Third-An boiled vegetables should
be put on to cook in rapidly boiling
water 10 uncovered vessels; onions,
cabbage and other vegetables strong
in volatile oils included. The odors
are dissipated in the cooking.
F0urth-AIl vegetables except beets.
turnips, carrots, etc, should be COOK
ed in salted boiling water.
Fifth-Stewing and baking is a
most excellent way Of cooking vege-
tables to retain food value and flavor.
All canned vegetables should be re-
heated in a double boiler and never
OF the direct fame. Cooking Is not
necessary and the favor Is ruined by
too strong contact with heat.
Sixth-Do not make the mistake of
serving vegetables in rich, heavy
sauces. The delicacy OF the flavor is
lost entirely and poorly cooked vege.
tables are often hidden in a thick
sauce of some kind. A little melted
butter, a few spoonfuls of cream and
occasionally very thin sauce with
little lemon Juice helps to draw out
the favor rather than bury it.

CAPITAL COMMENT

these things were brought about by
Morgan for. 1he interesto of the coun-
try?"
WHAT is MONEY TRUST.
Mr.. Morgan says there is no money
trust, but if the state of affairs that
he admitted does not reveal a money
trust, it would be interesting to know
what a money trust is.
Testimony before the Pujo commit
teepshows that IS financial institutions
in New York, Chicago and Boston by
means of interlocking directories
have a voice in the management of
134 corporations with an aggregate
capital of $25,325, 900, 900. 1t shows

PRESIDENT WILSON'S INAUGUR-
ALTON.

President Wilson doesn't want any
thing regal about his Inauguration. 1t
has been announced that the inaugur-
alton will be conducted with "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" This will meet
with the favor OF the common people
throughout the land. They want uni
versal respect directed toward the
president. but they want also that the
Inauguration shall have as little of the
pomp Of a British coronation as posi-
BILE.
Not only is the plan to have a sim
pie, democratic inauguration applaud
ed by the common people. but such a
ceremony will convey an impressive
lesson for good to humanity through
out the world.
Wilson is the ideal commoner.

Vegetables should, and do form,
large part OF the food Of every civil
lied nation. The importance Of care
in selection when buying. waste in
preparing and the art Of cooking vega
tables have never been recognized by
the housekeeper as they so well de-
serve. Too many buy unreasonable
vegetables which are not rich in the
necessary food values and are often
expensive and wilted. We tire Of them
before the regular season for them
has arrived. There is not the antici-
patton which should be looked for
ward TO in the use of regular season
able vegetables and fruits. Strawber.
ries and asparagus were not intended
for January and February and desire
for them is very much lessened when
the natural time comes for them In
May and June. Nature has planned
for our bodies in ali seasonable foods
and it is much better for US to follow
her ways from a health and financial
point Of view.
! Vegetables, as class, do not con
tain the muscle making elements, but
a large percentage of this element il
| found 10 the old peas, beans, lentils
and nuts which have meat value and
! take the place OF meat These vege
tables contain even a higher percent
age. Of the muscle forming element,
than many meats. They also contain
e very large quantity of heat and en-
ergy giving material Besides thes'
there are some which have q small
1 percentage of nttrogenous element
such as Brussels sprouts, spinach
mushrooms, caulifioSer and cabbage
but all vegetables contain various va
uab.e organic salts, without which lif
would be impossible. Knowing thi
to be true, is 1t not worth while t
devote more care and time to thei
preparation? 1t is quite an easy maj
ter TO find a very good meat cook. bu
Of the cooking and preparation c
vegetables, they seem to know littl
and care less.
First-Select seasonable vegetable
on market days when fresh. If the
are wilted before reaching your home
freshen them by soaking ID cold wa
er before cooking.
Second-All vegetables, such as ce
cry, potatoes, beets, ETC., should b
well cleaned with a vegetables brus
and a vegetable knife. Both are Il
expensive and are great helps Il
such purposes.

GOING ABOUT 1T DELIBERATE
UY.

Governor Wilson is going about the
selection OF his cabinet In a careful,
busineHslike way. He 40 doubt has
his mind made up as to the type of
men he needs, though he may not
have finally decided as to the men. He
is comforting with party leaders of all
shades Of opinions. When he makes
his choice there will be disappoint-
ments and surprises.
In the first place, there Is no doubt
that Bryan viii be offered the port
folio OF secretary of state II is due
him as the undisputed leader Of the
democratic masses. Moreover. Bryan
represents something more than mere
party. He is today the best represen
neer progressive, he fought for pro-
gress In political and public life when
to do SO was to be called a dreamer. /"
lie has proven himself democracy's
hope. But for his courageous battle
for honesty, higher ideals and true
democracy. the democratic party
might not have survived.
II Bryan goes into the cabinet II
win be a recognition Of democrats
who represent patriotism and honesty.
There will be no reactionaries or
agents Of the interests in the Wilson
cabinet, for the president-elect has
declared that he will be the change
less frtsnd OF the progressives and
constant champion OF progressivism.
There is to be new man with new
ideas and a new broom in Washing

In the case OF a senator. The com.
mittee report would be submitted to
the senate for approval.
II full publicity should attend the
committees investigation there would
be minimized objection to the Root
proposal.
The state OF mind of the senator
from New York is the interesting
thing. Even he, It appears, is in the
attitude OF cohfessing that the constl-

the impeachment process instituted
by our fathers" is not good enough for
us.
