Miss Mary, who revises my manuscript,
expresses doubt as TO the name soldiers
staff" She is not certain if its phiolosy
traces to It's being so nourishing as 20
support life or whether its resemblance
to staff" a brown, vlscous mass out OF
which terra Gotta statuary is made is re-
sponsible for the name)

How to Make Cuban OmeIet.
Cuban Omelet-Bon for four hours ten
pounds OF navy beans. leaving plenty OF
liquor; to this add four three-pound cans
of tomatoes, boil an additional fifteen
minutes, then add two pailfuls of crumbed
bareback, stir well and bring to a brown
by putting cover on pan and heaping Goals
of fire on cover.
CThe discovery of this very delicious
dish was an accident. l was boiling soup
for dinner and had a fiat pan of beans
on rear OF stove, intending 20 have them
for supper One of my aids -de-cuisine was
told to empty couple of cans of tomatoes
into the soup. Like many an army order
il was misnterpreted; for, when / raised
the cover to look after my bean enterprise
/ found them in the inseparab,e embrace
of two cans of tomatoes. There was moth
ing to be done but to crumb in enough
bareback TO absorb the liquor, stir with
bayonet and bake brown)
Rice Pudding-To about six pounds of
rice in a ten-gallon boiler, add enough
water to cover, and let simmer slowly for
two hours; then add four pounds of raj
sins (the dish serves better if raisins are
stemmed); after boiling an additional half
hour. empty into fiat baking pan, COW
er and bring to brown; serve hot or
cold. 1t was the writer's misfortune in
one of his early Efforts on this dish to
put in six gallons OF rice. l was gratifed
to note the increase In our stock of rice
but, being unwarned OF its capacity to
increase, 1 did not have vessels to hold
the overflow. After all. it would not have
been so bad had the erdptions all occur
red at the same time; bot out of dire ne
cessity, l had to put the rice which erupt-
ed at 11;45 a. m. in the tub with that
that had refused to be contained at 10:45
a. m, and the mixture lacked that uni
formity that my later efforts possessed
But. after all, 1t was but a blessing in
disguise for IL led to the discovery of
that delectable dish:
Rice Patties-To u gallons of half and
three-fourth boiled rice, add 80 to 100
eggs, stir well and make out in pats or
fiat rolls roll in bareback crumbs and
fry in bacon fat.
From the foregoing recipes, the public
may judge of the merits of my book, and
may also judge II the slanderous tongues
have been wagsing for naught.
