Cooking Spring Vegetables.

For all green vegetables use soft wa
ter, sailed and freshly boiling. Cook
rapidly until soft. The time will de-
pend upon the age or the freshness of
the vegetable.
With green peas, shelled beans, green
corn, asparagus, celery and spinach use
as little water as possible and let it boil
away, leaving just enough to moisten,
and thus save all the desirable soluble
matter that may have been drawn out
Cook cabbage and caulifiower, uncov-
cred, in large kettle of rapidly boiling
water, sailed and with a tablespoonful
of soda in it.
For onions scald and change the
water twice.
All others cook in water enough to
cover and drain it off after cooking.
Green summer squash, cabbage and
other watery vegetables should be press
ed in a cloth or strainer and we'll drain

Steering . Catboat.

When sailing boat single handed, it
is customary to handle the tiller by
standing to leeward and placing the hip
against it. In this manner both hands
are left free to handle the sheet, or II
the sheet be given a twist around one
of the cleats to ease the strain the other
hand may be used to help steer. As to
the matter Of catching the sheet around
q cleat to make it easier to hold, never
fasten it in such way that it cannot
be loosened at moments notice. The
proper manner is to give it a single turn
and hold it with one hand, so it may be
easily thrown off or let slide over the
cleat when necessary. This position may
be seen in the case Of q boat coming
head ON. She is pulling rather hard,
and the steersman has found difficulty In
holding both tiller and sheet, so he is
sitting ON the tiller and steadying Il
with the right hand, and has given the
sheet, which is held in the left, single
turn around the cleat ON the coaming on
the leeward side, in this manner having
the boat under perfect control. -Har-

mails may be substlruteu IN many cases
on these roads for star routes and mes
senger service with saving in cost and
better service.
The advantages of delivering letters
to factories and other industrial estab
lishments. particularly where large
numbers are employed, need not be
dwelt upon. The mails left at public
schools can be distributed to a great
number of families through the pupils
living remote from postoffice and carrier
routes. Letters brought to the nearest
school for mailing can be taken by
the rural letter carrier to the nearest
postoffice for mailing. Teachers can use
these letters as object lessons in giving
suggestions and instruction in regard to
proper, plain and neat addressing. etc.
In schools remote from postoffices the
teachers might with advantage be made
stamp agents and in this way families
far away from postoffices can be sup
piled with stamps stamped envelopes
and postal cards. This will promote let
ter writing aud use Of mails and will
also insure more regular attendance.
would respectfully recommend that
in the selection of roads in the future
for improvements the above suggestions
be considered and that the postoffioe de-
partment in establishing routes for ru-
raj free delivery use the improved roads
whenever possible.
The carrier whenever practicable
should be allowed to arrange with the
officials having charge of the improved
roads for himself to act as inspector or
care taker Of the road over which his
route runs. In this way he could many
times prevent waste and damage to the
road from sudden showers or thaws, and
be could also report promptly to the
road officials all washouts or other dam
age of Importance requiring immediate
attention He should be allowed to re-
ceive such compensation as he and the
road officials may agree upon. This
compensation would enable him to equip
himself for better service and need not
interfere with the prompt delivery Of
mails, and at the same time would help
to secure proper maintenance Of the
road.
would respectfully suggest that the
road inquiry OF the department Of agri-
culture and the postoffioe department
work In harmony ON the lines above
mentioned to secure the best possible
advantages for the business. social and
educational interests Of the people.

A bill has been introduced in the
house by Mr. Pearson Of North Carolina
to restore to Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
her American citizenship, which she
lost by marriage with an Englishman.
1t is to be hoped that somebody in CON

women in compelling them to lose their
citizenship by marriage with foreigners
and 80 amend the bill that it shall pro
vide that no woman who is citizen Of
the United States shall lose her citizen

nurses will be given as careful and sys-

The nursing will not devolve upon
mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts,
as it did then. At that time there were
no schools for nurses as now. The wom-

TOWNSHIP CLERKS
And Others Interested in Country
Schools Should Study This New
Law Carefully.

The amended township school law is of
interest to the people residing In the
country school districts. 1t should be
understood that the new law makes no
change In the manner of electing the men,
bers of the township board, that remaining
the same as the Workman law. Contracts
legally made with teachers and other
employees prior to the passage of this act
are valid. The board has entire control
In the dismissal of teachers. The law
provides for the election of two sub-direc-
tors in each sub-distriot.
Section 1920 makes 1t mandatory upon
he president of the township board to
appoint, at the annual meeting on the
third Monday of April, at least three
standing committees named therein.
While teachers are elected by the board
of directors, such election Is subject
to confirmation by the township board.
Special attention Is called to the provision
requiring that whenever any board of
sub directors elects teacher, the direc-
tor thereof shall at once file certificate
of such election, signed by at least two
members of such board, with the town
ship clerk, who shall refer such certificate
of election to the standing committee on
teachers.
In voting upon such confirmation, the
roll of all the members composing the
township board must be called, and
u record Of the names of those voting
"aye" and the names of those voting
ono" must be kept. This law grows out
of a recent Stark county case.
