It was the sense Of the associa
ton that athletics should be left as
far as possible to the various col
leges and that mutual suspicion and
distrust be considered with disfav

to express themselves as heartily OPP
posed to the plan of entertaining
Il few of the young men OF the
schools to prize lighting condition
to the detriment of the main body
Of students who sit in the grand
stand and watch the games. The
sense Of the body, or rather the
members present, is that too much
attention is given to the teams and
too little attention to the students,
who need physical training just as
much or more than the squads that
get the attention of high salaried
men The members hold that this
matter should come in for part of
their consideration as we'll as inter

executive officer when the crusade against the
plague instituted in that city.
The rat ship Neptune does it's work on the
waterfront of cities, but it must not be supposed
that vessels alone the habtation of rats which
may carry with them the germs of a dread dis
ease. In any city which may be suspected OF har-
boring rats afflicted with the plague parasite the
crusade against the rodents is carried on In all
sections of the town where the rodents abound.
Thousands upon thousands of the rats are caught
In traps and every rat caught is tagged, so that
the place where it taken can be known DELI
nitely The bodies of the animals are taken to
the public health laboratory and there they are
examined, the examinations sometimes reaching
the number of 600 day.
Each of the dead rats is examined thoroughly
and experienced man tell instantly those
which appear to be affected. In the case OF sus-
pect, where it is definitely determined that the
rat actually has the disease, the tag Is consulted
and the place of capture of the animal is learned
Then the work of determination and of fumigatfon
and perhaps demolition of buildings begins in the
neighborhood from which the infected rat came.
Here is what Assistant Surgeon-General Will
liam c. Rucker has said in one brief paragraph
concerning the eradication and prevention of bu
bonc plague:
plague is primarily disease of rodents, and
secondly and accidentally, disease of man. Mans
safety from the disease lies in the exclusion of
the rodent and its parasites. This Is the basis
of all preventive and eradcative work. IL man
can live in rodentfree surroundings he need have
no fear of plague, because If there be no rodents
there can be no rodent parasites, and for all prac-
tical purposes the flea may be considered as the
common vector Of the disease from rodent to
rodent and from rodent to man. The eradication
of bubonic plague. therefore, means the eradica-
ton of rodents"
Now. In layman's language, the path of the
bubonic plague from rodent to is something
like this: rat has the plague. Where II got 1t
we will say nobody knows, for the origin of the
thing is as much of a question as which came
first, the hen the egg. Every rat has feas

Spanish onion and green peppers,
served on slices of cucumbers, laid
on a bed of watercress, Is another
good salad. For creamed onions allow
two to each person and cook them In
water that Is all evaporated by the
time they are tender. Add two table,
spoonfuls of butter for dozen onions
and a half cupful of rich cream Salt
and pepper is added and the vege-
tables are heated in the cream until
we'll seasoned through.
Onions With Rice and Chicken
This is combination which Is not
often found In American homes, but is
especially good, To a dozen onions,
all small and even sized, add cupful
of rice and a cupful of chicken meat.
Put the onions into baking dish with
the rice. Pour over three cupfuls OF
chicken stock and cup of chopped
chicken meat. Salt and pepper and
dot with butter. Place in a moderate
oven and cook covered for one hour;
then uncover, add a cupful of cream
and cook Is minutes longer. Serve in
the dish in which it is cooked.
Onions are good in beef stock and
covered while cooking, then during the
last half hour sprinkle with a stea-
spoonful of sugar and brown uncov-
cred.
Onions parboiled and baked with
cheese and white sauce Is another
most wholesome way of serving them.
Cabbage is another of our flavor
vegetables, which is as good as cauli.

and served in rich white sauce.

Rats, as has been said. carry the parasite which
is a flea, from which it is possible for to
become infected with the disease, bubonic plague.
The public health service has classified all the
c. commercial ports of the world as follows:
Clean" Suspected" Infected" When ship
bound for New Orleans reaches quarantine, which
is a good ways down the river from the Crescent
City it is boarded There, if an unusual number
OF rats found on board or if other conditions
seem to require it, there is sulphur fumgation.
Then the ship proceeds its way to New Or
leans. II is then that the public health officers
take up watch on the vessel,
There have been plague rats in New Orleans.
There are certain places where rats are more
likely to succeed in getting onto vessel
than they are at others. There is greater de-
sire that rats which possibly may be infected
shall get on to ship than that rats in the same
possible condition shall leave 1t for the shore II
is possible for precautions to be taken which Will
prevent the rodents either from leaving or enter
ing the vessel. Their ordinary way of egress or
ingress is along cables or ropes which lead from
the vessel to the shore. To prevent entrance and
exit guards are attached to the ropes and no rat
is able to pass them.
When the public health officials find that it is
necessary to turn their monoxde of carbon bat
down every window OF every cabin is sealed, and
all the cracks Of the doors closed with paper
attached by means of flour paste. Then the Nep-
tune steams up alongside, the coke in the closed
furnace is started burning and the generated
rnonoxide of carbon passes through hose into
the hold of the ship until 1t is filled with the dead
Iy gas Then attention is turned to the cabins
and staterooms each Of which is given its full
charge of the overpowering fumes.
The vessel is left alone for six hours and then
the matches doors, windows and port holes are
opened and the gas escapes All that remains to
be done is to go in and gather up the dead rats
The fumigating process kills not only the rats,
hut everything else living that is on board and
this means everything living down to the minutest
form OF animal life.
Danger is passing quickly from New Orleans
and II is passing because not only the health au-
thorities Of the state and city, but those OF the
government took hold Of the situation at once
and saved II, IN Il really needed saving, and there
are those who believe that If unchecked the bu-
homie plague might have obtained firm foothold.

over the cushion that keeps in the
heat
For homemade cooker the amount
of cooking is limited, as broiling or
brown roasting cannot be done, nei-
Their can baking. The main thing to
be remembered in preparing food for
the cooker is that there Is no means
of evaporation, so the amount Of LIQUID
should be added with that in mind.
The heat that is generated in the wa
ter that surrounds the food and the
heat in the receptacle are all that
cooks the food, so 1t must be con-
served.
Have the dish boiling hot and the
cooker near the stove so that little
heat is lost in transit, then cover
quickly and allow it to stand from
three to six hours, depending on the
food cooked. 1t may need to be re-
heated If 1t is food that requires long
cooking, but rice, macaroni and
steamed buildings may be cooked in
an hour or two.
Seasonings of course should be
added after the food has reached the
boiling point on the stove. All foods
must actually boil and be put so into
the cooker.
One of the reasons that steaks and
chops are so expensive is because
there is a larger demand for them.
and they form very small part of the

butter is but 32 cents a pound, it is
just one cent tablespoonful, it will
be wisdom to use every fat that Is

Grease from sausage, because of its
seasoning, should be kept by itself

To render mutton fat and make 1t

apple and teaspoonful of thyme or
mixed herbs done up in small cloth.
Cook these at low temperature until
the onion is > brown and the apple
cooked, strain and you will have a
fat that takes the place of butter for
seasoning vegetables and meats in va
rious ways.
The fat from ducks, geese and other
fowl may be tried out and kept to use
for cake shortening. 1t also Is used
for chicken pie.
