MRS. CATE-In answer to your request
for bouillon, l send you my recipe.
know 1t is good, as | have used it a num-
Der of years:-Take two pounds of upper
round of beef free from fat, and chop
quite fine. Put it into the soup kettle,
add one onion chopped me, one bay leaf,
two sprigs of parsley two stains of celery
and one quart of cold water Cover and
let stand on the table for two hours. then
place on the lire and heat very slowly to
the simmering point; skim, then continue
simmering very slowly for four hours;
now strain, add salt to taste, and set
away until next day. Remove any fat
that may have risen to the surface, add
pepper to taste, the slightly beaten white,
and crushed shell of an egg, and heat
slowly to the boiling point, stirring all the
time then let boil without stirring for
ten minutes; lift from the fire, let stand
undisturbed for ten minutes longer then
strain, without pressing, through two
thicknesses of cheesecloth. Color with
caramel, and 1t is ready to heat for serv-
ing, and know of nothing so refreshing
on a cold winters day as a cup of good
hot bouilon.
For something "odd" in croquettes try
this:-
Spaghetti Croquettes.
Cook six ounces of spaghetti in plenty
of hot sailed water until it will break
easily (about twenty minutes), then
drain and cut it up into half-inch
lengths; then add to it a quarter of a
pint of cooked tomatoes which have been
rubbed through a sieve or if preferred,
the same quantity of white sauce and two
well beaten eggs; season with salt and
pepper, mix well over a slow fire till hot
but do not let it boil. Turn the mixture
on a plate, spread smooth, and leave it
to cool. When cold, shape into small cyl
inders or balls, brush over with well
beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs, and fry
in smoking hot fat. If this makes more
than you can dispose of in one meal they
are just as good warmed over; just put
them into your frying basket, dip into
smoking hot fat leave long enough to
heat through, and they will be nice and
crisp. l hope you will try this, as they
are really very good.
Yes, 1 can also send you a recipe for
mince pies without" a good temper
ance pie is made as follows:-
One and one-half pnts of chopped meat,
three pnts of chopped apples, one-half
| pint each of vinegar and fruit syrup, two
pints of sugar, one pint of raisns two
tabespoonfuls of cinnamon and a grated
nutmeg. Before putting on the tor
crust, drop over each pie bits of butter
Very sincerely yours,
MRS. BACON.

FOR EIGN

LoND ON, Nov. ID The morning pa
pers are again agitated concerning the
stability OF the concert of powers Of
China. The attitude of Germany and
the United States meet with disapprov-
al, the former because Count Won Wal
dersee has sent a column to destroy the
Ming tombs, an act which is regarded
as needlessly vindictive and the latter
because it threatens to break up the
concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments
strongly upon the American attitude as
"teeble compromise which it is i'm
possible to accept" The Morning Post
says: "It would be unreasonable for
the United States to break up the con-
cert because they do not desire indem-
nifty"
"The powers would probably be will
ing to consider Americas objections.
If, however, the Uu'ted States nave in
view some new combination of pow
ers it would be necessary for Great
Britain and Germany to agree upon u
common policy to oe pursued in the at
sence of general agreement" The
Standard which dismisses the subject
with mere reference says: "American
opinion on the Chinese problem is too
uncertain to he considered seriously.

Mr.. Editor:-We are but two in the
family and l have great trouble in get
ting a roast of beef suitable for us. If
l get a large roast we have cold roast
beef and beef a la mode until we are
sick of 1t, and if we get small roast 1t
is not liked by my husband as 1t dries up
so in cooking. Is there no way l can
recook a large sized roast without in1ur-
ing it? MRS' JONEo'
If you wish to "recook" as you term 1t
a roast of beef you can do 1t best by
closely wrapping it in thickly-buttered
paper, SO as to keep it covered carefully
in the oven. BY keeping it thus well
covered the steam will prevent the meat
from becoming hard and dry and the
roast will heat through in less time as
consequence You should always make
a fresh gravy when thus reheating meat
