TREiTAMALE.
Where Il Is Made and How it Originated
Recipe for Making.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
What the unrivaled doughnut, such as
our grandmothers used to make, is to good
old New England, the tamale pronounced
tay-mah-lee) is to the great southwest.
The doughnut is a Sociologic and historical
factor in New England, and the tamale IS
no less a familiar factor in Southern Cali
fornia And the loaf of brown bread and
savory dish of baked beans are no more
characteristic of the down east" Yankee
than is the corn dodger of the Georgians
and the tamale of the Spanish american.
Races of people betray their individuality
as surely in what they eat as in what they
do and say and wear; and the history OF
the southwest which does not mention the
tamale is no history at all-it is only the
dry bones of history.
1t is no easy task for an American VINO
does not speak the Spanish language to
learn the rather lengthy process of making
real, ld-time Mexican tamales, but ] OBJ
tanned the following receipt from reliable
source:
"Take two quarts of yellow, dried corn
and boil in water with one-half teacup
of lime. Let boil in water with shrd cmfw
of lime Let boil till we'll cooked then
wash thoroughly and grind on the me-
tata three times till it becomes very fine.
Take two full grown chickens and boil in
water enough to cover them; season with
a little salt; let boil till quite tender re-
move and let cool. then cut in small pieces.
Mix with the corn dough (Which has been
rolled on the metata) enough of the water
in which the chickens were boiled to make
it soft and add about two cups of lard.
Season with a little salt and knead thor
oughly.
after this take three dozen chIlis (red
peppers), remove seeds, roast in a moder-
ate oven a few seconds, take out and place
in tepid water then grind on the metata
several times with a head of garlic, then
strain well. In a stewins pot place some
lard; when hot drop in one onion cut fine
and about a spoonful of -four Let cook
a little while, then drop in the chilis; let
come to a boil, add the cut chicken. cup
full of olives cupful OF raisins, a tea
spoon full of sugar, a little salt and pepper
and let come to a boil again; then take
away from the fire. Soak in cold water
dry corn husks. When well soaked
shake them. trim the ends and apply
thin layer of the corn dough to the half
of each husk. Put a spoonful of the stew
on a prepared husk and cover with a pre-.
pared husk. Tie the ends with strings
made from the same husks. Place in a
large pot of boiling water and boil one
hour"
Passing along some country road on
forenoon one may frequently come to the
humble home of a Mexican family. To
the unthinking observer It is unsghtly.

index to as kind a woman's heart as you
will find though you travel the world
around She has bright colored rabosa,

sings softly as she works. This is an
