Cooking Wrinkles

San Francisco

To obtain onion juice. which is far
superior for seasoning to the chopped
onion so often used, cut the onion In
half and press in lemon squeezer or
CRATE on vegetable crater. For sea-
soning minces, hashes, Hamburg steaks
and in all chafing dish concoctions the
onion juice is invaluable.
Adding vinegar to the water In
which fish is boiled will make the fish
firmer and improve Its flavor. II will
have the opposite effect IL added to the
water in which meat or poultry Is
cooked. making the flesh more tender.
The proportion varies little. A table
spoonful is enough for fish, while twice
that quantity may safely be used for
the meat. 1t facilitates the cooking OF
tough poultry.

The Plural of Corpse.

The Herald has been called upon
several times within the past few
days for it's opinion of what is the
plural of corpse, and there seems &c
be quite controversy over the mat
ter
Webster is silent on the question
but common newspaper usage makes
it corpses, and there is no higher or
better authority. When it comes to
matters of grammar, photography
and syntax common newspaper usage
makes right. Newspaper writer's use
the word cropses; therefore, corpses
is correct
We also find the word corpses used
in speaking of dead human bodies al
three different places in the revised
version of the Bible, and as this yer,
