cORDIN AND THE CANTEEN,

The persistency with which army Of
ficers insist that Congress made
great mistake when it abolished the
army canteen ought to cause that body
to make a thorough investigation of
the canteen question and legislate in
accordance with it's findings. If the
canteen is good thing, it ought to be
re-established, Notwithstanding the
protests of the prohibitionists. If it is
a bad thing, the act abolishing it ought
to be adhered to, even though every
officer and private in the army petit
tons for the canteen. Congress ought
to be able to find out what is best in
this matter for the soldiers.
We are led to make these remarks
by the statement of Gen. Corbin, in
his annual report, a synopsis of which
was published in our dispatches yes
terday. He says that the re-establish-
ment of the canteen is urged by the
great majority of the officers and men.
and by none more than those of pro-
nounced temperance views. He says
that the canteen contributes to the So
briefly, health and contentment of the
men.
If this statement is correct, and there
does not seem to be any reason for
doubling It, why should the wishes of
those who are opposed to all use of
alcoholic beverages be regarded in the
matter? They are not so much con-
cerned about the welfare of the SOL
diers as they are for the adoption of
their views in regard to intoxicating
liquors. 1t is safe assertion that they
know little or nothing about the con-
ditions surrounding the canteen. and
they don't inquire about it. They have
carried their point and that is all they
care about. The fact that there is more
drunkenness now among the soldiers
than when the law permitted canteens,
and that there are more minor offenses
assertions, has no weight with them.
That being the case, it is the duty of
Congress to deal with this matter from
the standpoint of reason. from the
standpoint of what is best for the SOL
diers and for the army. These WELL
meaning reformers ought not to be al
lowed to have a dominating influence
in a matter about which it is not pos
sible for them to be as we'll informed,
as army officers.

methods of the large breweries here

ing over the Rupert brewery the con-
versation turned on the privilege &C
corded to employees to indulge in the

great surprise they learned that there
was no restriction placed upon the men.
But are you not afraid that their
over-indulgence might interfere with
their work?" Col. Jacob Rupert, the
host, was asked.
"Oh, not at all. No amount of beer
that they drink can affect our men,"
replied the Colonel. why, we have a

least effect"
This statement called forth such an
expression of doubt that the foreman
was summoned.

tlemen seem to doubt that you can
drink pail of beer without stopping.
Now, 1 want you to fill one of your
big pals, bring it in here, and prove
what 1 have said"
This was done, and, without turning

tents of the pail.

of Juliet before the season closed, and,
instead of mere Congratulations he
asked her if she could not double up

THE DOOM OF tue KITCHEN.

Recently the Morning News ven
tured the prediction that before a.
great many years the family kitchen,
as It, has been known for hundreds of
years, would become in cities hardly
more than a memory. In isolated
dwellings it must, of course, continue
to be an institution, but in thickly
populated communities the kitchen
seems doomed by the modern tendency
towards concentration, reduction of
cost and better living. Having adj
Vanced this view, it is with consider
able interest that we note in Good
Health, journal whose mission is in
dicated by it's name, an article along
precisely the same line by Dr. David
Paulson. He asserts that the move
ment towards the abolition of the
family kitchen has not only begun but
is well advanced, in substantiation of
which assertion he invites attention to
the large and increasing number of
ready-prepared food products on sale
at the grocery stores. And almost
without exception these articles are
better prepared and more palatable
than are similar articles prepared in
the average home kitchen. Food fac
tories are now turning out soups,
meats, preserves, cereals, nut products.
etc, ready to be served. BY means of
a little oil or gas stove, on small
table in one corner of the room, the
housewife may now serve a very good
meal in few minutes from tins and
glass jars from her cupboard.
The evolution of the kitchen will
continue, to the advantage of all con-
cerned, until regular meals are served
to families from central depot Just.
as families are served with milk by
the dairy and bread by the baker. The
reform movement has been slow, but
its pace may be quickened hereafter.
In the average household kitchen the
process of cooking is practically the
same as it was century ago. The
farmer uses modern utensils for plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting his
crop, but the cook employs precisely
the same kinds of pots and pans that
were in use when the clothes of the
family were spun ana woven by hand
And the bread is just as heavy and the
fried meats just as indigestible now as
they were then.
In the food factories a scientific
study is made of the best methods of
preparing and cooking the products
And so it would be in the consolidated
kitchen or food depot to which we
have referred. That food can be pur-
chased and prepared more economical
ly in large quantities needs hardly to
be asserted, the fact is so we'll known.
THE Kitchen" says DIR. Paulson, like
the spinning-wheel and the old-fash-
Toned reaper, must sooner or later be-
come merely a relic of by-gone age.
There will be those who will deplore
the disappearance of the kitchen and
the home cooking. just as there were
some who lamented the displacement
of the candle by the lamp, the lamp by
gas and gas by the electric light; but
labor saving devices and modern in
ventive genius are invading the kitch-
en-, and its days will soon be num-
bered."

the rear seats from those in front. or
to the floor, towards the rear part of
the car-so that whites and blacks are
practically huddled together in the
same car. At the hours OF
the day when the traffic is
heaviest the part of the cars set apart
for the whites is crowded beyond the
point of comfort while the part for
the blacks is, as a rule, comparatively
empty. Naturally the whites encroach
on the space allotted to the blacks, and
then there is often trouble, because the
blacks are never permitted to encroach
upon the space set apart for the
whites.
The inference from what is appear
ing in the New Orleans papers is that
there would be no grumbling if the law
should be repealed. A more satisfac-
tory law would be one requiring the

enforce satisfactorily a law requiring
the separation of the races in street
cars. Even If separate cars were
provided for the blacks there would be
trouble, because there would be a per-
centage of whites who would board the
cars intended for the blacks, particu-

you've heard of Charles NJ. Schwab,

a few Of his millions. Well, he tried
to shoe horse once and couldn't
do it.
ut was when he was a young man
just about old enough to earn his own
living. He used to take his fathers
horse to the shop of Pat Moran. the
horseshoer in Loretto village, to be
shod.
Time and time again he asked Pat
to let him nail on shoe. He seemed
to like the business.
All, g'wan,' Pat would tell him.
Yer can't shoe yerself. Yer daddy

But young Schwab stuck to it, and
finally one day the smith let him try
it. And he bungled it so that after a
