have its salad and this enc recommended
to the army may be of value to our people
at home. The quantities are:
Three tablespoonfuls of oil; yolk of one
egg; one teaspoonful mustard; one-half tea
spoonful salt and one tablespoonful vine
gar.
First beat the egg: then rub the oil and
egg together; next rub in the mustard: then
the salt and lastly the vinegar gradually.
A few grains of cayenne pepper may be
added. A boiled Irish potato mashed fine
may be substituted for the yolk of the
egg. If the oil and egg or potato do not
mix well. few drops of vinegar will ia
cilitate the process. Instead of oil. melted
butter, cream or the juice from boiled ham
may be used When about to serve the
salad pour over the dressing. This dress
ing may be used with every species of LEFT
tuce, chickory, celery. cabbage onions, to-
matoes, cold boiled caulifiower beets beans
