~ HERE are three main reasons
for cooking-viz, ~ to develop
havors and make foods more
palatable. e. to make some
foods more digestible and 3D. to kill
germs. AS rule. simple methods for
preparing foods are preferable because
they preserve the original favor. Veg
etables, which will form the principal
subject Of this article, are better when
cooked simply without the accompani-
ment Of other ingredients.
In cooking any food the first great
essential to success is to be accurate
in method. Accuracy in measuring
and combining ingredients with a
knowledge of the effect Of heat on diff
ferent food materials, combined with
interest in the task, can almost always
be relied upon to insure successful
finished product. Indeed. it can be
safely stated that there Is no such
thing as luck in cooking. Success de-
ponds upon knowledge Of certain
physical and chemical phenomena
which always occur under certain con-
ditions. 1t is ignorance Of or lack Of
attention to these underlying principles
which results in so many unsatisfactory
and indigestible dishes being served on
our tables.
Composition Of Vegetables.
There are a variety of food mate
rails which cannot be classed as nutri-
tious. and yet they have distinct
value in the diet. For instance. fresh
fruit and vegetables are not especially
nourishing as far as making blood and
muscle and giving heat and energy are
concerned. but both should be given an
important place in the daily bill Of

Worcester. Mass, Apr. president
Taft has been and gone, and has left
the best kind of an impression on the
minds of the thousands of delegates
to the great railroad workers conven-
ton, whom he addressed for about 40
minutes.
The president left Washington Sat
urday evening in his private car, and
arrived Sunday morning at Millbury.
That town was his home during his
school and college days, and he spent
the morning there as the guest of Miss
Della Torrey, sister of the presi.
dents mother, who died there three
years ago while he was in the Philip.
pines. At 1880 o'clock Mr.. Taft en-.
tered an automobile and started for
this city, escorted by large party of
railroad men also In motor cars. Five
companies of the local militia met the
chief executive at the city limits and
escorted him to Mechanics hall, where
the convention is being held. Mayor
James Logan greeted Mr.. Taft to the
city. and Gov Eben S. Draper de.
livered the address of welcome on be.

speech followed, and was listened to
with the utmost interest. Then Rev.
DR.. John Mccoy spoke on "The Church
and Labor" and talks were made by
President Brown Of the New York

Haven & Hartford, and futile of the
Boston & Maine. President Taft left

night 10000 union coal diggers in Dis
trict No. s. U. M of A., strike. At
that time the 1eOs!'O9-'10 wage contract
expires. and az yet the operators Of
the district have not signed new agree
ments for the ensuing year. 1t is be-
lieved that the strike in this district
will be Of short duration. Assertions
are made on good authority that q
temporary agreement between district
union officials and mine owners will be
reached allowing mine operations to
go forward with little delay pending
the settlement of the entire dispute.
The differences in the Pittsburg dis
trict cover working hours, the use of
certain permissible explosives and Q
demand for wage increase of S
cents a ton in run of-mine coal.
The hitch in signing agreement has
already failed of settlement by two
Joint conferences and comes chiefly
from over the power question. which
is Of two years standing in the dis
trict. Before Saturday the operators
and miners hope to reach an under
standing whereby the miners will re-
turn to work and under a temporary
scale allowing the run-of-mine cents
q ton increase, but holding in abey-
ance settlement Of the powder ques-
ton.

MILLION TO HELP COOK.
Vast Sum Has Been Guaranteed b,
Friends Of the Missing Explorer.

New York, April 4.-Captain B. F
Osbon of the Attic club announces thai
he had received letters from million
aires Offering backing to the extent Of
more than $1,0O0,000 for DR.. Frederick
A. Cook to prove his claim that he
and not Commander Peary discovered
the North Pole.
Captain Osbon said that DR.. Cook
had received many offers to take the
lecture platform and that he would
take up both matters with the explorer
when he reaches New York. DR.. Cook
is expected here within three weeks.
1.-The report that DR.. Cook is coming
to establish himself at big hotel is
nonsense" said Captain Osbon. He
does not want any publicity until he
has convinced the world of the wrong
that has been done him.
This offer of million dollars puts
us in position to establish the truth
of his claims without doubt We
have been negotiating with some OF
the scientists in the world and several
of these will be retained. We have
learned already that on the day that
Peary says he reached the pole and
took observation from the sun, there
was not enough sun to make it pos.
sible.
II am not at liberty to say where
DR.. Cook is now. He is in North
America but not in the United States
and he will be here in three weeks
He will come in quietly and live quiet
ly. He has received an enormous
guarantee to go on the lecture plat.
form, but do not know whether he
will accept the proposition"

COMPOSITION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

l. Composition of carrot 5. Compost

fare. There are also some food mate
rails which. while very nutritious, re-
uuire a considerable effort on the part
Of the digestive organs to make them
available for the body. So 1t Is clear
that one must know something about
the structure. composition and food
value of any material before 1t can be
handled intelIigently. Now. what about
vegetables and their preparation for
the table? Practically all green vege-
tables contain large amount of wa
ter. with a smaller percentage OF
starch. a very little protein. some
sugar. gum and woody fiber.
The older the vegetable the harder
the woody fiber becomes until the veg
etable which has been left In the
ground till late In the season can be
torn apart like coarse threads. 1t Is
this fiber which renders vegetables
hard to digest and which necessitates
cooking in order to soften 1t. Most
vegetables contain some mineral mat
ter and certain volatile essential oils
which give them their characteristic
flavor. II the cooking is not properly
performed the essential oils may
change in their character and the orig
inal flavor of the vegetable be de-
stroyed.
Vegetables are useful In the diet for
three reasons:
First.-The mineral salts are needed
to keep the blood, pure and for bone
formation In the young. People who
are denied fresh fruits and vegetables
for any length of time are likely to de-
velop certain skin diseases.
Second.-The woody fiber. just be-
cause Of its indigestibility. has value
in the diet. 1t furnishes waste matter
and ballast and assists the action Of
the intestines.
Third.-Some vegetables. such rs po-
tatoes and corn, are rich In starch and
when eaten with the protein foods.
such as meat. fish and eggs, serve to
balance the diet.
Preparing Vegetables For the Table.
All green vegetables should be fresh
and crisp when put ON to cook. II for
Any reason a vegetable has become soft
or withered it should be soaked In very
cold water until it again becomes
plump and crisp. All vegetables should
be thoroughly cleaned before cooking.
