Left Over VEGETABLES.

Left over vegetables are usually
considered useless. They are de-
licious used in various ways. Don't
throw any of them away.
Bits of celery, too green or tough
to serve raw can be cooked and
creamed They can be stewed and
tie juice used as a seasoning for the
soups.
Left over tomatoes can be used
with macaroni or for soup stock, for
tomato soup or in a sauce for some
beef.
Cold peas are useful as a garnish
for salads or omelets.
Lettuce can be chopped, kept cold
and used as a sandwich filling.
Cucumbers when chopped give a
fine flavor to almost any salad.
Almost any vegetable can be used
if the housewife makes up her mind
to save it. The truest economy lies
in utilizing what seems useless.

The Slang Habit.

The use of slang not only makes
one appear rough and common, but
it destroys ones command of the
English language When the time
comes for one to use correct language
nothing comes to the tongue but the
slang which one has been in the
habit of using. The slang habit is
a hard one to break up, and can be
broken only by steady, persistent eff
fort. The summer time seems to be
the time when slang fiourishes, and
consequently it is the time when the
habit should be broken up.

Good for the Teeth.

We sometimes hear a child eau

other hard foods. The teeth need
this exercise to keep them healthy.
If the diet consists of soft foods the
teeth soon become diseased. Good
substantial food keeps the gums and
teeth in a natural condition.
