Written Before Christ,

All the books of the Old Testament
were written long before the birth of
Christ, some Of them as much us 1,400
years before, others from 500 to 1000
years before, and none less than 300
to 400 years before. The Gospels and
other books of the New Testament
were written from 33 to 60 or 70 years
after the birth of Christ.

"She did not believe she would be

the whole year. None of the other
three hundred and sixty-four nights
were anything compared to Christmas

'She stayed very still in bed and
she really did try quite hard to go to

very happy if she had stayed awake

But when her mother had told her
that Santa Claus was on the lookout

FANCY CHEFS GIVEN LESSON
Best in the Business Are Able to Learn
Something From the Manua! for
Army Cooks, Says Wallace
Irwin.
By WALLACE IRWIN.

A few weeks ago the quartermaster
generals department, faithful to it's
complicated task of supplying every
thing from shoes to sugar to a rap
idly forming army of over million
men, telegraphed an appeal to So lead
ing hotel proprietors throughout the
country asking the loan of 3,84O chefs
and expert cooks to teach the science
of gastronomics to the kitchens of our
16 new environments.
Now, the Observation-Disclosures old
mess sergeants Of our regular army
cooking schools-of which four have
fourished for many years-are willing
and anxious to sit at the feet of the
capable wizards who have fed Fifth
avenue and fremont street; but so

Of 1916 that they pause reflectively in
their scientifically arranged pantries

maybe few of those fancy chefs will
go back to their hotels with one or
two choice recipes we'll worth trying
on the favored fellow who always gets
by the plush rope and calls the head
waiter by his first name.
AS a matter of fact NJ. Panchard,
famous chef of the Hotel McAlpin,
New York, was 'floaned" a while back
in order to gain sufficient knowledge
of army cookery to instruct National
Guard kitchens in various New York
armories. M. Panchard spent two days

normal. The greatest difficulty came
after the Revolution, as all the servant
class went on a strike, and while stay
ing at one of the leading hotels in this
city was obliged TO make my own bed
and take care of my room. Everybody
had to do the same and there was no
complaints made, in fact person
could consider himself lucky to have a
bed to make as the city was crowded to
overflow. To secure room at hotel
in Russia is somewhat different than in
this country. There you go in and
slip the clerk at the desk ten Rubles
before mentioning anything about
room. Finally when he has your
money tucked nicely away in his
pocket you put the question. In this
way you are sure to get some kind OF
an accommodation.
From Moscow / returned to Petro-
grad which is twelve hours distant by
rail. Upon my arrival [ found there
was a state of happy anarchy existing:
everybody seemed to be having good
time and doing about as he pleased.
Two new occupations had sprung up
since my former visit making speeches
and chewing sun flower seeds. Under
the old government chewing sun
flower seeds was forbidden for two
reasons, first they contain a certain
ingredient which sets as narcotic and
after they have eaten few quarts of
them they sit down and fall to sleep;
second they only eat the kernel and the
husk was spit out with the result that
street was covered with them. Now,
however, they were free to engage in
their favorite past time.
AS could not qualify for either of
these new occupations [ decided to get
out by the back door and got busy try
ing to secure a ticket for Vladivostok

train ran once week and although it
Was the middle of June the man in the
railroad ticket office told me all tickets
for this train were sold up to the latter
part of October. By the aid of friend
who knew how to do things in Russia
[ succeeded in securing ticket after
enlisting the services of all the hotel
porters and ticket brokers in the city,
as we'll as personally running down
dozen or more clews which we thought
might result in securing one. 1t took
five days to get possession OF real
ticket, and | might add that it also had
read price attached, in fact five times
it's real size. Having, in the meantime,
gotten permission from the Police
Department to leave and my pass port
put in order, Tuesday evening at 7:3Q
found me on the Trans Siberian Elk
press. After few husky Russian
officers, who were armed with swords,
also huge revolvers and trench knives,
kissed each other good bye, the man on
the platform gave three taps of the bell

Credit to Old Sergeant.

Of those 'born to the griddle," who
has the same advantage over the Ordi-
nary aspirant to kitchen honOrs that
Kubelik had from birth over the little
girl next door.
He was not man of education in
the ordinary acceptance Of the word,
but he was a frst-class army cook.
On scraps of wrapping paper or old
bills he kept copy of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by
Colonel Holbrook, then in command at
Fort Riley, and published in a little
book called Methods of Handling
Army Rations," which has developed
into the Manual for Army Cooks" the
textbook in the army schools for cooks
and bakers started in 1900 by Com.
Gen. Sharpe, now quartermaster gen.
eral. And a perusal of it's contents,
after sampling the results Of it's coun-

words fitted years ago to the bugler's
