Uncle Toms Cabin -

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Your correspondent criticizing
my comments on "Uncle Toms Cabin"
brings out the very point wished to
make. According to him, Mrs. Stowe
was called to use the power Of her
pen." She did so in an effort to recon-
cile tho South, but instead Of reconcil-
ing she threw the South into Q vio-
lent rage.
1t is only upon the ground that
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was excellent war
propaganda and tho sooner we got
to the business Of brother fighting
brother the better that this work can
be defended. If had lived In those
days after the war started I would have
fought for my country as have on
other occasions, but the mere conten-
tion on my part now that 1t would
have been better to have settled the
question without bloodshed and that
those who either willingly or unwill-
ingly helped to bring the war on should
be blamed does not make me Coop
perhead," as your correspondent in
sinuates in his letter.

Hail to Hot Biscuits !

Another tradition is shattered.
Hot bread, the bane but delight of
many stomachs, has been declared
by the Department of Agriculture
not guilty Of the charge of causing
indigestion.
Rolls or biscuits may be served
piping hot from the oven without
fear of bad effects, provided they are
we'll cooked. Be they made with
yeast or baking powder, or the now
almost unknown sour dough, they
will do no harm if the oven is suffi-
GENTLY hot.
The quality that causes indiges-
ton is not the heat but the soggi-
ness. In this respect, therefore, the
department justifies the normal fear
of "sinkers." The principal char
acteristic of that variety of biscuit
is its we'll known heaviness -s
heaviness which has sunk it to the
level Of the stereotyped joke. Whe
does not know the pallid biscuit witt
