Herman Guaranteed $4,000.
Financial details OF the titular com
bat will be OF interest. Herman will
receive a guarantee OF $4,000 Burns
is gambling with the promoters on
the drawing power Of this match. The
Jersey boy has accepted 80 per cent Of
the receipts for his bit. Promoters of
the encounter are taking considerable
risk, as on the basis OF the foregoing
figures the box office will have to
show better than $4,000 for the club
TO break even.
However. the financial aspect of the
affair is of minor importance with
ring fans. What they are interested in
particularly is the outcome of the
struggle
At the age Of 2s, and more or less
worn by the stress OF many battles
is Frankie Burns capable of holding
his own with lusty youngster seven
years his Junior? Close students OF
Herman in Prime.
1t is only natural to believe that
advancing years have sapped the
strength Of the Jersey lad. Herman,
on the contrary. is full of the zest OF
battle. The title holder is a mighty
fine little fighting machine. Perhaps
he is not TO be compared with the Kid
Williams that was, or Johnny Coulon
either, when the latter was in his
prime. But this cannot rightfully be
considered as a reflection on Herman's
championship. OF the horde of BAN
tams bidding for public favor today,
Herman easily stands apart. He has
demonstrated this in many stout en-.
counters since he won the title.
Burns Last Chance.
Burns has had several chances TO
win the highest honors Of his class.
but he always fell a trifle short OF
measuring up to championship ouali-
fications. He fought Coulon four
times while the Chicagoan held the
title. Three Of the matches were of
the no-decision variety, the other was
a twenty-round affair and Coulon won
the decision.
After Coulon had been toppled from
his perch by Williams, Burns became
persistent challenger OF the Dane.
They finally were matched for a twen-
ty-round scrap at New Orleans in De-
cember 1915, and in this contest
Burns succeeded in holding the title
holder to draw. This was the near
est Burns ever came to winning the
championship.
Burns believes. however, that he
Will realize his life's ambition in the
coming contest with Herman. The
Jersey boy thinks he has something"
on the present boss of his class. II
VIII be recalled that Burns sent Her
man spinning and sprawling for the
count In the thirteenth round of a bat
tie that was staged at New Orleans
In 1912. This was before Herman be-
came the champion. Burns believes
he can duplicate that feat and he hAx
carefully groomed himself to that end.
III he fails this time then his pros
poets of ever affixing the title to his
name will have passed forever

Half an hour before it is cooked stir in half a
tablespoonful of mixed ground cinnamon and

than are needed for one l would also suggest
that either veal or lambs tongue may be sub
stituted for the beef. If economy must be
closely considered, plain boiled mutton Will
form no mean substitute.
Homemade mincemeat is always to be pre-
ferred to the very best varieties that can be
purchased. AS cleaned raisins and currants
can now be bought by the package, the work
of preparing it is greatly simplifed. Exact
proportions or weight should be used in the
making, although in the matter of spices,
sweetening and other favoring the individual
taste may be followed.

CENTRAL SCHOOL KITCHEN AS AN ECONOMIC FACTOI

As stood watching the lines Of children get
ting their lunches, one small Italian lad was
beating his chest
81 have lost my penny" he sobbed, dramati-
cally "My penny! cannot do my lesson with
no soup in me-"
Here was q childish understanding Of the
economic value Of food!
But another small boy, with the magnitude
of charitable millionaire, thrust into his dirty
hand penny.

with lordly air. Il have four pennies, and
only really need three. Another day you buy
me a banana
The tactfulness of Houston Street is quite
amazing. For the wee Italian lad who had
been beating his chest had not been given one
penny, or two pennies, or three pennies that
morning-but he was proud! Pennies were not

And the little comrade understood
The committee has studied the plan OF
central kitchens in New York so carefully that
value of central and separate school kitchens
The concentration of labor and energy, the
economy of cooking, planning, organizing from
large central point, has been proved Of vast
Importance.
So that, last February, when the central
kitchen was opened at Tompkins and Delaney
streets the biggest step was taken thus far in
the school lunch work. or its success there
seems to be not the shadow Of doubt. The
cutting of Of separate kitchens each year has
lowered the deficit. And now the expenditures
are still less-the children properly nourished
are many more
FEEDING FOR FUTURE CITIZENSHIP
For health and economics walk hand in hand.
And brains and poor health quarrel.
The right food, the correct numbers OF Gallo
res. helps the brain cells TO do their work.
The Board of Education Is seeing this, the
school lunch committee has seen this, and the
Zig central kitchen has proved TO those inter-
ested in the thousands of children in our pub
lie schools the tremendous value Of the work
Fewer and fewer will be the cases Of malnu-
triton as more children are given good lunches.
Better and better will be the mental and moral
results of the public schools.
For food plays an important part in life no
matter what we may wish to say TO the con-
trary, and in these days Of the high cost OF
living it is a relief to hear Of expenses being
cut and more people being fed
Those who are making the central kitchen
success may well scott at grocers who try TO
make food not necessity, but luxury.

