Home Made FreIess Cooker
Mrs. Kirk Tells How to Make One.

The fireless cooker does It's work
on a scientific principle: the reten-
ton of heat by insulation. One
tightly closed vessel containing the
food TO be cooked is Enclosed within
another vessel, and between the two
is a tight packing Of any material
which is non-conductor of heat
and cold. "
Any combination OF cooking utensils
and packings which the housewife can
invent TO accomplish this end VIII
make a perfect fireless cooker.
Mrs. Alice G. Kirk. the well-known
writer and lecturer upon the fine ar;
Of cookery, described to The Times
investigator a successful homemade
fireless cooker invented by one of her
students.
A tin candy bucket with a close
fitting cover was used for the inner
vessel. This was set in an ordinary
galvanized pail provided with tight
cover. The space between the two
was filled with chopped cork. obtained
from the packing used for malaga
grapes. A sheet OF thick asbestos
was cut to fit the top OF the outer
pail, and the cover was fixed TO III

could be provided with an asbestos

This device follows exactly the prin

were very poor and could AFFORD no

One bright afternoon In the fall the
children were sent out to pick up
some sticks for firewood. They were
low-spirited as they started out, think

were that they could not have the
advantages OF other children.
AS they trudged along through the
forest. picking up the gay-colore1
leaves and bright red berries on the
bushes. they forgot their troubles, and
before they knew IL they were deep
in the woods. Then, remembering
their errand, they at once began gath
ering the wood that they had been
sent for.
Just then they both happened to
look up, and they saw an old log cab
In, with broken windows and half
blown down chimney.
The children quickly made their
way TO the cabin to inspect 1t. They
entered and saw a large, old-fashion-

THE DUTY ON TEA.

Senator Tillmans proposed amend
ment to the tariff bill providing for
2. duty of ten cents pound on tea
calls forth an expression from the
Columbia Record on the subject.
Mr.. Tillman's object, of course, is
to secure protection to the amount
of the proposed duty for the tea
growers of South Carolina, tea Gull
ture being one of that States infant
industries and "a very small industry
in comparison with the amount of
tea imported by the United States.
The output of the South Carolina
tea farms is twelve thousand pounds
annually, while the importation
reaches one hundred and ten million
pounds. A duty of ten cents
pound wouldeproduce eleven million
dollars of revenue to the Govern
ment, and the peoples tea bill would
he increased by the same amount.
AS to the price of tea and the in
crease thereof, which would follow
from the placing of this duty on the
article. our Columbia contemporary
says:
"Tea retails at from 25 cents to
$3.50 per pound, the most common
w used tea costing the consumer
from SO cents to 81, the South Caro-
lima tea selling at SO cents and 80
cents usually. 1t may be estimated,
therefore, that the average price of
tea per pound is 60 cents in this
country, and to add tax of ten cents
per pound means an increase of
is 2-3 per cent. in the price to the
tea consumer"
A tax of 16 2-3 per cent. is
heavy one to put on this article; but
that is not the greatest hardship. 1t
is the rate at what the Record says
is the average price; but we must
hear in mind that great many con-
sumers of tea buy a cheaper article,

JUSTICE TO THE SOUTH IN
HISTORY.

The Jacksonville Times-Union re-
Gently directed attention to the man
ner in which our American histories
exalt everything Northern and ig-
more or minimize everything South
ern, which has had the effect of de-
priving the South of credit Justly
due her in many places, and of caus-
ing the student of history to get
a wrong conception of historical
events.
The Tines Union fnstancedf the
landing Of the colonists at Plymouth
Rock, which has been so exalted that
most people believe that from this
country. Yet the truth is that the
Spaniards had made settlements in
Florida fifty years before the May
flower brought over her cargo of
colonists, John Smiths colony had
been settled in Virginia thirteen
years, and the Dutch had been in
New Amsterdam New York; six
years. In spite Of this our histories
make of the latter landing in New
England the leading event. and ig-
more the previous settlements or fail
to give them the proper credit of
priority
When resistance to the English
Government began our histories tell
at length of the Boston tea party"
as if the first overt act of resistance
had been committed in that place,
when in fact eight years before this
event overt resistance to the Eng
lish colonial taxes was started in
North Carolina. and the Bostonians
merely followed the example set by
North Carolinians. The Mecklen-
burg declaration of independence
preceded the Philadelphia declara-
ton. Had it been done in Massa-
chusetts the histories would have
amplified this fact. Being done in
North Carolina they preserve such 81
lence on the subject that only close
students of history are aware of it.

Atlanta, Ga, Thursday, June 3, 1909
Public Opinion Throughout the Union

and they, of course, are among the
poorer classes. These persons will
be taxed more than the average of
16 2-3 cents, while those who can
afford to buy that which sells above
the average price will be taxed much
less. With duty of ten cents per
pound on tea the person who buys
the 25-cent quality will pay tax of
40 per cent, while his more prosper
Gus neigh Dor who can afford the
$1.5O quality is taxed only 2-3 per
cent.
We can see no fairness or justice
in this If it is necessary to put
duty on tea to assist in providing
revenue for the Government, let it
be an ad valOrem tax, which will
bear alike on all consumers of the
article. If it is considered advisable
to establish this tax as a protection
TO the South Carolina tea growers
and to encourage more extensive
production, why tax to the extent of
40 per cent. grades used by the poor
er classes not coming in competition
with the products of the South Caro-
lima farms?
This is very clear instance where
if there is to be any duty at all It
should be ad valorem and not spe-
cific. The former would bear equal
ly on all classes, while specific duty
would make the tax on the cheapest
grade over six times greater than
that of the most expensive.
