cial and commercial pages of The

acv. The Record Herald makes
it a point to cover in full the IL

The high cost of living h s

thing-the tariff, the trusts, the
SYSTEM" the preachers, the

much silver, too big crops, too
small potatoes, too big farms.
not enolgh land, monopoly, etc,
etc, etc, etc.
While all of the worthy high
brows are to be commended fer
trying to solve the problem, they
are all away off.
The real reason for the high
cost of living is because the PEG
pie have got the money to spend.
Now wait a minute.
That isn't as foolish as it
sounds.
If times were hard and nobody
had any money, the cost of living
would come down.
Everything would come down
in price, simply because it could
not be sold unless it did.
Simple, isn't it?
Oh, no!
Thank you!
No Carnegie medal expected.
But, a simple way to cut the
high cost of living is to care for
your teeth before they get too
far gone, for it always costs
more to save them.
1t is believed by many that
next to diamonds and millinery,
comes dental bills.
This would not necessarily be
true if you would have your
teeth fixed before they begin to
ache.

Dreaded Parsnips

About year ago I read in your paper
a way of preparing parsnips. boiling them,
rolling them in something, and frying
them. wish you would print this again,
and I really want it, REEL"
For Dreaded parsnips wash and trim,
but do not cut off the skin. Instead
scrape carefully with a sharp knife. If
the parsnips be large split lengthwis5
and boil them for 10 minutes ins salted
water. If small, boil whole. When the
10 minutes are up. take from the fire,
drain, and lay in cold water for half an
hour. Take them out, wipe drip, roll in
beaten egg, then in fine bread crumbs and
leave in a dish for an hour. Fry them
as you would doughnuts, in deep, boiling
fat. When they are done take them up
with a wire spoon and serve in hot
dish. Satisfy (oyster plant is nice cooked
in this way. Trim both kinds of vege-
tables at the tip to avoid a 'stringy"
look.

mere detail, except to argue that it is
Troublesome, as if everything under the

Exactly, and as long as we are talking

In making sandwiches" continued the
good housewife, IF ham is used as th,
filling, and it is ground and mixed with
mayonnaise and paprika and a little
chopped olive or pickle or celery into a
savory filing, it is delicious. Sometimes
chopped celery and nuts mixed with may
onnaise are used for sandwiches, some-
times beef chopped and highly seasoned,
and sometimes Swiss cheese with mus
tard."
Another good sandwich filling and one
which children like consists of figs aud
nuts cut fine Another is made of canned
salmon and hard-boiled eggs, carefully
seasoned; another is made up of cold
corned beef and green peppers minced,
and yet another of thinly sliced bananas

ter" suggested
Yes she replied, but one .compara-
lively harmless one which many children
of my acquaintance like is made as fol-
lows: Take the long, salted crackers sold
at the grocers under the name of BAN
quet waters, and spread them with a
merlngue made of the white of eggs and
sugar to which have been added some
chopped peanuts. Put the crackers spread
with this mixture into the oven to brown
lightly, and they really make fine sand

"Al of which argues well for the fu-
ture of Indigestion" 1 remarked.
Not nearly so bad as sending young
sters off," said the good housewife, day
after day with bread covered with jam
for their sole midday refreshment, for
these things are laying up for those unfor-
tunate youngsters, fine cases of indiges-
ton which later on will turn their cheeks
yellow and make their eyes DUH"
"One thing is perfectly certain" COR
cluded, "and that is that an appetizing and
nutritious school lunch cannot be evolved
without some preparation, any more than
a course dinner can and the mothers who
realize this early in the game are the
cleverest and wisest."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-05

