NEW WAYS OF PREPARING THE USUAL
VEGETABLES

NEW WAYS OF PREPARING THE USUAL
VEGETABLES
When the family palate tires of "the
common growths OF Mother Earth" the
homcly cabbage. the plebeian carrot.
and the odoriferous onion, as tire it
will after depending on these vegetables
cooked in ordinary ways during the
winter season, why not try serving them
in uncommon ways?
Take the plump and vulgar cabbage,
for instance; did you ever stuff it? It
IS very good that way The stufing
can consist OF brcad-crumb dressing pre-
pared as for poultry filling, and used
either alone or put into the cabbage i'll
alternate layers with chopped beef or
pork, the two meats that go" best with
cabbage. When the meat is used have
at hand cupful OF good gravy, and
with spoonful of it mostcn each layer
of meat, but have the crumbs dry and
fluffy" moistening only with melted
butter
Another good filing is boiled rice
made rich with cream and butter and
used by itself or in combination with
chopped nuts Sausage meat is another
to be commended filing, while small
birds will give you dish ht to place be-
fore royalty.

Water the porridgc,
Here come nine,"

Here come nine,
but our meals arc more complicated
things, and we may water our por-
ridge only by cooking an additional
something easy. quick to make, and one
| for which the ingredients are always at
hand. Such one is the potato soup.
Soup without Stock
For this you may use the following
ingredients and proportions; To every
pint OF milk use three medium sized
potatoes, one tablespoonful of chopped
onion. one teaspoonful OF salt, specS
of white pepper one-half tablespoonful
Of -four and the same amount Of butter
This will make the best soup, of
course, but If milk is not to be spared,
OF not easily obtainablc, you may use
milk and water of equal parts, and in
the same way beef dripping may be
substituted for butter, provided it IS
quite pure and clear
First of all the potatoes should be
washed, pared and boiled, and while
they are cooking put on in the double
boiler the milk and chopped onion
When the potatoes are done, drain and
mash them, add the milk and rub
through a strainer, afteryard putting
the whole back into the double boiler and
on the stove. Add seasoning and your
soup is then ready to thioken.
Thickonlng sOupS
have already given one formula
for thickening soups; this is another
to be used when no liquid is being added,
but when butter is the medium for
smoothing the -four. For this you need
to take small saucepan and melt your
butter, adding the -four by degrees, and
stirring constantly 1t will take three
OF four minutes for your flour to cook
thoroughly, then add 1t slowly to the

~OME people suppose that business
H> men have little or no trouble with
their helpers, especially those who
~ pay good salaries The public has
the idea that man or woman must meas
ure UP to a certain standard or be dis
charged, and in theory that is the way,
but in practice there are many excep-
tons to this rule .
There are hundreds and thousands OF
incompetent persons all over the land,
and it is quito likely there always will
be. Women in Offices and business
houses who arc there chiefly 10 draw
their salaries are more numerous than
worthless men. since there is always less
mercy shown to men. OF course there
are employers who will not tolerate IN
competent helpers of either sex. Tor any
reason, but few business men arc able
TO harden their hearts when importuned
to help out a friend in distress.
The Friend In Distress
Husbands die, leaving widows who
must support families. fathers leave
daughters suddenly helpless, and disas-
ters and troubles make 1t necessary Tor
all sorts Of women to find employment
who never dreamed of such thing.
Friends cast about for some work
within the capacity OF the unfortunate
woman, and some business man IS sure
to be asked TO take her out OF kindness.

The manager could not afford 10 offend

On rainy days she would appear IN a
cab about ten o'clock if she came at all
and she would be absent for every re-

Worse than all, she had the peculiar
slanting penmanship affected by young
ladies few years ago, so that the men
who had 10 dcciphcr her sorawls tarly
tore their hair over her work.
She chattered and ate candy and
laughed and did everything but work

VI T is said that the salutation IS the
touch-stone OF good breeding The
manner in which the bow or salu-
x tation is made indicates ones train
ing, nurture or culture, because a cul-
tivated, wcll-brcd person is careful in
all the trivial civilities of life
A well-brcd person feels it incumbent
on self-rcspect to be courteous to all
sorts and conditions OF people, not Civ
ing a cordial bow TO person who may
be considered of importance and then
greeting one inferior in the social scale
with a careless nod or a mere elevation
of the eyebrows.

stufng With Birds
The method OF stuhing cabbage with
small birds-or is it rather a mode Of
cooking small game in cabbage ?-was
taught me BY German hausfrau Of
more than local culinary fame One day
She brought me four of the Quickest"
little wild ducks that ever swan
Pinltish, plump. tiny butter balls they
were, ranged side by side on an oblong
platter, all ready for the oven, their alb
surd legs trussed close to their equally
absurd little bodies, and their apologies
for wings tucked dcmurely behind their
backs. She also brought two red cab
bages, and demonstration lesson was
assured.
First she placed the ducks in a pan
containing some sizzling hot butter and

this she followed out the cabbages, and
placing them in a oolander. poured boil
ing water over them until they were
w1lted to a state of pliability.
Then she sprinkled them inside and
out with salt and pepper and melted
butter.
When the birds were Drowned she
laid two back to back in each cabbage,
and folded the leaves over and around
them, pinnIng them with small skewers.
In dripping pan with a rack she put
one tablespoonful each OF chopped onion
and carrot. pint OF water, tcaspoonful
OF beef extract, half teaspoonful OF
salt and busting OF paprika; in her
own kitchen she would have had pre-
pared pint of high-seasoned stock.
The cabbages placed on the rack were
covered with buttered paper and cooked
IN mcdium-hot oven for threc-quarters
of an hour, basting occasionally.
Dutch Cabbage
Dutch cabbage is another OF Frau Ms
clever dishes. Chop the cabbage and
soak in cold salted water for three hours.
in a saucepan put two tablcspoonfuls
each Of butter and sugar, teaspoonful
of salt, pinch of paprika, a very small
onion, chopped, cupful of chopped tart
apples, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and

should be about three cupfuls, Cover

Track laying was begun Wednes-
day morning on the railroad extern
sion between Dallas and Salem. The
crossing at the Southern Pacific
track had been completed on Satur-
day. whicL permitted the work to be
carried on without delay. Many
loads OF ties were hauled from the

atruction train. With the laying OF
the track now under way. all OF the
supplies will hereafter be taken 20
the front by train. Flat cars es-
pecially equipped for the moving OF
the steel have been provided. and the
manual labor connected with the
handling of the heavy rails will be
