Cooking Vegetables.

Every careful housewife sees to it
that her family is served with gem
erous supply of properly cooked vege-
tables. In the cooking OF vegetables
that grow above the ground, salt
should be added to the water before
putting in the vegetables as II has a
tendency to slightly tougher the fiber
and keep it in shape. In cooking the
coarser vegetables, which are those
that grow below the ground, salt
should not be added until they are
nearly done. 1t should be remembered
that vegetables should be cooked in
only enough water to cover them, for
il any water is thrown away then a
large proportion of the mineral matter
and potash salts is thrown out with 1t
and the body is thus defrauded. This
is one of the careless ways in which
"a woman throws out with a tea
spoon" A small bit of cooking soda
will soften and in the case of vege-
tables like asparagus, peas and beans,
the green color is intensified. Care
should be taken, however, that only
a small quantity of soda BIS used for
it has a tendency TO dissolve the struo-
ture of the plant. Those vegetables
like spinach. tomatoes and rhubarb,
which are largely water, may be cook
ed in their own Juice, which develops
much finer flavor than when cooked
by adding water. The process of steam
ing is much more economical as y
larger proportion Of the valuable min
eral materials Is saved.

The establishment of a modern and

The separation of navy yard work

The abolishment of the board of

Henceforth the officers who fight

Chosen men from among them are
to be the official eyes and ears Of the
secretary, laden with full response

hands. The secreatry will retain his
administrative and executive power
for his own exercise and that of the
assistant secretary of the navy. All
the reforms go into effect December

alone can do.
The aide for operations of the fleet
will be Rear Admiral Richard VAIN

sion of the Atlantic fleet.
The aide of personnel will be Rear
Admiral w. p. Potter, now chief of
the bureau of navigation.
The aide Of material will be Rear
Admiral William Swift, commander
of the Boston navy yard.
The aide for inspection will be
Capt. Aaron Ward, recently supervi-

Quoted by the department, which
shows that in SO cities the total retail
cost charged to consumers for beef
above the wholesale cost paid by the

In the upward movement of beef

as to hogs, the case is different, the
farmer receiving nearly his fair share
of the higher prices of pork in the
increased price of his unfed hogs.
