gentleman and wife who occasionally
dine at the Young learned through
Manager Heydenrich Of the superior
ity of paper-bag cooked meats over the
conventional style of roasting. Heine
took great pains to explain the placing
of the lard inside the bag, and then
lodging the beef also in the bag and
over the lard, and then fastening with
the clips which come with the bags. 1t
seemed very easy to the lady, and to
the gentleman as we'll. So easy to
the latter, in fact, that he expressed
a belief that in the event of the cock
leaving at any time or even on ia J.
anese holiday, it would be the sim
plest thing in the world for him 10
prepare the meat and the bag and sit
still fer results to come. A purchase
of a set Of bags followed the CONVEX
sation with Heine, and the next day
the cook received his first instructions
in the modern style of cooking. He
sawed everything; he pointed the
spot where the lard should go, like
wise the clips. and then the housewife
felt that the joint for that night would
be a marvel of cookery, for the cut
was a good one and the juice would
be retained with all of the flavor OF
the beef. After the usual delays at
meal time, the roast was brought on
the table by the steward, and as the
head of the house cut into it there
was a bright beefy red disclosed to
his vision; royal odors from the
steaming beef we're absent and the
juice was not there. AS it was not
company night" the cook was called
into the dining room to tell how the
bag was used. Not being clear on the
matter, the gentleman and his wife
followed the boy to the Kitchen, where
he illustrated the modus operandi, put
ting dab of lard into the bag, fasten-
ing the opening with the clips and
smoothing out the wrinkles. After
this was done he laid the bag in the
oven and placed the meat on top of it.
The loss of the juice and the flavor
was explained, and until another cook
comes around this couple will stick to
the old style.

Cleanliness in Household UtiI-
tiles Needs Force of
Legislation

1t is a source OF everyday wonder
that Doctor Wiley did not extend his
i,.;rc food laws more into matters Of
public utility around the household.
Lingerie needs protection from the
onslaught of ignorant laundresses and
laundrymen. almost as much as our
stOmachs from the commodities mai
ufactured cheaply for human con-
sumption. There are in this city less
than a half dozen sO-Called steam
laundrieS and innumerable Chinese
who launder clothing by hand. Which
is the more damaging to the mater
ials has not been determined, prob
ably because there is so little differ
Cnce that a guess is not worth while.
The great complaint is against the
cleansing powders used in the wash
ing in lieu of soap which is probably
more expensive and less damaging
TO the clothing. In ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred a dress made OF
material having for a design either h
stripe or a figure of contrasting shade
will not be fit for wear after the
first trip to the wash. After the
fourth trip all semblance to color, eX-
cept a pearly white, will have van
ished. The mere fact that the ma
terials in wOmen's clothing are eX-
rensive seems not to occur to the
managers of the laundry, or if it
does, is not communicated to the
l'elp.
Good, oId-Fashloned Soap Needed.
The extra cost of washing by a
steam laundry should warrant the use
of good, oldfashioned soap. Washing
powders should be left for: use OH
clothing discolored by oil or grease,
some that cannot be touched by soap,
but women's garments and mems neg
ligee shirt should have better meth
DDS of treatment. II housewives and
bachelor men would rise in the
might invested in them, a change
might be wrought, and the change
would be appreciated by man and
women alike. If the force of moral
suasion availeth naught, the law, or
something that would persuade the
laundrymen to make good for damage
inflicted might bring them to their
knees.
At the present time the cost Of
washing is much higher than it was
in the old days when the Chinese
laundrymen did all of the work and
did it far more satisfactorilyfethanI
the present day workers. Several
years ago the family washing was
brought home by Sing Lee or John.
He was paid the sum Of dollar and
half and went away contented. In
those days the housewives CON-
planned so when a gown lost a speck
of it's color that the men were COM
PEELED to avoid almost all cleansing
powders on colored materials.

 T am a republican and always vote straight. I shall vote therefore, for President Taft, but had strong lean ing for the colonel. think now the party made a mistake in not nominating him at Chicago. However, since his friends could not get up a stampede for him, he bolted the G. o. P, and that was wrong. Of course, there are a great many repub- licans who are independent enough either to vote the democratic ticket or to stay away from the polls when the regular ticket does mt suit them, but the great majority of voters who make up the party are loyal and almost superstitiously attached to the idea of party regularity.
