START AS MULE WHACKER
Robert Lee Remembers White, New
Head of United Mine Workers.

Il remember well when John T.
White, recently elected head of the
nited Mine Workers, lived in Coal
Valley said Robert Lee, former head
of the Coal Valley Mining company
yesterday afternoon. His father was
round house foreman for the old Poor
ia road for a number of years, and d
better, streighter man never lived
Young White left Coal Valley when he
was a mere boy, but even at that early
age had begun his career by serving
as mule 'whackeT' in the mines"
Mr. White. as The Argus stated at
the time of his election to the head OF
the national mine organization, was
born here but left Rock Island county
many years ago

The gas oven must be heated
for 10 minutes before broiling, or meat
will simmer instead of broil. The
rack is removed first, so that the steak
will not stick to the hot wires and
may be properly placed. The red meats
(beef, lamb, and mutton) are treated
in the same manner. ! will speak lat
er of the other articles which we
broil perfectly with gas.
Place the meat about two inches
from the fame, always leaving the
oven door open while broiling. This
is important, both for the choice flavor
of the meat and TO prevent burning and
smoke. AS soon as one side is crisp,
draw out the pan and turn the steak,
then crisp the other side, using two
forks to handle the meat and thus
avoid piercing it. Set the pan farther
away from the fame 10 finish cooking
and reduce the heat, turning a second
time if meat is quite thick. Seasoning
may be added after each side is brown
ed. The time required will depend up
on the thickness of the meat, and
whether people want it rare, medium,
or well done, but the method is the
same The intense direct heat sears
the surface so that the juices are re
tanned and the favor is perfected. 1t
is easily digested. most appetizing.
and, if rightly done. is pleasing TO the
eye and palate. Such results are not
with any other method.

few CLEAR DAYS
Month of January Was Remark
able in Small Amount of
Sunshine.
SOL OUT BUT THREE DAYS
Twenty Days Totally C1Oudy-MOntIl
Like Last Year Above Normal
in Temperature.

The year 1911 thus far has been like
1910-above the normal in heat and
below standard in moisture. Data COW
ering last month, prepared by the local
weather station, shows that the aver
age temperature was "a. TWO degrees
above the normal for 50 years. and the
total precipitation was III inches, or
% inches below that of the average
January. The highest temperature last
month was 90. recorded on the 10th,
and the lowest II below, which was
reached on the Bird. The greatest daily
range of temperature was - or the
It'll. and the least was on the 25th
The average daily deficiency in tenn
perature was 2.8 degrees.
THREE CLEAR DAYS.
Most remarkable in the record for
January was the almost total absence
of clear days. There were but three
of them. a record that has seldom been
equaled in this cline. There were
eight partly cloudy days and 90 with
out even a ray of sunshine. Rain o.
snow fell on 10 days.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING
BY MRS. HELEN ARMSTRONG.

Dry meats like ham, veal chops, and
calves liver are first treated to a thin
coat of butter, bacon fat or drippings.
Slices of bacon may be placed in a fiat
wire toaster, so that all may be turned
at once. Each piece is evenly cooked.
We have a most wholesome result
and are not annoyed by the permeat-
ing odors of the frying bacon. BrolIed
bacon is exceptionally easy to digest;
it is a form of fat most desirable for
delicate people and most welcome to
the healthy Fish and fowl are spread
with soft fat, also dredged with -four,
salt and pepper before brOiling and
a little lemon juice may be added too.
We cook these more slowly than the
red meats and haste with hot water
and the melting fat. In this way We
have juicy, tender meat, surrounded by
a delicate crispness.
Chicken will have TO be turned after
breast is Drowned lightly and most Of
the cooking completed before breast is
again turned to the fire. A delicious
gravy may be made from the stock in
the pan below, and we have dish
that easily rivals the popular fried
chicken, with none of the handicaps
of constant watching or attendant
doors Birds of all sorts are at their
best when broiled in this fashion,
game being cooked rare. Prompt ser
vice on the hot plates which the care
full cook has in readiness, complete
the delight of the epicure.
