without half trying. Capt. IL. Il. Iiol-
brook of the 5th Cavalry and Commissary
Sergeant Pat" Dunno share the credit
of the establishment. Like every other
bakery, that on the drill grounds has
two departments. In one the flour is
kneaded into dough and in the other it is
baked. Since it takes only 20 minutes to
bake a loaf, bakngs are thus regulated.
1t is a scientific operation throughout.
The temperature is maintained at 1876 de-
Srees, it having been shown that the best
results are thus obtained.
Ovens and accessories are designed to
fit into one wagon without exceeding the
6000-pound limit. They are built of sheet
iron and asbestos. They look heavy, but
this is deceptive Certain parts of the

GOOD LECTURE
AT MATAWAN
Good Crowd Present Despite
Indictment Weather.

Matawan, Nov. 27:-On account
Of the storm the lecture on Mis-
takes Of a fife Exposed" was not as
we'll attended as had been expected.
Those present were amply repaid for
their attendance, for the lecture was
laughabIe and consequently highly
enjoyable from beginning to end.
The evening passed quickly In a con
tinuous roar of good natured laugh
ter.
Mr.. Seeds has the reputation of
being one OF the best orators in
these parts and his Mistakes of

terpiece. 1t seems evident that he
is the best lecturer that has appear
ed before the public In this place.
The lecture was given under the
auspices Of the Young Mems Chris
ton Association branch which, 1t Is
claimed, Is now under a financial
loss Of about $40, owing to the
small attendance. About sixty peo-
pie were present and about $40 was
collected.
