nature OF a permanent investment for
tie railroad company
The secret of development is to
make as much as possible from the re-
sources at hand without injury to the
sources OF supply. Vermont is one
of the best states in the union and
it's possibilities have been barely
touched. Its future does not depend
on its banks, its railroads, its bust
ness men, it's farmers, or any other
one class but on all of them working
together toward a definite object.
Don't expect too much of any one
man or any one thing but do your
part and stand by and support your
neighbor who does his. Kick the
chronic knockers and the whining pes
simists into the street and let the
wheels of automobiles or other in
creasing traffic run over them or al
low the fins of coming airships to
blow them into oblivion.

The London Cookshop.


From this the present restaurant
had its beginning. In the days of
Elizabeth these cookshops were the
only eating places in all England.
The Worshipful Company of Paste
lars" was the name by which these
cooks were called, and they had pub.
lie stalls Qocated chiefly in the IA
nous East Cheap where you carried
to be cooked the meat procured at the
butchers stalls next door. Food was
prepared and served at these cook.
shops, but it had to be brought for
preparation by the customer. II he
wanted wine, too, he brought that
with him; vegetables, pastery, too
he must carry. Later, however, the
cooks began to gradually provide, not
only the cooking but the procuring OF
the viands, and from this came the
restaurant as we know it. A great
convenience over the method of arm
ing oneself with baskets of provender
and waiting at the first cookshop for
the stuff to be prepared. The street
of East Cheap must have presented
the spectacle of constantly recur-
ring tide of persons laden as If for a
picnic!

Vegetables with Meat,

It is a god plan, when a light diet
is more healthful, to use meat in com
bination with vegetables. Thus less
meat will be required. A very little
beef or mutton in stuffing goes long
way.
For the stuf11ng of any vegetable
use a mixture Of half pint of finely
chopped meat Cooked or uncooked)
with an equal amount of bread.

chopped parsley and a dash OF
onion juice.
Cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, etc.
are all delicious when stuffed with
this. Clean, but do not peel. the Gu.
cumbers and squash; cut them in
halves and stuff, afterward tying them
together with strong twine First fry
the vegetables in hot dripping pan
turning them until all sides are brown
and well saturated with grease. Then
bake in moderate oven for an hour
Some prefer to pare the cucumbers
and squash, but tomatoes should be
baked without peeling. Bake the lat
ter quickly, and serve with sauce.

Laura's Meat Pie.

Laura is one of the best cooks in
the south, and when she makes a
meat pie-well, we all eat too much.
When asked for her recipe Laura
said: La, bless you, honey, l don't
never have no receipt for that pie;
just taken an th'ow the things to-
gerther"
When pressed for details, however,
she condescended to say that she took
two pounds of raw, chopped meat, or
one pound of cold meat, previously
cooked, and added three hard-boiled
eggs, one-quarter of an onion, large
potato, and plenty of salt and pepper.
This mixture well chopped together,
she put into a baking-dish lined with
pastry. Cover the pie with another
layer Of pastry and bake. Laura add
ed: EFF the meat, honey, is kind O.

lacking in fat, but 1 didn't dare ask

The Babies in Summer,

This is the season when infant NOR
tality is at its height A famous ply
sician of Westminster, says Of this
lamentable fact: "The death Of babies
in summer is in most cases directly
traceable to summer diarrhoea. He
goes on to say that because of the Oft
proven fact that breast-fed babies es-
cape, we can plainly see the need of
care in the milk given artifcially
Keep the milk clean-the need is,
primarily, for the better care of the
milk before distribution, but it is also
true that the mother, the housekeep-
er, has much to do with keeping it in
good condition. Absolute cleanliness:
ice, if possible, and, above all, bottle
which has no tube nor screw top to
become easily infected. Use a simple
affair with large nipple which can be
easily cleaned.
But, above and beyond all, watch for
the flies. It is only now becoming rec
ognized that common house flies do an
Infinite deal Of harm by carrying dis
ease germs into our food.
Perhaps we will mend our ways
when we read in the London Lancet:
"A blue-bottle was allowed to walk
across piece of freshly sliced pota-
to. The potato developed colonies
of heterogeneous all along the
track of the fly, while elsewhere no
such development took place."
The Lancet recommends safe and
simple way to get rid of flies: "Put
two spoonfuls of weak solution OF
tormaldehyde Ito be cheaply bought
at any drug store), into pint Of water
and place this in shallow plates about
the room. Flies are attracted and
drink; the fluid kills them, aud with
this advantage that it also disinfects
them"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of

for time until there is a sudden col.
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
