 We are grateful for the directions and for their opportune arrival There is such q va riety of salads from which to choose that time and space would fail me were l to attempt to enumerate a tenth of them. of course potato salad, well seasoned and very cold, is always popular and when served with Swiss cheese sandwiches forms a nourishlng meal. Cold boiled vegetables that have been left over-such as beets, green peas, string beans, etc.-may be mixed together, mostened with a French dressing, and served on lettuce leaves. As cheese is very nourishing, and digestf- ble if not eaten after hearty meal it may be served with all kinds of salads. Strips of cheese, or mounds of it grated, can be put on crackers, which are then set in the oven until the cheese is melted. Serve these very hot.
 Cups of steaming hot cocoa, made, if you wish, with a really good brand of con- densed milk, are q grateful and whole some addition to the salads, or, in fact, to any luncheon that you may serve.
 Desserts are often expensive, if good. And yet there are some sweets that do not cost so much as to be ruled out of your menu. Prunes, well soaked and properly stewed, are nice served with sweet crack CTS or with eggless cookies, recipes for which have appeared in the corner from time to time. Eggless gingerbread is sat isfying, and Is especially nice if accom- panied by the cup of cocoa already sug gested Jellies made of gelatin are not ex pensive, and may be favored with coffee, lemon, or fruit juice. A jelly favored with prune juice is good While this is cooling stir into it the stewed and chopped prunes.
 A wholesome dessert is apple sauce; an- other is baked apples.
 Oatmeal and graham wafers and cookies are digestible and nourishing.
 Will you not let us know at some future time how the luncheon business progresses? Perhaps some of our readers may send some helpful suggestions which can pub fish in the Corner and which I hope you may see.

A WORD ABOUT NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

perhaps. but think it over little. Have you never seen families rendered hopeless ly selfish by the unselfish member of the household? l know of cases of the sort where the self sacrificing wife has under mined the husbands character by her readiness for denunciation, where the son of the family has been irretrievably spoiled because his adoring sisters gave up every thing to him, where one daughter has been deferred to by parents, brothers. and sis ters until she became insufferabie.

Too Much Self-Denial.

You see know you pretty well. have known you for a great many years. l understand how your desire to do the best for John and the children has be- come the passion of your life, so that you have almost no personality of your own left. You have lost your sense of propor- tion and yoG do not appreciate the fact that when you deny yourself overinuch you spoil the man and the children fer whose good you try to live.

Every day is a fresh beginning.
 Every day is the world made new. z, UNDOUBTEDLY true, but 1t comes to
 us with especial force when New Years day draws near.
 VI Of course, t is foolish to lay stress
 on anniversaries. Each day is an anniversary if you come to that and you begin new year with every dawn. But in spite of it the special date and it's assoeia- lions must mean more to us than any chance period and with the exception of your birth day there is no other time that seems more like an end of old things and start on fresh ones than Jan. l. Preeminent 1t stands as the day for turning over a new leaf and for making resolutions.
 Does it sound as though were upsetting old landmarks when 1 advise you to decide that your first resolve shall be to make few resolutions or none? It may seem rather revolutionary, but if you ponder upon 1t a little l believe you will come around to my way of thinking that New Year resolutions have distinctly bad moral effect

Miscellaneous Recipes.

BEEFSTEAK PUDDING-Take a piece of beef from rump, chuck, or round and cut it into small pieces. A little ham or pork sliced thin also gives & fine flavor. Fry one medium sized onion until brown in some fat then add the beef and ham or pork Put in one tablespoonful Of flour and enough stock or boiling water to cover Season with salt, pepper, parsley chopped fine, and one tablespoonful of Worcester shire sauce. Simmer slowly fifteen minutes, then add three or four potatoes cut into small bits. Cook for twenty minutes longer Line a deep pie dish with pastry or ordinary biscuit dough, pour in the meat mixture. Put some slices of hard boiled egg on top. Cover with the crust of pastry rolled thin and bake about one-half hour or steam one hour Pin napkin around pie dish and serve in same.
 CANNING SQUASH-Squash may be canned al home; it is much better for table use or pies and has a much better color when cooked than dried squash. Select sound, ripe squash of any good variety. cut in half and remove skin, seeds, and inner fiber Cut in inch cubes cover with hot water and boil until it can be pierced with a broom splint While the squash is cook ing sterilize and, fill the cans with boiling water. When the squash is cooked pour the water out of one can, pack closely with the vegetable. fill to overhowing with the juice-running a silver knife around to eX- clude the air bubbles-and screw on the lid Turn upside down till cold, then wrap in paper and store in cool, dark place
 PLOTTING PAPER-A whole dish of very soft blackberries was upset on my light dining room rug, leaving large pools of juice when we had scooped up the berS ries. I ran quickly for plotting paper and mopped the spots until thoroughly dry. No trace of stain remains. find plotting paper an excellent first aid in all cases Of spills
 CABBAGE COOKED IN M1LK-Few persons know how delicate cabbage is when cooked in the following way: Slice the cabbage very, very thin, taking out the coarser parts. Put in saucepan over slow fire. covering entirely with milk. add ing a. generous lump of butter. Simmer slowly for about two hours. Crate nutmeg over it and add more butter and seasoning when served The milk makes it more nu- tritious and the coarseness of ordinary boiled cabbage disappears.
 WINTER SALAD-I have four cellar windows that receive fair amount of suA light, so I had boxes made to fit them. ant here I grow head lettuce for use during the winter. By renewing and fertilizng the soil and constantly replanting, I always have sufficient lettuce to dress my salads. This is not only an economy, but a great convenience. for if is difficult to have the necessary crisp leaves always on hand, while with fine lettuce almost anything (and very little of it) will make salAA.

 Method of Bleaching Celery.
 Il saw your item about bleaching celery and l had already discovered the method by accident l had separated my celery into two parts, wrapping up the green part in a piece of butchers paper and putting 1t away for future use. When opening this parcel l found the green stalks bleached and not bitter nor wilted, But think that when the celery has been thus treated it wits more quickly when exposed to the air that 1t did before 1t was wrapped up, always supposing that it is not placed in a cold place or a refrigerator J. A. M" The housemothers who read this sugges- ton will, therefore, when they try this method of bleaching celery, keep the vege- table in cold place, preferably in the refrigerator It will be more crisp if laid right on the ice.

Institution in this CITY. but the
men in charge are perhaps bet

seven years was cashier of the
Mondamin Savings Bank, is a
thorough banker and meeting
him, is convincing of the fact.
The directors of this new bank

and are men very responsible

Does 1t Seem Possible:

Very lew people of Missouri
Valley realize what a hold the
Notion picture INDUSTRY has
gained in the past few months
This can be more readily real
zed when the statement is
made that over 100000 tickets
we're sold at the Palm Theatre
during the year 1911 Figur-
ing that NO. Valley has 1900
population, it means that the
entire city has attended this
popular amusement place 26a
times during the year. A
short time ago people were say
ing that Motion pictures would
soon be a-,hing of the past, but
