The death of John Bigelow calls atten-

full possession of their faculties-in the

attainment of old age itself-lies greatly
with the individual.
The individual by regulation of diet
and drink may live long. Perhaps one of
the greatest deterrents to longevity is the
common practice of eating TOO much. Near

What are the wages of professional man
cooks? There are great differences, be-
cause there are so many different cooks,
good, bad and indifferent.
There are chefs, sauciers, second cooks,
soup cooks, broilers, roast cooks, fry cooks,
cold meat cooks, chafng dsn etc. Some
know how to handle all of these stations,
some handle few, and some only one.
This covers only the frst-class hotels
and restaurants. Their pay is as follows !:
