Years ago. when the library occupied
the western center of the Capitol--a
very much smaller library than it is
now, with its two million volumes, by
the way-it was an easy thing to send
a page down the corridors from House
or Senate or committee room to pro-
cure the desired book. But when the
new library was erected several
blocks east of the Capitol it immedi-
ately became a serious question how

TT is Lent therefore meat is taboo in
some households Meat is high.
therefore tits taboo in others. Spring
is coming, therefore meat ought to be
eaten sparingiy in all households, for
after the long winter of feasting and
hard work, the digestive system, like all
the rest of the body. and the mind as
well, needs a rest.
Meat could be left out of the breakfast
and luncheon menu without any loss of
strength to most persons II appetiZ!ng
dishes of sufficient nutritive value We're
substituted. Eggs generally answer the
want at breakfast. bat eggs again at
luncheon time are tiresome. Following are
some eggess substitutes for the meat
dish at lunch:
Pecan sausages are nourishing and pos
sess an inimitable flavor. To prepare
them put pint of pecan meats through
the coarse part OF the meat chopper, and
add them to a cupful of cooked farina or
cream of wheat. Season well with SALT,
pepper and pinch of ground sage.
Form the mixture into round cakes and
bake them twenty minutes in a buttered
dripping pan in the oven. Dish them on q
hot platter and surround them with sa-
worry tomato sauce. Any other nuts may
be substituted for pecans.
Another nut dish which is full of faVor
is mock tenderloin steak. To make this
steak put a pint of mixed English walnut,
peanut and almond meats through the
meat chopper and mix them with an
equal quantity of fine bread crumbs and
a cupful of water. Season them with salt
and pepper. Put the mixture into tin

served baked beans are delicious. To COOK
them properly soak them over night, and
the next morning boil them until they
are tender in fresh water. They must be
slowly boiled and must be removed when
they have reached the bursting point, but
before they have burst. After this point
comes the baking, and there are several
methods which can be used.
Spinach With Sauce.
The New York fashion is to place them
in fiat tins. cover them with water, put d
piece of lean pork in the center and cook
them slowly in the oven until they are
golden brown. The Boston method pre-
scribes molasses and a bean pot for many
hours in a slow oven. There is another
way which calls for cupful of finely
chopped nuts, which gives a new and
welcome taste to the beans. Put the nuts
and the cooked beans in alternate layers
in e bean pot, add two tablespoonful of
molasses, a teaSpoonful of salt and cup

bake slowly. Add more water If It is
necessary, and cook the beans for about
an hour.
