TEACH SOLDIERS TO COOK.
Practical instruction ls Given Men
Detailed for the Service.

The proper cooking of the army
ration has long been serious prob
lem confronting army officers. The
employment of civilian cooks is not
permitted as it would entail too much
expense and it is not considered prac-
ucable to take so many civilian en-
ployes, not subject to military dis
cipline, into active campaigns with
the troops. It is, therefore, the Gus
tom to appoint from among the en-
listed men, bakers for each post, and
cooks for each organization, the men
so appointed receiving slightly in
creased compensation. The post or
organization commander who can find
among his soldiers a sufficient num-
Der who have had had enough expert
ence in baking or cooking properly
to perform these duties, considers
himself fortunate indeed. It more
often happens that such men cannot
be found, and then inexperienced men
must be detailed to do the work, and
poor baking and cooking with all their
attendant evils invariably follows.
1t was Capt. M. S. Murray, of the:
subsistence department., stationed at
Fort Riley as commissary officer, who.
nit upon the plan of giving practical
instruction in the kitchens of the.
troops and batteries stationed at the,
post. This plan was submitted to the.
war department for approval, and the
training school was established last
year.
The school was placed in charge of
Capt. Murray, and two civilians were
employed to assist in conducting the
theoretical and practical instruction
of the students. The course of in
struction covers period of four
months. Two classes of bakers and
two of cooks are continuously under
instruction, new class of bakers or
cooks entering on the fifteenth of
each month. They are detailed from
recruiting depots, and, after complet-
ing the course, are assigned by the
war department to regiments or posts
where their services are most
needed World To-day.

Unexpectedly Pocahontas sickened
and died. Her mission was fulfilled.
She had brought comparative peace be-
tween her fathers people and those of
her husband.
Her bereayed husband returned to
America, and their son, Thomas Rolfe.

and rose to high position. Many of
the oldest families of the "Old Domin-

A headmaster for half a century in
the Cambridge schools is the remarka-
BILE record of Ruel H. Fletcher. of the
Thorndike school. East Cambridge. He
has recently graduated his fiftieth
class from that school.
For fifty-eight years he has taught
school, beginning in 1849. He came to
Massachusetts in 1852, taught school
two years in Arlington, two years in
Quincy and then began his long serv-
Ice in Cambridge. That service was
started in the Otis school, for which a
new building was erected few years
after and the name changed to the
Thorndike school, SO that his service
has been practically in the one school.
When the city or Cambridge erect

years ago. unknown to him the pu-
pills of his school circulated a petition
that one OF the new schools be named
in honor Of the headmaster to whom
they were SO devoted. The decision

BOOST PRICES OF LABOR.
Natural Result Of American Demand
for Dates.

For long time the export OF dates
from the Persian gulf to America was
In the hands of one or two firms. Now
the field has been entered by others,
and during the past season six con.
Germs in Maskat were packing dates
for American exporters. This compe-
tition serves to keep the price well up,
as the date caravans come in from
the interior and sell their cargoes at
auction. Contracts for future delivery
are often made with growers and
money advanced, but even then deliv-
cries are usually made subject to the
prices prevailing at the time. There
has been some difficulty experienced
this year in securing labor to pack
the dates for the American market.
This work is done by women, and the
Increased trade resulted in q scarcity
Of hands and an increase Of wages. II
the situation exists again next year 1t
can probably be met by importing
labor either from India OF Baluchistan
for the packing season. which begins
In August and Is usually over early in
January at the latest.
