road aboru. "A hard biscuit and n

mentions In "Two Yearn Uefore the
Mast" u. his u-ual inenl alter a
long, haltl watch oil' Cane Horn, Is
no longer the diet of the Atm'iiciin
merchant sailor
The modern sailor man Is well
fed, with plenty or frcdi meat, vege
tables and 5t bread, no matter what the voyage
ho may Ij1 on. Modem refrigerating plani.s and
modern rOoMng methods are to be thanked for
that.
On thr hundreds of new rhlp which are helm;
built for 'he merchant marine by the United States
shipping board careful attention Is paid to the
cqulpnivit for Coring, cooking and serving fond.
The gn'-crument Is fully aware that Millor.s, like
soldiers work best on welMllled stomachs.
Care Is taken also that el'ictent men are em
ployed as cooks on the nation's new merchant
Hoots. Good M'a cooks are not numerous, even In
nnrrnuV tlme. Maing that fact In mind, iho
United States shipping board, with the thnt numb
ness tint innis all Its efforts tn cieate an nn
equaleil mt-rch-tnt marine, is engaged In training
an adequate number of cmdM to man the gallcyj of
Its aw -!n, -. doling men of chai.icter utid Inielll
gence Ue choseu for Instruction.
'l'U training of conks Is part of the work d no
by the shipping board's root tilting service. This
servIcA has a tleet of training ships, billed at At
lantic and I'ii cl lie ports, on all of which youni;
Ajucrlrnns are taught by experienced cooks the
Bcrlouft business of preparing Rood food ut sea.
Hesld:s that, the board has special cooking schools
on twu of the ships the Meade, u '"C'v V'uutlr
liner Hntloncd at Boston, and the steamer Dorothy
Bradford, stationed ut New York.
iCovking at sea is by no means the same thine as
cooking on land. The sea cook has beveral things
to bo-tr In mind that the land cook, In hotel, restau
rant or home kitchen never has to think about.
Tiiko for instance, some of the precautions ho
must observe as Illustrated by the following
"Doh'ts for Sou Cooks :"
Don t expect the stovo to remain In a perpendicular
position, nor tlio cook. You tiro on u moving
platform, namely, tho ship's deck, which ofton
rolls und sways with tho motion of tht ship in
the sea.
Ken't (111 a kettle full of liquid. The rolling of the
ship will cauno the contvnts to slop over and
with fats may start a tire.
Don't nllow otB and pans to get adrift. Aa a guard
aftnlnst this, the galley range has an iron rull
around It.
Don't permit dtnhes to bo left on dressor or pantry
shelf as on land. If yo; -V pv' "I'U 'lb ott
and bo sinnnhed. Thcro oro lit t lo plveon-holos
for each kind. Into which tho dishes fit, the'ro
bolim a hlish bar across the front, n Itli a spuuu
cut out through which a dish may bo reuched
and lifted out.
On modern ships tho serving Is dono by men In
tho Btoward'a department, called stewards, so tho
eea cok of today needs nono of thnt dexterity of
foot thnt one-legged John Sliver showed ns ho
pegged his way oft with dinner along tho slippery
deck In the brig, of "Treasure Island."
It Ib n truism aboard ship that ouly a cook who
likes his Job la worth his salt. A discontented cook
will spoil good food. This psychology is recog
nized by the shipping board in choosing young men
for training us cooks. Only thoso who volunteer
for the Job uro wanted. There are plenty who do.
Out of 3,000 apprentices always on tho training
shfpa a certain p'ercentugo muy bo counted on to
nsk for training as cooks.
Thoso young muu uro ntrving on the nation's
"bridge of ships" from patriotic, motives. Homo
may go back to their homo townH when tho war
la over; but others will remain in the merchant
marine, and will take a part In tho country's penco
expansion ut sett as dlgnlliul as that taken by
captutn, mate or engineer on tho ship on which
they serve. Nor will they suffer In u financial
wuy, for a chief cook gets 00 a month wugea, be-
AfW&rrc&jtTwwRaflrA rsAjm;&ip or rWrsi?orArjofjptG board
sides his board and ipiartors a not Income of
51.0S0 a year.
When the young law student, or bank teller, or
blacksmith's helper who has decided to bocnino n
sea cook reports for Instruction on the Meade or
the llradford he Is taken in hand by u wise old
chef who proceeds to teach him tho A, II. C's of
sea cooking.
Tuomi embrace some general rules as to clean
liness uml general galley practice, neatly type
wiltten, under the head "Advice to tho Cook."
The most pnttlcular housewife IM Had tlieso
rules sound. Hero are a few of them:
Great clfnllncM, ns well ni core and attention,

