Great advantages are claimed for base

FORMULA FOR LETTUCE SOUP.

ETTUCE. according to Twentieth Cen
Il tury Cookery, forms a much better
soup Ingredient than the average
American housewife imagines. 1t also
makes an excellent vegetable, especially
the large headed and coarse leaved va
rieties, which are now both plentiful and
cheap.
Wash the leaves free from grit, break
them into pieces, put into a frying pan
a tablespoonful OF beef dripping When
hot, add tablespoonful of chopped onion;
let it color slightly; then put into the pan
as much OF the torn up lettuce as it will
hold; add no water; cover and stir the pan
to prevent burning: the heat will cause the
lettuce to exude moisture. Season with
salt and pepper, When the lettuce has
boiled, or rather steamed down, and looks
cooked, which win be in fifteen or twenty
minutes, turn 1t into two quarts OF soup
stock. Simmer fifteen minutes longer and
serve with croutons or toasted bread dice.
Or, instead OF the soup stock, add two
