TO COOK BEETs

The best root Is a native oil
the shores of the Mediterranean
1t is wholesome and nutritious
1t contains large amounts OF
sugar and salts. Consequently il
is very nourishing. The French
cook uses beets for a garnish by
cutting It intofancy shapes. Its
beautiful color makes almost any
fish dish more attractive.
In cutting the tops of the
beets leave an inch or two of the
stem, or, better still, do not cut
them off, but wiring or twist the
tops from the roots. In this way
the skins will not be bruised and
no color or sugar will be ex-
tracted while boiling.
Boil until tender. No length OF
time can be given. The young
tender ones will usually cook in
an hour. Often the old ones re-
quire four hours. When tender
drop into cold water and the
skins will easily rub off. Very
young beets are often served
whole with salt, butter and pep
per put over them, or they can
be sliced and little white sugar
sprinkled over them. dotted with
butter and put in the oven until
the butter and sugar is melted.
Beets cooked this way can be
served with or without lemon
Juice.
BEETS WITH BOILED DINNER
When boiling beets with a
New England dinner cook them
by themselves, but be sure and
turn some of the water off the
other vegetables and meat over
them. Peel, slice and serve with
other vegetables or as garnish
for meat.
BEET SALAD
Slice boiled cold beets and
serve on lettuce leaves, with
salad dressing - either boiled
mayonnaise or French dressing.

= You may think this easy,

looking for her for over ten
years.
All the girls I've ever had
the opportunity to go with
were morally and mentally
unfit for the society of a self
respecting young man. Now,

something that cannot be

to find such girl and make
a bome-but can I do it?

ways been fit company for self-re

case, that is IL you have never en-
couraged the 'morally and men

keep them where they were,
you have rather tried to uplif
them by showing them you wer
self-respecting, then you indee
deserve all the good that LII
holds, and 1t will come to you
YOU will have patience. But,
by unfit association with the girl
Of whom you speak you have no
shown respect for your manhood
you deserve just what you are get
ting, and should not expect sell

you change your mind on this sub
ject, and know you were just o
unworthy as the girls with whor
you associated. sincerely hop
the latter is not the case and tina
you deserve good.

work after she is married
when her husband is big and
