Hot Meats for lsuaslanxrroops.

In the recent news many people
have noticed one or two references to
the fact that timed meats Tor the Rus
sian troops are prepared by o process
which enables the contents OF each tin
to be served hot without q fire. This
boon Is obtained by having tina or
binary tins filed with food "tacketed'
In patent tins. The patent tin con-
tains water, together with chemical
mixture by means OF which the water
can be raised to boiling point In ten
minutes or quarter OF an hour. All
that is necessary to do when It is de-
sired to heat the food is to puncture
the top OF the patent tin, the chemical
mixture being thereby forced into the
water, which soon begins to boil.

alleged habit of eating rotten eggs.
The eggs, he says, are simply pre-

they taste somewhat like lobster. He
declares them one of the choices del

there are no better cooks in the world

CAN'T SHAKE DICE.

Some time ago, says the Black
foot Democrat, when the county
attorney called the attention OF
peace officers of the county to
Sec. 1914 of the Penal Code
which says in part that any
game played with cards, dice, or
any other device, for money,
checks, credit or other represen-
tative of value" is punishable by
a fine of not less than two hun
dred dollars or Imprisonment in
the county jail not less than four
months, a question was raised as
to whether cigars and drinks
were representatives of value,
whereupon the county wrote to
the attorney general for his OPP
inion regarding this particular
phrase and his reply is as fol
lows
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Boise, Ida, Feb. 3, 1905.
Il have your letter of January
9th, submitting the inquiry as
to whether or not the phrase, or
other representative of value"
as used in Sec. 4844 of the Penal
Code, relating to gambling, ETC.,
is sufficiently comprehensive to
include dice and card games
where the stakes are cigars and
drinks, and | have to advise you
that, in my opinion, this phrase,
together with the preceding
words of the section, namely,
money, checks, credit" is suffi-
Gent to bring within the statute
any gambling game where any
thing is at stake. Chief Justice
Shawn Commonwealth VS.. Tay-
Tor, Ia Gray, 26, says
"A game of hazard to deter
mine who shall pay for the beer
or other liquid to be drank, is
strictly playing for money; it is
to determine which party shall
pay a sum of money for the 9th
err"
| am of the opinion that it was
the intention of the legislature
to make it an offense to play a
gambling game where anything
of value is at stake; or in other
words, the phrase, "or other
representative of value" is equi-
valeat to saying, or anything
having value.
Yours respectfully,
