Culinary Notes


About yegetabIes-It is almost uni
versally conceded that vegetables re-
uuire the addition of fat in order that
they may be at their best, and there
is no fat which is so suitable as
butter for the majority of vegetables,
judged by the texture of the dish and
also by the flavor.
The American housekeeper has a
way of looking upon the use OF butter,
milk, cream and eggs in the prepara-
ton of yegetab bles, soups and sauces
as If these ingredients We're simply
trimmings" and not food: These ar
ticles however are valuable foods and
naturally increase the food value of
the dish of which they form part.
They are all wholesome, and, although
almost always more expensive than the
vegetable foods with which they are
combined, their use in reasonable guam
titles is certainly to be commended.
Increasing the cost of the dish by
the free use of butter, cream, etc. may
after all be economy if the increase
is intellfgently made, and the vegetable
soups and purees made hearty, as we'll
as appetizing, by the addition of but

light and simple desserts.
To Boil Cabbage-Cut small head of
cabbage into four parts, cutting down
hour in a pan of cold water, to which
has been added tablespoonful of
salt to draw out any insects that may
be hidden in the leaves. Remove from
the water and cut into slices. Have a
large stewpan half full of boiling
water; put in the cabbage. pushing
one Tablespoonful of salt and cook
from 25 to 45 minutes, depending upon
the age of the cabbage. Turn into a
colander and drain for about two min
utes. Put in a chopping bowl and
mince. Season with butter, pepper, and
more salt if required Allow a table,
spoonful of butter to generous pint
of cooked vegetable. Cabbage cooked
in this manner will have a delicate
flavor and may be generally eaten with

rheumatism Cure

rheumatism Cure
A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper following val
uadle, yet simple and harmless, pres
cription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haIi
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a
bottle, and take teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ulaly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remed-
les, patent medicines, etc., some of
which do give relief, few really give
permanent results, and the above will
no doubt, be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.
