in the FIVE and ten cent stores. The
flags had been left by children,
the guard explained, and the cen

sion.
After the firsts few seconds of
surprise the men visitors stood
silently by with barred heads, but
the women besieged the guard
with questions.

care Of the grave at all ?" asked
one woman, who had come all the
way from the Middle West to see
the grave, and was rather. disap-
pointed. She looked about at the
few other graves, clustered on the
hillside, and evidently they did not
meet with her approval either.
All of them were marked by small
inconspicuOus headstones, while
the abundant grass that covered
them had not been cut once dur.
ing the season.
"The grave is taken care of, ," re-
piled the guard. Someone is al
ways on guard, day and night, to
protect it."
But / mean isn't there TO be
a vault or anything?" insisted the
woman.
No. declared the guard, "just
an iron fence for protection and a
plain headstone. Colonel Roose-
velt's wishes were that everything
should be as simple as possible. He
dislike Ostentation."
"Yes, but what will our foreign
visitors think of it?" a short stout
woman who told everybody she
was from Detroit, wanted to
know. Look at the way they

coming up and going down the
hill-people from all walks Of life
and from all parts Of the country.
Most Of them register IN q book
provided for that purpose on a
shelf attached TO the guards house,
and this book contains the names
Of some Of our most prominent
citizens as well as those Of Europe.
There are also many addresses on
the Bowery and the East Side.

registration Of four or i've hundred
names.
'The rest Of the graves up here,
the guard continued, conversation
ally, belong to old Oyster Bay
families. Some Of them are
nearly a hundred years old. Those
two over there"-he pointed to
two small headstones to the left
Of the Colonel's grave-"are the
graves Of slaves belonging to one
family.
"Oyster Bay is very DID," he
went on. ave have a house here
that was the headquarters Of
George Washington when he was
stationed in this region. But it
was the Colonel and not the Gen
eral who put Oyster Bay on the
map"
The guards loquaciousness was
here interrupted by the arrival Of
another group of visitors who
wanted to know 'if this was the
COlonel's grave" Two Of the
women were from California, a
third was from Montana, and a
couple Of men were from Chile.
Walks From Philadelphia.
The other day, according to the
guard, a little boy from Washing
ton, accompanied by his mother,
visited the grave. He placed a
bunch Of flowers at the foot Of
it, and stood sOberly looking at
them for some time.
Colonel Roosevelt gave me a
rose once" he proudly told the
guard later. at was when he was
serving his second term in the
White House. I met him in the
park one morning and he had a
red rose in his hand, and he smiled
and gave it to me"
On the same day arrived an
OctogenaTian from Philadelphia,
who had walked from his home to
Oyster Bay to pay tribute to the
former President. This man has
been in the habit of spending his
vacations in hikes across long
stretches Of country, so this year
he decided to make his destination
the COlOnePs grave.
He was a naturalist, and
great admirer of RoOsevelt's books
on animals. "I am glad he is
buried here" he said. "It is a
charming niece Of wilderness"

Il invite your eognizanee Of the

states that he stands for the man

Judging from newspaper reports
the sale Of army stores at Liberty
Hut is a bowling success, but from
information from men who have been
there and have not found things as
advertised there is much TO be de-
sired. For instance, I have found
no one who has been able TO secure
.aIl-wool blankets. I stood in line
an hour Saturday evening, but could
not get wool blankets, because there
were none. Plenty Of the cheaper
ones, but they were all out Of wool
ones. There were socks and under
wear and towels, and some canned
meats and vegetables, but no canned
fruit In fact, after reading that
long list Of articles to be sold, the
slim variety was a disappointment
However. am still looking for some
one who really succeeded in getting

WHEN YCT COCK FORK

WHEN YOU COCK TCRK.
No housewife ought TO be unaware of
the fact that pork that is not thoroughly
cooked is uni for the table. In the rst
place il should be well cooked In order to
render il digestible and then 1t Is true that
there is possibility Of contracting disease
through eating infected pork that has not
been thorougl.ly cooked, while thus same
pork if cooked thoroughly would be tn-
iirelv harmless 1t is estImat d by the
Department of Agriculture at about one
out of every seyeuty-One hogs Is infected
with a parasite known as trlchlnae, and
if we take those tiny little parasites INTO
our own systems we become infected with
trichinosis- least If we take sufficiently
large number OF them.
But of course we shouldn't take any of
them and this we can avoid by insisting
alwavs that our pork is thoroughly cooked.
Roast pork is delicious especially at this
time Of year when fat food appeals to US.
It should be cooked very thoroughly and
this YOU may do by letting the roast cook
in a pretty brisk oven for about half an
hour and then letting it cook the remand
er Of the time IN a moderate oven
When you have pork chops 1t Is not 50
usual to have them 50 well cooked. NJ ny
housewives allow no more time In cooking
pork chops than they would for lanh
chops or beef steak As a matter OF fact
pork chops should be well steamed before
they are fried or bToiled. To do this put
them In frying pan with little water III
the bottom and let them cook over low
fire for half hour or more If you have
d hot oven you may put them IN covered
baking dish with little water in the
bottom. Having cooked them thoroughly
iD this way you may now fry them in the

OF course smoked ham is supposedly
| free from trouble but it is just as well 70

| ham see that it IS very thoroughly boiled.
! Don { eat deIicatessen cooked ham unies 5
! YOU know that il is thoroughly cooked, OF
/ unless YOU re-cook it In some way after

| be cooked thoroughly. 1t always pays to
| watch the pan in which bacon is cooking
| for if you do not it may burn and 1T really
| is matter of only a very few minutes,
| anyway
| Sausages are perhaps the most usual
| source Of eating uncooked pork. For the
| high spicing makes the sausage meat pal
| atable SO that il tastes good even though
it may not be very well cooked A sure
way to cook sausages enough is 10 bake
them is q covered dish in the oven. Did
you ever try coring an apple and putting
