Usually when an operator has gone through a strike he swears off and is found in no other uprising If he succeeds aferward in securing position he holds it and lets somebody else do the striking. So, each strike requires new and inexperienced blood.

Almost everybody has heard of the "corn- dodger but very few people the present generation know Just what it is Modern stoves have been the death of the corn dodger which is cake made of Indian meal and baked under embers. There are other connections of which are called corn dodgers but they are properly something else But we have just heard through exchange of still an other kind of ndodger. It is one who in violation of the wishes and regulations the food adminstra ton, insists on eating nothing but wheat flour pro- ducts.
 some complain that they cannot get along on corn meal or other substitutes that these compounds do not agree with their stomachs. The trouble is in cases where this is honest complaint that the sub stitutes are not properly prepared. good deal of the bread we have is offensive to the as well as to the stomach but must learn to make it right and then if do not like it. to learn to like it. Speaking more particularly of corn which in our opinion is the best of all the substitutes no one likes corn bread of the sticky. soggy variety and that is the kind made for the first time by the beginner If cornbread is made with milk and eggs and baked in long strips about the size of banana so that it is
