American Protest To
 Britain Also Goes To
 Germany and Austria

Washington, November 19-America' s protest against the placing of nearly all articles of commerce on the contra band lists of European belligerents will go to Germany and Austria as well as to Great Britain and her allies. It be- came known today that when the forth coming note to Great Britain regarding interference with neutral trade Is for warded virtually identical notes will be dispatched to the TeuronIc allies and to France and Italy.
 So far as Germany and Austria are concerned. officials regard the protest as more or less academic in view of the fact that their commerce raiders and cruisers no longer are on the high seas and their seizures of contraband are limited to the work of submarines In retaliation for the issuance of the British blockade orders in council, however, Germany has promnlgated a list of contraband that includes most American products
 The rote is approaching completion.

GOVERNOR ID ISSUE FULL STATEMENT OF
 STATES CONDITION
Will Furnish Basis of Strong Argument Henderson Will Make in Favor of the
 Bond Issue

Montgomery, November 19.-(Speciai) ) Governor Henderson next Sunday will is- sue through the press full and com plete statement of the states financial condition. The statement will contain a thorough review and analysis of the states condition at the present time; will show the deficit in the treasury, the ap- proximate revenues for the present fiscal year, comparison with other years, and will contain various other matters of interest to the pubic.
 The governors review of the state s financial condition will furnish the basis for strong argument which ha will make in favor of the bond issue. As Is known, the states deficit is now greater than it has been at any time since re- construction days, and each year shows an increase in the deficit over the pre- ceding year.
 In the opinion of the governor, the rati- fication of the bond issue of s1,5oOo00 of- fers the only solution to the question. This money, if authorized, will be used to pay the states debts. not for the purpose of taking care of appropriations, nor to be applied on new accounts. TO CREATE STRONG SENTIMENT
 The governors statement is expected to arouse considerable interest through out the state, and it is believed that it will at once create strong public senti- ment in favor of the bond issue. Within a few days after the publication of the statement. the governor will name a state campaign committee to take active charge of the fight.
 This committee, as heretofore an- nounced, will be nonpolitical in nature. Men who fought for Conner and prohibi- ton as well as Henderson will be named on the committee. The principal qualiri- cation of the members composing the committee will be their business ability
 As proof of this. it Is understood that well known banker of Montgomery will be chairman of the committee, and bank CTS and business men from all parts of the state will assist him in the cam paign to be waged. The chief work of this committee will be educational, to show to the people of the state the urgent necessity of ratifying the bond issue.
 Governor Henderson and other leading men of the state are expected to take the stump in advocacy of the bond issue, and it is announced that speeches will be made in practically every county in Alabama.
 The campaign will be brief, lasting less than two months. for the election on the amendment will be on January IS, next But in the interval vigorous efforts will be made in behalf of the bond issue. and the governor and administration leaders are confident of success.

The special train bearing the relic will reach Jackson, Miss. shortly after midnight and is due in Memphis at S;3o o'clock tomorrow morning. Efforts of local officials to have the train remain here overnight and resume it's regular schedule tomorrow were unavailing.

Generally it will be framed to recall to the belijgerent powers the practices of nations in the treatment of contraband prior 10 the war and even before the declaration of London was written. The right of @ belligerent to extend the list of absolute contraband beyond the limits recognized by international law before the outbreak of war will be challenged and particular objection will be made to wholesale additions to the contraband list animated by spirit of retaliation as in the case of nearly all of the present bel ligeren.s
 That declarations of contraband should be limited to articles not merely avail able for military use, but designed chief ly for that purpose, will be one of the principal contentious. This will involve a reassertion of the right of a neutral state, such as the United States, to ship food, cotton and copper to the civilian population of belligerent country un- der reasonable assurance that the goods will not he. communicated for military uses.
 Particular objection will be made, it is understood to the seizure of American goods, even though contraband destined for consumption in neutral country and are not bound for beliigerent port.

