HOME DEPARTMENT
VALUE OF FIRELEss COOKER

When the cost OF all foods is in
creasing, when the time for pre-
pairing food is decreasing, every
housekeeper must be awake 10 the
new devices for overcoming these
difficulties. The ilreless cooker will
not do everything, but IL can be
used more generally in the future
than IL has been in the past. Tho
Home Science Glass OF 1917 has
made q successful flreless cooker
of lard can, shavings and sawdust,
two tin pals. one Of which Is small
er than the other so that IL can
slip inside the larger. For anything
which needs long, slow cooking by
boiling, this cooker has been found
very useful. A brick or a stove cap
may be used for the radiator which
must go under the kettle. Direc-
tions for making a flreless cooker
from an old trunk or q wooden box
may be obtained from the govern
mcnt. II is true that the food must
be started on the stove. On ironing
day or baking day, there would be
nothing gained by using the ilreless
cooker except where space is limit
ed, but on hot days or Sundays, or
where food burns easily but needs
long cooking. the cooker is inval-
liable. For all the cheaper cuts OF
meat, long, slow cooking is necessary
in order that the greatest food value
may be obtained. All cereals need
the same kind Of treatment. 9he
following recipes ere typical 'ireless
cooker recipes but may be adapted
to stove cooking. For all Of these
recipes the stone or stove cap in the
ilreless cooker must be hot enough
to brown a piece Of glazed paper in
five minutes.

BOYS AGRICULTURE CLUB
MEETING

On May 5, in the Berea National
Bank. was held the first meeting OF
the Boys Agricultural Club, at which
were discussed the plans of the PIG
Club work to be taken up this year
The Bank gave two of the five pigs
that they are going to give to the
different sections of the country. The
one given TO Berea was drawn by
John F. Vaughn. The one for Big
Hill was drawn by Charlie Pigg
County Agent Spence explained the
use of the instructions and record
book: the Importance Of keeping &C
curate records of everything that
was done. The boys were greatly in
terested in the work. The Club this
year is to be run on strictly bust
ness basis and anyone who isn't in
it with this idea will do well to get
out.
Mayor Gay, cashier of the National
Bank, spoke for few minutes to the
boys, explaining the Importance OF
the Boys Agriculture work and the
necessity Of cooperation Of all the
boys and older folks in this work
He brought out that every boy in the
Club is under patriotic obligation to
do his best as the times are calling
for the greatest possible production
at the least cost. We are certainly
glad that the work is attracting the
attention of the business men OF the
town and with their cooperation and
help, great success will be realized
by everyone concerned.
j. w. WEIGH, president of the
Bank, was present and gave the
boys some excellent advice about
their money and the Importance OF
their acquiring and cultivating the
traits now, which will make them
successful BUSINESS farmers. The
first question he asked was, How
many of you have bank accounts
and thirteen OF the fifty raised their
hands. This was a good showing
for boys all Of whom were under
seventeen years Of age. When fall
comes, however, we hope, that, IL
such a question is asked, every one
of the boys will be able TO hold up
his hand. Mr.. WEIGH assured the
cooperation and aid of the National
Bank in this agricultural work. Now
boys with such men as these be-
hind you, let us make this the best
year in the history Of the Club.

According TO statistics, about 5000
people died in Kentucky of tubercu-
losis in 1916, So in this county. BY
the observance>of very simple rules
vt treatment, a large majority OF
these lives might have been saved;

time show nearly 80 in 100. To
awaken public sentiment TO the i'm
portance Of combating the disease,
the tuberculosis Commission, with
headquarters at Frankfort, will
wage "a most vigorous campaign to
educate the masses To the fact that
consumption is no longer regarded
as necessarily fatal disease, but
is both durable and preventable. In
this endeavor, citizens Of every class
are urged to help and Kentucky will
M longer suffer from the fact that
there are more deaths from con-
sumption in il yearly than in any
other state, population considered.

tary Of the Commission will gladly

YiOIette Gets Insurance Money

The supreme court last week affirmed
the Chelan county superior court in the
case of J. B. Violette against the
Queen Insurance Company. Violette
sued in the lower court TO collect
$3.50 as insurance on a stock OF liquor
destroyed in a fire December 80, 1914.
The company claimed the policy had
been cancelled, but it was shown that
an unearned premium had not been
rendered until some time after the fire.
The lower court held the insurance
company must pay and this decision
was affirmed in the supreme court.
Mr.. Violette has now collected $4,000
practically all Of the insurance he had
in force at the time OF the fire.

CHAS. ". WHEELER OVER
40 YEARS RESIDENT OF WASH
Died in Seattle Last Saturday-Visited
Son Here Two Years Ago.