as swiftly as possible; add three tablespoonsful
of powdered sugar and fold in the meringue.
Freeze slowly as for sherbet and serve in crys-
tai ice cups.
BAKED APPLE SOUFFLE
This is very simple and good dessert, and
can also be the means Of using up leftover"
sauce Boil some peeled and cored apples until
tender. Press through colander and season to
taste with honey, grated nutmeg and vanilla
extract. Place this PURGE in a graniteware
saucepan and let it cook until quite firm and
dry. Be careful that it does not burn. To one
cupful of the hot, reduced apple PURGE add the
whites of three eggs, whipped very stiff, with
heaping tablespoonful Of powdered sugar. Fold
the meringue in lightly, turn into a deep dish
quickly and bake from twenty 10 twenty-five
minutes. Serve with custard sauce made from
the egg yolks.
APPLE CUSTARD PIE
Dissolve one tablespoonful Of cornstarch In
little cold water and stir into one and half
cupsful Of hot water. Cook, stirring constantly,
until it boils; then cook over hot water for
eight minutes. Add one cupful Of grated maple
sugar, one teaspoonful Of lemon juice, pinch
Of salt, one tablespoonful Of margarine cut into
bits and the yolks Of two eggs, lightly beaten.
Cook only for a couple Of minutes after the
eggs are added, then remove from the fire and
mix in one cupful Of thick, tart apple sauce.
Allow the mixture TO cool slightly, pour into a
baked pastry shell and cover the top with q
meringue made from the stifiy whipped egg
whites and tablespoonful Of powdered sugar.
Return to the oven until deicately Drowned.

apple sauce that has been cooked with grated
orange peel, corn syrup, stick cinnamon and
seeded raisins. Spread between the cake, cover
over the top with the remainder and serve i'm
mcdiately with thin cream.
In preparing the sauce for an average sized
cake use five apples, one small cupful Of seeded
raisins the rnd from one large orange one
broken stick of cinnamon and one cupful Of
corn syrup. Water should be added only to
keep the fruit from burning, as the finished
sauce must be very thick. Remove the stick
cinnamon before using in the cake.

had been visiting the schools where lunches
are served to the children. l had seen hot
soup smelling so good! Salads so gay and
tempting, nourishing vegetables, cocoa, tapi-
oca. and thousands of children with their little
trays getting these good things.
They were used to the cheap, unnourishing
food" my guide explained. They liked the
taste Of the pushcart vender's lunches because
they had grown accustomed to them-and,
though their little tummies used TO rebel and
protest, the poor, wee mites didn't know it was
he food that was causing the TROUBLED"
But at last Nature won. From the cleaning
black eyes Of a small Jewish youth as we en-
tered another school, saw the look Of antici-
mated delight as he held out his little tin cup
refore the steaming cauldron and said, in
tone worthy Of an epicure, "Soup!"
He know that the soup would be good and
shat he would feel good" afterward.
THE FIRST SCHOOL LUNCHEONs
When it was found, in 1909, that the school
children were not getting nourishing food, and
That in consequence they could not work so well,
Mss Mabel II. Kittredge started school lunch
committee.
For, as this committee argued, "Why educate
the children free of charge when they are
stupid from lack of food? Cannot food be
given them almost without ldss?'
And so the school lunch committee accom-
plished its mission and now school lunches
have become feature But this year new
scheme is being worked over.
In 1915 I6,16l cases of malnutrition were
found in the New York public schools but the
percentage is gradually decreasing. Last year
nineteen schools with central kitchens" fur
nished forty-seven public schools with lunches
so that the children could take their meals at
the cost of few pennies.
The children who wished to bring bread and
buy hot soup could do so. Those who waited
on the others, thereby earning their meals,
we're given their lunches free of charge.
The equipment of kitchens has been pro-
vided partly by the Board of Education, while
the Board of Estimate and Apportionment has
voted enough 10 allow the committee to extend
its work this year to about sixty schools.
The children are invariably fed in three
shifts. In the schools which have central
kitchens it has been proved that the concentra-

been merged with this one, thereby making it
possible to have everything centred in one
place-everythng working right.

Is nothing but Notwithstanding small and

taken to see that they are given the special
food they require.
VERY NEARLY SELF-SUPPORTING
To defray the cost of the services of workers
constitutes the only part that is now left to
the school lunch committee. The children
pay for the food. The Board Of Education
pays for the kitchens, and before long this
work will prove its economic value to such a
degree that there will be no opposing voices.
There will be nothing but cooperation and help.
