A Few General Directions.

Wath the limited space accorded this
arucle and the number of dishes men
tloned IL viii be necessary to give a
rev general directions for some such as
vegetable soups. Where such soups are
made with cream base 1t Is perfectly
feasible to make any number of them
from one recipe Thus to prepare a
creamed vegetable soup for five persons
We woulc begin by scalding three cup
fuls of milk. Blend and cook together
lntii bubbiing one tablespoonful of but
ter and two scant tablespoonfuIs of
flour To this gradually add the hot
milk. Stirring until the cream is thick
and smooth. Cook slowly for FIVE min
utes. Blend some OF this cream with
one cupful Of the cooked vegetable
mashed TO a smooth pulp. Mix all to-
gether, season appropriately and sim
mer for five minutes. and the soup is
ready to serve. Some vegetables need
More seasoning than plain salt and
pepper. Thus, for potato soup a little
celery and a slice of onion should be
stee ped IN the milk while II is heating,
and half of a leaf of mint similarly
used adds pfquancy TO q cream OF pea
soup. Carrots, peas, onions, caulifiower.
shelled beans. asparagus, tomatoes. GU
cuHlbers, and many other fyegetab bles
may be dSed in this way, but in every
instance they must first be cooked and
reduced TO smooth pulp. When II is
or hand a spoonful or two of whipped
Or plain cream stirred in as the soup is
djshed is an undeniable Improvement
TO please the eye II IS sometimes pos
sible to add a simple garnishing such
shredded green or red pepper .or some
DTS or urn raw tomato.

Baked HaIibut a la Creole.

The baked halibut in the first menu
can be replaced by any large. firm

pounds or more. make a pint and a half
o. WEI seasoned tomato sauce. Wash
the fish, scald and scrape to remove the
dark skin. Arrange it in a dripping
pan. caste it with about half a cupful
OF the sauce, and place IN hot oven.

Mothers Are Helped
THEIR HEALTH RESTORED
Happiness of Thousands Of Homes Due
to Lydia e. Phlkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's Advice.

A devoted mother seems to listen to
every call of duty excepting the SUI
preme one that tells her to guard her
health, and before she realizes it some
arrangement of the female organs has
manifested itself, and nervousness and
irritability take the place of happi-
ness and amiability.

Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chill

disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back

displacement, making life burden.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. 1t strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and irregularities.
