! A benefit play for the Sacred Heart
church, March 7th, at the orera
house. The Metropolitan Dramatic
Club will present 1.-THE Parish
PRIEST the drama made famous by
the world-renowned actor Dan Sully.
The play will be presented in it's
entirty by cast carefully selected
with q view Of giving each player the
part best suited. This is ono of the
few productions endorsed by the
clergy and this fact alone guarantees
Its wholesomeness. One rarely sees q
pastoral play without a william or an
old will that carries the audiance
from climax to climax as skilful]y and
interesting as this one does. From all
reports the people of this city will
have rare treat at it's production
The production is under the personal
direction Of B. j. Scott, of New

.perlence in his profession. The ad-

In this article I will discuss the preservation
of foods and suggest simple methods for the
detection of chemical preservatives. The march
of civilization is accompanied by a growing ten
dency to increase the number and variety Of
foods. This has led to the adoption of methods
Of preservation that would make possible the
preparation of foods near the place of their pro-
ducton in such a way to make them available
when they cannot be obtained in the fresh state,
and in localities where they would be otherwise
unknown Many of these methods old.
Some of them antedate civilization itself Among
such may be mentioned preservation by drying,
and by means of salt, vinegar sugar ana WOOD
smoke Articles preserved can be dlstln-
guished readily by the taste and are never con-
fused with fresh foods
The canning of foods has been praGtised for
more than a century. This method is now as
well known as the first one mentioned, and for
generations has been extensively used in the
household. Commercially, the canned goods in
dustry has reached enormous proportions ana
has accomplished much in broadening the menu
for the winter months. Food so prepared re-
sembles fresh food more closely than that pre-
pared by any OF the first class methods but'
like the latter, cannot from it's nature be sold
for fresh food
A third class of preservation consists OF uuIz-
ing low temperature-ice freezing mixtures, ana
more recently cold storage houses and rooms
cooled by pipes Of cooled brine Here we ap-
proach much more closely TO the fresh 1000
Here the consumer often cannot distinguish the
preserved fruit from the fresh. With some
articles ne may be deceived TO his disadvantages
Other articles improved by their sloIase
and are superior the fresh. In any case ooio
storage is a temporary means OF preserVANon'

as their work bears any relation to the percentage

exists in the desertion among messmen where the
percentage is 315. But messmen are not among the
hardest worked of the enlisted force in addition
to which they live better than the rest or their
associates on shipboard. There is n foreign ele-
ment among the meSsnen however, which probably

NAVAL PUNIsHMENTS.

In the matter OF punishment the extent ana
character of the measure of control are regulated
by the statutes No commanding officer mas the
right withhold pay unless the man is absent
without leave and. of course. cannot expect
and does not receive pay for services not rendered
It is natural for persons who are punished to think
that they treated unjustly. but 1t is In the
interest of discipline that offenders shall be pun
shed. Line officers insist that there is no Justii-
cation for implying that the pay OF any man Is
arbitrarily unjustly withheld or that any sailor
is compelled to forfeit any part OF his COM
pensation. This only be done by process
OF court martial by long system Of reports
and official action. which includes full examna-
ton Of the in Washington. 1t takes six
months Of paper work and examination Of the
by many officers before any loses any
part Of his pay. Line officers say also that the
system of discipline in the American navy is much
more lenient than in any other navy in the world
The question Of the relations between Junior Of
hcers and the sailors is a delicate for service
discussion, but perhaps the most unprejudced
opinion was expressed by high ranking officer
the active list in Washington, who has a reputa-
ton OF knowing how to handle men. He said:
There are, or course. young men in the navy who
might be described naughty. They enjoy the
distinction or command and relish the opportunity
Of giving orders and, doubtless some Of them are
careless Of the feelings of their subordinates

ccding methods.
Finally we have the so-called chemical pre-
servatives"-such as salicync acid, benzoic
acid, borax, formaldehyde suphtes and
fuolIds. Foods preserved with these sub
stances have every appearance of being fresh
and untreated. The detection Of chemical pre-
servatives therefore, becomes a matter of i'm
portance.

Line officers Of the navy who have had expert
ence at sea and who understand perfectly the
ditions attaching the life OF the enlisted force
admit the justice of of the criticisms made
by the enlisted men who were interviewed by The
Tribune reporter. 1t is realized, of course, that
there is always the persona! equation to be reciS-
oned with both on the side OF the Jacky and the

There is naturally difference of opinion regarding

by Rear Admiral A s. Barker L. S. N, until re-

Fleet may be regarded best. Expressing the
service views, he said: The navy is 10 be con-

THEIR HEALTH GOOD.

The medical officers Of the navy have their
theories Of deseron, too, and they read The Trih-
une interviews with great interest. They naturally
do not sympathize with the complaints, and they
look al the situation from a professional
standpoint. They say that greater liberty should
be given the sailor and that greater should be
exercised in not keeping a ship too long
