Beef Salad. LIN the long list of

bonilli, boiled beef, which you can
make out of your soup meat if it docs

add some chopped hard-boiled eggs, a
tablespoonful of minced parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, and a teaspoonful
of grated onion for each pint of meat
Pour over this sauce made by mash
ing perfectly smooth the yolks of three
hard-boiled eggs and adding to them
half teaspoonful of made mustard,
three tablespoonfuls of olive oil, salt
and pepper and tablespoonful Of vim
egar; work this all together with the
yolk of raw egg. This same sauce is
very delicate for cold fish and is also
the sauce for salad of hard, boiled
eggs, for which you simply slice half a
dozen eggs that have been boiled twen-
ty-tivc minutes. Free Press.

The fnsidious Ways OF the Dread Germs
of Disease.
The sad case of Doctor Stebbins,. oil
the Boston City hospital, who died re-
Gently from diphtheria, contracted
while pursuing his professional duties
as admitting physician to the hospital,
may have brought to the minds Of
many the often repeated inquiry as tt
the manner in which immunity from
contagion is secured by doctors, nurses
and others, whose business brings
them SO often in direct contact with
infectious diseases.
The answer must be somewhat gen
cral, as well as repetition of what
has many times been given, but it |,
not the less worth needing on that ac
count.
The two greatest safeguards against
infection are strong vitality and care.
fully selected hygienic surroundings
The perfected human organism, con
stantly and properly nourished, and
with plenty of fresh air, is almost in
vincible against the invasion of dis
ease. IL is simply question of the
survival of the superior. Disease,
which is the weaker, is put to rout by
good health, just as darkness vanishes
at the approach of light.
The strength of disease lies in taking
its victim off his guard In fact, its at.
taclSs are mostly made in ambush, as il
were, insidiously and against the weak.
est spot in the armor of its victim.
Let a person, in no matter how good
health, contract slight cold or get
over-fatigued, and Immediately his very
strength becomes source of weakness,
The stronger and more virulent types
of disease find a underground, and a
fight begins which lasts the longer and
is the harder, as the opposing forces
are the more equally matched in
strength.
1t is easy to see that even physi

For generations 1t has been the GUS
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain
ing portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
Iflept too warm, ornot used prompt
iy, this batter becomes excessively sour
and Objectionable. Buckwheat cakes
raised by this means are more often
sour or heavy than light and sweet II
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Powder,
mixing the batter fresh daily, and find
the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive Inconvenience. Be-
sides they are mixed and baked in q
moment. requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used;
Two cups of pure buckwheat flour
mot prepared" or niixed); one cup of
wheat -four, two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-helf teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted well together.
Mix with milk into a thin batter and
bake at once on hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no
other buckwheat will find its way to
yeur table. Domestic Cookery.
