Under instructions from the Phil
ippines Division a board OF officers
has been detailed to carefully ex-
anime into and report upon the mil
itary necessity Of retaining the pres
ent reservation of Fort William Nc
tKinley intact. 1t was decided some
time ago that the present site was
to be permanent one, and that 1t
was as good one as could be ser
cured in the Islands, but as all OF
the permanent buildings that are to
be built in the future are to be OF
the new reinforced concrete and, to
be built nearer to each other than
those at present at Mckinley, 1t Is
thought by some officers that the
reservation might be reduced with
out affecting its usefulness as a
military post. Other officers con-
slider that 1t is not large enough to
hold field mancuvers on, though,
and the modern soldiers training
calls for a great deal of field prob
lens, etc The cavalry officers In
particular would appreciate an ex-
tension of the reservation. The
detail of the board is Colonel II. n.
Getty, 7th Infantry; Major C. II.
Barth, 18th Infantry, and LIST Lieu

airy, Colonel Getty and Lieutenant
Beck were In charge of the new
field practise shooting at Mckinley
this year and are thus particularly
well qualified for this detail, know
ing the kind and amount OF ground
that is necessary for field practise,

The board willibe assisted in Its re-
port by papers that have been pref
pared by officers who are considered
experts on military conditions. and

A Handy Laundry Bag

A convenient laundry bag for use ir
each sleeping apartment is easily made
of a square piece of stout material of de
sired size, hemmed round the edge, and
having two-inch strap of the materia
securely sewed to each corner.
When the four straps are slipped over
closet hook, handy bag is formed
easily accessible at four different places
and easily emptied of every article by
simply dropping one of the corners
Such bags are pretty, made in colors to
correspond with the room in which they
are used. When desiring to carry the
soiled clothes to the laundry in the re.
ceptacle in which they are gathered,
these square bags will be found much
easier to handle than the long ones.

How to Utilize Bacon Grease.

Bacon grease is the best available
medium for frying. 1t is the most
toothsome and the purest. Contrast the
clean lines and flavor of bacon grease with
the insipid, ghastly-looking product
known as lard. made from who knows
what. Pure leaf lard is rare, and even
at its best the rich, tempting SAVIOR of
bacon is vastly preferable.
Bacon, properly prepared for those
who do not engage in heavy manual
labor and therefore do not need much of
the rich heat producing fat, should be
fried to a crisp, until it is to all intents
entirely lean. Then it is a dish fit for
gods, and for mortals who know what is
good. Then there is left the grease,
golden brown and delicious. Now the
usefulness of bacon only begins.
Hear this! From one pound of break
fast bacon you get one pint of precious
bacon grease.
What to do with it? That's easy.
Fry eggs in il. You will never again
use lard. Even butter is inferior to it..
Season boiled string beans with it..
1t is substitute for cooking bacon with
them. Two or three tablespoonful
will give the proper flavor. Use the
bacon fat in place of butter or lard.
