The KITCHEN WORK.

Constant routine in the kitchen will
make for smooth living throughout the
house, for of all other servants a cook must
know precisely what Is expected of her,
and she requires time for executing the
orders given. No nice cooking is done
without some preliminary preparation.
and failure to allow for this will arouse
irritation in the kitchen that will spread
even to my lady's chamber
An experienced housekeeper finds that
the best way of insuring the meals being
served as she orders them is to write
each menu. For this she has small PAD
of paper and pencil.
The best time for ordering is directly
after breakfast. When the kitchen table
has been cleared the cooks mind is free
for the time and she can give 1t to pre-
parations for the day to come.
Beyond question three meals, lunch.
dinner and the breakfast for the next
day, should be ordered at once Nothing
is more annoying to any COOK than TO
have housekeeper coming In and out OF
the kitchen at frequent and unexpected
intervals 1t creates in the woman
mind either a sensation of being watched
or the feeling of inadequacy on the part
of the mistress. Briefly, 1t is not routine,
and for that reason alone is undesirable.
The ordering done. one of these little
slips of paper is headed Lunch and on
this the housekeeper, after consultation
with the cook, writes the dishes that are
to be prepared for that meal. Dinner
heads another slip. and that menu Is
written out in detail. each dish being
specified breakfast" is at the top Of
the last slip, and that. too, is detailed in
writing. BY this means there is no pos
sibIe likelihood of any confusion in re-
gard to what is to be served each time,
and the cook il not obliged to tax her
mind to remember the menu. BY consult
ing il she knows precisely what is to be
prepared, and the amount OF discussion
and misunderstanding that is saved by
this simple method Is beyond the telling
A cook should never be allowed TO oruer
either from the butcher or grocer without
first consulting the hOusekeeper. The re-
striction Is not reflection upon the
woman'S honesty. but is enforced because
otherwise there will be no keeping track
of the bills. The cook should be inform
ed of the rule Immediately upon entering
her new place.
Once orders for the day have been given
they should be changed only for i'm
portant reasons, which may be under
stood readily by the cook herself
Changes are confusing to her, and some
times seriously interfere with good cook
ing-a fact that will naturally irritate I'M
less she understands the cause.

High Honor For
Emmett J. Scott
Private Secretary to Booker 7. Washington
Appointed on uberian Commission.
One Of three Greatest Secre.
taries Of the Times.
Says Carnegie.
By R. W. THOMPSON.

The first Negro to be honored official
ly by the new administration at Wash
ington is Emmett ]. Scott, a young
man who has earned international
fame as the private secretary to DR..
Booker T. Washington, principal of
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial insti-
tute.
Mr.. Scott has been named as a men,
ber of the commission provided by
congress to investigate the financial,
Industrial and agricultural resources
of the Liberian republic The appoint
ment came to Mr. Scott wholly unso-
licited After the conclusion had been
reached that Dr. Washington, for good
and sufficient reasons, could best serve
the nation and his race by remaining
in the United States, President Taft,
having personal knowledge Of Mr..
Scott's exceptional fitness for the deli
cate and responsible duties connected
with the Liberian inquiry, rendered
him place on the commission and,
in fact. strongly urged him to accept
it. The appointment meets the hearty
approval of the press and public
throughout the hand, and all agree that
a more competent man could not have
been found for the work in hand.
The other two commissioners are W.
Morgan Shuster of the District Of
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-04-17

greatest private secretaries Of the
times, the other two being the late
Daniel s. Lamont and George B. Cor
telyou, both Of whom rose by sheer
merit from the ranks to the proud
estate Of cabinet members.
In many ways Mr. Scott has rem
dered substantial service to his race.
AS corresponding secretary of the IA
tional Negro Business league he has
been instrumental in bringing both
known and unknown material uplift-
ers to the front through the carefully
balanced annual programs prepared
under his general direction. His un-
erring judgment Of men and keen dis
elimination, as well as tactful encour-
agement Of the worthy and progress
I've. have been the means Of Quickening
the commercial instinct Of the race
everywhere and developing hundreds
Of solid business enterprises among
the Negro people. To him is due the
entire credit Of calling the attention
Of the war department to the advisa-
bility Of having Negro bandmasters
for Negro regiments In the United
States army and for securing from
former President Roosevelt the order
directing that the bands of all four Of
the colOred regiments should be here
after led by chief musicians Of their
own color, thus opening new and
valuable door Of opportunity to the
aspiring Negro musician. As versa
tile and well informed writer, Mr.. Scott
has contributed much readable matter
to the principal newspapers and maga.
zines Of both races In the United
States.
Mr.. Scott is happily married. His
beautiful home at Tuskegee Is pre-
sided over by a charming wife. and
five interesting children have come to
shed sunshine therein.
Mr.. Scott carries with him to Africa
the best wishes of united race, who
bespeak for him degree Of success
In keeping with his past record OF pro
ductive achievements. President Taft,
the people Of Liberia, the American
republic, the Negro race here and Mr..
Scott himself will all be just sharers In
the results that accrue from the work
Of this important commission.

advantages and seek to show think
Ing white men and women who still
have faith in him that. despite the
roseate hue which Is said to surround
his progress, he is not getting n square

have one unless there is an eclipse OF
faith and change Of heart among the
solid white men Of the United States
