that l have given only the plainest OF

My Dear Doctor:
OF four-footed game there Is great
variety. particularly in the leading mar
kets of the larger cities, and a dinner
of this kind once in a while Is always
pleasing variety. venison, moose meat
and also bear steaks and chops can be
obtained in the season and at reasons-
BILE prices. All steaks of this character
should be broiled to be at their best and
most people will insist that they be well
done" The custom of serving some
tart Jelly with game of this character
is good one to follow, and with many a
little lemon joice added to the meat is
a decided improvement. In selecting
meat of the above class be sure and get
your cuts from young animals, or you
will be far from satisfied. The hunter
who is looking for meat to supply his

he knows by experience that ii is only
the younger doe or buck that is nice and
tender.
What is true Of deer is also true o;
other game. Many an otherwise good
dinner is spoiled by lack o. care in Sc
lecting its essentials. BUT supp.sa you
have your game. How are you ging to
cook 1t? One Of the first thoughts that
comes to the ordinary person is: II will
have game stew"
Candidly, the idea is one of the best
you can adopt unless you are an ex-
pert cook. A game stew is easily made.
always palatable, and has this advan-
tage: you can use almost any kind of
game in its composition. and two or
three kinds of meat are preferable. Let
us prepare one assuming that you have
piece of venison, a couple of squirrels
and a partridge you wish to serve for
your family ard guests.
Place in round bottomed. deep kettle
q half cupful of olive oil Cor il you haven't
the oil fry out the fat from couple of
slices of salt pork cut into dics), and
when boiling hot put in your game well
cut up and let 1t scar over and brown.
Remove the meat and brown in the oil
a couple of onions cut fine. Replace the
game and put in hot water enough to
cover, adding salt and pepper, a garlic
Glove and a couple of Chilli peppers or a
sliced green pepper. Cook slowly until
the meat is nearly done, when you should
add couple of carrots and small vel
low turnip cut in dice. a half dozen on
ions and half can of tomatoes. When
game and vegetables are cooked remove.
thicken the broth with corn starch.

A game animal that in the season is
always obtainable at reasonable price
Is the raccoon, or coon. as generally
Cdiicu. 4NO bdIHe Is nicer tndn young
coon when roasted or served in a stew.
To roast, first parboil with potatoes as
I first suggested last week, stuff with
onion stuff g and place in hot oven
so 1t will brown quickly Then let the |
oven be more moderate and cook thor |

tables you fancy.
game pot pie can be made of almost |
any kind of game and is always COOL. |
Treat the game as you would to make |
4 stew up to the time you add the vege-
tables. Then instead OF putting in vege-
tables remove the meat and put in bak-
ng dish, thicken the broth slightly and |
pour over the game, put On top crust
md bake in moderate oven 20 minutes.
AS salad with game / hope you will
ny that old English favorite, water
'resss 1t has a piquancy that nothing
Use affords, and is in every way more
pleasing than the much more common
reen stuff. Water-cress may be eaten
Nth salt alone. or may be given a
lressing Of oil and vinegar. Nothing that
8 eaten as salad is so healthful. and |
specially commend 1t to your consid-
ration. A trial will convince you am
light. Respectfully,
Louis Role.
