VaIue of Vegetables

In late August and early autumn the
root vegetables of Mother Earth make
so brave a showing. in quantity, quality
and variety, that one may indulge in
different one every day IN the week, with
two or three extras left over for Sun
day. Along general lines IL may be
stated that root vegetables are best
cooked in boiling salted water. though
the ebulliuon in most cases should not
be so violent as to break the vegetables.
While cooking, the cover to the sauce
pan should be drawn TO one side 10 al
low for the escape of the volatile bodies
Of the vegetables along with the steam
Some OF the root vegetables are TO be
peeled before cooking but the majority
are best cooked with the skins on. This
is particularly true with the potato
The lrishman's way of cooking II with
its jacket on is the scientific way, though
he may not realize It, The valuable
salts of the vegetable lie neXt TO his
skin and when peeled these are lost
The best way Of cooking a potato is TO
bake IT, the next 20 steam. II boiled
there should be plenty OF galted water
boiling hard when the potatoes go in;
then push back on the range where the
water will simply simmer until the pO-
tatO is tender Pour off the water
sprinkle lightly with salt and leave in
the saucepan with a clean cloth over
them at the side of the fire until ready
to serve.

HINTS CONCERNING THE
PROPER WAY TO MAKE BEDS
The Proper Appointments to Buy and How to
Arrange Them.

II matters not how handsome the ap-
Pointments OF the room, how soft and
luxurious the carpet how fine and
white the linen. If the bed is poorly
and loosely made IL gives 10 the whole
apartment an untidy look that no
amount Of elegance can atone for,
In good bedmaking one of the first
requisites is a perfect adaptation of
mattress and springs TO the bedst2ad.
Next, a well-made mattress. whether
IL be hair, wool, moss, or excelsior, and
over this a puff or mattress cover
made of thin unbleaehed cotton cloth
that can be bought for cents a yard,
containing large rolls OF cotton, tied
with tidy cotton
Have the puff large enough to tuck
under the sides of the mattress. to
avoid curling up under the sheet.
To young housekeepers these sugges-
tions regarding bed clothing are valu-
able.
Buy good heavy double sheeting
bleached or unbleached as preferred,
and, if for an ordinary sized bed. nine
quarters wide.
Cut your sheets two and half yards
long and this will allow for a hem three
inches at tie top and an inch and q
half ut the bottom
