One Duty of a Citizen.

The principal element to insure sue
cess is local press that fearlessly and
irnpartially labors for the benefit and
prosperity of the citizens of its town,
county and state, writes Raleigh NJ.
Pope. The paramount condition that
goes with this principal element is the
loyal support, the friendly encourage
ment and the wise and judicious counsel
of the citizens who form the community
whose interests are protected, whose
rights are defended and whose honor
and integrity are maintained by the
local press. 1t therefore becomes the
duty and should be the pleasure of
every loyal citizen to furnish in abur =
dance this paramount condition, each in
manner best suitel to his nature and
circumstances.
A local press is an Indispensable
necessity to the success and prosperity
of an enterprlsing and progressive
town. To a great degree the citizens
can expand or contract its influence,
can make it giant of strength and
goodness, with a power to create
reputation for the town that will benefit
the entire community, or poor, puny
nonentity, with neither power, influence
Lor reputation.
The citizen should support the local
press by word and deed, by commission
and commission; by becoming perma-
nent subscriber and punctually paying
annually the price Of subscription; by
patronizing the local Job office for all
work in that line and the columns of
the local paper for advertising purposes.
Don't believe for moment the editor's s
life is all sunshine and profit. Don't
imagine the roses that line his pathway
are thornless. Don't throw cold water
on every enterprise that is advocated
by the local press that does not spe-
cially interest or benefit yourself. Don't
kick because you have been ignored in
the local columns, but make il prac-
tice to promptly report any item of
news or local personal concerning your
self or family and not keep silent as a
clam and then give the reporter a
roasting because he is not omnipresent
and omniscient. Be liberal in constru-
ing the language used in relating items
of local news and do not torture a
harmless, peaceful term into villa
nous inuendo, pregnant with vindictive
mischief.
By loyal support and encouragement
the citizen can arm and equip the
representative of the local press with
courage and fortitude to meet any
emergency with a determination and
persistency that never surrender or
acknowledge defeat; by practlcing a
liberality that will enable the publisher
to furnish and fit his Office in an up-to-
date manner and issue a paper that
will be an honor to the town and the
pride of its inhabitants; by awakening
to realization of the eternal fact that
the local press is by its nature and
operation the most steadfast friend.
the unwearied watcher, the bold and
fearless defender, the eloquent advocate
and the all round benefactor of the
citizens forming the local community.

The Cooking Of
Vegetables

1t may seem superfuous to give
directions for cooking vegetables,
but as they are so often poorly
cooked and as they form the main
diet of so many of our thinking
people, it surely is not out OF
place to devote some time to the
methods of cooking them so they
will be nutritious.
Like so many of our foods,
vegetables are composed mainly
of water, but all the elements
needed by the body can be found
in the vegetable kingdom. Here
we secure our supplies of starch
and sugar. but we find a smaller
amount of protein and fat than
in our animal foods. We find a
large amount of woody fiber or
cellulose in vegetables, which is
a great obstacle to be overcome
in their cooking. When plants
grow rapidly with plenty of water
and sunshine, there is less of this
woody fiber found in their struct-
ure, but in a late season when
the vegetables grow slowly, and
/ if there is small amount of
moisture, the plants are found to
contain a great deal of this sub
stance, and unless cooked until
i this substance is soft, it irritates
the intestines, so that all the food
is hurried through before diges-
ton is completed. This fiber,
though of very little food value.
has its function in the body, as
it gives the nee essary bulk which
aids in the mechanical processes.
About the simplest way to cook
vegetables is to boil or steam
them, and a great many cooks
make a mistake in boiling them.
The woman who understands
science knows that the vege-
tables do not boil, but that it is
the water which boils and the
heat which is conveyed by this
medium cooks the starch and
softens the cellulose of the vege-
table. Physics has taught our
cook that under ordinary pressure
water beco mes no warmer after
the boiling point is reached (2l2
degrees F. and $50 degrees c..
Therefore she allows the water to
remain at the boiling temperature
until the heat has penetrated and
cooked the potato, or whatever
vegetable she is cooking, and
then she removes the water at
once and has a mealy, fiaky
potato, or a properly cooked one.
Without this knowledge she
might continue the cooking until
the starch is partly deXtrinized,
and a gunmy sticky potato is
the result. The unscientific cook
is likely to endeavor to hasten
the process of cooking by adding
more fuel and keeping the water
boiling at rapid pace during the
process, which is 4 waste of fuel,
and the rapid motion of the water
often causes the vegetable to
cook up into small pieces, which,
in many cases, is very undesir-
able.
The overlooking of vegetables
changes and toughens the texture
of vegetable foods and destroyes
the chlorophyll and other color
ing materials, as well as volatili-
zes and Injuries the bodies which
contribute to the flavor. Over
cooked vegetables are not SO
pleasing in appearance and flavor
and are often indigestible and
unpalatable.
Cabbage contains compara-
lively large proportion of sulphur
and if improperly cooked, is very
indigestible; while if it is proper
ly cooked, it is easily digested by
most people and is very palatable.
1t is one of our most useful vege-
tables, as it is available during
