HOUSEHOLD HENTS.

If n woman lives at home and finds
that her digestion is not doing its
best there are delicious dishes made
of nourishing ingredients that are
said to serve for II whole meal.
Mrs. Rorer strongly advocates
the following dish: Boiled rice
mixed with an equal quantity of
chopped nuts, hard boiled egg,
chopped fine, and a very little sea
soning, salt and onion juice.
This is mixed thoroughly, put in
to baking dish, covered with half
pint of cream sauce and the top is
busted with grated cheese. 1t is
then baked until It is brown.
Another dish which can be eaten
for dinner as well as luncheon and
is said to hold all the nourishment
necessary for the body is made of
toast, tomatoes, rice and nuts.
Each one of these is easily digested
and gives strength and vigor to the
blood and sinews.
1t is made by covering the bottom
of the baking dish with squares of
toasted bread. Tomatoes are care
fully peeled and cut into blocks and
put over the bread. A layer of Pc
can nuts is put over the tomatoes,
and these are in turn covered with IA
layer of rice which has been well
boiled
There IL morer ice wrongly cooked
than well cooked, and it seems diff
cult to teach the best cooks to pre-
pare this tropical dish in the right
way. After the rice has been spread
over the nuts ii is covered with a
layer of them in which are mixed
tomatoes and all Is covered with
squares of toasted bread.
This is baked for half an hour and
served hot.
Complicated as it sounds, 1t is
simple to eat, the palate likes it and
the stomach takes care of 1t easily
and quickly.

cording TO Answers There is no par.

hat II came from some other than
your own home town. But accord.
ingly as you value the scheme which
you are trying to work, don't make
the mistake of trying to work the
postmaster of that particular town
into this particular scheme OF post
ing the letter for you. In anything,
from harmless practical joke up
to II penitentiary otfense which you
may be planning, the postal service
will recognize in you only scoun-
drelly intent to deceive and defraud,
and it has schooled every pOstmas-
ter in the country into that fixed
belief upon which he must act.
For example, you have written
your letter, which you desire to ap
pear as having been mailed at par
ticular post Office in the United
States. You seal it, stamp the en-
velope and address 1t to the person.
This letter you enclose in larger
envelope to the postmaster of that
particular town with the request,
Please post the inclosed letter ut
your Office
The postmaster will do this. Oh,
yes. The postmaster, taking up the
directed, stamped and sealed en-
velope, writes across n corner of
he envelope full explanation of
he matter, reciting that it was re-
ceived from Mr.. So-and-so at n GER
ain place, asking that the post
master drop it into the mail as or
