A moment later Aunt Josephine left

Just then Jennings came into the

Nobody ever gives enough credit
to the cook. We all enjoy a gooo
dinner, but after 1t is eaten. and the
dishes cleared away. how seldom we
think what has been the effect on
humanity of the kind Of meals that
have been eaten three times day
(sometimes less, rarely more) for
centuries!
Cooking is one Of the principal
forces in civilization, and 1t mas
played a tremendous part In bring
ing mankind to the high plane 1t now
holds.
The principal reason for cooking
our food is to destroy disease germs.
For many ages no one knew wnat
caused illness, but now nearly al
maladies are traceable to these tiny
germs, many of which are founo IN
food. and can be destroyed only oy
the heat of cooking.
Man, owing to the very com
plicated machinery of his body. faiis
q prey to disease more easily than
the animals. Consequently food which
an animal can take without harm
may kill q man. Cooking destroys
q large proportion, of the parasites MI
crobes and bacteria in food. thus CIV
ing man a chance to digest diet tnas
otherwise would kill him.
Frequently one forgets that COOK
ing is primarily not intended to make
food more pleasant to the taste. Dut
to make 1t easier to digest. But
when a dish is toothsome 1t makes
the mouth water. or, n other WORDS
it causes a great deal Of saliva to
flow, with the result that the saliva

together, and the food is more easily
made available for digestion
If. however, the cook is anxious to
tickle the taste of the man who Is 10
eat her food and thinks more OF
satisfying the palate Of IAN epicure
than of the digestibility of the meal,
she is only storing up trouble for tn'
eater.
In order to achieve the best results
in the destruction of bacteria. and
in the increasing of dfgestibility.
meat and other foods should be sub
jected first to intense heat, 80 as to
form a retaining skin, az is done In
roasting or broiling. Then the heat
should be reduced and kept on for
long term, during which the juices
gradually soften the muscular abers.
This acts as o deathblow to the
| millions of bacteria which would 9TH
erwise have found q place in the stom-
ach of the man or the woman who
was to eat 1t.
From this point Of view, therefore.
the cook Is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the upward progress
of the race from brute to man. Cooks
have been as much a benefactor to
the race as q whole as they have been
q boon to the hungry. It 10 the cook

Already we could hear the ham

Almost before he could cry out and

Kennedy had voluntarily placed him

slid it forward as best he could over

struck.
