To make this sealing mixture nut

WAYS OF COOKING cAssAcs.
sGeeuient Vegetable Need Not Always
Be Served Boiled.

Although cabbage has often been
called the poor mans vegetable. many
appetizing and attractive dishes can
be made from it. We give several good
recipes:
An unusually good salad was recent
ly served at luncheon. The inside of
q good-sized cabbage was cut out, and
the space filled with a mixture of
chopped celery. cucumbers and pep
pers dressed with oil and vinegar, and
we'll seasoned. The top of the cab
bage was replaced after the filling
was put in, and the head was then
placed on plate in front of the hos
tess, who did the serving. The
guests wondered If they beheld an
other mysterious Jack Horner pie.
Another way to use head of cab
bage is to follow the same plan, only
filling the hole with finely chopped
meat, little onion, and bread crumbs.
Bake until tender and then cut in
slices and serve with a cream sauce.
This makes very good luncheon dish
or an entree at dinner.
Fried cabbage is particularly good
at this time of year. First boil the
cabbage until tender, and when cold
cut into small pieces. Cut some slices
OF bacon into strips and put them in
the frying pan. When they have com
menced to cook, and the bottom of the
pan is we'll creased, add the cabbage
and fry until light brown. Season
with salt and pepper.
For creamed cabbage, boil the cab
bage tender, drain off the water and
put into the pot with large teaspoon
fui of flour, tablespoonful of butter.
little salt, and half a cupful of milk.
Cook, stirring until the sauce is
smooth.

Lacquered brass must not be al.

cared for in the beginning while it is
still new and bright, and thus insure
a longer and brighter existence for it.
1t should be washed occasionally
with slightly warm. soapy water. then

In damp weather the lacquered brass
