heightened rapidisy, go that by dinner
the food 10 ready to be eaten.
This innovation vas firss employed
at number Of military posts in tho
West, and succeeded so admirably
that the war department. determined
to havo all Of the regiments while
proceeding this sumner to the various
manouver osm2s cook their food in
this way in order that the method
might be given a thorough and ex-
haustive test.
There is no doubt about its being
practical, for the poorer rcoplo of
Europe, in order to save fuel, have
prepared their food in this way for
countless years. A number Of the
European armies have also adopted
his method Of cooking.
The process, as can be easily seen,
would prove invaluable during time Of
war. Instead Of several valuable
hours lost each day in preparing
food, the only time consumed would
be u short while ut breakfast. Or if
forced marches were the order Of
things, ipstead Of having to live of
OF hard tack and canned goods, hot
food could be enjoyed by the soldiers
at al! meals.--Atianta Journal.

Fire!ess Method of Cooking.

A method Of cooking food, which
neoessitates the use of practically no
FIRE, 10 being employed by the Seven
teenth. regiment on the march it is
making to Chickamauga Park.
By this means the soldiers can have
hot food at every meal, and not be
compelled to kindle fire at any
time during the day with the excep.
>tion Of at breakfast.
The method is o simple one when
explained, and has been employed by
the peasants Of Europe since time i'm
memorial, but it was only a. short
while ago that it was introduced into
the United States army and is now
only in an experimental stage.
In the morning when breakfast is
prepared, whatever is to be had for
dinner and supper is placed in an
earthenware vessel, and allowed to
cook for few minutes. The food aud
vessel are then Transferred. to an air
tight receptacle which is placed in
one OF the commissary wagons.
A receptacle containing tne food
and earthen vessel being air tight
allow no heat to escape and as the
day advances and the soldiers .rudse
over miles of ground the food cooks
slowly although there is no fire near
1t. By the time night has arrived the
food is thoroughly done and when the
soldiers sit down toetheir meal they
are able to enjoy hot supper withou.