CHILD MALFORMED

pr. Haiselden, in his testimony, said he did not reach his final decision not to operate until he had consulted 15 prac- ticing physicians, IA of whom approved the course of letting the little life expire The mother of the child, wife of work man, and the mother of three other chil- dren, all physically and mentally normal also agreed that the baby would be bet ter off dead, he declared.
 'I did not operate first, because of the deformity of the child, and, second be- cause of the seriousness of the case,' he said T did not urge the parents to fol low my advice. I simply gave my opin- ion as consulting surgeon. I was nor ally certain the child would be defec- tive.''
 Dr. Haiselden said he based his opinion on the chld's actions. He said he was unable to determine beyond all doubt thai the child was both deaf and blind. He said, however. it failed to respond to the customary light tests and that the fact that one of the ears was not developed at all and the development of the other was only parliamentary, convinced him that the child was deaf,

 "A question of tremendous importance is at once raised as to whether the right of any child to live should rest wholly on the judgment of any physician. do not want to be understood as question ing the right of any physician to act as his conscience or judgment in any particular case would dictate, and to oper ate or not operate, in accordance there with. but at the same time the life of every child should be so safeguarded by inc community that it would not have to depend upon the judgment of any one or two physicians.
 eff we are going to depart from the recognized duty of the physician 10 save life regardless of what that life shall be afterwards, then the state must provide some tribunal similar to that of ancient Sparta, which questioned the right of every child to live until 1t had been passed upon by this tribunal"

PROCESS OF STEWING
REGULATION OF HEAT is THE
MAIN CONSIDERABLE I.
On That Account II Is Best to Use
Gas, When Possibie-Glazed Earth
enware Jar Should Be Re-
ceptacie Employed.

Stewing is a method of food prepare
ton that approaches the soupmaking
process. 1t is to some extent a pro-
ceeding that occupies a middle posi-
tion between boiling and baking; the
latter is often called roasting. In
be to extract from the meat it's nutri-
tive juices, and then to employ those
juices, suitably treated, to finish cook
ing the remainder of the meat. For
successful stewing, the most impor-
tant point is the power of regulating
the heat at which the operation is
conducted. In order to stew success
fully the heat must be absolutely un-
der the cooks control. The up-todate
cook, therefore, prefers gas for stew
ing purposes on account of the perfect
control that can be exercised over the
temperature.
For successful stewing, meat should
be divided into small portions for the
easy extraction of the juices. Where
bones exist, these should be broken
into small pieces, and form an under
layer in the stewing vessel. The meat
and bones ought always to be placed
in cold water and the water should
cover everything in the pan or jar.
The lid or cover should be carefully
secured, and the temperature must be
gradually raised to steady heat,
which must, of course, be below boil
ing. The extraction of the meat juices
then proceeds, and when vegetables
are to be added to the stew they are
placed in the vessel at later stage.
Boiling and stewing are by no means
the same process. The proper tenn
perature for stewing is about $50 de-
grees Fair. AS almost everybody
knows, the boiling point is 212 Fair.
A glazed earthenware jar with a
tight-ftting cover is most useful for
stewing meat, or for making soups. II
1t has no cover, one should be con-
structed by fitting plate or saucer on
top of the jar and brown paper should
then be tied over it. A jar with
cover saves this trouble. and is, there
fore, worth the extra expense. Earth
enware or stone jars are very easily
kept clean, and food does not spoil
when left in them, as it may do If
left in metal pan. They can be
placed on the top of the stove or in the
oven when it is necessary to reheat
the food contained in them, or II
placed in pan of boiling water the
contents of the jar will cook slowly
without attention from the cook. A
meat stew can be served in the Jar in
which 1t has been cooked, If 1t is
neither too large nor too high. 1t must
Of course, be wiped dry and a napkin
may be neatly folded around it. BY
this process the great advantage of a
very hot dinner may be obtained in
the coolest weather, even when the
whole family does not reach the home
at exactly the same hour, as a stone
or earthenware jar, having been thor
oughly heated, will retain the heat for
some time.-American Cookery.
