Lambs or calrs liver is not a dish
to be despised The common method
Of serving II fried with bacon Is very
appetiznE II well cooked; but one
likes variety even in serving liver.
Try this way and see how choice
a dish IL is. Fry three slices OF salt
pork until brown, lay IN the liver and
scar well on both sides, then put into
a covered baking dish with few po'
tatoes parboiled. a few carrots and an
onion that has been fried brown I'm
the pork fat. II you have little broth
or stock pour it over the meat and
vegetables, n not use boiling water
cover and cook for several hours until
the vegetables are tender. Serve In
the casserole. Season when the dish
rs about half cooked.
Another nice way 20 serve liver Is
to wrap a piece OF bacon around each
piece OF liver after seasoning well and
rolling In -four then bake In hot
oven until the bacon is crisp. Turn
once during the cooking Liver with
curry sauce is another way TO add
variety TO its serving Cook the liver
as usual. adding a bit Of onion TO the
fat for flavor. Remove the liver and
add two tablespoonfuls Of -four, half
teaspoonful Of curry powder and cup
OF stock. Strain over the liver and
serve with rice.

er than the renewal of such as wear
out On the other hand the experts
reckon that saving OF $6l2, ,e03 q year
may be made by the reduction In size.
The secretary will ask congress to
conform the bank bills to the new di.
mensions at government charge for
new plates.
The work Of so modifying the paper
currency would require IS months. so
that no sudden appearance OF the
smaller notes can be expected. While
engravers and printers might be busy.
the scheme would pass into an old
story.
The department hesitates to 20 for.

proval and invites criticism and sug.
gestion. The clipping on OF more than
half an inch In width and 1928 inch in
length saves so much In paper and

MEXICO is a striking illustration OF
lVI the way modern business puts ma
tions under bonds to keep the peace
A naturally turbulent Latin-American
republic. mainly Indian in blood. pays
coupons on its government bonds to
citizens OF 2l nations. That is the
number OF countries represented last
year. In 1907. coupons on Mexican
government bonds were redeemed for
citizens OF 16 nations.
Every country so interested. through

the Mexican nation has given bonds

European ports.
For months the publicity experts OF

of them will be chosen to go. but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time. for IL Is the purpose to
have these cruises every year to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist

In that fetching fashion, the young

Closely woven goods require less

All fats except mutton can be used
In cookery; that may be used for
salves and soaps.
Put the roast in a very hot oven at

When coloring. use little vasenne'
on the hands TO keep the dye from

leaves are also good and tend to

For a long-sleeved corset cover. cut
the top on of your worn winter union
