In the Kitchen

Oatmeal is the commonest and most
abused of all the cereals. Nothing could
be more nutritious than oatmeal, as 1t
matter than any of the few starch prod
ucts. These serve to supply good firm
bone structure, red blood corpuscles and
stimulate the activities of the system.
You should have three objects when
you cook, If you cook in a scientific
manner. First, to sterilize the material,
to improve the flavor and appearance, and
to produce changes in the structure SO
that the digestive juices will act upon
the nutrients themselves.
All cereals have thick coating OF eel
lulose or fiber. under which tho nutrltive
qualities are to be found. This thick
coating is ordinarily lmpervious to the
action of the digestive juices, unless In
some manner 1t is removed. The only
satisfactory way to do this is by long
and careful cooking. The effect is to
break down these hard little shells. and
the starch grains, too, thus aiding the
digestive processes
IL It can be managed-eyen by going
outside the kitchen-have the oatmeal
steamed, not boiled. Eight hours at least
should be allowed for cooking all cereals.
IL the result is meant to be digestlble.
A great many manufacturers advertise
the fact that they have crushed and
steamed their cereal. This is not enough.
Some day try adding from one to two
hours on to the 20 minutes recommended
on the package and note the difference
In flavor.
Don't serve your cereals as II they were
soup They should be firm, so that each
cell can expand to its greatest capacity.
Measure the boiling water and put It
over the fire In the double boiler. Then
add the required amount OF salt. and
when the water is boiling, add the oat-
meal. Cook this directly over the fire
for Ave or ten minutes, until you find
your substance is thickening. Never stir
oat cereals, 1t makes them mushy. A
scum will not form on the water II you
cover the dish while 1t is cooking. Re-
member that the more crude hber there
is I'm the cereal, the longer II must cook.

TURKISH ARMY in
Q1SGRAcEFuL RETREAT


Petrograd, Jan. Gin a statement
made at war headquarters here to-
day, positive declaration has been
made that the entire Turkish cam
paign in Caucasus has failed. The
entire Turkish army is in disgraceful
retreat, abandoing equipment, guns
and ammunition, also leaving the
regimental colors behind: All re-
ports have emphasized the extent Of
the Russian victory. Fifty thousand
men are surrounded and must either
surrender or be annihiliated. Iskana
'Pasha, leader of the Ninth Turkish
corps, and his subordinates, have
been imprisoned. The Russian ad-
vance. into Hungaria is also con-
tinuing unchecked. On account of
the Carpathian being blocked, the
bringing in of supplies is difficult.

feared, in the worst disaster in the
history of New York, in subway
fire this morning. The entire sys-

long crowded trains are stalled in to-
tai darkness. Passengers are uncon-
scious from the smoke and the situa-

been smothered- to death, but this
rumor Fire Commissioner Adams and
Fire Chief Kenlon are unable to sub

FRENCH CLAIMS

Berlin. Jan: e.-7omcial statements
made here this afternoon deny: the

Attacks on the German positions at

Important Developments :from* the

The capture Of Borjimow is much
discussed. By taking this point it
is believed that Won Hindenberg has
opened way for driving a wedge
into the Russian contingents, forcing
the Russians to retire to their second
line. Dispatches from Constantin-
ople say that the allies fleet has with
drawn from that city. ~ -.

Secret Plans for War Are Stored
Away in Vaults Of Army and Navy
Department at Washington.
EVERY APPROACH CONSIDERED
~
Fact Not Known Until Recent Agita-
ton Over National Security
Disclosed by Secretary. -.
(By Burton X. Standish)

Washington, Jan. 6.-stored ava,
In the. vaults of the army and navy
departments today are secret plans
for war. These show just what
moves this country would make in
event Of hostilities against our
shores. Every possible plan of ap-
proach of an enemy has been consid-
cred, and with it has been evolved by
the military strategists a method for
, meeting such an attack :...
Not until the recent agitation over
national security was it known that
this nation is prepared for war, in
the sense OF having such carefully
laid schemes of defense and offense.
Asst. Secretary of Navy Roosevelt
himself disclosed one of the secrets
when he indicated that fully $4,000
more men would have to be added
to the navy, if foreign power were
to make war on this nation: But for
the most part, the views of and the
strategy of the military planners is
guarded with jealous care.
Two Great Organizations.
Back of all these confidential war
moves lies two great organizations
the army and navy war colleges
Their 'game boards" in conjunction
with the fleet. have developed these
war ideas to "a >nicetly which o icials
believe would. stand a s. the nation in
good stead in in case q ! actual ct: prac-
tice instead of theory, The relation
between the "game boards and the
actual feet operation IN the navy for
instance, has been admittedly weak
in recent months. But the navy de-
partment has turned it's attention to
making these problems of attack and
defense as practical as possible To
this end, work is now under way 10
make the relations between the
theorists and the admirals and cap
tains closer and more practical.
The s.game board. is Just What
it's name signifies-a huge board on
which the game of destruction IS
played by men trained to the arts Of
death. '%:+ =. e.
Work Like Chess Men.
The United States navy is repre-
sented by miniature ships of Ger
tain color. The ships of an enemy are
designated by another color They
are moved around like chess men, but
the elements of mathematical calcu-
lation, or unerring accuracy Of naval
strategy enter into every movement.
One tactical mistake may destroy the
miniature United States fleet. To err
on the game board is serious bust
ness, for it means that the man in
charge might do the same were he
engaged in a life and death Struggle.
Then make the board play more
realistic, the intricate problem sug-
gested by the board are transferred
to commanders of the big dread
noughts. There, these ideas are put
to actual practice when maneuvers
are possible.

that the sleeper which has been op-

will be discontinued after next Sat-

will again be placed in service when
summer travel starts. The change
will be regretted in Bemidji as the
service has been used considerably
and much appreciated.
