FOOD WARMED WITH LIME.
New Invention for Preparing Soldiers
Rations with the Applica-
ton of Water.

The United States government.
while exercising great care in eouip-
ping her army, has been equally as
conslderate in supplying the most mod.
ern foodstuffs for it's consumption.
Ihe serious problem to be contended
with is the furnishing of materials
that have large nutritive constituents
and at the same time can be conyen-
sently carried. Commissary General
weston. according to Washington re-
port, few days ago said that one of
the best concentrated rations vet
round is a mixture Of fresh beef and
fresh vegetables; food that is health
tul and palatable, and which can be-
supplied to the troops wherever they
go. This preparation is put up in her.
metlcally sealed cans, which preserves
lts FRESHNESS for an indefinite period.
Only the best parts of the animal are
used, and the vegetables compounded
are onions and potatoes. Experiments
are now being made with this new
food, and SO far it has been found very
satisfactory
The war department has recently
been making some experiments with
self-heated canned goods which are a
new invention. They come in double
jacket cans, the space between the two
jackets being occupied by unslacked
lime. All that has to be done to heat
these is to punch hole in the bottom
at the proper place and pour in lit
tie water. An intense heat is gener-
ated Immediately. and within few
moments the contents are ready to
serve. ThiS pI is especially
adaptable for he., offee. Candy
is another material not lpplied as
regular ration, but is furnished to the
soldiers at cost. Certain things are
found not to be absolutely requisite
as necessaries, but nevertheless are
deemed essential for the comfort of
the men.
Another difficulty encountered by
this department has been the supply
ing of ration satisfactory for emer-
gency purposes, for the use of soldiers
who have been detached from their
commands. Under such circumstances
they are obliged to carry with them in
their haversacks their supply of food.
A ration which has been finally decided
upon for this purpose has the form Of
sort Of cartridge packed in boxes and
weighing a trife over a pound. Each
one of these boxes contains enough
food for day, which is divided up in
oiled paper. These packets contain a
yellowish meallike stuff which can be
converted into soup. This preparation
is composed of two parts parched
wheat and one third evaporated beef.
Eggs concentrated by evaporation are
also now being used in enormous guam
titles.

THE STEAMSHIP STEWARD.
To Be Known as Man He Must Be
Studied in the "Glory
Hole"

About 5000 stewards are afloat on
the rolling seas of the broad Atlantic
at this minute-fully half of them en-
ployed on the great ships of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company.

ten-shilling tip at the end of the voy-
age.
But If you want to know the stew
ard as man you must study him in
the glory hole" Perhaps you are
wondering what that is. Let me tell
you about it; though if you wish to
know why it is called the glory hole
you must put your question to some
body older than am There is moth

you will recognize it as hole, and a

and seems almost as far. The Jacobs
ladder that leads to it, from far aft,
is so steep that.a mis-step might easily
mean sheer drop of 40 feet or so.
There, way down in the bowels of
the ship, you discover that the glory
hole consists of five or six good-sized
rooms, all filled full of tiers of gas
piping hunks where the sleepers lie
side by side. Under these tiers of gas
piping hunks the stewards boxes are
slowed. There is no other furniture.
The glory hole is essentially sleep
ing room, and the steward has little
time for anything else when there.
Yet the linen on the 3O-inch-wide
hunks is good and clean. and the
"hole'' is scrupulously neat, for one
man is detailed to keep it SO; and, in.
deed, it is inspected daily

the same shades. AS say, you should
not judge only by the hair; complexion
and health have great deal to do with
the matter.
1t is a mistake to think that black is
universally becoming; it is, however,
for the debutante-very often the most
effective thing she could wear. Older
women look quite charming in silver
gray and white. do not think black
for ordinary wear is becoming to the
woman whose hair is turning gray,
though. of course, a stately dame with
snow-white tresses, dressed in the eve
ming in black velvet, looks perfectly
charming. But then, as always say
black at its best is beautiful, while
black from the useful" aspect is sell
dom really nice.
The empire sleeve is very effective

from the puff, caught up in fantastic
fashion at the wrist. Believe me,

not lay too much stress upon these
points, for the picture frock of to-day
and the revival of these old-world
modes can give many plain woman
an opportunity of becoming almos..
beautiful in the evening. So many
women are picturesque, though not in
the least good-looking. In tailor
made frock they can never achieve
more than tidiness and suitability, but
in the evening, clad in masses of lace
and chiffon, they can look ethereal, in
teresting, and almost beautiful. Con-
sequently, it behoves every woman of
this type to study carefully really ar
tistic dressing. and to blend fashions
of all periods until she arrives at what
suits her individual style.

Difficulties of Divorce,

Another case was that of Wichita
widow. Many years ago she was di-
vorced.from her first husband. Recently
she applied for pension on account of a
second husband who had died The
department discovered that she had
been divorced from Edward" Jones
instead of Edmond" Jones, mistake
having been made in divorce papers.
Now she is compelled to institute an
other suit for divorce against the first
husband in order to make the record
clear on the claim that she was the
legal wife of the man on whose account
she expects the pension. Kansas City
