PRUDENTIM's PROGRESS.
Annual Statement Shows the Great
Strides Made by the Insurance Co.

SCEl0oS aASU0 Ny INC Ans1EtSAcS OOs
The annual statement of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America shows
what great work that company is doing
for the people of this country. The Pru-
dentiars life insurance policies, which are
within reach of everyone's means, have
always been noted for the breadth and
liberality of the terms they offered. The
fact that the company has today in force
more than 1900, 900 policies shows that its
popularity is deep rooted. Today the
company has in force more than $604, 600 900
of insurance, while it wrote and placed in
1900 alone over $249,O00,0O0 of this amount.
1t has paid its policy-holders in % years
almost s50.000,000, of which amount over
100000 was paid during the past year.
Today the eompany's assets aggregate
SAC, 900 or more. Its income in 1900 was
over $24.0O0,00o, its surplus at the end of
the same year amounted to over 5000, 900,
while the close of the century shows a
grand total of over 100000 policies In
force. The company's remarkable success
serves as an Indication of the great hold
that life insurance has on the social life
of the American people.

A N Els FOR AM ERICAN
SAUCES.

So much Importance have the French
always attached to their sauces that the
names given them are often noted and
historical and generally designate their
originator. When adopting them for the
American Kitchens we must of necessity
retain these names in many instances,
for want of something more appropriate,
as the name does not signify the nature
Of the sauce, but the person who de-
signed this PARTICULAR combination.

Perfection in the Making Of Sauces.


Chicago.
Perfection in the Making of Sauces.
Good sauces are not as difficult to
make as is so generally believed, the
failure to succeed in this particular
branch Of the culinary art lies in the
fact that the average cook does not,
first Of all. understand the important
part they play in the preparation Of
foods and does not give sufficient time
and study to the manner of making
them.
Blot tells rs that there is no good
cooking without good sauces, and it is
Gndeniable that many otherwise excel
lent dishes are ruined by being served
with a poor sauce
Good sauces cannot be made from poor
materials, though it is not necessary
that the substances used be expensive,
Dur they must be suitable. The Ameri-
can cook viii spend more for materials
in the making Of her sauces for one
meal than would furnish a French, Ger
man or Spanish cook with supplies for
a dozen sauces The foreign cook would
not attempt to substitute water for
broth, or vinegar and water for wine,
as does the American cook, and yet they
can produce the most delicious sauces
al half the cost. One wastes from not
knowing how, while the other can af-
ford the better, richer materials. be-
cause they waste nothing good through
carelessness and ignorance.
ARE SAUCES WHOLESOME7
Why not? Having admitted that there
are sauces and sauces. we must ac-
knowledge that a sauce from the hands
of careless or unframed cook is quite
as dangerous to good digestion as any
other similarly mistreated food prepara-
ton But from the hands of the artist
1t IS sure to meet such approval of the
senses as to aid rather than interfere
with the assimilation of our food. A
noted lover of good living so highly
valued the skill of the cook in the pre-
paratiOn of his sauces he deemed him
worthy of knighthood, and expressed his
approval in such wise:
An exquisite and poignant sauce,
For which I'll say unto my cook, There's
gold,
Go forth and be a knight"

THE ORIGIN OF OUR SAUCES.

While Americans are cosmopolitan In
their sauces. and have, from the abun-
dant supplies of nature originated many
dainty and delicious which are unknown
abroad, they have derived the original
idea of most of their finest sauces from
the French. But what few American
cooks understand is that the French,
who excel in variety of exquisite sauces.
have really but two original sauces for
meats and vegetables. With these foun-
dalton sauces, they use skill, cultivated
taste and originality in playing the
many variations with these two keys
The espagnole, or brown sauce, and
the white sauces are. as the French ex-
press it. the mother of sauces"
Understanding how to make these two
in perfection, you can ring any number
of changes, as they can be made to suit
the taste and accord with the dishes they
are to be served with A hundred va
rieties can be made just as we'll as one,
by adding or leaving out one or more
substances, or by adopting a little diff
ferent mode of preparation.
