MORE PAPER BAG COOKERY


Tomatoes Baked In Small Paper
Baas.-Wash the tomatoes, lay them
IN creased paper bags. II Is nice TO
allow bag for each tomato and
serve them In the bag Bake In a
moderate oven for twenty minutes.
They should be tender, without being
broken. The flavor OF tomatoes baked
this way is so much better that II Is
worth trying.
Stuffed Onions. AParboil a sufficient
number OF medium-sized onions for tho
meal, put them into cold water, drain
and, when cold, remove the oenters
Fill the onions with a savory stufing
or chopped ham, or nuts or bits Of sau-
sage; anything that viii make a stuff
flng Of sufficient flavor Place in a
buttered bag with a little water and
butter. and bake for three-quarters OF
an hour. Remove from the bag to a
hot vegetable dish, sprinkle with salt
and pepper and serve with the sauce
from the bag poured around them.
Baked Potatoes.-Parboil for ten
minutes a sufficient amount Of pota-
toes for the family, then place in a
buttered paper bag with few table
spoonfuls Of butter Bake for half an
hour, then tear open the bag. sprinkle
with parsley and serve from the bag
placed on a platter. Salt should be
added to the potatoes before putting
them in the bag The flavor Of pota'
toes baked In this manner is really
surprising to those who have never
eaten them.
A fish steak may be stuffed and laid
in a paper bag and baked, making q
most elegant dish.
Liver, previously parbolled and
cooked in a paper bag, would never be
recognized as the same dish which We
so often serve on our tables Lay the
bacon in the bag, and on these pieces
of calls liver, which have been vel
scalded in boiling water, season anC
fold the bag; lay on the rack in hot
oven and bake for twenty minutes oil
until the bag Is a golden brown. Slide
the bag off on a hot platter and carry
to the table before opening.

ENGLISH CLERGY POOR PAID
Only Nineteen Ministers Of olouces-

Endowment System Faulty.

londonderry 10 OF the clergy in
the diocese of Gloucester receive 81, 900
a year. or, in other words. only 10 are
as valuable as an ordinary member OF
parliament" said J. D. Birchall at a
conference of the Church OF England
Mems society at Leeds recently. The
conference was discussing the remu-
neration of clergYmen.
Another speaker said It was wrong
that one man should receive $4,000
a year for three months duty and a
house to live in while others were
receiving such poor stipends.
The archbishop Of Yord said that
the endowment system of the Church
Of England was full of old abuses.
Nothing but Parliament and a long
process of lobbying and agitation can
procure the desired reforms, be
said.

A broiler should have a good, plump
