A dearer sweeter spot than all the rest.
m HE idea of home is usually con-
nected with a family, a common
l. shelter, We find the word defined
as common shelter of any permanent
group and to the place where any in
dividual habitually stays. Continuous
living in any place where any indi-
vidual habitually stays. Continuous
living in any place by individual or
group makes that place home. The
prisoner, released after a long con-
tinement, will return to his cell as it
seems like home.
But the home we have in mind for
home page is the shelter Of the
family-all that is meant by Sweet
Home" the burden of the sweetest song
ever written. The real home, the home
of our childhood, the home associated
with dear memories of the spring time
Of life, the home which is refuge from
the friction and annoyances of the out
side world.
The home should be to the child
place of happiness and true develop
ment; to the adult place of happiness
and peace, comfort and health. In
truth, the home should offer to each in
dividual all that goes to make for hap
pinesS and growth. The young man or
woman who has good home influences
shows that advantage all through life.
Whatever else a human being has to
meet and to bear, he has always the
home as a governing factor in the for
nation of character. The old adage
says mans house is his castle; rhis
castle should be his refuge and the
refuge of the child as well. 1t should
remain the place of childhoods hap
piest memories, the place of youths
anticipatons, the calm satisfaction of
the mature life and of peaceful shelter
for the old.
Stay, stay at home my heart and rest,
Home keeping hearts happiest.
For those that wander, they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care
To stay at home is best.

With baked and boiled, and stewed and

And friend and broied and smoked and

We treat the town.
TN these modern days fresh garden
produce is perennial, though eXpen-
Il sive at times, particularly in cold
countries, where it must be brought In.
Canned vegetables are also used
great deal; in some families meat is a
luxury; in others the family are vege-
tarians and meat discarded, so the veg
etable is daily necessity. The potato
is a vegetable that appears once day
at least in some form or another. There
are many ways of preparing potatoes
besides the common boiling, but if you
boil them, do it the best you know
how.
Americans are said to boil their veg
etables too long, destroying flavor,
color and nutriment. Some claim that
If only boiled until tender they are not
DONE The decision is relative one.
When people have grown accustomed to
eating vegetables boiled to pulp they
may think those vegetables are not
done which retain their former flavor
and color. To be strict, vegetables are
done when they are tender enough 10
be easily maSticated
Take the various greens for instance
Greens include spinach, kales, beel
tops, dandelions, etc. They should MOI
be boiled until they are dark brown
ish-green mass of pulp. Before cook
ing remove all tough fibrous parts and
cook only until tender. With spinach
use only the tender leaves. Place the
spinach into a large pot of actually
boiling water, sailed, boil fast until
tender, but not in a pulp. Spinach
should boil in from five to twenty min
utes, according to age. When the
spinach is tender drain it, throw it into

WARMING OVER VEGETABLES

" EGETABLES by no means suffer
Y in the second service, for what
they lose in fresh flavor they
gain in SAVIOR. Rewarmed vegetables
may appear minced, chopped and mois-
tened with gravy, or as a fried accom-
paniment of warmed-over meat. Po-
tatoes are always good warmed over
if care is taken in their preparation,
particularly the new potato.
Cut the potato in two, dip in melted
butter seasoned with salt and pep
per, and broil in a double wire grid
iron. Or they may be chopped and
fried with butter, salt and little
cream when you like. New potatoes
chopped and fried with cold corn which
has been cut from the ear, or with
cold beans, make good dish.
Cold corn and beans may be fried
together or heated in white sauce or
with a little milk as succotash. A good
dish is made by cutting cold boiled
beets in small dice, mixing with a pint
of mix, three eggs and seasoning, ana
baking them as a vegetable
Potatoes and cabbage chopped, fried
with butter, pepper and salt, and then
pressed down in a pudding dish and
Drowned in a hot oven, does not sound
good, but is very palatable. Made
from summer cabbage and new pota-
toes left over, is excellent.

A DESSERT OR SEWING TABLE

A very light little table-modeled
after the tables used in hospital wards
where lightness is essential-Wlll be
found most convenient as an auxiliary
to the regular dining table. Where no
servant is kept the dessert can be
placed on this little table and put
where the hostess can reach it with
out rising. A lower shelf doubles the
capacity of the table, while in draw
err can be placed silver knives. forks
and spoons needed in serving the des-
sert and extra napkins. The top of the
table can be made like a tray, and the
whole is so light that after meal the
soiled dishes can be piled upon the
table and all carried at once into the
kitchen. In the same way it can be
used in carrying in the cooked dishes
from the kitchen when a meal is being
served. Make handles upon the top
and like a tray, and you will find 1t
most convenient article of furniture.

MAGAZINE AND PAPER RACK

be made of bamboo. We all know how
much space is necessary for the keep

can be made at home by any one handy
with tools, and bamboo stuff is not ex-

consecutive meals of fish, with pota-

host, why, oh, why, are there no
chickens in Norway?'
There are, madam, but they are for
laying purposes
''Then why, oh, why, do you always
boil your potatoes%

We don't like them messy. We prefer
to know a potato as potato when we

unpalatahle foods, but we were always
nourished, for good milk, butter and

Now, remember that during the

DO you think that Joe McNeal WAS
