BETTER COOKERY.

If Representative Wilson, of Illinois.
has his way, Tama Jim Wilson will
be entrusted with the direction of the
nations cooking.
The member of congress from the
sucker state has introduced a bill for
the establishment of a bureau of do
nestle science in the department Of
agriculture. The idea is a capital one.
In effect the department now has a
domestic science bureau. At least, it
has experts in domestic science who
have published many helpful booklets
such as the notable one on the econ
omical use Of meat.
But more funds, more experts. more
equipment, are needed. Representative
Wilson seeks to have the secretary of
agriculture given authority to outline
courses Of study which can be offered
in every high school through co-opera-
ton with the department of agricul-
ture.
This bill. in a measure, follows out
suggestions outlined by the commits
sion named by President Roosevelt to
make recommendations for the better
ment Of farm conditions-and II has
unauestioned merit.
Only a few days ago one Of New
York's supreme judges said bad cook
ing is the most common cause of di-
. vorce. He suggested that the woman
. who feeds her husband we'll seldom
has any trouble with him.
The Illinois legislator is doubtless
striking indirectly at the heart of the
divorce evil. He is also striking at
some Of the underlying causes Of the
high cost of living.
A generation Of cooks thoroughly
educated in food values win reduce
grocery and meat bills at a rapid rate,
The average family's meals are thrown

Tales of the Street

1t was pretty nearly a year ago that
Sam Mcdonald broke into politics
when he was elected to fill the unex-
pired term OF City Attorney Shure,
who was then an alderman from the
Third ward. This spring he came up
for regular election and the people of
that ward evidently were pleased with
the way he conducted Mr.. Shure's al
dermanic seat, for they told him to
go ahead for another two years and
represent them on the board of the
city fathers.
Last night Sam happened to drive
past the Gardner hotel in his automo-
bile. AS he went gliding by, Hon.
William J. Price, who was standing I'm
the lobby of the hotel with a group of
friends, saw him through the window
and remarked.
"Ah, Alderman Mcdonald out taking
the evening air."
Dennis Lynch, the insurance man,
was in the group and looked out the
window after Mr.. Mcdonald.
Sam is alderman for sure, now,
isn't hep asked Mr.. Lynch, pleasantly
of the Cass county representative, in
an offhand way. $50
NO. replied Mr.. Price. Hes a real
alderman now. He was alderman for
Shure until last election day."

THE DOPE FIENDs.

Police officials are scarcely fitted 10
handle victims Of liquor, morphine, CO.
caine and other habits-especially
those in an advanced stage. Records
of deaths in lonely cell in city jails
are frequent. Fargo has had it's share
one case being within few months.
Men who have been on long extend
ed debauches and whose heart action
is weakened by their excessive indul-
gence are arrested-thrown into a cell
to sober up. Cut off from their source
of supply some of these unfortunates
rave and suffer from delirium tre-
mems. Others die.
The same is true of the unfortunates
addicted to the use Of opiates. With
out some of the drug they become in
sane.
Some people may insist that people
who have degenerated so low need lit
tie consideration-and their death
would be a fitting finish TO worthless
existence.
Humanity demands the victims be
given more consideration and an OPP
portunity for treatment. The presence
of a physician in cases Of arrest of ex-
tremely drunken people or dope fends
is imperative. They should be called
at the time of the incarceration-rath
than delay the matter till the patient
is raving or dead.
