remarkable only because Of these

One OF Bleton's predecessors, who
lived in 1875, said when there was
some difficulty in finding the kind
of twig which was deemed neces-

any old twig will do. 1t is not the

Most of the skimming is the very best part

accumulation as foreign matter, but such is
wrong idea.
Meat placed in hot water at the beginning
will not send anything to the surface. The
flavor Is retained, and the meat not only cooks
quicker but is much finer In every way than
meat put on to cook in Cold water.
One absolute proof Of this Is found In
steamed meats. All are found to be more
tender and delicious than when boiled OF

Various plans are being dis

to talk on the subject. This

it is carried out.

effective.
