SECRETARY OF

 OPENS KITCHEN

LONDON. April 19.-Opening ma. tional kitchen at Stoke Newington MT. Clynes, parliamentary secretary to the ministry of food, said there were not enough of these institu tions in existence.
 "The best meals l have had of late have been these obtained under such conditions as in this building where food is prepared under sani tary conditions, and where you are certain there is no motive for per sonal gain or profit" he said. At recent trial one of the wit nesses was a green countryman, un used to the ways of the law, but quick. as it proved, to understand its principles. After severe cross-ex animation the counsel for the prose cution paused, and then, putting or a look of severity, exclaimed.
 MT. Kilkins, has not an effort been made to induce you to tell q different story?"
 "A different story from what told, sir?"
 That is what I mean"
 "Yes, sir; several persons have tried to get me to tell a different story from what have told, but they couldn't"
 "Now, sir, upon your oath, wisf to know who those persons are"
 Well, guess you've tried 'bou as hard as any of them"
