Greeks have gone from this country
to fight for their native land. Their

Good cooking is not a matter Of
luck, any more than is good English.
It is based on principles and practice,
and the result obtained is determined
by the amount of knowledge the cook
possesses and the accura-e use of the
same. Please note carefully the
word accurate" The serious thing
bout cooking has been that a dish
would be good today and poor tomor-
row. This used to be termed good
and bad luck" Not so these days
when he science of foods is so gen.
orally recognized, as exact knowledge.
II q recipe is followed with measure
ments accurate and the result is a
palatable and appetizing dish, then
wirA conditions equal and material
the same, there is no reason why this
should not follow whenever the same
dish is prepared There are measur-

were the highest test in the culinary
art. We have learned most of our
cooking from the French people, who
know and have the greatest respect
for food of any nation in the world.
IN France he national soups are
the pot-au-feu or clear soup, made
from beef and vegetable soups, or
made without any meat or meat stock
whatsoever. There are of course a
number of variations of the meat
soup, as some are thin and clear, and
others are +hickered with tapioca,
Italian pastes, noodles and the clear
bouillon which is so little understood
outside of France. We, in this coun-
try, are only beginning to appreciate
the food value of soup. Poor, thin,
wa cry, tasteless soups are worse
than none at all, as they fai. utterly
for the purpose or function intended.
A good wholesome soup should be
eaten once 4 day; and thousands OF
our very poor could have it as the
chief substantial nourishing food ev'
cry day.

FILIPINOs DESIRE FREEDOM.
Manuel L. Quezon, resident com
missioner of the Philippine Islands to
the United States, who has just re-
turned to Washington from Manila,
says that every own in the archipe-
lago has endorsed the Jones bill,
which he hopes will be passed at the
extra session of congress.
The bill purposes to establish a pro
visiOnal government, more liberal and
autonomous than at present, for a
proba ionary period of eight years be-
ginning July I. 1913, and after July 4,
1921, the United States shall relin-
quish all rights of sovereignty over
TIE Philippines and grant to its in
habitants full and compile e independ
encc. The United States would re-
tain sovereignty over necessary naval
and coaling station sites and terminal
points for cables, not including the
bay and harbor of Mania.

would be vested during the proba
tionary period in 2 president, appoint

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

With the coming Of unsettled cold

yious to frost, thaws and rains. If he
lives along one Of the famous dirt"
roads which have been claimed 10 be
good enough" by many, he is tied UP
as far as marketing produce is con
cerned
There are more than 100000, 900 tons
OF farm products hauled over the roads
Of the United States every year Tie
average distance OF these hauIs is 81
miles. The average cost is from % to
- cents mile. Few farmers realize
that the wear and tear, the interest on
their investment. care and feed Of
horses. as well as the time Of the man
on the seat are worth that much, but
the figures are based on careful calcu-
Iations by Uncle Sans best statisti-
clans. BY multiplying the average
distance by the average cost per mile
and this sum by the total number OF
leads. we get the enormous sum Of
1892 1000 which is spent yearly in
hauling by the farmers OF this coun-
try.
These figures will make every think
ing person realize how much this
country, especially Illinois. noted for
its bad roads, loses every yeaE. In
states where they have good roads the
claim is made that the cost of hauling
/ does not exceed from 10 to u cents a
mile Bad roads raise the average TO
from % 10 % cents.

She had just told him that after
thinking it all over she had decided
that she could not be happy as his
wife and that therefore she wished to
break the engagement. So it was only
natural that she should have been

peeted him to break down or threaten
