A Long and Useful Career Ended by His
Untimely Death

The National Tribune has mentioned

An eminent physician says that the
digestbility of finely divided meat is
not sufficiently appreciated; probably no
food is tolerated so well by our Stom-
achs, for even when the gastric chemis-
try is deficient such food is easily got
rid of and causes no discomfort. OF
course this applies to freshly cooked
meat, not meats that are hashed or
made over into stews. Meat in made
overs is never as digestible as when
cooked the first time.
Here is a new apple dish. You can
name it yourself: Remove the centers
from tart, quick-cooking apples. and
fill them with hot cooked oatmeal; put
a bit of butter on each place in pan
with an inch in depth of sweetened
water, cover closely and bake. Serve
hot or cold.
For Dreaded mutton chops have eight
lamb chops cut from the ribs, scrape
the bones and trim the chops, French
fashion. Broil the chops, leaving them
a trifle underdone, and let them be-
come cold. Have ready sauce made
of one tablespoonful of butter four
tablespoonfuls of flour. half a teaspoon
full each of salt and pepper and one
cup of cream. Into this stir half a cup
of cooked ham, chopped fine. When
the chops are cold and the sauce is cool
but not too firm, season the chops with
salt and pepper and cover both sides
with mixture. Let stand on a buttered
plate till firm, then egg and crumb''
and fry in deep fat till nicely Drowned.
A good health bread is made as fol-
lows: Take two quarts of whole wheat
flour. add two or more tablespoonful
of sugar, a quarter teaSpoonful of salt
quarter of an yeast cake dissolved in
warm water. Mix with slightly warm
water to a thick batter. Stir with a
spoon only enough to thoroly mix in
1t into pans about three-quarters full,
near the top of the pan, then place in
oven. Plan three-quarters to an hour
to bake. This is strictly health bread.
Beef and celery fritters make nice
dish. Make a fritter batter and stir in
TO it equal parts of chopped cold beef
and celery. Drop by small spoonfuls in
deep smoking-hot fat
1t pays to make sufficient fruit pud-
ding at one time to serve for several
dinners, dividing the batter between
several smaller covered molds. Mix
two cupfuls and a half of sifted flour.
one teaspoonful of sifted baking soda,
one teaspoonful each of cinnamon. all
spice, mace and salt, and one teaspoon
full of baking powder. Cut fine six figs,
one cupful seeded raisins, one-quarter
of cupfUl of citron and half cupful
of coarsely chopped nut meats Flour
all slightly. To the mixed flour add one
cupful of molasses, one cupful of milk

and generous half cupful of soft but
ter. When well mixed add fruit and
nuts and two-thirds fill creased molds.
Steam for from two to three hours, ac-
cording to the size of the molds. Serve
with either hard or soft sauce
Sardine canapes made as follows are
very appetiZing. but if you have a weak
digestion let them alone Cut brown
bread in circles. spread with butter and
heat in the oven. Pound Sartlines TO a
paste, add an equal amount of finely
lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce.
Spread on the circles. Garnish each
canape in the center with circle of
hard boiled white of egg. capped with
a teaspoonful of hard-boiled yolk.
Yorkshire pudding calls for six eggs,
one heaping cupful of -four and one tea
spoonful of salt. Beat the eggs. add
gradually to flour and salt and beat un-
til smooth. Reduce with milk until the
batter is as thin as cream. Forty min
utes before the roast is done pour off
most of the fat in the pan, strain in the
batter and return the pan to the oven.
When done cut the pudding in squares,
and serve it as garnish around the
roast. II may also be baked in gem
pans instead of around the roast but
then is not quite so tasty.
Children having the privilege of be-
ing out of doors without shoes and
stockings are in danger of poisoning by
rusty nails Miss Pearce. chief nurse
of the School of Agriculture, St An
thony Park. SAYS that when a child has
injured his foot the first thing to do is
to determine, if possible, what kind of
an instrument caused the injury, and if
a tack or rusty nail or any rusty metal,
make a solution of common table salt
one tablespoonful in a pint of boiled
water Take four layers of clean linen
or cotton cloth, little larger than will
cover the wound. Wet this compress in
the salt solution, place it on the wound
and fasten securely with a bandage.
MOisten the compress every three hours
for As hours; then discontinue the moist
dressing and use only dry dressing Of
soft linen until the wound is healed.
Tomato sou.fie may be made as fol-
lows: Scald and skin a quart of toma-
toes. Cut into bits, add one-half of Il
half an hour. Drain off the more liquid
portiOn-it can be used for soups or
stews-and rub the thick pulp thru
sieve. Return to the fire and cook
slowly until it is very thick. Measure
and to each cupful allow three eggs.
Season highly with salt and pepper let
stand until partly cooled. then add the
beaten yolks. Whip the whites to a
stiff dry frOth. mix them lightly with
the tomato. turn into small cases, bake
in a hot oven for 10 minutes, and send
Immediately to the table, as they quick
