I could not sleep or rest. Parts OF my

about year the sores extended down

How to Know when the Food 10
Cooked.
II the timetable is adhered to. the
bag may be taken out of the oven in
confidence that the food is we'll
cooked. But If from any cause the
heat declines, 1t is very easy to find
out whether the food is properly
cooked. Except in the case of vege-
tables, little hole can be made IN
the bag by which the food can be
seen and judged as to whether 1t is
cooked or not. This will not initiate
against the cooking of the food in tho
slightest In many articles, however,
a slight touch of the bag will indicate
to an ordinary cook whether the bag
is ready to be served. A prick with
a needle is another method that may
be adopted. But a peculiarly favor
able feature of paper-bag cookery is
that IL the food Is left five or ten
minutes in the bag in the oven longer
than the specified time on my table,
the food will not be spoiled. There is
little chance of overlooking.
Dangers to Be Avoided.
Cooking generally has its dangers.
like other occupations. 1t is the.
beauty of this system that the dan
gers are reduced to a minimum. One
does not require every now and then
to open the oven door Ito see how
the roast is getting on" The oven
is doing its work, because the whole
force of the heat is playing upon the
bag and ensuring every part of the
food being properly penetrated.
Nevertheless. care should be exer-
cised when opening the oven.
Care. again. should be exercised In
taking the bag out of the oven. A
plate should be placed gently under
the bag about couple Of inches. and
the bag drawn completely on to the
plate with the fingers. The bag
should be ripped open from the top
and the fragments thrown at once
away.

HAVE COURSE IN MATRIMoNY
High School Girls Taught courtship,
Mothercraft, and Domestic sei-
ence In Los Angeles, Cal.

Los Angeles. Gala course Of
matrimony has been included in the
curriculum Of the Gardens Agricultural
High school here. Five classes Of
girls are daily taking advantage of in
struction In courtship. matrimony, the
care of babies, mothercraft and do
mestic science.
1t is planned that boys in Los An
geles shall be permitted to take the
course next year. but some doubt is ex-
pressed about the need of this. 1t is
argued that "the female of the spe-
cies" will be SO adept in the matter
of courtship and marriage by the end
of the year that she will have little
difficulty in imparting her knowledge
to the less deadly male.
The girls are taught how to deport
themselves during courtship, and in
structed in household management,
home dietetics. housekeeping ac-
counts. dressmaking, millinery, and
even in such practical matters as how
plumbers are supposed to do their
work and how much they should be
paid.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class Of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs TO evening calls and parties.
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"

A PAPER BAG DINNER.

Roast Beef, Round, Ribs, or Sir
loin.-Grease well with drippings, but
do not season. Put in bag. lay on a
wire broiler. and cook in moderate
oven. For a three-pound joint allow
forty-fve minutes; for seven-pound.
one hour and twenty minutes.
Lima Beans.-Take a quart of Lima
beans, add two ounces of butter. four
ounces of diced ham. little sugar
and salt, good teaspoonful Of flour.
and few sweet herbs tc taste. Put
in paper bag with half a pint of
water. seal up, and cook for an hour
in moderate oven.
Baked Potatoes.-Thoroughl wash
twelve good-sized potatoes. Make a
few small slits in them, but do not
peel Place in paper bag. with one
tablespoonful of water. Seal and cook
thirty-five to fifty minutes, according
to size.
Tomatoes.=Place six tomatoes in
boiling water for twenty-five seconds.
Peel. butter your paper bag. put in
tomatoes with salt. pepper. suspi-
cion of sugar. and small piece Of
butter. Put the bag on the broiler
after sealing, and cook for twelve
minutes in a hot oven.
Apples a la Duehesse.-Wash and
dry ten large apples. Core them. put
stick-cinnamon-only bit-in the
place OF each core. and pour over
them a tablespoonful of rum. Put in
a buttered bag. and bake on the
broiler thirty minutes. When quite
done. dish up. remove the cinnamon.
and fill the centers with jam-straw-
berry. raspberry. or apricot. Cover
with stifhy whipped cream. sprinkle
with chopped nuts. and serve. or set
on ice till wanted. Use sweet apples
and let them cool before adding the
jam and cream.
Light the gas range eight minutes
before beginning to cook, or open the
draughts SO the coal range will be
hot Put the roast on first, upon the
lowest shelf. Put the apples lpon
the upper shelf. SO as to leave room
for the tomatoes beside them. As
soon as the tomatoes are done. re-
move, set the bag In a plate, and
stand where It will keep hot. Put
the Lima beans In the vacant place
and when the apples are done. re-
move them and put on the potatoes.
Thus, you will be able to have the
cooking come out even, also to chill
and season your apples before sitting
down to table.

My Paper Bag Cooking Experiments

Next, nearly as important. is to
grease the bag inside literally. using
butter. lard, oil, drippings or a very
fat rind of bacon.
Further. proportion your bag-size
to what 1t is destined to hold. The
closer the fit of bag and contents.
the better. and the more even and
compact the lay OF the food. the less
trouble In handling.
Use a footed wire broiler. or very
open grid-shelf. in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
If gas oven. it must be lighted eight
to ten minutes before putting In the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scorch lightly; then
slacken the heat third or even half
throughout the rest of the time OF
cooking.
Be sure to lay the bags In the oven
with the seam uppermost. especially
If water has been put inside. Seams
will steam open now and then-if the
opening is downward there will be
leakage and much bother.
Finally, 1t is important to remem-
ber that all manipulation, seasoning
and fiavoring of food must be at
tended to before 1t is put In bags.
There can be no stirring or tossing
in the course of paper bag cooking.
Nor must a bag be opened at any
time during cooking: such action Is
absolutely unnecessary II directions
are faithfully followed.

BY Martha MeCuIloch Williams.
When Soyer's paper bag method of

tention by friends. who, rightly or

of my abilities as cook. admit
that I was skeptical of its practical
bility. Indeed, was more than that
l was rather firm In my belief that 1t
could not prove out. But was in

trial made me an enthusiastic follow

been doing all my cooking by the
Soyer method. and each succeeding
day more than ever convinces me
that any woman. simply by following
Soyer's general directions, and using
that good common sense and care
which are essential to all good cook

GETS STARVED ROCK
State of Illinois Buys Historic
Tract for $3.50
People Gain Possession Of tho PIetur-
esque Site on Illinois River Whore
tho Indians Made Their
Last Stand.

Ottawa, nl.-Starved Rock passed
into the hands of the state Of Illinois
recently, when negotiations were con-
cluded between the Illinois park COM
mission and Ferdinand Walther OF
Chicago, who has owned the property
for the past 20 years. The papers
signed and exchanged show that the
state paid the sum of $46,000 for the
290-acre tract, which 1t Is expected
will prove to be the nucleus of one Of
the finest state parks in the country.
The new state park preserve lies
ten miles west of Ottawa on the south
side of the Illinois river, and in addi-
ton to Starved Rock proper consists
of precipitous cliffs. canyons and glens
which rival many Of Americas most
famous scenic wonders.
No spot in Illinois is richer in his
tory or legend than Starved Rock.
which was visited by the early French
scene of numerous bloody conflicts be-
tween Indian tribes. Upon its lofty
summit the Illinois warriors made
their last stand and after being
starved were finally exterminated by
their enemies.
The fight for the requirement Of
Starved Rock by the state for park
purposes may be said to date back to
the forty-sixth general assembly. al
though there was considerable previ-
GUS agitation in favor of the move
ment.
At that session of the legislature an
pointment of a commission to investi-
gate and report on the preservation Of
certain lands for public parks. and an
appropriation of $1,000 made to pay
the expenses of the commission.
