FOOD FOR THE FAMILY TABLE.

There is no more APPLYING salad

as shredded cabbage dressed with
cream and sugar, with little vinegar
and pinch of salt If sour cream is
used one does not need to add as
much vinegar.

in soft water. In the morning parboil
them in fresh water until tender;
drain, and season with a teaspoonful
of salt, half teaspoonful OF mustard,
a dash of cayenne pepper, two table
spoonfuls Of molasses, half a cup of
butter and hot water enough to cover
the beans. Cover the bean pot and
bake five or six hours. Just before
serving, beat a fourth of a cup of
cream, add two tablespoonfuls of to-
mato catsup, a teaspoonful of onion
juice; use this sauce on each portion
of beans, as served.
There is no dessert which is more
wholesome for the child than a we'll

blespoonful of salt, a dash of red pep
per, a tablespoonful OF sugar, a can

Kitchen Aprons.

Aprons for wear in the kitchen
should be all enveloping. They can be
made of Bingham, percale or white
lawn, but however made they should
completely cover the skirt, and should
have a large bib. A ruffle about the
bottom of the apron protects the hem

off anything which is spilled or drop

SOME GOOD DISHES.

Most housekepers appreciate a good
cake, one that is not too expensive.
and may be the foundation for a va
riety OF kinds Here it is:
Cream or soften a fourth of a cup
of butter add one and half cups OF
sugar a cup of milk two and a half
cups of -four two teaspoonsfuls of bak-
ing powder Beat the eggs until dry,
and add last. Bake in three layers.
Bananas and whipped cream make a
delicious filling for this cake To
vary this recipe, add nuts and fruit to
one layer, spices, or cOloring to one,
and in this way one has a change,
with the same foundation.
Take tough beef, rub well with oil
i've oil, add little parsley bay leaf
and a few tablespoonful of vinegar.
Let the meat lie in this over night,
then brown and roast in the kettle, u.s.
ing the oil and vinegar to haste it with
while cooking.
East Indian Meat-Put pound and
a half of round steak and a half pound
of lean fresh pork through the meat.
chopper, add green pepper, an onion
(both chopped. a cup of soft bread
crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Mix
well and make into leaf Put into
baking pan, cover with slices of ba-
con and pour over a can of tomatoes.
Pake an hour and a quarter. Remove
the meat to a hot platter and thicken
the sauce, pour over and serve. This
is good sliced cold.
When we learn as the French and
other nations have learned, to use
meat simply as a flavor, and other
foods in combination for nourishment,
we will not be so exercised about high
prices.
Oatmeal and Hamburg steak-A
cup OF cooked oatmeal added to the
well seasoned hamburg before cooking
will make it go farther in the serving,
without spelling the flavor or cutting
down the food value, Hamburg is al
ways improved by the addition of salt
pork and little onion scraped
Lay little salt herring on toast. and
pour hot seasoned cream over it.
Serve piping hot as a supper dish. No
salt will be needed but a dash of cay
enne will improve the flavor. Heat
the fish and butter the toast.

Without word the sheriff veered

fast fading trail, set out in haste af

the mayor came up from the opposite
direction.

sorrowfully, but I'm afraid you'll get

The man righted the dory hurriedly
