To those upon whom the burden Of the

THEOLOGY must be replaced by
ethics, dogma by deed, the ancient
books by the inspiration of the living

AN APOSTLE OF GOOD COOKING.

How much individual credit belongs
to Maria Parloa for the Improvement
which has taken place in American
home cooking within the last quarter
Of century it is difficult to say. But
that she was one of the foremost Of
the advocates of a saner diet and that
she contributed materially to Gu
linary reform of which the present
generation is enjoying the benefit ad-
mitS of no question. Miss Parloa was
one of the first to apply scientific meth
DDS to cooking and to instill the prin-
ciples of domestic economy in Amer
lean homes. Through her books and
lectures she carried on a propaganda
for sound digestion which made her
name household word. Bad cooking
has not been abolished. But it is I'M
doubtedly not so prevalent. The fry
ing pan is less and the broiler more in
evidence. Breakfasts have grown SIM
pier; they no longer burden the diges-
ton with many kinds of hot breads
and meats. More intelligence is put
into the preparation of food for the
table. The housewives efforts are now
concentrated on dinner, the postpone
ment Of which to the end of the day
has been gain for digestion.

Must Burn Slashings

Forest wardens are sending en-
couraging reports to General c. c.
Andrews, state forestry commits
sioner, concerning their efforts to
enforce the new law requiring
lumbermen 20 burn slashings says
a St. Paul dispatch. They find
that many of the small loggers are
ignorant of the law, but when con-
WINGED that they are liable to a
heavy fine for failure to obey it's
provisions they usually acquiesce.
The destruction of slashings,
meaning the branches, tops and
other refuse from trees felled for
lumber and other purposes, is re-
garded as one of the most import
ant means for preventing forest
fires. Officials of the department
of the interior have recognized the
value of this means of preventing
forest fires by requiring lumbermen
working on state lands to burn
all brush at the time of cutting
except during the months of April,
May, June, July, August, Septem-
Der and October.
Government officials have proved
to their own satisfaction that it is
feasible to burn brush of slashings
in winter and Immediately after
cutting. General Andrews has
instructed the fire wardens to prose-
cute all violations of the law to the
limit.

Hon. Martin A. Knapp, chairman Of
the interstate commerce commission,
believes there will be a tremendous
increase in railroad tonnage this fall,
and he doubts the ability of the car
riers to handle the goods. The great
crops and the general revival of bust
ness mean a big demand for freight
cars, with the likelihood of scarcity
and congestion similar to the condi-
tons of two and three years ago. Pru.
dence would dictate, as the Wall Street
Summary suggests, that the railroad
companies make immediate provision
for an increase of equipment. In
deed, that journal maintains that there
should be always reserve of 20 per
cent. of the number of cars in COM
mon use, for the periods of emergency
and pressure. The car builders should
get move on, and thus keep the track
clear for the procession of reviving
business.

The sleepiest old hamlets that dot

None of these are essentials.
Well, what is that makes town,
anyway? Just one thing unity
of the people, the existence
of common bond which causes
business and social enemies to put

to boosting the town. No town
