Washington, February 2. Commissary
General Sharp has ordered three "Art'
less cookers" sufficiently Jarg to cook
food for 100 men to be sent to the Pre-
sidio at San Francisco, the Philippines and
Washington, respectively. The Artless
stove or "hay box" ae it is sometimes
called, is merely a large, air tight chest
filled with straw, felt, paper or some
other non-conducting material. Nests
are made in the filling large enough to
hold cooking pot. The cooking is started
on the stove in the ordinary manner, and
then, without taking off the cover of th
kettles, they are placed in the nests with
in the chest and th lid shut down. The
theory is that they will continue to cook
tor nuui. "it mm ue
stove. In recent test of the cooker at
Port Riley, they were found to be very
satisfactory. When taken out of th box
four or five hour after they had been
placed therein, cabbage, bean, custard,
corned-beef and other foods were found
to be cooking merrily away at tempera
tures varying from 176 to 196 degrees,
Jl THE TERROR
y OF WINTER
Rheumatism is usually worse in Winter because of the cold and damp-
Bess and other changed conditions of the climate. , The occasional twinge
of the disease that are felt during; the warmer weather are cnangea lo pierc-j ,
ing pains, the muscles become inflamed and swollen, the nerves get sore andi
excited, the bones ache, and Rheumatism, the terror of winter, takes posses-j
sion of the system. Then the sufferer turns to the liniment bottle, the
woolen clothes, the favorite plaster or some home remedy, in an effort to get
relief. But Rheumatism is not a trouble that caa be rubbed away or drawn ,
out with a plaster; these things relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation,' '
but do not reach the real cause of the trouble, and at the next exposure an
other attack comes on. Rheumatism is caused by sour, acid condition of
the blood. The refuse matter and bodily impurities which should be carried
off through the channels of nature have been left in the system because of
indigestion, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver and a general sluggish condition of
the system. These impurities sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed by
the blood and distributed to the different muscles, joints, nerves and bones,'
causing the painful symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S. S. goes to the root of '
tne trouble and cures Rheumatism by cleansing
the blood. : It .neutralizes the acids and filters
them out of the circulation and sends a stream of
pare, rich blood to all parts of the body. Then,
the pains cease, the inflammation subsides, the
nerves are quieted, every svmptom of the d isease
passes sway, and the cure is permanent, S. S. S. i
is purely vegetable and does not injure the system as do those medicines con
taining Potash and other minerals. Book on Rheumatism and medical advict

Washington, February 2. Secretary
Metcalf of the department of commerce
and labor has been leaching the Yankees
how they shoot out on the Pacific. Al
though a New Yorker by birth, the "baby
of the Cabinet" clings to things western
as barnicles to a ship. One of those
things he loves to do is to shoot and every
Saturday finds him on the range.
Two pupils have advanced to the sen
ior class and believe they are ready for
diplomas. They are Assistant Secretary
Murray of the department of commerce
and labor and Solicitor Sims, assigned to
the same department from the depart
ment of justice. But the teacher main
tains his dignity as an instructor by keep
ing safely ahead of his pupils when they
11 line up before the birds.
All are members of the Analostan Gun
Club, which has a range on an island in
the Potomac quite near the city. Satur
day noon there is always great activity
at the department; preparations are un
der way for the shoot. The trio are off
as soon as the secretary can close up his
business and the remaining hours are
spent with the guns. So far the secre
tary has a record of 78 out of a possible
100, while Assistant Secretary Murray
follows with i 4, and Solicitor Sims, with
th best gun in the outfit, must be con
tent with a bare 70. It' a proud day for
th secretary wiien he returns with a
record of ten out of a possible ten.
The popular secretary got his training
in shooting ducks at his home in Californ
ia. The story has drifted east that one
day he was so successful that in return
ing horn across the bay, his boat actual
ly began to sink under th enormous
weight of the ducks. Some of th jeal
ous huntsmen in Washington asked the
secretary about it, and after blushing, he
said if he remembered correctly his ves
sel was struck by another boat.
Charles Broock, landlord of th Quimby
Hotel. North Fourth Street, who recently
returned from a trip to Germany, his na-
tive land, feels elated at having evened
scores with a burly second mate who
brutally beat him when he was a boy.
"My principal business home was to
lick that fellow, and I did not begruge the
time it took me to travel the 12.000 miles
to do it," he said today.
'Twenty-four years ago I was a deck
boy on a sailing vessel plying between
German ports, and this fellow knocked
me down and kicked me with his heavy
boots for some trifling boyish offense. 1
told him at the time that I would be big
enough some day to pay him back, and 1
remembered him all these years. I learn
ed that he was boss of a stevedore gang
in a village six miles from my native
