GIVES THEM THE WILD FLAVOR
Housekeeper Has Thought Out Pars
ticularly Clever Way of Cooking
the Domestic Duck.
“lI ean cook the domestic duck so
that you would think it was mallard!”
declared a clever little housekeeper
‘the other day.
“At any rate, you would think it
was mallard if you knew the delicious
and peculiar flavor of that particular
bird well enough to recognize it.
“People say that this characteristic
flavor Is due to the fact that mallard
feeds on wild celery. Well, naturally,
when I buy ducks in the market it is
too late to put them on a diet in the
ordinary sense,
“But if I can’t feed them celery
while they're alive, I can do it after
they're dead. Oh, yes, I can! And
this Is the way I manage it. Instead
of stuffing them in the ordinary way, I
take stalks of celery which I cut the
length of the bird's inside measure
ment.
“I put these stalks in ‘w tha
dressing ought to grow. and then
place the duck in the sting pan. In
stead of putting water the pan, |
pour a pint bottle of moderata
priced Sauterne. Maybe I put a little
water in the Sauterne, but not much
Then I baste the duck with this while
it is roasting. And if I can’t deceive
you with the result—well, your palate
must have a pretty intimate acquaint
ance with the flavor of mallard.”

A Frontier of Peace.
With its row of crumbling forts and
musty guns the frontier between Can
ada and the United States stands as
an object lesson to all nations. While
it is the longest, it is the safest and
securest frontier in the world. Three
thousand miles and more of it lie be
tween Passamaquoddy bay and Puget
sound, and in all that distance not a
shotted gun points menacingly from
either country toward the other. A
few small and comparatively ineffec-
‘tive fishery cruisers guard the water
front, none of which would be of much

BOARDS ARE MORE EFFICIENT
This Is Explanation Given by British
Officer of Acceptance for Service
of Men Once Rejected.
In a recent Investigation by a com-
mittee from the house of commons,
iGen. Sir Alfred Keogh, director general
lof the British army medical service, de-
clared that while the department had
been laboring under difficulties im-
posed by the lack of experienced army
examiners, he was aware of no frregu-
larities in the examination of men un-
der the military service (review of
exceptions) act,
“When the war broke out men were
taken for medical examination to lo+
cal practitioners, who could not pos-
sibly know the requirements of the
service,” he sald, “and the consequence
was that a large number of men wag
recruited whom the authorities would
not have thought of considering in
peace times,”
With such a corps of examiners,
Sir Alfred declared, it was Impossible
to attain a common standard, and this
explained the fact that frequently men
by another. “Many men were pass
ed who ought not to have been pass-
ed,” he admitted, “but, on the other
hand, a great number of men were
rejected who ought to have been pass-
ed under the category system, ‘It was
very difficult to get the medical practi-
tioners to understand that a man who
could do anything In civil life could
do that thing in the army.”
The fact that the proportion of men
passed by Inter boards, after having
been rejected by examiners at the be-
ginning of the war, steadily has in-
creased during the war, Sir Alfred at-
tributed to the Increased efficiency of
the boards, but vehemently denfed that
there had been any lowering of the
standard for acceptance,

“For every soldier that we land In
France,” says the Scientific American,
“25 tons of shipping must plow back

supply his needs alone. For 25.000
men this means 100 ships—a number
that we would be hard pressed to find,
‘And thls means curtailment of the

“Now, could the average speed of
ithis fleet be raised to 11 knots and
could the time in port be reduced 10
per cent, we could release for other
service some 60,000 tons of shipping.
In other words, we could create im-
[mediately that amount of extra ton-
nage and add it to our merchant ma-
irine, not in 1918 but today. And to-
iday may be the day, the real ‘Day,’ the
day the balance will spring.”
Argentine’'s Wheat Crop.
Reports from the Argentine state
that weather conditions are ideal for
the growth of wheat. The official pre-

1015-16 was 178,000,000 bushels, and
the average for the five preceding
years was 140,000,000 bushels, Domes
tic requirements are about 70,000,000
bushels, The large crop now growing
will be available some time after Jann«

The Argentine oats crops is estimats
