they were done enough and, peeled
under cold water to save dlscolora-
ton, they were out of hand even be-
fore l was through making the sand
wiches.
In the meantime the squad livers
had been boiling tender in slightly
sailed water, with just dash OF to-
basco in default of small red pep
per pod. When they were tender,
they were mashed fine, with a lump
OF butter and plenty Of Drowned bread

All the bags were set in pans down
under the oven, protected from the
