TIPS ON COOKING CEREALS
Some oId-Fashioned, Wholesome and
Nutritious Foods That Deserve
Revival.

Old-fashioned oatmeal requires
much longer time to cook, as every
one knows, than the kind usually
found for sale nowadays. Yet many
housekeepers prefer it, and when they
can get it gladly take the extra trou-
BILE required to prepare it. To cook
it use a scant quart Of water to every
heaping cupful Of the cereal. Salt 1t
and boil it two hours the day before
serving. Then turn it into double
boiler and let it cook slowly all night.
In the morning bring it forward and
let it boil up we'll for minute or two.
Serve Immediately while hot. Some
palates prefer thicker cruel, in
which case only three cupfuls of water
to cupful Of the meal.
Samp is delicious old cereal that
should be seen more often on the ta-
bles of today. Like old-fashioned oat-
meal It requires long cooking. 1t is
very nice for Sunday suppers or as
starchy vegetable in place Of rice or
potatoes for dinner. Soak In water
two cupfuls of samp all night. In the
morning wash thoroughly. Cover with
boiling water and cook steadily all
day, adding more water as it boils
down. An hour before serving stir in
to 1t a tablespoonful Of butter and
cupful Of milk. Season thoroughly
with salt. Boil up well and serve
hot.
Left over samp is very nice Yried,
Grease a very hot frying pan and
spread the hominy pver it. Season
with little salt and pepper. Brown
and fold like an omelet. Serve with
tomato sauce.
Old-fashioned wheat calls for four
cupfuls Of cold water for every cupful
of the grain. Let 1t come gradually
to the boiling point and cook steadily
for one hour.

Flower Holders.

In selecting vases consider color as
well as shape if intended for practical
use. Gray, dull green. soft dark red
and dull orange crockery make good
backgrounds for most flowers. The
dull colors of the Japanese bronze and

off many flowers to great advantage.
Clear or cut and engraved glass is
safer than the loveliest iridescent as

lovely in a low bowl-shaped vase of

The Marshall Field estate is
fixing to hog little more of the

And the city council, which
falsely is supposed to look out for

to be fixing to let the Field estate
get away with it.
The application of the estate
for the use of the ground beneath
Washington street, from the
Field store on the north side to
the Fisk millinery store ron the
south, is now before the council.
The application has been favor
ably reported by the committee in
charge, and is most likely to be
granted by the council.
The Field estate fixed the
amount it would pay the people of
Chicago for the use of this prop
erty all by itself, at $4,684.e0 a
year.
The people don't need that
property now But they're mighty

Field estate then. 1t will besable

The Shortest WaY
Out Of
A Difficulty
By M D. ANDREWS

Major Macdonald, as the name indi-
Gates, of Scotch descent, was every
inch a soldier. He claimed that army
officers should be %celibates.
But Major Macdonald could not en-
force his opinions or their practice
upon those under his command. While
he restricted himself to celibacy, his
officers were marrying and raising chill
dren, and many of the men in the
ranks were doing the same thing. The
consequence was that during several
years when his command was located
in n place it came to comprise nearly
as many women and children as SOL
diers.
Then came the order to move. Even
the major was not prepared for the in
crease of his military family and the
herculean task of transporting the liv-
ing impedlmenta. to say nothing Of
furniture and baggage. The migration
was from Fort w. to Fort j., and,
since the command consisted of two
companies and each company was al
lowed but n wagon, it required q
dozen trips for both wagons to make
the transfer.
During the hegira the major fumed
and stamped and swore that he would
rather command a tribe Of Indians
with a full complement of squaws and
papooses, for, while his own force was
loaded down with effects, the Indians
carried their clothing-when they had
any-on their backs. His wrath was
especially irritating to the wives of
his soldiers, who considered that they

As 500 as the furniture was in po-
sition and the trunks, boxes and bar
rels u%npacked, the officers wives-there
were two captains and four lieuten-
ants, all married-got together to fire
blank cartridges or empty words at
the major. They began by calling him
a brute, a monster, a devil, but finally
simmered down to applying no more
disagreeable name to him than crusty
old bachelor. Then the meeting resolv-
ed itself into a committee of the whole
to express its dissatisfaction at the
treatment it had received and take
measures against its recurrence.
There was one dissenting voice in the
clatter of tongues. Mrs. Captain Fer
guson, a good natured, motherly wo-

that an army encountered with wom-

army was nc place for them, and, be-

patiently any scolding the commander
chose to give them.
