The fat absorbs the strong havors

both friend vegetable and the fat can be
used In the same soup, stew or sauce with
the most satisfactory results.
For example, one can use a certain
quantity OF fried onion or carrot in a
soup or sauce and get a more delicate fla-
vor than would be got with one-sixth of
the same vegetables raw. This cooking in
fat. 1t must be remembered, is always at a
low temperature.

NINTH LECTURE OF
PARL0A COURSE
Spoke About the Selection and Care o.
Vegetables and Groceries.
HOW TO COOK STARcHY FOOD.

Green Vegetables Have Not the Nu-
tritive Value Found in the Grains
and Most of the Tubers, but Are
Valuable Because of the Salts,
Phosphates and Acids They Contain
..Fresh Vegetables should BE
Perfectly Crisp Before Being Put
in Boiling Water.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-24
DRIED BEANS AND PEAS.

The dried beans and peas are much
richer in food values than the fresh vege-
tables. but require great care In cooking
that the tough skin may be made tender.
The French prepare these vegetables in
puree thai they may be more easy of di-
gestion by the removal of the tough en-
ve.ops.
Green vegetables have not the nutritive
value found in the grains and most Of the
tubers, but they are valuable because OF
the salts, phosphates and acids which they
contain, and which the human body de-
mands. They also fill an important part
in the human economy by supplying
food which dilutes, as it were, the more
highly concentrated foods, such as meats,
fish, eggs, etc. If it were not for the use
of vegetables we would eat too much of the
more stimulating foods. Finally, the va
rety which they supply 70 our tables Is
one of their chief blessings.
. The French cook uses a great deal or
butter in the cooking of Vegetables. Some
times sweet drippings are substituted, and
again a little fresh pork is employed. The
most delicious soups are made with a
combination of vegetables, herbs, water,
butter, or other fat, and salt and pepper.
There is hardly a vegetable which is not
used either cooked or raw in salad, the
usual dressing being one-third or fourth
vinegar, and two-thirds or three-fourths
oil, with of course salt and pepper. For
the bean salads, mustard is sometimes
used. When it is possible the French
housekeeper has her little dish of garni-
ture for her salad.
ABOUT FRESH VEGETABLES.
All fresh vegetables should be perfectly
crisp before being put in the boiling
water The water should be boiling when
fresh vegetables are put into 1t and kept
boiling gently all the time the vegetable
Is cooking. If the stew-pan is only par
TALLY covered the vegetables will be
greener and Of better flavor than If COW
cred closely. Too long cooking darkens
the vegetable and makes 1t rank favored.
Turntps, cabbage and caulihower are good
examples of this. II you cook The small
white turnip or cauliflower over thirty
minutes they Immediately begin to take
on color ard favor, and If the cooking is
extended to double the time as it often ts
by some careless people, the vegetable
becomes indigestible. If potatoes are
cooked for two or three minutes after
they are done, particularly If they are
surrounded by moisture, either Of their
own or from some other source, they be-
gin to grow soggy and strong favored. AS
great care is demanded that the vegetable
should not be overlooked, as that 1t is not
under-cooked.

Miss Parloa gave the ninth lecture
of the course on domestic economics In
Young Mems Christian association hall
Saturday afternoon and spoke about
"The Selection and Care of Vegetables
and Groceries," She told how to cook
the starchy food materials and vege-
tables and gave an explanation of the
best French methods of cooking. She
first spoke about the purchase of house
hold supplies and what every store
closet should be supplied with. In
speaking of cooking she said in part:
When starchy substance Is first put
into a boiling liquid it begins to thicken
Immediately, provided the substance IS
ground fine as in the case of corn-starch.
If the cooking is continued for twenty
minutes or half an hour with the cover
on the stew-pan to prevent evaporation,
the mixture grows thinner rather than
thicker.
The digestive juices have little action
on starch in the raw state; If taken into
the system in that form 1t causes derange-
ment of the alimentary canal and the
greater part passes out unchanged. SO IL
is very important that this substance be
properly cooked that it may be palatable
and digestible.
The leguminous seeds, such as beans,
pease and lentils are richer than any other
vegetable in nirtogenous principles, but
unless cooked with care are quite indi-
gestible. Beans when cooked with fat
are a good substitute for meat. No mat
ter what the mode of cooking, it must al
ways be rather long. This is true even
of the fresh or green beans; still when
fresh the time for cooking should not be
more than one-third or one-half of that
required for the dry bean. pease when
dried require long, slow cooking, but
when fresh-picked will cook quickly. Len
tils require about the same treatment as
dried beans.

CLINTON'S TOWN WHARF.
Suit for Possession Has Been With
 drawn

Suit for Possession Has Been With
 drawn.
 Mortimer Buell. of Clinton has with drawn the suit begun in 1895 through his attorneys, Harrison & Zacher of New Haven, against the town of Clin- ton for division or sale of the town wharf. located for years at the foot of Commerce street near the Bacon house. The plaintiff claimed to be part owner of the wharf, and asked for a division of it. or sale and division of the pro- ceeds
 The town of Clinton was set off from Killingworth in 1888, and town property was divided between the old and new towns, but the wharf was not divided. In 1882 the town of Killingworth, by an agent, made a deed of the alleged in terest of Killingworth in the wharf to Randolph Stevens, and he conveyed in the same year to Eben Buell. of Clin- ton.
 The town of Clinton, by Lewis E. Stanton of Hartford, it's attorney, set up the defence that MT Buell. gained no title to any part of the wharf and never had any possession of it. and that the right or title, if any exists, dates from 1888, and was never enforc- ed, but really abandoned, and therefore is barred by lapse of time. A highway Commerce streeD was laid from the main stage road to this wharf in 1914. The town entered it's motion for costs, but the costs upon withdrawal are small.

TO BUILD A NEW CHURCH.
Christ Church Parish in West Haven
 Plans for New Stone Structure Be

Christ Church Parish in West Haven
 Plans for a New Stone Structure Be-
 ing Prepared.
 So great has been the steady growth of the Christ church parish in West Haven during the past few years in point of membership that it has been decided to build new church, and Architect Brown has been given an or der to draw up plans for new church edifice. The structure will be of stone and will be so planned as to make en- largement easy if found necessary. It is expected that some work will be be- gun on the new church within year.
 The present church is a wooden one and will be soon entirely too small for the congregation. There are now 425 communicants in the parish an in crease of 100 in a year. This number, with the occasional attendants, taxes the old church very fully.
 \ The church has land sufficient for the plans to permit the moving of the present church to one side while the new one is being built. The new church will be designed to seat 800 or 600 peo- ple.

FORMERLr OF THIS CITY,
Death of James A. Bryan-Passed Away
 in Oklahoma,

James A. Bryan, a former employe of the Journal and Courier composing rooms and well remembered in New Haven by many friends, died on Jan uary 10 last at Fl Reno, Oklahoma, af- ter a long illness. The deceased was one of the Courier office seven" who enlisted in the war for the Union from this office. He enlisted in the Second Connecticut Heavy Artillery regiment and was badly wounded in 1864 at the terrific fight at Cold Harbor. After the war he resumed his old vocation and spent many years in Washington, D. c. He was bright, genial, companionable man, and many in this city will regret to hear of his death. His death was caused by kidney disease.
 The last work that he was able to do was as city editor of the Paducah (KyD Standard, which he had to give up two or three years ago.
