SHORT But SWEET VACATION.

The Christmas Holiday season is the
most enjoyable time OF the year. Al.
most every University student will 90
home to visit friends and have them
visit him. Those who live near
enough can get home in time to hang up
their stocking along with those younger
brothers and sisters. And if they
have not become too dicnitied they will
wake up at four in the morning to get
their presents. Then they will eat
all the candy. nuts and oranges and
creep back to bed to sleep until time to
get ready for church
Visions OF feasts and parties will
mingle with the words of the preacher
The best the market and cellar affords
will be offered in place OF the board
ing house meals OF the past three
months. The finest cans of fruit have
been kept on the top shelf for this
occasion. The hams are properly
smoked or sugarcured for Use with eggs
and buckwheat cakes. Christmas din
ner is usually the scene of a family
reunion. The young folks come in
from their work in the city or college
to visit father and mother
During the week there will be sev-
eral parties which the student will at
tend with his best girl These social
functions will be heartily enjoyed be-
cause of their contrast to the weeks
of examining and the examinations to
follow. The watch party is great
event for then the head of the house
doesn't appear at 10 o'clock with the
news that it is time To 90. At this
party the student can play games. haze

tions. He will tell his friends on get
ting back to school that he has had the
best time of his life but he really en-
joys working hard at his studies with
refreshed mind and body.

FIRELESS COOKERS

ITIERE are few kitchens now tha
do not boast some kind of fireles:
cooker. home made or manufactur
ed. Although the knowledge of fireles:
cookery only reached American house
keepers recently, it is by no means q
modern method.
! 1t is generally conceded that Norway
was the birthplace of this wonderful
and easy way OF cooking. Many Nor.
wegians. peasants principally. cooked
leven in our great -grandmOthers' day
almost all heir foods by starting them
over the fire. then packing them in d
hay box or even in the family feather
bed
The women then were free to 20 to
the fields. sure of finding a hot dinner
on their return. Danish women. so
fond of an all days iaunt in the cOun-
try, remember the fireless box of their
childhood days. On starting for a pic
mic it was filled with good things and
supplied hot palatabe dishes at the
end Of the drive.
The official entry of fireless cooking
into America dates back some six years.
An army report came to Washington
from Germany stating that food for the
soldiers had been cooked with great
success without fire. Orders We're sent
from headquarters to Fort Riley. Kan..
where there is an army training school
for bakers. that experiments be made
at once along these lines.
The fireless cooker saves money time
and fuel. 1t does away with odors in
the kitchen and increases the disesti-
bility and palatableness OF many foods.
1t is a friend of all housekeeperS. of
the invalid. the eamper-out. the sum
mer cOttager. the working woman and
the woman living in rooms.
The odd. cum5rous hay boxes have
been replaced by neat. compact cook
ers There are several kinds now to be
had of different sizes. materials and
shapes.
There are fireless cookers OF polished
wood. tightly packed with non-conduct-
ing material and furnished with heavy
granite cooking vessels with aluminium
covers. There are fireless cookers of
shining metal. well packed between
the walls and furnished with heavy
covers that clamp closely. There is
also a cooker that boasts a heated plate
that adds considerably to the high tenn
rerature of the foOds.-Housekeeper

President Hadley, "a reform in the

them The newspapers are the chief
agents in forming public opinion. This
used to be done by courts of law and
by political assemblies. but the modern
newspaper has supplanted both as a
forum of public discussion and as a
means of public education.
A hundred years ago intelligent men
used to learn about the workings of
the law either by serving on juries or
by reading the decisions of the Judges:
but the jury service is today managed
so badly that in most of the states no
intelligent man wishes to serve on a
jury if he can help it. And if he does
have to serve on a jury he does not
gain an understanding of the law as
much as contempt for the wav in
which criminal lawyers are allowed to
misapply it. And most of the decisions
OF present day judges on questions like
railroad management. or the equities
OF taxation. are so much occupied with
Precedents and SO little actual facts
that they have very slight effect on
public opinion.
Nor do the people get the instruc.
tion from a political speech which they
did two or three generations ago. Pc.

fected are: Maine. New Hampshire.

BE that the same changes will be made
in the other states. thus affecting a.
3l2 postmasters.
There are two important political re-
suits which may he expected to follow
this act. First it will probably tend
10 intrench the administration so firm

friends will have little difficulty in Sc
curing denomination four Years from
now. In the second place it will take
away large federal patronage from the
various congressman. This fact has al
ready stirred up considerable oppo>i
tion in Congress to the action of the
President and may result in an attempt
to block the act by declaring it IAN
executive usurpation."
The action OF President Roosevelt is
regarded as one of the most important
moves since the beginning of the civil
service system. 1t i thought by some
to mark a coming revolution in the
entire postal service. which will be of
great help to the postal service.

One of the most interesting develop
ments in newspaper policies within the
last few Years is the growing tendency
to depart from blind partisan loyalty.
to serve the good of the country as a
whole. Time was in the United States.
when the organs of the defeated party
came ont after the elections draped in
mourning and predicting disaster be
cause their particular party failed to
win. Since the defeat of Bryan in
November OF this year. there has hardly
been a Democratic paper in the country
that has not cheerfully taken up the
task of trying to restore confidence
and the conditions of prosperity exist
ing before the financial depression
Democratic newspapers vie with Re
publican papers in prai>ing 'Bill'' Taft.
in predicting an early return sof pros
perity. in boa>ting OF increased bank
resources. the launching of new bust
ne-, concerns, and the re-opening of
closed mines and factories. This new
spirit is noticeable no; only in the
metropolitan press but in the country
newspapers as well. 1t speaks well for
the broad patriotism that is growing
in America in place OF the Old-time
blind fealty to party organization.
