Split Pea Said.
An excellent winter salad may be
made with either dried lima beans or
peas. Soak until they are very soft,
and boil in sailed water until tender,
but not mushy. Drain and cool.
Squeeze over the beans or peas the
juice of an onion and add one or two
bits from can of tomatoes, which
may be emptied and saved for another
occasion. When tomato is used a pinch
of dried thyme gives a delicious flavor.
Serve with French or a sour cream
dressing.
Split Pea Outlets.
A delicious dish sold in vegetarian
restaurants, usually under the name of
outlets or vegetarian beefsteak, is made
as follows:
Soak the split peas as for the pud-
ding. Put into a double boiler with
water enough to cover them and
sprlg of thyme, two cloves of garlic
and a green pepper, from which the
seeds have been removed. Steam until
the peas are tender. drain and partly
mash them. Mix with the peas a little
very finely minced onion or celery
Form into balls like fish cakes. Shake
over them dish of pepper, dip first 10
a beaten egg. and then in Indian meal
or break crumbs and fry. These outlets
are very substantial, and little, if any
meat should be eaten with them. Dried
lima beans may be prepared in exactly
the same way. except that little TO-
mato or minced parcely adds greatly 70
the flavor.

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation Of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect Of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition win
the aches and pains cease.

furnished house I'm Boston, where she was
detained for ten days, when she escaped
and went back TO Brooklyn, when she
again met her fance.
Then she sent a telegram TO her father
who went on TO Brooklyn and took her
home.
The Belfast dispatch concludes with
the Information that Miss Maxfield is
now In excellent health and feels no III
effects from her experience"
This may all be as asserted: but the
police OF this city say that Miss Maxfield
and her escort rode over from the dock
