HAVE SYSTEM IN KITCHEN
Writer Tells Of Scheme by Which She
Has Lessened Work-Cleaning the
oven Shelves.

have n great deal of baking TO do
on cooking day, but find that much
time can be saved by making my bread
first. While the bread is baking l
make pie crust. l then set the pie
crust aside and make my cake, and
then finish the pies. While the cake
and pies are baking | make my dough-
nuts. Consequently, while the dough
nuts are frying my pies and cakes are
baking, with the result that all my
days cooking Is finished at one time,
oven shelves should be regularly re-
moved from the oven or gas stove and
scraped with an old blunt knife. Rub
them with paper and wash thoroughly
with fairly hot, strong soda water be-
fore they are put back into the oven
or stove to dry.-Delineator.

Badger Soldiers Live on Less
Than 27H Cents Day
for Each Man.
MAKING MONEY BY ECONOMY
Amount of Patton Allowance Not Used
by Mess Sereeants Is Paid Into
Company Funds by the
Government.

San Antonio, Textile Wisconsin
soldiers are liHely to return home from
the border with some money In their
pockets even If they are only paid 80
cents day by Uncle Sam.
Under the federal system of pro
vlsioning and feeding troops,'a certain
allowance is allotted each man per
day. For instance, during the month
of July each mans daily ration allow
ance was 2Tl4 cents. AT the end of
the month if company has kept be
low its mess allowance, the balance of
the money is turned over to the com
pany commander in the form of a
check drawn on the treasurer of the
United States. During the first 20
days in camp, Battery A was S367Tl
under its mess allowance and received
check for the amount. During the
first ten days the field hospital corps
saved about $40. This money is put
into the company fund and at the end
of the encampment is divided among
the men, Nearly every company in the
Wisconsin brigade is below its ration
allowance and has a neat sum In the
government bank.
Company and regimental canteens
also are netting neat profits for the
soldiers.
Whether or not a company has a
check coming from the government at
the end of each month out of its mess
allowance depends on the mess SER
geant. If he studies the system Of
fesding his men SO that he does not
oyerrun each mans ration, but instead
keeps under the government allowance,
the company is almost certain to have
bank account from the start.
Nearly every company is doing 1t
without skimping the meals of the
men. The men are allowed TO come
back to the kitchen for seconds and
there is scarcely a kick to be heard
any more about the quality or amount
of food.

Odd Places to Hide Cash.

The woman who. as just revealed In
the law courts, hid her savings on her
mothers grave in Forest HIN Gene
terry, probably hit upon unique cache.
But there is no saying. The person
who mistrusts savings banks generally
looks around for the most unlikely
spot in which to deposit wealth, and
more than one may hit or the same
idea. Old cannon, for instance, seem
to form favorable depositors. Quite
quantity of jewelry was found some
while ago in solitary gun which
stands In fort ut Shoreham, and about
the same time bag containing 20
sovereigns was doiscovered In an old
cannon in Peel park, Bradford. From

FOR IDEAL CLUB SANDWICH

low These instructions.

The club sandwich forms an ideal
quick luncheon, with cup of choco-
late or tea 1t is delicious after
rheater tidbit. Moreover, it is easy
to make in the dining room, with the
aid OF a chatting dish and electric
toaster. 1t has so many varieties that
1t can be served frequently without be-
coming monotonous
To begin with, its foundation is n
slice of hot buttered toast ut the bot
tom and another ut the top. Between
these two slices there must be lettuce
and mayonnaise and boiled or fried
bacon. Besides these Ingredients many
other things can be used.
Perhaps what one may call the con-
yentional club sandwich contains On
the foundation slice Of toast n crisp
piece of lettuce, n spoonful Of thick
mayonnaise, a slice of chicken breast,
two crisp slices of bacon, a slice of
tomato, more lettuce and mayonuaise,
and the cover of toast.
Instead of the tomato slice OF to-
mato Jelly may be used, or some shreds
of sweet green or red pepper, or three
slices of cucumber, or sliced sweet
gherbins or sliced stuffed olives may
be used.
Or else over the toast may be spread
a mixture of chopped celery and may
onnaise or chopped sweet pepper and
mayonnaise or chopped olives and may
onnaise.
Instead of the chicken one may use
sliced tongue or sliced veal or sliced
lamb.
A thin silver of broiled boiled ham
may be substituted for the bacon.
Fish paStes may also be used in
stead of the chicken, with or without
the bacon, Sardines boned and skin
ned and rubbed to paste with mayon-
naise, are good.
The lower slice of toast may be
spread with thin coating of pate de
foie gras, then the chicken bacon and
mayonnaise can be added, then lettuce,
and the top slice Of toast-with or
without the slice of tomato.

