TO PREPARE PoTTkD FOODS.
European Ideas That Are Now Being
Adopted Here.

Pottsd foods are among the valua-
bic additions to the storeroom closet
that Americans are just beginning to
appreciate. These ported foods,
which must not be confused with the
commercially timed foods, are largely
used in France and England at hunt
ing breakfasts or for the picnic
hamper.
The food selected, mushrooms. fish,
game, meats and vegetables OF all
kinds, Is amply cooked as If for imms-
date service, seasoned palatably, then
packed lightly in jars and covered
with a sauce In which there is plenty
OF butter. If to be eaten within "a
hours. this is all that Is needed. If
to be kept several days, layer of
clarified butter or melted suet, quarter
OF an inch thick, is poured over the
top after pressing into Jars.
