FFTY miles north of New York
City stands the great military
academy of the United States,
West Point. If It had been de-
manded by Its founders that an
exquisitely beautiful and peaceful loca-
tion should be secured lor this, noth-
ing more perfect could have been ob-
tained than the remarkable promon-
tory on which this training school
\ lor warriors has been placed. The

to deaL
The process of preparation of food
for a large number of people Is al-
ways Interesting, but especially so
when it is prepared under military
J discipline and almost entirely by elec-
| trlclty, as la the case at the military
I academy.
The kitchen at West Point Is al-
ways scrupulously clean, and ia In-
spected with even more care than the
other department! of the academy,
! for the officers in charge know full
well that the proper kind of food
cooked carefully plays no small part
I In the meutal and physical training of
young men. "A place for everything
and everything In its place," la the
| motto of West Point's chef, and those
I who work under his direction must
I follow the same rule or be discharged.
I Military discipline is everywhere In
| evidence, and there Is none of that
bustle and searching for things at the
last minute when meals are to be
served so often found at our Institu-
tions. Every man has hla duties and
be must perform them at a certain
time without Interfering with the work
of anyone else. Almost everything is
prepared by electricity, but man must
be present to touch the lever at the
proper moment Meals are served
promptly and do not vary five minutes
during the entire year. The carets
study by schedule, and the chef playa
his part when he has the meals on the
minute.
The preparation of the food for the
mesB is one of West Point's moet in-
teresting features and has been com-
mented on most favorably by army
officers from all parts of the world.
Lord Kitchener during his recent visit
spoke in the most complimentary
terms of the men in charge of the
mess after he had made a thorough
inspection of the mysteries of the elec-
tric kitchen. Several Japanese offi-
cials have been likewise Interested,
as was Prince Tsai Toa, the uncle of
the Chinese emperor, who recently
came to this country to study army
methods.
All the bread used at West Point
Is baked by electricity and mixed by
the same power. The whole baking
from start to finish Is completed with-
out the hands of the baker touching it
at all except to push the pans into
the open. The great wooden bowl In
which the dough Is mixed has several
funnels leading to It—one comes from
the flour department, another from the
yeast, and Btill another containa
water. By touching a lever the fun-
nel Is made to open and as much of
each af the ingredients as Is required
goes Into the mixer. Another lever
6ets the machine In motion and the
dough is mixed. The loaves are then
cut by the same power and fall from
the cutting machine into the baking
pan In regular order. The cutter may
be set for any size and is frequently
used for rolls, a thousand of which
are baked each day, together with
more than one hundred loaves of
bread.
mlnutea the whole bushel of potatoes,
perfectly pared without the leaat
waste, falls Into a tub. The Chlneae
prince waa bo delighted with thla use-
. ful apparatua that several buahela of
W v>? ^potatoes were peeled for hla amuso>
^nent. There la also an electric appar
ratua for cutting potatoea Into various
shapes. Nearly two hundred gallon*
of milk la sterilized every morning by
the electric sterilizer, for the surgeona
at West Point are determined to be
sure that the milk used by the cadets
shall be free from bacteria.
The absence of unclean dlshea about
the kitchen la refreshing. for it ia an
Ironclad rule that each pan or dlah
must be washed Immediately after
use. The dishes are placed in a large
wire basket, the Inevitable button hi
pressed, which causes the bucket to
sink Into scalding water, where It re-
volves for a few minutes, and the
dishes are thoroughly waehed. An-
other lever lifts them to traya, where
they are turned out to dry. Th* dishes
used at dinner by between 400 and 6W)
cadets can be washed and put away oy
two persons in this manner in half
an hour. Uncle Sam la an economical
housekeeper and lnalata that there
shall be no waste. Indeed, the average
housekeeper would be surprised to
learn how economical the chef at
West Point la in bis work, aa it Bhows
by the accounts which are turned i%
to the quartermaater each day.
All the silver used in the mess hall
is polished by electricity, and It ia re-
markable how easily the most elabo-
rately chased pieces are cleaned and
how the brush reaches the tiny cornera
and cleans in a few mlnutea a piece of
silver which would require hours of
handwork. The kitchen range la a
model of cleanliness; in fact, the
whole atmosphere of the kitchen sug-
gests cleanliness and well-cooKed, dain-
tily served food. The chef knows
the appetites of the cadets, and does
his best to please them In Lis menu.
The bill of fare varies each day, and
there Is little complaint about the
food. Those In authority realize that
boys who are growing and who have
as much exercise as a cadet require
plenty of food and of the most nour-
ishing quality Special dishes are
prepared for the athletes who are In
training, and certain articles of food
are tabooed, especially pastry.

Memories of English Writers.
At Rose Cottage, formerly occupy-

cakes are made—these, too, by elec-

are beaten by electricity and one hun-
dred eggs are soon brought to the
regulation lightness without the least
labor to the cook, who merely presses
a button starting the eggbeater, and
then goes off to attend to something
else. The housewife who labors an
hour to bring eggs to the proper light-
ness for sponge rake can more readily
appreciate the labor-saving qualities of
the electric eggbeater than anyone
else. It Is no uncommon thing for
a hundred eggs to be beaten In this
manner, for eg? custard is one of the
favorite deserts of the cadets. The
electric potato peeler is the greatest

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
"When my first baby was al*
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then It would
break out again and It spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his bead was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and it kept spreading until it waa on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but be got worse all the time. Ha
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cutlcura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cutlcura Resolvent •
caka of Cutlcura Soap and a box of
Cutlcura Ointment in three days
after using them he began to Improve.
Ha began to take long naps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of 8oap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. Hia
hair came out in little curls aH over
his head. I don't think anything elsa
would have cured him except Cutlcura.
"I have bought Cutlcura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and soree and bave never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. I think Cutlcura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it Cutlcura Soap is tha best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes."