Keep sink and sink-brush very clean; be careful
novor to throw anything but wnter down sink. Do
not throw cabbasn water down it; throw it away,
a:i Its Mell Is very bnd.
Never havo sticky plates or dishes. Use very hot
water for washing them; when Kreasy chango it.
Clean coppers with turpoui. and lino brlukdust,
rubbed on with flannol; polish thorn with chamois
and a little dry brlckdust.
Clean our tins with soap and whltlntr mixed,
mado Into n thick croam with hot water. Hub it on
with flannel, when dry, whisk It off with clean
chamois and dry whiting.
Take caro that you louk at tho meat the butchor
brings, to soo If it Is good.
Let there bo no Wasto tn tho kitchen.
In Uncle Sam's school for sea cooks Instruction
begins, logically, with cereals for breakfast. It
happens that tho Instruction chef on the llradford
is a Scot, and when Jamfo Nicol gets through
teaching it new hnnd tho art of cooking ontiueul
hero Is nothing further to be said.
Tho novice is next bhowu how to fry eggs und
bacon, how to make hash and how to prepure
hamburg steak. These arc his tfrst steps.
Ho next gets a chance at dinner, with making
soups and rousting und boiling meats and cooking
various kinds of vegetables. In this work ho
learns the mysteries of tho big gulley range a
mighty stove, near seven feet long of the steum
kcttlo that will cook soup for 1W mou and of tho
steam-oven cooker for vegetnhlew.
If ho is umbltlous, the beginner takes u special
course In baking und pudding making, for real
puddings take the place of tho trudltlonul soggy
Iluff of old times on Uncle Sam s merchant ships.
Ulce pudding Is u favorite. Lucky Is tho young
man who learns to cook rlco from a veteran who
acquired the art on it trader out of Itaugoou or u
dipper from Calcutta.
"Never put your rlco Into tho kettlo until tho
wnter is boiling, then scatter it in." That Is tho
standard rule for rlco.
"Then wo toll 'cm to be sure never to put In tho
sugar until tho rico is done," says tho chof.
It has boon found that six weeks of intensive
training will niuko u very good sen cook of u be
ginner if ho 6hows proper aptitude.
"Wo can tell the untural cook," says Jumlu
Nicol, "by tho questions ho asks. Tho good be
Clunera ask all about everything and nmku notes.
Wo hnvo a' number who put everything they want
to remember down In a book. They will muk
good."
It is the ambition of most sea cooks to get on n
big ship. In wartime, cooking on the smallest
vessel is an essential calling, but tho big vessel
Willi Its modem iqulpinent and elllclency organi
zation appeals strongly to the type of young man
now talcing tip sea cooking for Uncle Sam.
The largo vessels carry several conks. A 0,000
ton freighter has a chief cook, a second cook, who
is also baker, and a third cook, or cook's mate.
The chief cook Is usually the meat cutter also,
and In these times scientific meat cutting, ns well
as cooking. Is required on the merchant tleet and
tnught In the shipping board's floating cooking
schools.
WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS.
According to a report of the national Industrial
conference hoard, women In waiilino employment
nre showing a leiuarkable adaptability for ma
chine shop work. Tho report Minminrlzes Infi.A
inutlon obtained ft 'n 1,'H establishments employ

10,0.r7 women eti.Mgcd In wmk formerly per

Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has
ranged from the operation of drill presses ami
lathes to coremaMag, inspecting and assembling
mechanical products and pet forming many pre
cise machine operations. In the main it has been
conllned to the lighter processes requiring rnpld
Hy and dexterity, and In Midi work their output
has proved equal to and frequently greater than
thnt of mnlo employees. Il'hls was notably truo

In n munition plant manufacturing fuses, where
women operatives on drill presses and milling

SINGLE SHOES NOW SOLD IN LONDON.
One of tho numy pathetic sldo lights on our
wnr Is reflected In advertisements published hy
Hrltlsh shoo merchants, which vividly Impress
upon one's mind the sacrifices that many of our
sons and their comrades nro gnlhintly making.
Owing to the large number of crippled veterans
of tho western fnmt, London dealers In men's
footwear now sell single shoes for one-half tho
prices of pairs. To quote an advertisement that
recently appeared In a fashionable illustrated
magazine: "Wnrtltne boots at 203 a pair or
132 a boot. The lnglo hoots, rights or lefts, uro

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has all the appenrances
of grip, or la grippe, which has swept
ocr the world In numerous epidemics
as far hack as history runs. Hippoc
rates refers to an epidemic in -112
II. C, which Is regarded by many tn
hnvo been Influenza. Hvery century
has had Its attacks. Heglnnlng with
1831 this country has had live epidem
ics, tho Inst In 188IMM).
There Is no occasion for panic Influ
enza Itself has a very low percentage
of fatalities not over one death nut
of every -100 cases, according to Iho
N. C. board of health. The chief danger
lies In complications nrMng, attack
ing principally patients In n run-down
condition those who don't go to bed
Foon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or Inlluiwn, as It Is now called,
usually begins with a chill, followed by
aching, feverlshness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and a general
feeling of weakness and depression.
The temperature Is from 100 to 101,
nnd the fever usually lasts from three
to live days. The germs attack tho
mucous membrane or lining of the air
pnssnges, nose, throat ami bronchial
tubes; there Is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes n
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
nil tho appearances of a novere head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed nt the llrst symptoms, not
only for your own sake, hut to avoid
spreading tho disease to others take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet nnd don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, etc., inny he administered by
the physician's directions to relievo the
aching. But there is no euro or spe
cific for Influenza the dlsenso must
run Its course. Nature herself will
throw off tho attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies In tho complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
rcslstnnco thnt thero Is dnnger of pneu
monia or bronchitis developing, nnd
sometimes Inflammation of tho middle
enr, or henrt nffectlons. For these rea
sons It Is very Important that tho
patient remain In bed until his strength
rclurns stay In bed nt least two dnyB
or moro after tho fever hns left you, or
If you nre over R0 or not strong stny
In bed four days or more, according to
tho severity of tho attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to Htlmtiluta tho lining wf
the nlr passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid In loosening tho phlegm
niul keeping the nlr passages open, thus
making tho breathing easier, Vlck'i
ynpoltub will be found effective Hot
wot towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open tli4. pores.

thicknesses of hot flannel cloth. I.eavo

gredients In the form or vapors.
These vapors, Inhaled with encn breath,
carry the medication directly to the
pnrtH affected. At tho pnmo time
VapoHuh Is absorbed thrtnigh and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood tn tho surface, and thus olds
In relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove thnt this In
a germ disease, sprend principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneering or spitting. So
avoid persons hnvlng colds which
mean1? avoiding crowds common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise In the open nlr, and good food.
Abovo nil, avoid colds, us colds Irri
tate the lining of tho air passages and
render them much better breeding
