The Peoples Kitchen.
(New York Sum-

The work of the Peoples Kitchen, which has just been opened through the benevolence of some wealthy phil anthropists, may yet exercise a more far reaching influence on those it is intended to help than the mere relief of immediate necessities. 1t provides at cost price cooked food which may be taken home and enjoyed there. New York is one of the few great capitals of the world not supplied with such places. London is less able to purchase it's food in this way than some of the continental cities. but there are cooked food shops there of which there is no trace here. Only the deIica tessen shops in this city sup ply those who have not all the fla cilities for cooking with their food already prepared to be consumed at home. And warm dishes are not often included in their lists. The cities of France are completely equipped with the facilities for buying food in this form. Then the German cities have their public kitchens. while the smallest of the Italian towns have their cook shops, which practically take the place in many homes of the family kitchen.
 
 vantages in this plan. There is greater economy and there is the sav- ing of time which is most important in the families in which all the mem bers work. With such supplies of food available there is still a possf- bility Of maintaining the family life. In the European cities these sources of the supply of cooked food are not of course eleemosynary in origin They are outside the field of charitable en- terprise and often highly profitable
 Hero all attempts to esta blish the rotisserie as ar institution for the peo- pie have failed. Probably the prices have always been beyond the means of those who are most in need of such assistance. But if the present ad- mirable charity succeeds in making the kitchens sufficiently numerous it will have accomplished much more than it's present good work.

COMPROMISE BETWEEN
 CHINA AND JAPAN
Expected as Outcome of ConfcreR. CeS Between CountriGS' EnvoyS.

Pekin, China, Feb. 26-The out ences which have arisen between China and Japan has improved distinctly. The conferences between representa- tives of the two nations apparently are progressing toward a compromise. The most important step taken in this direction was disclosed here yes terday. The Japanese government has given indications which are re- garded as definite that it will not in sist for the present upon the group of general demands which 1t pre- sented. These include the chief points upon which China based her resistance to the representations from Tokio. The principal demands which Japan is reported thus to have waived for the present are outlined as fol- lows:
 The Chinese government shall con- suit Japan before choosing foreign advisers in political, military and if nancial matters. and if such advisers are employed Japanese shall be pre- ferred.
 Shall Police Jointly.
 China and Japan shall police joint ly important places in China, or Jap anese shall be preferred in case for eign police advisers are employed.
 China shall purchase from Japan at least one-half the arms and am- munition it uses hereafter, otherwise an arsenal shall be established in China employing Japanese experts and materials.
 Japan shall have special privileges in the province of Fukien and shall be consulted first in case foreign cap ital is required in the province for railroad construction, shipbuilding, mining and harbor improveme To Establish Missions. as other nations to esta blish missions, schools and churches throughout the country, with the privilege of propa- sating Buddhism.
 Japan shall enjoy certain emu 1 merated rights in connection with the construction of railroads.
 Twelve Demands Left. only the twelve demands which China already has agreed to discuss con- cerning which it is felt that com promise will be reached.
 Notwithstanding this prospect of an agreement, official press dispatches state that excitement continues to pre- vail in various parts of the country. The Japanese garrison at HankOw is reported to have erected intrench- ments about it's barracks.

Clothing the Great Armies.

(Julius Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle)
 Word comes to me from the allied camps on the French Belgian frontier that life in the trenches is calculated to destroy the best uniform in ten days to a fortnight; In fact, demand for army clothing has increased to such degree that the supply of woven goods has been exhausted in England and France. The British war office insists that her soldiers shall be garbed in. woolen clothing during the winter months. No compromise has been accepted; many thousand yards of wool mixtures have been rejected; but the sources of wool supply are not what they were believed to be and it is now conceded that in very few weeks cotton fiber must be mixed with wool in the looms.
 A statistiCian has calculated that fleeces of 1,00o. 100000 sheep will be needed to supply a new uniform every two weeks to the 7,5O0,00O men in the field during the coming year: There are at present only 70O,000,000 sheep

Rice and Potato Bread.
(New York HeralG.)

The announcement that all bread in Germany must a0w. accordoing to of ticial order, contain a certain propor- ton of rice and potato floul is like Y to be a very interesting subject for speculation for all thoss who have not had practical experience wit I such a compound. Needless to sa :, the combination is emin4.!tly nutr. tious, though nCt quite SO valuable as a foodstuff as bread made ex- clusively from wheat.
 There is pr obably nothing tha. those who arc used to it crave So much after a time as wheat bread if they arc for any reason deprived of it. Any of the, combinations by which less wheat is used become rath- CT tiresome. Physicians have had considerable eX Jcrience with various modes of lessenirg the w eat content of bread for diabetics, but all substi- tutes prove quite unsatisfa ctory after comparatively short time
 Rice replaces wheat in food value very well and besides has a pleasant taste tEat does not pail readily, but potatoes are distinctly less nutritious and, besides, hey impart a definite flavor to b'eaG that does not take long to produce q sense of satiety.
