Railway Postal Clerks Like to See

1.-The railway postal clerks would

While the rule is well enforced in
this part of the country that much is
not true farther west. We have heard
of wrecks where postal clerks barely
escaped with their lives during the
past two or three years" he continued
where the accident was almost di-
rectly traceable to drink. It is claimed
that the railroads are enforcing the
rule to the best of their ability. but
when yoI see a little railroad town of
two thousand people with a saloon or
two for every five hundred inha bitants
directly connected with the railroad in
one way or another, one begins to
wonder who keeps these saloons going
If it is not the railroad men. The fact
is that many railroad men drink The
number of drinkers among railroad
men in Topeka, however, is much less
than it is in almost any railroad town

that one of the hardest problems he

that the percentage of railroad men
who drink is steadily growing less,

says, with any road and you viii find
they are sober lot of fellows. If
they were not they would not be old

stick. and the men who climb, leave
the stuff alone. Sometimes in the

men we are liable to get some drink

business slackens the drinking man
usually gets a Iayoff. and the man

WITHOUT FIRE.
Fort Riley Troops Win Learn to
Do Their Cooking.
Is an Application of the German
Hay Box Idea.
A GOOD NONCONDUCTOR
VIII Keep Out Heat in Summer
and Cold in Winter.
VIII Cut Down Coal and Wood
Bills to a Minimum.

Junction City, Kan, May 24.-Captain
Murray, of Fort Riley. has a scheme
that viii enable cooking to be done
without a fire, and the commissary de-
partment of the regular army is to give
1t a test. It is simply an application Of
the German hay box idea. If it works
all right it win be adopted.
1.-THE idea, said he, is a very simple
one. Have you ever been in a hay field
where the workers had a jug OF cider IN
Ger q haycOck to keep it cool? Have you
ever burrowed in the haymOw on a cold
winters night to keep warm-dOubtless
not from choice but from necessity?
Now what's the answer Very easy.
Hay happens to be good nOn-eOnductor
OF heat or cold. The cold jug is kept
at that temperature for a long time by
the hay securely packed about it while
the body loses none of its natural heat
for the same reason
Take a crock, fill it with water and
heat it on stove. Then pack it in hay
and within an hour it will be almost at
boiling point. The heat has been retain
ed and additional generated. Take the
same crock, fill it with the condiments
of a stew and let it stay on a stove for
about five minutes. Then place it in a
wooden box and securely pack it about
with hay and within an hour and
half or say two hours. your stew will
be cooked to a queens taste. Meat may
be boiled or vegetables cooked in the
same manner. Captain Murray has
cooked the eatables above mentioned IN
this manner in quantities sufficient for
a mess of eighteen or twenty men and
with the most encouraging results. He
has found that crooks retain the heat
much longer than tins Beans baked in
this manner have been turned out with
the real Boston flavor. Captain Murray
VIII try his experiments with food in
sufficient quantities for i full troop or
battery and viii also use ground cork
instead of hay as a packing.
IF the idea proves practicable, and
there seems no reason Why it should
not food can be cooked in this manner
when troops are in the field and when
a camp is made hot meal viii be ready
for serving without any wait. And how
about the working man and woman In
civil life2 The meal can be prepared
before going to work in the morning
and upon return it will be ready for
