There are many steamers In the
market suitable for this vegetable
cooking.
WASHING SPINACH.
Many hOusekeepers tell me they
would cook spinach oftener If 1t was
not so difficult to wash. Very true,
but the next time try this way:
Sort the spinach, cut and trim the
roots so they fall apart and the sand
can get out, then put it into a big
pan full of lukewarm water. Wash
well, lifting up and down and put
each piece into another pan full of
lukewarm water; alternate this way
with several waters or until no sand
is found in the bottom of the pans.
Then put a few pieces of spinach at
time into colander, letting cold
water run through it, rinsing well,
remove and add more and rinse. If
the work has been well done it should
be free from sand and it is ready to
cook.
TO COOK SPINACH.
| Quite a little water has been left
clinging to the spinach, quite enough
! to cook it in, so add no water to the
| kettle. Set over a slow fire, partly
cover and cook until tender, about Is
or 25 minutes; season with salt and
pepper and serve with lemon juice,
hard boiled eggs and vinegar.
The French people have many ways
of serving spinach. Usually it is
chopped fine and rubbed through a
sieve, and sometimes seasoned with
onion while cooking, then chopped,
dressed with butter, cream and bread
/ crumbs or butter, flour or beaten
eggs and stock and cream soups.
SPINACH sOUFTLE
Material - Cooked spinach two
cups; white sauce, one cup; whites
of eggs, three; grated onion, one
| teaspoon lemon juice, one table
spoon salt and paprika.
Directions-Rubt the cooked spinach
through the sieve, add all the season
ing and the stiff1y beaten whites of
eggs folded in last Turn into but
tered mold or cups. Set them in hot
water and bake in a moderate oven
20 minutes. Turn out and serve hot
sprinkled with chopped parsley and
riced yolk of hard cooked egg.

CONFISCATED CATTLE
TO BE SEIZED

1t now appears that the cattle confis-
Gated from the large ranges of the mil
lionaire cattle king, Luis Terrazas, in
Sonora, by the constitutionalists, will
not be marketed in the United States
without making someone great deal of
trouble.
This became evident today when Juan
Francisco Molinar, holding power of at
torney from Gen. Terrazas, arrived in
Douglas, his mission being to have all
the ports of entry on the border closely
watched for the arrival of these confis-
Gated cattle, and the property seized as
soon as it enters the United States,
under the law governing such cases,
and returned to its rightful owner.
1t is known that thousands of head of
cattle have been seized from the Ter
razas ranches by order of the Sonora
state government, and it is the intention
of the state to export these cattle and
market them in this county, turning
the money thus received into the state
treasury. Attorney Molinar will re-
main here and it is understood he has
agents watching other ports of entry, and
every instance of any cattle bearing the
Terrazas brand being important, they
will be seized the moment such entry is
made. Douglas International
