<jy of dispensary?does not favor the mauulacture of 1 quor by the state nor tbe latter going into the lite and fire insurance business. He realizes tiie evils of liquor and would work to bring about that condition which will promote temperance and prohibition, lie believes in minimizing the evils that exist in the liquor business He voted in the legislature in 1893 against the dispensary bocause he had been instructed by his county to vote tor prohibition, and tor prohibition be then voted. Tbe dispensary bill was passed and adopted. He commented on the good features of tbe law. It had closed open bars; stopped drinking on [premises; it bad removed the temptation to treating. He advocates running dispensary so as to curtail and restrict, use a(i: 1 wi mjuur auu amending law as to purchase of liquors, which can be accomplished under Uaysor-Munning bill. The conviction in the minds of the people that there is opportunity lor wrong-doing is the cause of opposition to the dispensary. If state dispensary were ^ run as he claims it should bo, it would be better than county dispensaries. The office of uoyernor is not legislative, and if elected he will do his duty in the enforce ment of law and will endeavor to give the state a business-like ad ministration. HON. JOHN J. MCMAHAN. of Richland, next introduced. He referred to his labors as Suner ? r intendent of Education, when lie had the honor to fill th*t office The education of the peo pie is a prime necessity. He favors better salary for teachers, longer terms aud expert supervi sion of country schools. Three -mill tax should be supplemented out of state treasury whenever the tax is insufficient. For 8 years he has stood for separation of schools from politics. He urged compulsory education. The parent is cruel who will not send child to school. The stale has no right to taae monev of corporations and individuals for school purpose* and then not Require parents to send their children to school. He wants to see an agricultural school in every county. He stands for temperance in its true sonse. Evils follow excessive use of tobacco, they follow many ex cesses-excessive u*e of liquor not the only cause of suffering and trouble. Too much one sidednes* in prohibition. Men are of different tastes and habits. Prohibition not practicable as a f state matter. Ilo is willing for any county to experiment with prohibition. It it fail*, then county ought to be allowed to vote back liquor, a* the effect of the disregard of a law is always demoralizing.

A method of cooking food, which necessitates the use of practically no fire, is being employed by the 17th regiment on the march it is making to Chicka- j manga Park. | By this means the soldiers can 1 have hot food every meal, and not be compelled to kindle a fire at any time during the day with the exception of at breakfast. The method is a simple one when explained, and hns been employed by the peasants of Eu rope since time immemorial, but it was only a short while ago that it was introduced into the United States army and is now ouly in the experimental stage. In the morning when breakfast is propared, whatever is to be had for dinner and supper ir placed in an earthenware vessel, and allowed to cook for a few minutes. The food and vessel are then transferred to an air tight receptacle which is placed in one of the commissary wagons. A receptacle containing the food and earthenware vessel being air tight, allows no beat to escape and as the day advances and the soldiers trudge over miles of ground the food cooks slowly, although there nr. n-o- It t>- - - u mw uic uvm IV* JJ> y tIJO LI 111 6 night Iirh arrived the food is thoroughly done, and when the Boldiere sit down to their meal they are able to enjoy a hot supper without having to go to the trouble of preparing it. When the food is intended for dinner it is simply heated longer. The vessel it is contained in absorbs more heat, and throughout the day the process of tireless cooking will go on with heightened rapidity, so that by dinner the food is ready to be eaten. This innovation was first employed at a number of military posts in the West, and succeeded I no Huuurnuiy uiai tne war department determined to have all of the regiments while proceeding this summer to the various I manoeuvre camps cook their food in this way 111 order that the , method might be given a thorough and exhaustive test. There is no doubt about its being practical, for the poorer people of Europe, in order to ! save fuel, have prepared their I food in this way for countless years. A number of the European armies have also adopted this method of cooking. The processs, as can be easily seen. would nrnv?? invalnoltlu during time of war.
