's too strong for congressman, anyhow"