Expect to Go to Border.

The Wisconsin troops are now more
confident than ever that they will see
some real patrol duty on the border be-
fore they are sent home. This belief
has been heightened by the recent post
ing of an order authorizing the release,
when the troops leave for the border
of men who have Il month or less to
serve. The order also directs that
men whose enlstments expire soon
shall not be held under the three-year
reserve oath, but that they may re-en-
list If they desire.
There is a general belief that the
Badger soldiers will go farther south
after they return from their hike to
Leon Springs, where they are sched-
uled to have two weeks target prac-
tice.
The belief of the men that they will
go to the border Is strengthened by the
fact that ii is known that the Wiscon-
sin troops made very favorable i'm
preston upon General Funston. The
commander watched the dress drills Of
the Wisconsin regiments and com
mended the men highly on their phys
zeal appearance.
The Wisconsin troops have also
strongly impressed the regular army
officers by their ability to stand long
marches in the blazing sun. The
Badgers have made a clean record In
this respect. On one day in a march
of between 10 and IL miles with full
service equipment, only one man was
forced to drop out although the hike
was taken while the heat was intense.

Candles In Favor.

No matter how convenient the cleo
tric lamp, in one of its many attractive
forms. may be, there are many Of us
who find the candle Of our grandmoth-

What is It that we love about the
candle? Is It the fascination Of an
tiqulty? DO we love to dwell on the
thought that candles have lighted the
revelries of Versailles, the religious
ceremonlals OF medieval churches the
early White House balls, the New Eng
land homestead and the southern plan
tation In all their comfortable homeli-
ness? Or is It that candles cast more
bewitching play of light and shadow, a
most becoming color, over ones face,
that we cling TO them for dinner lights
and Ike TO have them at our bedsidel
Let who will decide the question. In
the meantime, let US continue TO in
dulge our liking for candles and can

BADGER Camp Most Sanitary.

Badger troops, which have won
praise from regular chiefs since their
arrival i'm Texas because of their
good conduct and appearance, have
gained still another distinction. The
camp of the Wisconsin brigade has
been declared the most sanitary of any
of the state troops on the border.
The sanitary officers of the Wiscon-
sin brigade have worked unrelnitting-
ly TO bring the sanitary conditions OF
the camp to such state that there
would be no room for Improvement.
There is not speck OF refuse In the
whole camp. And as result there Is
no place where flies or other disease
carrying insects may feed. Careless
ness viii not be tolerated.

dependents will not leave the service,
according to Capt. Philip c. Westfall.
He declares that iaasfnuch rs the
people OF the state will aid families Of
soldiers, the artillerymen will remain
in service. They do not consider this
charity but believe that the state
should see that the families of soldiers

charity about It, the men would not ac-
cept, but they look at it in IN entirely

Badgers Surprise Army Men.

Army officers here were surprised
when they learned that Wisconsin re-
cruits had all received some instruc
ton In target practice before leaving
Camp Douglas. Practically no other

Credit is given Gen. Orlando Hcl.

instructor of rifle practice, for their
efforts TO give the recruits all the train.
ing possible in the short time they had
to make them better soldiers. Every
recruit had some practice on the range.
This was not given with the view of
making them marksmen as the time
was too short, but to familiarize them
with the rifle as many of them had
never had an army rifle or any other
kind of rifle in their hands before en-
listing when mobilization was ordered.
This training will be big advantage
TO the Wisconsin men when they are
taken out for rifle practice in Texas.
Many men in other regiments will have
w N'"AN NAiSi Z Aht w ioNpllNih tutH SURF
ed AT Camp Douglas, with the newt
able result that the Badgers will stand
in the lead. For instance the Wscon-
sin men are thoroughly familiar with
the principles of shooting, such as
proper breathing, proper method Of
pressing the trigger and holding the
rifle to prevent great Jars and hard
kicking, setting sights for various dis
tances and figuring windage. All this
must be learned before a recruit can
hope to hit a target.
