So sure are the authorities of
this fact that Britain's new, way

exhibition in London next month.
Cooks from the three service
branches, army, navy, and air
force,' will be there, i t ',
The excellence of the army
cooks' culinary efforts is- due
largely, to a new book. Issued by

THE BALDPATE METHOD OF
PROTECTING THE CAT- .
I TLE OF KANSAS
The recent, thunderstorms in the
wheat-belt brought an Interesting
reminiscence from that encyclo
pedia! of Information, Dr. George
A. Bakdpate, to WIHa de Mott. '
- "You can't imagine - the inten
sity - f the. electrical .storms out
thataway," he aid, lapsing into
his najtive tongae. "The lightning
is a fearful menace. I shall never
forget the distress of my neigh
bor, j Luke Barber,; ofj Pretty
Prairie, Kansas. He came to me
one aight with tears 'in his eyes.
"What i shall I do, Docf he
wailed, U've ot my place kll
lightnin'-rodded and now darned
if it ain't nittln my cows direct.
I've last-10 head already, and I
cant put llghtnin' rods on the crit
ters, can IT'
" '"Vo.M said, 'but what you can
& U jnsujate them. Put rubbers
on thqir feet, anything to keep the
lightning from grounding. That's
what kills 'em. . i
He was back ! in" a week, all

'You know that storm we had last
Wednesday? The bolts was play
in' all over my stock-yard. I had

'em. Every cow had two blazin'
