USE OF THE GRIDIRON
GRilLiNd A MOST APPET1ZiNG
METHOD OF COOKING
Process That 10 Most Quickly Per
formed Provided There 10 a Clear,
Bright Ftre-Preserves Julces
ct Meat to Be Served.

Grilling is one Of the crudest and
cooking; 1t is, indeed, sometimes de
scribed as the savas mode Of cook
ing. when slices of raw meat T
strung on sticks and held over or close
to a fire.
"Broiling'' is the most ancient word
for grilling: though both words are
still used, they really signify h
same thing. Broiling Is derived from
the french word "bruier," to burn.
Although one OF the simplest forms
of cookery. 1t is seldom well carried
out. The process is similar to that Of
roasting. with the difference that
only small pieces or slices Of meat
are used.
Broiling or grillins Is always don
before, or over, a clear, bright fire.
1t is a process which is always
quickly performed. By broiling meats
evaporation is prevented by the sud
den closing of the tibers. SO that the
outside Of the meat is quickly hard
ened and the surface Drowned.
A chop, steak. outlet or fillet, prop
erly broiled, should have a thin, nicely
Drowned crust, the inside Of which
must be cooked to suit the require
ments and taste OF the person for
whom it is prepared. viz, rare, raw
and juicy, Medium or we'll cooked.
A gridiron, cleaned and we'll
creased, is the proper utensil for
broiling, though some cooks use the
frying pan more often than the grid
iron; special care must 20 exercised
to keep the fat from falling into the
fire, as the sudden blaze is likely to
inipart a smoky and Objectionable
favor to the meat.
A clear, bright fire Is essential to
perfection in grilling. On no ac-
count must the meat be pierced
with a fork or skewer, or he juices
will run out of the holes made and
much of the flavor will thereby be
lost. An average sized chop or steak
will require 10 to u minutes to broil
Or grill, during which time it should
be turned at least five times.

AMERICAN REFUGEE
FROM MEXICO, HERE

Narrowing stories Of hardships
that have been suffered by Americans
in Mexico who failed to heed Presi-
dent Wilson's warning to get out of
the revolution-torn country are told
by Harry Powers, refugee, who has
reached Detroit. searching for rela-
tives of his former employer, c. b.
Richardson. Powers says that he has
been employed on the Richardson
ranch near Ell Legarto, 62 miles north
Of Tampico, during the last four
years.
The proprietor who, according TO
Powers story, ran a saloon In Detroit
years ago. disappeared Feb. 6, after
he had started TO Tampico on bust
ness. When the horse he rode came
back riderless and the master failed
to return, Powers took charge OF the
S,000-acre ranch, he says, and ran 1t
until II was pillaged by band Of
guerillas two weeks later He made
his way as a penniless fugitive, TO
Vera Cruz and thence to Detroit The
only relative Richardson had ever
spoken TO him of, he says, was a
niece, Mrs Nellie Howard, who was
said TO live in Detroit II was in
search Of her that Powers came here.
II is better TO be even a Spaniard
in Mexico, says Powers, than a citi-
zen OF the United States, so hated
has the American become since the
present difficulty between the coun
tries arose.
