FAv0RlTE DISH IN ORIENT
Saffron PLAT, Mainly Composed Of
Rice, Considered Great DeIleaey
In the Far East.

This is also called wedding pilaf,,
because it is invariably made and
served during wedding dinners and
other great occasions in the Orient.
1t is composed of two parts, the first.
being plain pilaf, which should be.
made before the second part is COM
menced. For this first part:
Ingredients Five cupfuls of stock.
two cupfuls of rice, two tablespoonfuls
butter, salt and pepper.
Method-In deep vessel roast well
the rice In the butter and add the
broth. Season to taste and boil over
a strong fire. When nearly done
slacken the fire and cover the pilaf
with piece of muslin under the lid
of the vessel in order to prevent the
water from the steam falling back into
the vessel. After five or ten minutes
stir the rice lightly with a perforated
spoon and put into a hot oven till all
moisture has evaporated and the rice
remains almost dry.
Put this aside where it will remain
warm and proceed to make the second
part of the pilaf
Ingredient: Three cupfuls water,
one cupful Of rice, two pinches Of SAT-
from, two tablespoonfuls of rose waterr
half cupful of sugar.
Method-Put the washed rice and
the sugar together in a deep vessel
and boil over a moderate fire till near
ly done. Add the sugar, also the
saffron (Which must have been soaked
In the rose water for twenty-four
hours) and mix well. When the rice
is well cooked the pilaf may be con-
sidered done, when it should be poured
over the first part of the dish. Serve
in deep plate. If the entire quantity
is not to be used at one time then
1t is advisable to keep the sections
separate and heat separately, mixing
just before serving.

aseents just few streets away from
his ONCE, rising to the end Of 1000

With a little urging the customer
was induced to take the aerial jour

pointed out the suburban lot, showing
its exact location and the character
of the surrounding property quite as
clearly as If they were actually on the
ground. Before they descended the
man had agreed to buy the lot.

Strictly First Class

up the Idaho exhibit and NJ one
realizes better than he the magnitude
of the undertaking However, by be-
ginning early and working hard all

the vast and varied resources of this
great young state.
The following letter was written by
Major Reed shortly after his return
from the exposition city, and 1t is pub

to dwell with any great stress on pas'
but to demonstrate to the world
that Idaho is much up-to-date from
every pu1int of view as any state in
the Union
'Plans are now being prepared 70,

ton which will be classy and up-to-date
and, we believe, beautiful, and wheH
