LOSING STREAK
DUE FOR BREAK
Five Defeats in a Row Is Har-
binger of Turn in Luck for
HOOSler Band-TO Be Home
On Sunday.

Five defeats in row is the record
of the Hoosiers since they left Bay
City last Thursday night. That this
losing streak cannot continue for long
is certain. The unsettled condition of
the infield may be responsible for
some of the defeats administered to
the Smithies. Hixenbaugh was sent
into shortstOp Tuesday and may be
retained there for a time at least, al
though kOehler and have not fully
decided upon the regular inheld ar
Tangement.
1t will be a hard row for the
HoOsiers to get back TO the top of the
list again. Following the final game
of the Flint series this afternoon the
Jackson Vets, now leading the league
by a good margin. will be the oppOn-
ents of the HOOsiers. The Collins
crew has been going like a whirlwind
of late. and il Will be up to the
HoOsiers TO stop them in their merry
chase Vallandingham or Duffy were
in turn for the hurting job this after
noon against the Wheeler band and
both are due for a victory.

I have talked with numberless housekeepers and those to whom 1 have referred who did not wish to be bothered with special preparations. for their lords and masters have been much In the mi- nority. l think that most of us arc only too happy to find something which will give pleasure to the palate of the desdest man in the world.
 How ao tne rest or you feel about thisf If you agree with me am more than ever uncertain why I have had 90 few replies to my appeal for Johns favorite." Is it that he has SO many that you are at loss where to choose. or do you think he is already so well satisfied with what you have given him that there Is no need for you to widen your field of knowledge along these llnesg I am curious to know the real reason.
 This question of catering always seems to me of great importance. As wise man I know once said, ' So long as We arc in the body. we must live by the body" and apply that to my kitchen and pantry purveying. So long as each one of us keeps palate In good working order and has 6 stomach which must be con- sidered, our likes and dislikes our neces- stiles and our peculiarities must be taken into account--and those of our families must be reckoned with by us who arc housckeepers.
 We have not fulfilled the functions of domestic caterers when we have merely supplied the articles which are demanded for the support of life The family board is something more than common feeding ground. In a way 1t Is the center of the home, the place where the members of the household gather not only to satisfy the need for physical food but also to savor the aroma of the homo life with all that means of companionship and sweet, mutual consideration,
 The woman who thinks enough of her profession as home maker to study the likings of her husband and children in the line of food Is doing more than mere purchasing and cooking. She is at the same time establishing her image in their hearts as one who thought more of their tastes than of her own ease, who counted us nothing trouble that give them pleas ure, who recollected their preferences and took the pains to cater to them. In other words, she is helping form their Ideals of what wife and mother may be and it does not detract from the importance of her task that part of the molding is done in such humble and homely condi- tions as over kitchen stove or at Q mix ing bowl or breadboard.
 The conditions may change. but the picture remains-the housewife who re- membered and loved to malce for her husbands pleasure "John's favorite. 1" And now, please. tell us what 1t isi

I have lived for months in ho- tel, and I recollect well, although years have passed since then. how, after a while, everything tasted as though 1t had been cooked in the same dish; the beef and the mutton had the same flavor; there were no delicacies of savor be tween different vegetables; even the pies and the buildings seemed to have been cut out of the same piece.
 I remember with what joy we hailed invitations to take meals in homes and how we secretly chuckled when our hosts told us they felt they had little to offer us in the way of food after our experience in such fine hotel as that in which we had our winter quarters.
 We knew only too well that a chop and baked potato done over our own gas or wood or coal fire was better than a ten course repast which had been pre- pared, so to speak. at wholesale. along with the meals of scores of others,
 The individual touch Is what makes the home cooking, after all and that is what John yearns for, although the food set before him may be the best of It's kind and perfectly prepared. Every one of us has a good deal of the child left, and John is no exception to the general rule, big, strong man though he may be. He has his fancies in diet and once in a while he likes to have the special atten- ton paid him of recalling his own par ticular preference for crullers, or mer- ingue pie. or corn bread, or fried pork with cream gravy.

So some of the other women may be to blame for that most piteous object. motherless child.

 Do any of the Cornerites feel like this? I would dislike to think that they all feel like it-or enough to account for the ab- sence of response to my appeal for Johns favorite recipe.
 Not long since I listened to lecture from man who was dilating upon the waste involved in the individual kitchen He said:

 AN OPrIMIsr"
 Several weeks ago asked if the house. keeping and married Cornerites would send me recipes for their husbands best liked dishes and headed the request Johns Favorites" In imagination I saw myself overwhelmed with a rush of directions how to make a variety of de- lfcious compounds, each accompanied with the assurance that it was especially beloved by some fortunate husband. H. " ing turned in the appeal for such dishes, sat back and waited for the avalanche I am still waiting.
 Letters on other topics have come in abundance. In fact, the mail has been exceptionally heavy, but in reply to my request for !" Johns Favorites has ap- peared but one answer. That is the one I have just given. The writer chose a better pen name than she dreamed when she signed herself An Optimist," and I hope her optimism may survive the shock of knowing that she Is the only one who sent a response.
 Now am wondering what Is the mat ter. What Is the cause of this ominous silence on the part of the many admirable housekeepers I have found among our Cornerites? I know that large number of them possess husbands in good and regular standing. They can't all be too busy to write. Is it possible that the fashion of catering to the man of the house is going out of vogue md that John has reached the stage where ne must take what is provided for the rest of the fafn- fly. with no attention paid now and then to his own particular tastes?
