DENOMINATION
 OF TAFT
Because Big Business so>De- sires-Rooosevelt "Not
 In It. ''
By c. H. Tavenner, Special Cores
 pondent of the F'armer.)

pOnQ6nt or the Farmer.)
 washington, Jan. 31.-wi,liam How ard Taft is the one best bet in the Republican nomination handicap. At least this is the way it looks to-day to me, and I have tried to view the situation, if possible, without preju- dice
 I base my prediction on the theory that Big Business, as represented by AIdrich, Lodge, Shoot, Crane, Guggen- helm, J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and the tariff trusts still dominate the Repub- lican machine. The Republican ma chine, it is true, is badly damaged, but I think, however, it is still powerful enough, backed by all the millions of special privilege. as it iss to control one more Republican convention Af- ter that it will go on the scrap heap
 The only deduction that the reader may draw from the foregoing is that MT. Taft is to be nominated, not be cause the people desire his renOm1na- tion, but because special privilege de sires him to be renominated; not be- cause MT. Taft has earned renomin- alton by representing the interests Of the common people of the country, but because he has earned a renomination by representing the Big Interests.
 There seems to be an increasing talk about Roosevelt, iSbut do not think the machine politicians will per init his nomination. And from what I am able to glean from what can see aDOuC me n6Ie III w WaSnlnSlOus laS day when machine politicians do not rule has not arrived yet. If Roose- welt should be nominated, however, I believe he would be defeated It was during his administration that the present abnorma,Iy high cost of hv- ing. was piled up, largely because of the system of excessive protection in which MT. Roosevelt believes, RooSe- welt +s an AIdrich-Lodge-Smo Re publican on the tariff question, so far as anyone knows. But if he should come out on the Progressive side Of the tariff, it would only make him less desirable to the Republican machine, and his nomination would be even more improbable than it is now.
 Robert M. La Toilette, the one man on whom the people can put their fin ger, on every public question of the day, can not be nominated, in my opinion, the reason being that the people cannot vote on presidential nominees.
 Any day, of course, may bring de- velopments that will change the po- sitions of the men on the Republican checker board, but the above is the situation as it appears to your cores pondent at this writing.

How to Know when the Food /
Cooked.
If the timetable is adhered to. III,
bag may be taken out of the oven in
confidence that the food is well
cooked. But If from any cause the
heat declines, it is very easy to find
out whether the food is properly
cooked. Except in the case of vege-
tables, a little hole can be made in
the bag by which the food can be
seen and judged as to whether, it is
against the cooking of the food in the,
slightest. In many articles, however,
a slight touch of the bag will indicate
to an ordinary cook whether the bag
is ready to be served. A prick with
a needle is another method that may
be adopted. But a peculiarly favor
able feature Of paper-bag cookery is
that If the food is left five or ten
minutes in the bag III the oven longer:
than the specified time on my table,
the food will not be spoiled. There is
little chance of overlooking.
Dangers to Be Avoided.
Cooking generally has it's dangers.
like other, occupations. 1t is the
beauty of this system that the dan
gers are reduced to a minimum. One
does not require every now and then
to open the oven door "to see how:
the roast is getting on" The oven;
is doing it's work, because the whole
force of the heat is playing upon the
bag and ensuring every part Of the
food being v properly penetrated.
Nevertheless, care should be exer-
cised when opening the
Care, again, should be exercised i n

plate should be placed gently under

A PAPER BAG DINNER.

Roast Beef, Round, Ribs, or Sir.

do not season. Put in bag, lay IN a
wire b%roiler. and cook in a moderate
oven For a three-pound joint allow
forty-five minutes; for s%even-pound.
one hour and twenty minutes.
Lima 6eans.-Take a quart of Lima
beans. add two ounces of butter. four
ounces of diced ham, a little sugar
and salt, a good ~teaspoonful of -four,
and a few sweet herbs tc taste. Put
in a paper bag with half a pint of
water, seal up, and cook for an hour
in a moderate ven.
Baked Potatoes.-Thoroughly wash
twelve good-sized potatoes. Make a
few small Sits in them, but do not
peel. Place in a paper bag, with n
tablespoonful Of water. Seal and cook
thirty-ive to fifty minutes. according
| to size.
Tomatoes--Place six tomatoes in
boiling water for twenty-five seconds.
Peel, butter your paper bag, put in
tomatoes with salt, pepper, a suspi-
cion of sugar, and a small piece of
butter. Put the bag on the broiler
after sealing, and cook for twelve
minutes in a hot oven.
Apples a la Duchesse.-Wash and
dry ten large apples. Core them, put
stick-cinnamon-only a bit-in the
place of each core. and pour over
them a tablespoonful of rum. Put in
a buttered bag, and bake on the
broiler thirty minutes. When quite
done. dish up, remove the cinnamon,
and fill the centers with jam-straw-
berry, raspberry, or apricot. Cover
with stifly whipped cream, sprinkle
with chopped nuts, and serve, or set
on ice till wanted. Use sweet apples
and let them cool before adding the
jam and cream.
Light the gas range eight minutes
before beginning to cook, or open the
draughts SO the coal range will be
hot. Put the roast on first, upon the
lowest shelf. Put the apples l.pon
the upper shelf, so as to leave room
for the tomatoes beside them. AS
soon as the tomatoes are done, re-
move, set the bag in a plate, and
stand where 1t will keep hot. Put
the Lima beans in the vacant pace
and when the apples are done, re-
move them and put on the potatoes.
Thus. you will be able to have the
cooking come out even, also to chill
and season your apples before sitting
down to table.

Paper Bag Cooking Experiments

Next, nearly as important, is to
grease the bag inside literally, using
butter, lard, oil, drippings or a very
fat rind of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what it is destined to hold. The
closer the fit of bag and contents,
the better, and the more even and
compact the lay of the food. the less.
trouble in handling.
Use a footed wire broiler, or very
open grid-shelf, in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
If a gas oven, it must be lighted eight.
to ten minutes before putting in the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scorch. lightly; then.
slacken the heat a third or even half
throughout the rest Of the time of
cooking.
Be sure to lay the bags in the oven
with the seam uppermost, especially
II water has been put inside. Seams.
will steam open now and then-if the:
opening is downward there will be a
leakage and much bother.
Finally. it is important to remem
Der that all manipulation, seasoning
and flavoring of food must be at
tended to before 1t is put in bags.
There can be no stirring or tossing
in the course Of paper bag cooking.
Nor must a bag be opened at any
time during cooking; such action is
absolutely unnecessary II directions
are faithfully followed.
