ted the Same Crimes of Which
Mexican Outlaws Are Now Guilty.
The defense which Secretary Of
War Newton d. Baker offered for Mr..
Wilson's Mexican policies found quick
response from patriotic Americans
but hardly the response Mr.. Baker
could have wished for.
In q speech in Jersey City, the Sec
rotary likened the Mexican revolution
lists to the Continentals who fought
with Washington. He admitted the
Mexicans were a rascally lot, but said
their actions were those of all rebels.
The patriots of the American Reyolu-
ton looted churches and drove minis
tiers from them on their famous march
to Valley Forge, he added.
Protest have come from far and
near. The Empire State Society of
the Sens of the American Revolution
met and adopted a resolution con-
demning ain the strongest terms the
unpatriotic language of the Secretary
of War;" Members of the society
were outspoken in their denunciation.
Some declared that unless his remarks
were repudiated at once by President
Wilson a movement should be start
ed to force the Secretary's resigna-
ton.
Friend Of Bakers Joins.
The Empire State Society meeting
was in the Waldorf-Astoria. In the
chair was Louis Amin Ames, presi-
dent of the society, a Democrat.
stanch supporter of the Administra-
ton and close friend of Secretary
Baker. He was asked If he had any
personal comment to make on the
action of the head of the War De-
partment.
ut is all told in the resolution"
said Mr.. Ames. 1.-THE resolution was
passed unanimously, so 1t embodies
my views"
The resolution follows:
whereas, IL is reported in The
New York Tribune this morning that
meeting held in Jersey City last night,
used the following language rejecting
upon the character of the members Of
washington's army at Valley Forge.
and likened them to the present Next
can revolutionists:
az know that the Mexicans do not
respect American life and property
said Mr.. Baker. know that they
do not pay their debts, that they are
ragamuffins. that they desecrate
Church property, that their money is
no good and that they are generally
worthless. But people never respect
those things in revolutions. We did
not respect them in our Civil War.
WashingtOn's soldiers in the march
to Valley Forge stole everything they
could lay their hands on; took the
silver vessels out of the churches and
sold them to buy drink. They drove
ministers out of the churches. Their
money was worthless and they were
just as bad characters as the Mexi-
cans.
Resolved, Thar we, the descend
ants of the patriots of the Revolu-
ton, condemn in strongest terms the
unpatriotic language of the Secretary
of War, and direct that a copy of
this preamble and resolution be sent
to him."
Similar action win be taken by pa
triotic societies all over the country.

ing when they have had enough.
But what is the fault with
florida cooking?
An important fault is due to
he employment very generally Of
egro cooks who delight in the
generous use of grease. They
poll "a fine steak by frying it in
,rease in addition to the fat of
he steak itself. 1t comes to the
able dripping with this grease
nd what is left in the frying pan
carefully saved for the next
inc. It becomes rancid and false
economy uses it over and over.
70 such things happen in your
,itchenY Probably not, but watch
md see for yourself.
The rich juices of meats are
smothered by this grease and
much of the nourishment is lost
Fish, oysters and many meats and
| foods must be fried in grease, but
there is such thing as too much
even of grease. But what's the
matter with grease in food, too
much of it? 1t is difficult to di-
gest. 1t must be broken up before
it can be digested by the secre-
tons from the liver and pancreas.
The process is slow and an excess
of greasy substance in the food
imposes an unnecessary burden
on the digestive system, resulting
in a general sluggishness of the
entire physical body and finally
in permanent disability.
Feeding is a good deal of a
science. Some one once said that
the way to a mans heart lies
through his stomach. Certain it
is that along the same route lies
the health, the normal activity
and normal development of the
child. It's up to the mothers of
Florida to see this route is not be-
set or clogged by the ignorance of
careless negro cooks.-State
Board of Health Bulletin.

Cooking

"The Lord made food-the De
vii made cooks !"
Whoever said that the first
time probably was inspired by a
poorly prepared meal, which i'm
paired his digestive works, per-
haps brought on a severe head
ache and perfectly justified his
crouch against the cook.
Hundreds and thousands OF dis
peptics since then would have re-
peated and re-echoed the words
If they had realized that they
owed a large share Of their ply
steal ailments and most of their
mental troubles and worries to
poor cooking.
But to have good cook in the
house, an essential preliminary is
a mistress-the housekeeper-
who is a good cook herself, for no
one can boss a job right unless he,
or she, knows just how that job
should be done. Perhaps that s
the reason why so many charming
women preside over beautiful
homes-beautiful in front, in the
parlor-but allow the kitchen to
be a plague spot.
Domestic science, in its many
branches, is often the subject for
discussion at some women S clubs.
Exhaustive papers, deliberately
culled from the cook book or 9TH
err authoritative literature, are
written and read by women, who

IN more intimate circles quietly
remark that they couldn It make
loaf of bread and don't know
how it should be made. The most
practical acquaintance with do
nestle science is gained only in
the home, where the housekeeper
with barred arms and mussed-up
hair and flushed face is studying
out chemistry of cooking in the
laboratory of the kitchen. There
the theories of the cook books are
tested out and discarded if they
don't work. Not until the mis-
treSs is in command of the situa-
ton, equal to all emergencies,
qualified to meet them from her
own practical experience, can
she demand perfection from her
servant.

For answer, watch the crowd

closest examination of individuals
how many out of the average
hundred appear in good health,
strong and content? Not more
than one-half.
Out of the other half, how many
