FAMILY STORM SIGNS

A group of Kansas women recently
put it to a vote and decided that the
easiest man to put up with, after all.
is the man with the quick temper. He
flies up, says few bad words, knocks
a few things around, slams the door and
and is over it. One woman says her
husband grows excessively polite when
she has displeased him. When he is os-
tentatious in picking up her handker-
chief, getting her a chair and opening
the door for her, she knows there is
trouble ahead. A second woman said
she trembled when her husband looked
grieved. When a sad expression ap-
peared around his mouth she immedi-
ately began to look back over the past
few hours to find out what she had
done. A third said her lord and mas
ter became patient. He waited humbly
for her to finish her harangue, acqui-
esced patiently in all she said, and put
up with her caustic remarks as with
vagaries Of little child: The con-
sensus Of opinion was that a few
smashed dishes is the most satisfactory
way out of family jar. The atmos'
phere becomes cooled mediately after
the explosion, and there is always a
nice, refreshing making-up when the
smoke of battle clears away. p

Veal, unlike beef, has its seasons.
altho in our large markets it can be
had at almost any time Of year. About
the middle Of March it begins to appear
and by May is usually plentiful and less
expensive than in any other month
Housekeepers of experience know this
and find that it combines well with the
green vegetables which are just finding
their way into the markets. This spring
veal is usually spoken Of as "milk
veal,' Indicating that the animal has
been entirely milk fed. When killed
at an age of from four to six weeks an
animal thus fed will have white flesh
very slightly tinged with pink, and it
will be sweet, tender and juicy. From
economic motives the animal is often
slaughtered before it is a month old !:
such meat is termed dob veal j" and
has a blueish, fabby appearance and
Shiny texture and is not only indigesti-
BILE but positively unwholesome, having
caused more than one serious case of
poisoning. The inspectors appointed
by the boards of health in all our cities
confscate and destroy such meat when
ever found; but the points from which
it can enter and the inadequate force
Of inspectors combine to make. such

It is usually exposed for sale in the

of it, also finds it's way into. the cheap
canneries whence it is transformed into
sausage and caned chicken. 8

Roulettes are something like olives
only the dressing is made of chopped
red pepper, and the meat rolls are
served with macaroni and tomato sauce.
In Normandy cabbage is frequently
served stuffed and baked. The heart
of the vegetable is first removed and
the cavity is filed with mixture Of
breadcrumbs and chopped meat. Any
meat that was left over from dinner
will do. Add to the crumbs and meat
one or two chopped onions, the yolks
Of two eggs, some sweet herbs and
seasoning. When the cavity has been
filled it is covered with the outer leaves
Of the cabbage which are tightly tied
around it and the whole is boiled in a
good stock until it is tender, which will
take about an hour. When done the
stock that is left is strained and thick
ened and poured over the cabbage as a
sauce.