In response to a telegram that his
father had passed away, E. G. Wheeler
left Monday morning for Seattle, where
be met other members OF his family
and proceeded to Waitsburg, Wash.
where burial took place. Mr. Wheeler
was a sufferer from diabetus, and be-
came suddenly i'll about six weeks ago,
since which time his life had been
slowly ebbing away. The most emminent
physicians were called in during his
illness. but his condition seemed to be
hopeless. The disease had fastened
its grip on him and for the past two
weeks his death was almost daily
expected.
Thus passes another Washington
pioneer. Over 80 years ago Mr..
Wheeler founded the Waitsburg Times,
which paper is now owned by his son
E. L. Wheeler. He took prominent
part in the growth and upbuilding of
that city, and became widely known
thruout the state. About ten years
ago he retired from active life and has
spent most OF his time since then on
the coast.
He visited his son here about two
years ago, and will doubtless be re-
membered by many. Though IS years
Of age, he was apparently in the best
OF health up to his last illness. He
came to this state in 1875, and during
the eighties served the territory as
superintendent of the department Of
public instruction. He lived an active
and useful life and his death will be
regretted by host Of friends thruout
the state.
He was born in the state OF Missouri
where he was married and with his
young wife crossed the plains in 1912
and located in Waitsburg. He served
the county OF Walla Walla as super
intendent Of public schools four years.
Six feet, Q inches tall, weighing 200
pounds, and with a mass of shaggy
hair that had become gray with the
advancing years, Mr.. Wheeler was a
striking figure at Odd Fellow banquets
for years, having served the order as
lecturer and winning a reputation as an
after-dinner speaker.

WRECK ON THE WENATCHH
VALLEY NORTHERN FRIDAY
Two Cars, One Loaded With Wood, Get
Away and Hit Logging Train-HarY
Ahearn Had Arm Broken

Last Friday afternoon, thru the care
lessness Of some men two fiat cars got
away at camp No. l and ran wild down
the track hitting the rear end OF train
Of five cars of logs about one mile north
Of town.
Harry Ahearn who was in charge OF
the logging train was on the rear car
and did not see the cars coming. He
says the rumble Of his own train pre-
vented him from hearing the oncoming
cars, which are believed to have at
tanned speed Of over sixty miles per
hour. Ahearn's right arm was broken
between the wrist and elbow, beyond
this he was not injured. Brakeman
Sheldon suffered slight bruise on the
leg. Another man on the train was
slightly bruised. The engineer was in
charge Of the engine but neither he
nor his fireman was injured.
The getting away Of the cars was due
to the carelessness OF some men who
were unloading wood from the two
fats. They had unloaded on car and
attempted to drop the other car down
to the unloading point and stop it with
pieces OF wood, but their calculations
failed. The wood would not work, and
being on a seven per cent down grade
the two cars started of, gathering speed
as they went. From where they got
away to where they struck the train is
about four miles.

FIXING THE PRICE OF
FOOD STUFF BY LAW
Statement BY Secretary of Agriculture
Clears the Atmosphere.

Because so much has been said
about Just what the government in
tended to do in regard to fixing the
price Of food stuffs under the law re-
Gently passed by congress, giving the
agricultural department authority to
regulate food prices Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston, in reply to letter OF
inquiry, asking what steps if any his
department would take in the matter
Of regulating prices, writes:
Your letter Of May /, with en-
closure, has been brought to nv at
tention. Your correspondent expresses
apprehension from the talk in the new
papers about the Government setting a
price on foodstufs. He seems to think
that it is contemplated to fix price to
producers which would be so low that
they could not secure a reasonable re-
turn. OF course there has been much
confused writing in the papers. Only
two suggestions have been made. One
is that the Government be given power
to fix a minimum price with a view to
stimulate production. This price would
be sufficiently high to insure producers
against loss. 1t could not have the
effect feared by your correspondent,
because the very objects would be to
stimulate production by assuring
sufficiently high prices to producers.
The other suggestion is that the Gov
eminent be given power to fix a maxi
mum price, in extreme emergencies,
to break corners or to control extortion.
1t is not contemplated that the Gov
eminent, il it had the power to fix a
maximum price, would announce the
existence Of such price in reference
" duy OuC VI tuOlC COulnOulllCo III
advance OF the appearance Of an acute
situation; nor is it contemplated that
such a price, il fixed would be Of con-
tinuing operation. The single thought
in this connection is that the power
might be used as club, to be applied
only in individual cases where it is
clear that an individual or corporation
had established a corner or was
practicing extortion. The power, it is
suggested would be used against such
individuals OF corporations, and when
that particular situation was controlled
or the abuse eliminated. the incident
would be closed. Any further exercise
Of the power would depend upon the
appearances Of a similar condition"