Can you or one of the Cornerites tell
me how Irish stew is prepared? 1t is
a favorite dish around here
FRANK F."
Cut two pounds of lean mutton or veal
from the neck of sheep or calf; rid it of
fat, and divide into neat cubes of uniform
size, about an inch long. Put over the
fire in enough water to cover 1t, and
stew covered, until it is tender all
through. An hour should be enough if
the meat be tolerably tender to begin with.
Have ready in another pot two carrots,
cut into small dice and two fair sized
onions, sliced thin. They should be
cooked 10 minutes to take off the crude
flavor. Drain and add to the meat with
pepper and salt to taste. Cover and SIM
mer for half an hour more. Then put in
two good sized potatoes, cut into cubes;
and parboiled, and two stalks of celery
also diced. Simmer steadily for another
half hour, covered. Make in a frying
pan "roux' of a tablespoonful of but
ter rolled in one of flour; stir smooth,
but do not let it darken, and stir into
the stew just before serving it. The old
fashioned way of pouring meat and vege-
tables into the. dish together has been
abandoned by most housewives. The meat
is taken up with a split spoon and ar
ranged neatly in the center of a heated
platter, and the vegetables laid about
it. An Irish stew prepared according to
this recipe is not an inelegant dinner dish.
If our masculine member contemplates
cooking it himself he cannot do better
than to follow these directions implicitly.

THE TANGO TEA
AT THE COUNTRY CLUB

The Tango tea, which is the latest
Country club innovation, and will take
place from A to o'clock this afternoon,
promises to be one of the most successful
of the many clever arrangements for the
pleasure of the club members and their
friends.
Elaborate preparations have been per-
fected with tables placed around the bali
room to be graced with the daintiest and
most tempting of napery and those de-
nclous tea datnties that are a real joy to
every feminine soul, no matter how slight
may be her interest in dining. Tea serv-
ices that pretty member of the House
committee calls perfectly darling" were
secured for the little tables, with all OF
the accompanying trines in keeping;
fragile little cups for. the tea, dainty
sandwich trays and cake plates.
The composition will suggest one or
those little functions that three or four
friends so often drop into when strolling
down Fifth avenue, New York, for the
chef out at the club has ideas that are
evidently backed UP by knowledge truly
feminine or he could not evolve sand
Wiches and cakes so entirely suggestive
of MARY Elizabeth They recall some-
thing more vivacious than the little tea
shop, for aside from the feminine sugges-
tion there is the orchestra-and the dane
ing-which give it the pleasurable chat
acteristics of the dansant' of fashiona BILE
eastern clubdom.
A cup of tea may grow cold while the
tea guests listent to some particularly en-
joyable song presented with orchestral ac-
compartment, or while its owner, lured
away from her table by the cadence OF
the fascinating tango, forsakes it for the
more animated task of dancing. But ev-
eryone is delighted with the prospect of
the "the dansant," and the number of
tables already secured indicates a gay
afternoon.
The individual tea admission is so cents,
nominal sum, when one considers the
many pleasant features. Among those
who have engaged tables for this after
noon are Mrs. John Nash Coffin, Mrs.
Harold Samson, Mrs. John Gezer, Mrs.
Felix Drennen, Mrs. Alex Birch, Mrs.
James Weatherly, Mrs. J. A. Levert, Mrs.
Albert Latady, Mrs. Tedd Joy, Mrs B. A.

Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., Mr.. H. G.
Seibels, Mr.. w. B. Dicks, Mr. Stevens and
a number of others. Many of the men will
join the tea guests during the last hour
of the tea, coming out from town for the
purpose, others coming in earlier from the
golf links.

MIR. RUSSELL BROOKS WEDS
MISS MASON OF NEW YORK

"Mrs. Helen Mason Dunn announces the
marriage of her daughter. Helen Mason.
to Mr.. Russell Sage Brooks. on October
q. 1918. at the Church of the Transfgura-
tion, in the city of New York.
The above card has been received by
Birmingham friends of Mr.. Brooks with
the following enclosure:
"At home after December 10, 123 West
Ninety-third street"
Mr.. Brooks spent most of his boyhood
here, though the final years of his educa-
ton both in music and the sciences were
passed in France and Germany, and he
has scores of Birmingham friends who
will be interested in his marriage. He is
the son of Mrs. j. Norman Brooks, who,
during her residence In this city and in
Mobile, before her marriage, was prom
fnent figure in Alabama society, which for
many day will have pleasing recollec-
tions of one festivity at least, at which
she was hostess-the brilliant costume
ball given about 10 years ago at the Hotel
