The onion is appetizing, spite OF
delicate noses. Served in slices with
vinegar, pepper, and salt, what more
savory relish may be found for cold
meats or cold fish than the kitchen
lily? What salad is complete without
it? What would the cook do without
her jar of picked onions? Cooking
eliminates much of the i'll odor. but
renders the bulb less valuable as an
article of diet than the raw onion is.
Even the soaking in vinegar renders
it less useful than the bulb fresh
sliced. Every housewife knows tho
fried onion--that rich and savory dish
and knows also that If she would
have rich brown coloring for her
gravies she can find nothing better
than the fried bulb, more especially II
she includes a little of the skin in her
frying. This coloring is due to the
presence of caramelln, a black sub.
stance Identical with that found IN
burnt Isugar when fred for the making

the value of which IS well known Ia
the maker of meat extracts. This
caramelin is due to the presence OF
