To PREVENT BisCoLoRING.
All starchy vegetables which have
to be covered should have cheese
cloth under the cover, which will abb
sorb the steam and oils which other
wise will fail back and discolor the
vegetables and make them heavy.
Many of our soups have a water
for foundation, which really plays no
part so far as flavor is concerned.
try saving the water in which vege-
tables are boiled, which will give
both flavor and added nutrition to
/ soup. Less than a third of the min
/ eral matter and about the same of
! starchy and proteid substances are
( dissolved ont into the water when
/ cooking vegetables. For instance, the
water in which cabbage, caulifloewr or
beans have been cooked needs only a
little milk, butter and thickenirg to
| furnish a good tasty broth. C-o CT
the reasons why vegetables should al
ways be cooked in boiling water is
that the cooking is begun at once and
as little as possible lost in the water.

Most housekeepers know they can
not keep house without the tomato,

the sweet, red and green peppers,
besides parsley, bay leaves and cher

All these have their places in flaw

ing the real fiavoring in the foods
themselves when cooked. It has
been said that the very finest taste

making soups or sauces. Very
true, but that is almost entirely in
the seasoning or the blending of the

FARMER CHARGED
With FLAX THEFT

Noonap, N. D., March Ed Glas-
soc, a bachelor farmer residing south
west of this city, was arrested by
Sheriff Henderson on a complaint
made by Arne Haugen charging him
with stealing flax from the complains
ants granary. MIR. Haugen alleges
that on going to his granary he saw
that some of the grain was missing
and Immediately began to search for
signs Of the thief. He claims to have
found tracks and followed them and
DOR found where the culprit had
tipped over and found a piece of the
sleigh which had been broken off. He
picked UP the broken piece and again
resumed the tracing n found that
the tracks led up to the Glassoe place.
Upon investigating lie alleges that
he found Glassoe's sleigh was broken
and that the piece he had picked UP
in the road correspondent with the
breakage. He Immediately notified
the sheriff with the above result.
Glassoe had his preliminary hearing
at the county seat, and was bound
over to the district court and placed
under $500 bonds which were imrhedi-
ately furnished and he was released.

MANDAN GIRL IS
A FAMOUS singer
LUELLA cHILSoN-oHRMAN WAS
BORN THERE IN 1s85--ATTAiN-
ED GREAT FAME AS SOPRANO

Mandan, N. D.. March 12.-It seems
too bad that Madame Gibson Ohrman
did not make public before she ap-
peared in her recital here that she
was born and raised to young girlhood
in this city. The operahouse would
have been taxed to accommodate the
audience which would have gathered
to near this now famous vocalist. But
the fact was not discovered until her
here, when it developed
that Luella Chilson was born in the
Inter Ocean hotel, the only daughter
of Conductor and Mrs. Gibson, in
1885. The father had a passenger run
on the Yellowstone division, and was
here about five years, the daughter
being four years old when they left.
The family now resides in Chicago,
where the daughter began her career
as a vocalist, which has now led to
great fame. For several seasons Ma
dame Chilson- Ohrman has been stag
ing her way to fame, both alone and
with great companies. Among the
symphony orchestras with which she
has appeared are the Boston, the Chi
cago, the New York INC the Mime
apolis, four of the best in the world.
This season the popular soprano has
appeared in sixty nine concerts and
still has a number of engagements
ahead of her, including five weeks
with the Minneapolis symphony or
chestra.
