grace is sufficient for thee. When thou passest

through the rivers they shall not overflow thee.
oh. what a sweet promise. His word Is truth.

Select tender, fresh beans; string and
wash them. They may. be cut in length
wise pieces, short crosswise pieces or left
whole. Have water boiling in kettle
over the fire with salt, and boil rapidly
20 minutes. Have jars sterilizing. Drain
the beans and pack neatly into the jars
and cover with boiling water. Lay the
cover on loosely and set in the steam
cooker or a kettle of boiling water and
boil for one hour If in the kettle; three
quarters If by steam. Lift carefully;
fasten on the cover, but put back to COOK

STEAM-COOKED VEGETABLES.
Vegetables cooked under pressure or
steam are very much finer in flavor and
with much less loss in nutriment. Some
thing is lost in boiling Most of the boiled
vegetable cooking is tasteless, unsightly,
soggy and indigestible; all this is chang
ed with steam cooking. Remember the
art of cooking is very largely producing
flavors which cleate a wholesome appetite
