SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT
DAINTY MEALS THAT MAY De

Much Depends on the Proper Furnish
Ing Of the Tabie-5alaneed veae-
table Ration Not Hard to
Put Together.

Now that the price of meat is SO
high many are looking about for means
to do without 1t. trying to discover
something to take Its place. OF
course. vegetarianism at once pre-
sents itself as a solution OF the din

AZ boiled cabbage. corn, potatoes.
coarse bread. beets. etc. These are
the articles OF diet they see In imagi-
nation upon the table as soon as meat
Is withheld. But Il need not be so. Il
Is possible TO devise tempting and
tasty dishes for a luncheon or a for
NAL dinner from which meat Is alto
gether excluded. Coarse vegetables.
such as those mentioned. need never
be served: indeed. many vegetarians
hardly ever touch them. Let US think.
then. what we shall eat and how to
make the table look appetizins
In the FIRST place. the table may be
made to look charming II II Is taste
fully laid with fine linen. spotiess
glass. polished silver and dainty china.
The dishes which are brought on to
the table should contain food dressed
and arranged artistically.
IL Is possible to arrange dishes SO
that no one knows exactly what he Is
eating. but thinks II delicious. In
stead OF giving one vegetable. give
several at once. mixed together thor
oughly. and covered with dressing or
sauce. to make II appear still more
appetizinx. In arranging these com
binations. vegetables or fruits which
blend together well must be intro
duced: also due allowance must be
made for the various combinations
and proportions Of the foods-that IL.
acids. proteids. carbohydrates. etc.
must be balanced as nearly rs possi-
BILE.
Salads OF all kinds are beneficial.
and fruits are also very good during
the hot weather. A delicious fruit
salad may be made by mixing to-
gether. in a large bowl. chopped or
anges. pears, plums. grapes. peaches.
apricots. etc. dates. figs and nuts. and
pouring this into another bowl. lined
with lettuce leaves. Honey should be
poured over this and whipped cream
placed on top. This. with n couple of
I peanut butter sandwiches. will make .
delicious and sustaining meal
The following is a delightful salad:
Scoop out the insides of several toma-
toes. Cut up three or four anchovies
into small fragments. Cut up also the
centers OF the tomatoes. Mix together
with a little finely chopped cabbage.
/ green pepper and favor Of onion.
/ Replace In the empty tomatoes and

Cream cheese will be found a valu.
able addition TO many salads. Nuts
also may be used freely. both for pur.

contain the same muscle forming ele-
ments as meat. nv trying a number

CAPITAL MOURNS.
Ex-senator Moneys Last Public Speech
delivered There.

Jackson, Miss.-News of the death of
former United States Senator II. d.
Money, which occurred at his seacoast
hame, caused profound shock to the
many friends and admirers of this dis
tinguished Mississippian at the capital.
There was scarcely a man or woman in
this city who knew Senator Money but
TO love and respect him. This was mani
Tested in a decided degree less than ten
days ago, upon the occasion OF his last
visit here, to deliver an address under
the auspices of the Central Wilson and
Marshall Club. Although the elements
were threatening and lightning and thun-
der played throughout the period of his
address. the large eoneourse of people
remained until out of consideration for
the assembly he himself brought his re-
marks 10 an abrupt close IN order that
they might reach home in safety.
Except for brief periods of about two
years or three years At time fernando
DeSoto Money since he left the law class
Of the University OF Mississippi in 1860
has been in the public hfe of his native
state. He began his active career in
early manhood as . soldier and officer OF
the Confedsraey first in the Eleventh and
Afterwards in the Tweuty-eighth Missis
sippi infantry.
When the war ended he returned to the
delta and took up planting along with his
law practice and in a few months found
himself in the editorial ehair as editor of
che Carrollton Conservative. While serv-
ing term as mayor OF Winona, to which
he had just been elected, he was elected
ss representative in congress from the
Fourth district, which was in 1878. From
that time on, with the exception of a
few years during which he voluntarily
retired and located in Washington. for
the practice Of law and the study OF eco
nomics. this able statesman served his
state, in either the house OF representa-
tives or the senate at Washington. He
retired on March 3, 1911, to be succeeded
BY Hon. John Sharp Williams.

CROP EAST OF RIVER
SHORT Of LAST YEAR
COTTON IN WEST FRUITEp ABOUT
LIKE CROP OF 1911.
INSECT DAMAGE IS SMALL
Danger From Frost of Average Date Is
Comparatively Small Except in
Oklahoma, Northern Texas
and Tennessee.

West of the river, owing to good sea-
sons, with few drawbacks, the crop has
gone on in good shape for nearly the en-
tire season. In this section the plant j.
well advanced and much picking has al
ready been done. Taken a. whole,
the crop on that side Of the stream Is
from so to IS per cent. opened, although
in Oklahoma there is probably more late
cotton than in any other state. Much
Of this Is in dsngeS e frost In the
west the plant is heavN fruited-most
correspondents estimate a. heavily az
last wear
In the east only a small portion of
the crop Is opened, although it i esti-
mated that very small portion j. in
danger OF frost OF average date, except
IN Tennessee, where the plant Is still
vigorous. The plant over the entire
section Is late, but has not fruited heav-
ily-estimates place il from 50 10 IS
pr cent OF last year-aud a. there Is
little promise OF top crop il Is believed
that picking. when snee well started
will not last for long.
The insect damage to the crop has
been small when compared with other
vars. Considerable boil weevil have ap-
peared in Mississippi and Louisiana, but
a fairly good crop was made before their
appearance. Elsewhere she damage from
insects has been negligible.
Correspondents size up the crop about
like this:
Carolinas-Crop much below last year.
Little in danger from frost.
Georgia-Crop very short-from 80 to
65 per cent. of last year. Almost no
danger of frost.
Alabama-Estimates average fruitage
at about two-thirds of last year.
Mississippi-Some sections expect good
crop, Others poor, but nearly all below
la.t year.
Tennessee and Missouri-Good crop
promised, but it is late and in danger
from frost.
Arkansas-Mueh diversity of opinion
but generally below last year.
Oklahoma-SIost estimates for best
yield in history of state, with late frost.
Texas-Average about the same as
last year.
Louisiana-Fruited about like last
year, but more OF it may escape boil
weevil.
