fuse TO lend TO farmers and manufae-
turers
The Senator condemned the proposal of
his Democratic colleagues to guarantee

cluded with a strong demand that the
government issue Treasury certificates on

A Few Salad Hints.

Until ready to serve, keep separate
and very cold. each kind of food OF
which the salad IL 90 be made. Let
vegetables stand for while in cold
water; II preserves their color.
What does "marinatc" mean? This
question Is often asked, and the an
swer is rather an anti-climax For
although the term has learned sound,
IL means simply, weting. To marin
ate and sorve with mayonnaise," indi-
Gates nothing more startling than that
the ingredients are all to be wet or
sprinklcd with oil and vinegar and the
mayonnaisc added at the last as a gar
nish, This treatment improves most
salads. Avoid chopping of the mixture; /;
il gives "hashy" result, meat and
vegetables should be sharply diced,
and fish is better for being broken into
shreds with the fingers.
