George Purdy BulIard Believes There
 Will Be Twenty Entries.

The next Los Angeles to Phoenix race, which was instituted at the time of the second territorial fair by the offer of The Republicans cup. will be the greatest of all.
 In a letter received by The Re publican yesterday from President Bullard of the Maricopa County Au- tomobile club MT. Bullard said.
 The motoring public in Los An geles have gone wild with enthu- siasm over the Los Angeles Phoenix race. I have, never seen so much geneEl enthusiasm towards the race as there is this year. l look for between eighteen and twenty entries The following cars have absolutely agreed to sign up entries. to-wit: The Apperson, Franklin, Knox, Maxwell Pope Hartford, Royal Tourist, Mid land, Amplex, Ford, Velie, Kissel, Kar, Great Western and Elmore.

ART OF DINING IN DECLINE.
Times Out of Joint for the True Epi- cure in Paris, Says Marcel Provost.

Paris-"The times are out of joint for the true epicure." laments Marcel Provost in an essay on the decline of dining as a fine art in Paris.
 Once upon a time. he recalls. there were many famous hOstelries, each of which had it's own special recipes. the secret of which was jealously guarded They also took pride in a well stocked cellar of the coicest vintages.
 q do not wish to offend any one" says NJ Provost sadly. but it is a fact that all these famous old houses are gone. Modern managers find there is no money to be made in them. They prefer to run huge hotels with all the luXuries of the twentieth century, be- of them
 'All your big modern carayanserai lay so much stress on their so-called exquisite cuisine that one is fain to believe them. But they cannot possi- bly, cater for the true epicure. All the present first class restaurants could interchange their bills of fare and no one would be the wiser. Not only are the meals the same but they are prac- tiealIy the same day after day.
 "The decadence in the fine French cuisine is not entirely due to the negli gence of the Parisian. who is kept too busy with her dressmaker, her jeweler. her 5~o'clock tea and her amusements to pay attention to a good table.
Arizona republican., 1910-07-29

Neither is it entierly due to the inev- itable standardization of the kitchen ar arrangements in the big modern hotel. It is the public itself which is really to blame.
 We no longer have a tradition In the art of dining well. we lack the edu- cation that makes the true gourmet. Strangely in some corners of provin- cial France one meets with more dis cernment than in Paris
 Tn Gascony. for instance. every boz knows in which months different meats are at their best In Paris nobody knows, nor apparently cares.
 "Our patrician homes simply initiate the hotel, they engage chef and pay him so much a head. How is one to become an expert diner under such de- grading circumstances?
 "Then doctors also are much to blame They tell people not to touch any sauce, not to take any wine Is it a wonder that a generation is growing up that knows nothing of the exquisite pleas ures of the table. and is contemptuous- ly Indifferent to them?"

THE NEW SCIENCE OF FERTILE
 EATON.

After much experimentation, Dr. G. Earp- Thomas of Bloomfield, N. J.. has carried the art of cultivating and pre- serving bacteria to a point where every farmer in the country can make use of pure bottled bacteria, alive and healthy and ready for use, which he feeds to his seeds before planting, instead of working eXpen- sive nitrogen fertilizer into the ground
 The bacteria-son a good crop will thoroughly fertilize the ground for at least three years without reinoculation. Dr Earp- Thomas collects healthy bacteria wherever he can find them already flourishing. takes them to his laboratory, puts them into glass jars with a gelatinous plant food and le- gume seetls. and tests their power un- der scientific conditions. There he can watch the formation of the nod ules on the roots and select only the healthiest bacteria for distributing In preparing the bacteria for farm and garden use, a needle is thrust into this pure breed of bacteria. and comes out laden with thousands of them These are quickly transferred to an- other bottle containing a bed of jelly. which preserves the bacteria for years The neck of the bottle and the needle are, during the process, passed through flame, to destroy any foreign sub stance The bottle is corked with a patent rubber cork through which a glass tube runs. so that air can reach the bacteria The tube is stopped with cotton. which prevents the en- trance of foreign germs. In this bot tie millions of bacteria breed. exert ing themselves to absorb nitrogen from the air which filters in through the cotton. The jelly contains no ni- trogen-the bacteria work to get it from the air and so keep healthful and active.
 The jelly soon becomes alive with bacteria, and the farmer can get his nitrogent fertilizer for all the clovers. all the beans. all the pease, alfalfa, all the vetches and peanuts-a diff ferent kind of bacteria for each, which can be purchased, like medicine, by the bottle. Pure cultures of active, vigorous nitrogen gathering bacteria, which need simply to be mixed with sugar and little water to be shaken well and poured on the seed before planting. cost less than $2 per acre. This process entails no waste of val uable time, no expensive nitrogen
