EATS WITH HIS men
Kaiser Depends on "GouIash
Cannons" for Meals.
Intimate Picture Of the Soldier-Emper
or in the Field-No Special Prep
arations of Any Kind Are
Made for Him.

New York.-An intimate picture of
the kaiser in the field. the soldier.
emperor whose sharing of the life of
the common soldier has united the
humblest and the highest in Germany
in love, affection and generation. is
given in the following dispatch to the
New York Staats-Zeitung.
The kaiser. to whom the "goulash
cannons," the great travelling kettles
of hot food, owe their existence, is
very favorably inclined toward this
important new continuance on the
field. Many tales are told in evidence
of this, of which the following is one:
A country road in France-soldiers
arrive. carefully carrying dishes. The
dust-covered field grays who are en-
joying their repast suddenly become
attentive. On the road there appear
four riders-officers. One separates
from the group and gallops over to the
''goulash cannon"
Have you a bit left for us?"
AT your service, captain"
Almost Immediately the other three
riders gallop up. The kaiser! in de-
lighted surprise all shout "Hurrah!"
and the highest commander thanks
them with a smile.
How does 1t taste?" he asks. DO
not let me disturb you; l only want
bite to eat, too; am hungry"
Then he rides over to the "goulash
cannon" where the captain already
has a dish filled for him.
He takes it good naturally and eats
in the midst of his soldiers.
Excellent, excellent" he says now
and then and asks for a second por-
ton. Il am taking away your share.
but l will prove my gratitude"
The soldiers are enthusiastic and
proud that the kaiser took his food like
each of them from the same "goulash
cannon" and "dined" in their midst.
A real soldier kaiser! A rousing hur-
rah accompanies him when he takes
leave Of his men with a vigorous Good
day."
In the evening several geese and
chickens were sent as "indemnifcation
for the noon meal" and were eaten
with great Joy for supper.
This little incident is characteristic
of the attitude and life of the kaiser
at the front. for he let's no opportun-
ity pass to take his food from the
"goulash cannon" when he Is visiting
his troops along the battle line. For
this reason no arrangements are ever
made for the kaiser's meals on these
trips.
I'VE will meet a 'goulash cannon"
he always says when asked as to what
he wishes to order for his dinner.
This is also a proof of the excellence
of the food which the troops receive
from the field kitchens. for the kaiser
never announces his arrival before
hand. No special preparations are
made for him.
Il will eat what my soldiers eat"
he has often declared.

Excellent TEA PUNCH
SPECIAL BEVERAGE FOR WARM
DAYS OF SUMMER.
Alcoholic Addition May Be Omitted u
1t Is Not Desired-Grape Cooler
That Is Highly Recommended
by Connoisseurs.

Tea began as a medicine and grew
became famous
In China, in the eighteenth century.
it entered the realm of poetry. and
still earlier in Japan it formed the
excuse for religious cult most es-
thetic. called "Teaism."
The beverage tempers the spirits
and harmonizes the mind, dispels ia
tigue. refreshes the body and clears
the perceptive faculties.
Samuel Johnson draws his own por-
trait as hardened and shameless tea
drinker, who, for twenty years. diluted
his meals with only the infusion of the
fascinating plant; who with tea
amused the evenings, with tea solaced
the midnight and with tea welcomed
the morning."
Tea has not the arrogance of wine,
the self-consciousness of coffee or the
simpering innocence of cocoa, but has
charm Of taste irresistible, and ca
pable Of an idealization all its own.
Meantime let us have our cup Of
afternoon tea. The sun is setting, and
the whisper of the night wind is heard
in our teakettle; for the half-hour be-
fore the dressing bell rings let us
linger and dwell on events of the day
past and the beautiful foolishness Of
things"
For early summer, when the hot tea
with most of us is superseded by the
cold, and to the summer hostess, who
is always glad to know of new ways
of serving cold drinks. we will pass
this recipe for one of the most de-
lightful of tea punches.
Its name even is suggestive of cool
comfort. and after testing it one will
be sure that it is most appropriate.
Hongkong cooIer-Pour one quart
of boiling water over three tablespoon
fuls Of Ceylon tea. Let steep four or
five minutes, strain and cool, adding
four tablespoonfuls of sugar, three
slices OF lemon, two cloves and four
maraschino cherries.
When ready to serve, pour into tall
glasses half full Of shaved ice and add
a dash of Jamaica rum to each glass.
placing spray Of mint that has been
dipped first into iced water, then into
powdered sugar. A strip of candied
orange peel may be added and three
tablespoonful Of pineapple. If one
wants to make the punch more elabo-
rate and complicated in appearance.
Grape cooler-Remove the segments
from one large grapefruit, chill one
quart bottle Of grape Juice; place the
fruit on cracked ice in the punch bowl,
add the grape Juice and sugar to taste.
Lastly pour over it bottle of spar.
king water and serve.
