CHESS AND CHECKERS.

Mr.. H. N. Pillsbury has tie following to
say of the coming international tourna-
ment at Cambridge Springs, Pa: Having
decided to enter the forthcoming tourna-
ment myself, it has given me particular
pleasure to extend a personal invitation
to the European masters. whose presence
in this country Will Re nest welcome. 1t
is nov fourteen yelrs since such an event
took place, and during that time l have
been to Europe several times, partakinS
OF the hospitality of leading clubs in d.f
ferent countries. 1t is high time that we
in turn should have something to offer
these great players. The tournament is
being arranged on just such a scale as
that of the quadrangular match at st.
Petersburg in the winter of 1898, with
the difference that instead of four, six
teen players are to compete The patrons
and managers of this congress deserve the
greatest credit for the successful Ssfor.s
which have eliminated in SO praiseworthy
a project"
MI Pillsbury recently entertained the
members of the Brooklyn Chess Club with
match consultation, simultaneous and
blind.ol chess and checkers. In singles
he won from Zirn and Curt. AID drew
with Howell, but he lost to Fox, former
member of the Washington Chess Club In
the simultaneous play Mr.. Pillsbury won
ten games, lost three and drew two. He
gave a blindfold exhibition in the even
ing.
AT recent meeting OF the executive CON-
mittee of the local chess club it was de-
cded to hold a tourney, to begin about
November l, open to all chess players i'll
the District and to inaugurate the contlnu-
Gus Journeys to run thu OCgh the winter
months at the same time Some criticism
has been heard from the members that the
annual club championship tourney has been
neglected for the past two or three years,
and it is hoped that this feature Will be
resumed in the winter. Mr.. Sournin the
District champion, last won the cub cham
pionshp and therefore is the holder of
both titles at this time.

the Western Chess Association between

OUR SYSTEM OF COOKING.
Unscientific and the Outcome of
Ignorance.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman. in Success.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Success
With all this time, labor and expense
given to the feeding of humanity what are
the results? How are we educated in
What are our general food habits? To
these questions it may be promptly an
swered that no other animal is so deprayed
In its feeding habits as man; no other an
imal has so many diseases of the alimen-
tary system. The dog ranks next to us in
diseases-and shares our home cooking The
hog. which we most highly recommend. is
'corn-fed'-not reared on our remnants of
the table. The long and arduous labors of
pubiic-spirited men have lifted our stand
ards OF living in many ways. Public sani-
tation' beginning outside and slowly driven
in on the reluctant home has lowered our
death rate in the great filth diseases which
used to decimate the world. But the food
diseases are not lessened. Wrong eating
and wrong drinking are responsible for an
enormous proportion of our diseases and
our crimes, to say nothing of the still larger
average Of unhealthiness and unhappiness
in which We live. Can we get at the causes
of this department OF human trouble? and,
when found. do they bear any relation to
our beloved custom of home cooking and
home eating? We can-and they do. The
trouble springs from two main features
bad food. insufficient oversufficient. Ill
chosen or ill-prepared; and our own ig-
norance and lack of self-control.
Consider the bad food first. Food is pro-
duced all over the earth. passes through
many hands, and is finally selected by the
housewife. She is not trained expert
and can never be while she confines herself
to serving one house. She does not handle
quantities sufficient or cater for consumers
enough TO gain large knowledge of her bus
mess. She is, in nine cases out of ten. linn
tied financially In her buying power. These
conditions make the food market particu-
larry open to adulteration and to the Offer
ing Of inferior materials. The individual
housewife cannot herself discriminate in all
the subtleties Of adulterated food, nor has
she the time or the means TO secure expert
tests of her supplies Moreover, her sep
arate purchasing power is small that it
cannot intimidate the seller: he has ig-
norance and small purse to deal with, and
he deals with them accordingly.
