Emblem of Church Should Be First

A CHURCH flag is the emblem and
"A standard of God, and to place it
above the flag Of the UNITED States
during religious services aboard a
vessel is but little enough recognition
Of God, it was asserted the other day
by DR.. E. M. Blackwell, Of the navy.
81 have noticed that certain parties
object to the church pennant being
hoisted above the national flag on
board ship of the navy during divine
services, stating in effect that there
Is nothing paramount to the national
aag," DR.. Blackwell said.
"As regards other nations and flags
and other human organizations, fully
agree that there is nothing para
mount to the United States or its flag,
but there is a Supreme Power or
Force that is paramount to every
thing earthly, and the emblem of that
Supreme Power or Force, when hoist
ed, should be hoisted above every
other flag or emblem.
"As 1 understand 1t, the church
flag, whether Christian, Jew, Budd-
hist, Brahman, Confucian, Mahomme-
dan, or what not, is the emblem and
standard of God to that religion and
not of the religion itself.
Different nations and peoples have
conflicting ideas of God. Some re-
gard Him as a Supreme Being. others
as the great Force or Power of the
universe or nature; but, however we
regard Him, we should recognize Him

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is
under a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is a common practice to
use wall papers and draperies Of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing and
makes 1t hard to read.
Yellow writing paper is not open to
the same objection. In strong day
light it is softer than pure white pa
per. and in artificial light is not too
dark. Black letters on a yellowish
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathematician use yellow pa
per in figuring long and difficult cal
culations, and many writer's have
adopted it for manuscripts. It has
the additional merit of cheapness.-

SHOULD BE SIMMERED
soTLING CHICKEN IS A CASTRO
NOMIc ERROR.
Fowl Always Should Be Rubbed With
Lemon Before cooking-Mlstake
to Salt the Water to
Start With.

Our most scientific cooks say that
the way to boil an egg is not to boil
It. Paradoxically, we may say the
same thing about a chicken, for the
way to boil chicken is not to boil it,
but to simmer it.
In nine cases out of ten in cooking,
the lesser fire does the better work,
and this is especially true in the boil
ing of all meats. They must be boiled
very, very slowly, which is the same
thing as saying they must be SIM
mered.
Any ancient bird can be simmered
until the meat will part from the
bones, but any young chicken can be
boiled as tough as the proverbial old
hen-the meat clinging to the bones
and seeming to be all bone and ten
ion..
The best way to start the prepared
chicken is to pour boiling water over
It, let it boil up for a few brief min
1tes-five is usually about all it will
stand-then lessen the fire. Skim and
keep covered while cooking.
Do not salt the water to start with,
as our old-fashioned recipes told us to
10. Put the salt in when the chicken
Is half done. A good cook with the
knack can do almost anything in this
way, and spoil neither the broth nor
The bouilli, but there are others who
must follow rules to the letter.
To insure greater tenderness, some
cooks rub their boiling chicken with a
lemon before putting it on to cook.
Others put a tablespoon or two Of
vinegar into the water. Neither Of
these things do any harm, and either
may lessen any rank quality present.
But they are not absolutely necessary
to the securing of a tender product.
Notice that it is the pot for boiling
rather than the stewpan. There is
Just as much difference in the boiling
Of things in a thick iron pot, which
holds the heat and distributes even
gas heat, as between the thin bot
toned frying pan and one thick bot
toned. For very quick cooking the
thin-bottomed frying pan is out of the
question, as we know, because a meat
will burn so quickly in it.
We have a greater number of uses
Tor cold chicken in summer than in
winter, and, by the way, it is general
y better to let our chicken cool in
The liquor in which it was cooked and
stay in it until we are ready to use
It.
If there is one thing more than an
Dther concerning which tastes differ,
It is in the making of this salad. The
amount of celery used varies from
one-third as much as chicken to one
and half times as much celery as
meat. Equal parts of chicken, celery
and cabbage are sometimes used, and
the dressings are legion, from the
expensive mayonnaise to the inexpen-
sive boiled dressings. The salad may
also be garnished to suit the taste.
Some of the older garnishes were
boiled beets and hard boiled eggs,
which Japanese cook will turn into
roses, tulips and some quite uniden-
tif1able blossoms, plus checker work
and various parquetry.
