There Is no branch of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that OF preparing food for the sick
n feeble. The purpose of food at
all times is to supply material for re-
pairing the waste which is constant
iy going on in the vital economy; and
1t ought always to be chosen
with reference to it's nutritive value.
But during illness and co~nvalescence,
Wnen the waste is often much great
er and the vital powers less active. it
is OF the utmost Importance that the
100 should be of such character as
viii supply the proper nutrition. Nor
is this all; an article of food may
contain all the elements of nutrition
in such proportions as to render it a
wholesome food for those in health.
and not be a proper food for the sick.
for the reason that it's conversion into
blood and tissue lays too great a tax
upon the digestive organs. Food for
the sick should be palatable, nutri-
tious and easily assimilated. To dis
criminate as to what food will supply
these requisites, one must possess
some knowledge of dietetics and phys
iology, as well as of the nature of the
illness with which the patient is suf-
fering; and such a knowledge ought
to be part of the education of every
woman, no matter to what class of so
ciety she belongs.
Hot buttered toast, tea, rich jellies
and other dainties so commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles of diet which they
could partake. AS a rule, elaborate
dishes are not suitable.
S~crupulous neatness and care in all
the minute particulars of the cooking
and serving of food for invalids will
add much to its palatableness. The
clean napkin on the tray, the bright
silver and dainty china plate, with
perhaps a sprig of leaves and flow
ers beside it, thinly sliced bread, toast
or crackers and the light cup partly
filed with hot Cruel, are far more APP
petizing to the invalid than coarse
ware, thickly cut bread and an over.
flowing cup of Cruel, though the cook
ing may be just as perfect. So far as
practicable, the wants of the patient
should be anticipated, and the meal
served, a surprise.

RECIPES.

Steamed Rice.-Look over and thor
oughly wash one cup of rice. Drain,
spread lightly on a shallow dish and
dry in the oven Even should it be-
done. Introduce the rice into two
cups of boiling water, place the dish
containing it in a steamer, and allow
1t to cook one hour without stirring.
Serve with a sauce prepared by rub
bling ~well-cooked dried apples through
a %colander, and afterward eVaporat-
ing, il necessary, to the consistency
of marmalade.
Graham Bread.-Take a little less
than one-fourth cake of compressed
yeast, dissolved in a little milk, and
add new milk, scalded and cooled to
%lukewarm, to make one pint. Add one
pint Of white flour; beat very thor
oughly and set to rise. When very
light, add three and one-half cupfuls
of sifted Graham -four, or enough to
make a dough that a be nodded.
Knead well for half an hour. Place
in a clean, slightly oiled bread bowl,
cover, and allow 1t to raise. When
light, shape into a loaf: allow it to
raise again, and bake.
Cream Crlsps.-Into two and one
half cups of cold cream or rich milk
sprinkle slowly with the hands, beat
ing meanwhile to incorporate air, four
cups of best Graham flour, sifted with
one-half cup of graduated sugar. Add
flour to k cad; about two and one
fourth cups will be required. When
well %kneaded, divide into several por-
lions, roll each as thin as a knife
blade, cut into squares, prick well with
a fork, and bake.
Ribbon sandwiches.-Spread sew
eral slices Of bread with butter and
some dark colored filling. Pile on top
of one another and gently press to-
gether. With a very sharp knife cut
rather thin slices from top to bottom.
There will be a striped appearance
and a decided palatabillty.

Wa and Peace,

During the civil war, as near as can
BE told, 44,23S Union soldiers were
killed in battle, and 4 1926 died of
Wounds. The Confederate losses are
imperfectly recorded, but were Ger.
tainly not greater than the Union.
Doubling the foregoing figures and al.
viding by four gives a yearly loss from
wal Of 46,722 lives.
Deaths in the Union army from dis.
ease and unknown causes were 21O l..
400. Doubling and dividing by four as
above, this gives a yearly loss of los.
200 lives. Yet this was only 8 in 1000
of the population in 1860, whereas the
death rate from all causes. while mpcb
lower than forty years ago., vas still
over Is in 1000 in 1900. Hence we
cannot assume that the soldiers who
died of disease would not have died
had there been no war.
OF course all this does not prove
that wal is not a great evil. But II
does prove that those who argue
against war ignore the fact that n is
little, If any more, destructive of I'm.
man life than the daily work of peace

Glorious Thirteenth uIinois

May 9, 1861, the Thirteenth Illinois
regiment was mustered in. Its subse.
quent history was a glorious one and
the veterans of the organization who
stilI live have wonderful memories
over which they love to linger. At
Missionary Ridge on November %.
1901, the Thirteenth bore the brunt of
the hghting of the famous Fifteenth
corps. The terrible struggle at O
out Mountain, the conflict at Chatta-
nooga, the fight for Lookout Rock. on
which h Thirteenth first planted the
coiors, and the hand-to-hand struggle
on Chickamauge Creek all form part
Of the records of this regiment.
During the fighting at Chickamauga
the standard-bearer of the regiment
was killed and five minutes later tbe
man who took his place was also kill.
ed. But the flag was saved and now
with the blood of both these men upon

state house at Springfield.
In the progress of the fight at Ring
gold Lieutenant Joselyn, with his com.
pany, made a dash into the very Ger.
ter of the Eighteenth Alabama reei.
ment and took its battle flag. 1t was
at this place that the regiment lost
Lieut.. Col. Partridge, Major Bushnell
and Capt. Blanchard within ten min
utes, and several times it was in dan.
ger OF being cut to pieces. Once dur.
ing the day it held a position single
handed against seven southern regi.
ments, and when the fighting was over
Sherman and Hooker both personally
commended the magnificent bravery
OF the Thirteenth, Sherman in his dis.

ious style, charging time after time in
the face of grape n canister that II

against. and displaying in every part

Disinfection.


The d%isinfection of clothing is /,
matter which every one should un
derstand; Ordinary boiling will de
stroy all sorts of dangerous germs
The boiling should be continued hall
an hour. Clothing which cannot be
boiled should be burned or disinfected
by sulphur or formalin.
Rooms must be d~isinfected by the
last-named means and by thorough
scrubbing with strong. hot soapsuds
Open doors and windows as widely
as possible so as to allow the admis.
sion of the largest possible amount OF
light and the freest circulation of air.
Remove the old paper from the
walls, and burn It. Wash the bare
walls with strong soapsuds. and then
apply whitewash to the ceiling.
Cleanse the woodwork with a solution
of fresh chloride of lime. one pound
to the gallon.
Remove the carpet from the floor,
the bedding from the bed. and every
other fabric from the room, and thor
oughly disinfect them before replac-
ing.
Ordinary scrubbing, whitewashing
and ventilation are useful and neces-
sary, but are not sufficient. Disin-
lection is required. One of the most
convenient and effective means of dis
infection is fumigation by the burning
OF common sulphur. The following is
the best method of doing this:
Inf, n k.I 49,
water to the depth of an inch. Place
in the vessel two bricks laid flatwise
and near together. Set upon the
bricks an old iron kettle. Put into
the kettle a proper quantity of flour
OF sulphur mixed with an equal auan-
tity Of pounded charcoal. The amount
required is four pounds for each n
thousand cubic feet of air. Mix with
the sulphur and charcoal a few pieces
Of newspaper, Before the sulphur is
lighted. all clothing and other articles
in the room should be so disposed of
as to allow the fumes of the sulphur
to come in contact with them to the
fullest extent. The efficiency OF the
fumigation is also very greatly in
creased by saturating the walls. and
everything the room contains. with
steam. This may be very readily
done by boiling water vigorously upon
a stove in the room for an hour or two
previous to lighting the sulphur. Dry
sulphur fumes will destroy growing
germs, but not the dried spores which
may be collected upon walls and in
cracks and corners When all is In
readiness, light the sulphur, and leave
the room as soon as 1t is evident that
1t is going to burn well. II the door
OF the room communicates with other
rooms, the crack around the door

Whether the CALLING yoke of disease
manifests Itself in the form of slavery

Instead of trying to induce nature
to convert dietetic wood, hay, and

the business man who wishes to live
as long as his country cousins must
begin to cultivate a taste for whole
some and nutritious foods. He must
discard pernicious drinks, whether
they are served rel the bar in the
form of whisky, or in his own home in
the form Of tea and coffee. He must
recognize as an inspired truth that

profts Of the Paekera.

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits Of .-e
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent Of the volume OF
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began.
throw considerable light IN this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of ST. -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of ifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent On the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
Of being in a trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in a busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills In the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but 1t ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits
OF the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
Industry will show the same result as
