RAGOUT MAKES sAVORY DISH
With Veal, or Any Other Meat, French
Cook Turns Out Connection That
Is Triumph.

A writer in a French newspaper
lauds a ragout of veal Cor other meat F,
declaring it as savory and nourishing
a dish as any one could desire. 1t
is also said to be a most economical
dish for a family, and this ts how
the French cook prepares it:
She uses about two pounds of the
shoulder of veal, which she cooks for
20 minutes or so in small iron pot,
with salt, pepper and butter, until
it Is we'll Drowned. She turns 1t over
from time to time. Once she adds a
small wineglassful of water to prevent
burning. (She is very chary of spoil
ing good things by water dilution, and
in the iron pot there is little dan
ger of burning) She then sprinkles
and stirs in well two teaspoonfuls of
fiour-that is, she sprinkles it over
the meat and turns the meat over and
over; then she adds four large car
rots cut into small dice, four onions
(sliced), several pieces of parsley,
about two cupfuls of peas and glass
full of water. She cooks plateful OF
small, uncooked potatoes, cut in half.
From time to time she stirs 1t, and
the savory steam that arises at each
removal of the lid is promise amply
fulfilled when partaking of it later.
Other meats than veal can be used,
and leftover vegetables of any sore:
but what makes it good is the way
it is done.

ECONOMY IN THE KITCHEN
Proper Utilization of the Leftover
Scraps Is Distinguishing Mark
of Good Cook.

Croquettes of odds and ends are
made of any bits of good food that
happen to be left over from one or
more meals. For example, take bits
of leftover roast or chops of any kind,
cold hard boiled eggs, a little cold po-
tato. Chop well and season, mix in
one raw egg, very little flour and
milk, then make in the form Of GRO
quets and brown in hot fat. They are
really excellent.
Another leftover dish can be made
Of scraps Of hash, cold rice, boiled
oatmeal left from breakfast or any
kind of fresh or salt meat and bread
crumbs may be used. These should
be put together and mixed with milk,
but care must be taken so as not to
have them too dry or too moist to
cook in shape. Serve on square OF
buttered toast with celery.
To use left over roast lamb, take 1t
and cut away all the bone and gristle
and grind through a food chopper or
chop fine in hash bowl, mix with
six sprigs of parsley and two stalks
of celery. Add crumbled soda crack
ers, one tablespoonful of softened but
ter, a little salt and pepper, one
spoonful of minced onion and enough
milk or water to make moist and then
beat in one egg and form into a
steak. Put in buttered pan, place
in moderate oven and roast for rs
minutes. basting with melted butter or
good drippings. Just before the last
five minutes is up spread generous
layer of fine bread crumbs mixed with
egg yolk over the top and sides to
brown, serve on a hot platter and
garnish with sliced lemon or parsley.

HOW TO COMBAT DISEASE
Teaching of Sanitary Ideas Among
Indians Is Problem for Gov
eminent Agents.

DR.. John N. Alley, superintendent OF
the United States sanitarium for lndl-
ans at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says he is
convinced, after a study of the causes
of death among the Nez Perces Indians
for the last ten years, that 80 per cent
of all the deaths are due directly or
indirectly to tuberculosis. In the hun
dred years that have elapsed since the
historic expedition of Lewis and
Clarke to the Northwest, the Nez
Perces tribe has diminished from 81
900 to 1900 The present tuberculosis
death rate is about 40 per thousand llv-
ing or two and one-half times the rate
in the United States as whole. DOC
tor Alley traces the cause of the de-
cimation to the change in the mode OF
living of the Indians from the open air
life of the plains to the sedentary, set
tied life OF the reservation. The lat
ter has brought with it the danger OF
house infection which was automatic
ally eliminated in the earlier days.
Ventilation" says Doctor Alley, is
completely foreign to an Indians ma
ture. 1t is with great difficulty that
you can get them to pay any heed to
this important part Of sanitation.
have known twenty or thirty to gather
in a small room where an advanced
case of tuberculosis has been housed
for months, and to close all the doors
and windows, even plugging up the
keyholes."
In a recent report of the office of In
dian affairs, Commissioner Sells points
out that there are approximately 25,000
Indians in the United States suffering
from tuberculosis, and that the avail
able government facilities for their
care will not exceed 300 beds.

A Century Ado,

The trial of the editors of the Ga
zette Universal, which took place in
Madrid 100 years ago, affords an illus
tration of the severity with which the
freedom of the press was restrained
in practically all of the continental
countries in those days. Ferdinand
VII, who but recently had been re.
stored to the Spanish throne as one
of the consequences of the overthrow
of Napoleon, had become involved in
serious controversies with the cortes
the law-making body of the land, be-
cause Of the latter's liberal views. A
revolution appeared to be imminent
The Gazette Universal printed state
ment to the effect that the officers OF
one of the Spanish armies had de
clared their determination to support
the constitution and the cortes. Fol
thus daring to take sides against the
throne the editors of the newspaper
were condemned by order of the king
to labor six years in the galleys, on
the coast of Africa.

Rhubarb Compete Always a Favorite
With Our Mothers and Grandmoth-
ers-EngIish Rhubarb Pudding

Bv Ida AMES WILLIS.)

By Ida AMES wILLIs)
In response to several recent In
quiries for recipes for rhubarb and
gooseberry dishes, such as mother or
grandmother used to make the fol-
lowing list has been compiled:
Rhubarb Compote-This is Aunt
Betty Martins recipe: Make a rich
strip by adding sugar to the water In
which long strips of orange peel have
been boiling until tender, allowing
two oranges to five pounds of rhu-
barb. Drop into the hot strip a
single layer of tender rhubarb cut In
three-inch lengths, and cook gently
until clear. Remove with skinner
and add another layer. Use tender
red stalks that do not require peeling,
if you grow your own plants.
Baked Rhubarb. Aunt Betty's
grandniece sends this old-time recipe:
Wash and peel the stalks and cut In
inch pieces, place in a covered pit
kin or bean pot, sprinkle each layer
well with white sugar, allowing at
least cupful to quart of rhubarb.
Bake in moderately hot oven about
an hour and a half. In olden times
this was placed. with the baking, in
the Dutch oven.

together. Then mix with just enough
water to make dough. Do not ham
die much. Roll into sheet, line

reserving enough to cover the top.
Wash, wipe and pare off the outside
skin from six stalks of rhubarb and
cut into small pieces. Fill the basin
with the suet, strewing a cupful of
moist sugar through it. Cover with
the crust, pinching the edges togeth-
er, tie up in a cloth, well Toured
inside, put into deep saucepan and
boil for two and a half hours con-
tinuously, or place in steamer and
steam for two hours, first cutting a
hole in the middle of the top crust to
allow the steam to escape. When
done, turn from the basin, if you wish,
and serve with sugar or hard sauce
as you prefer.
Apple and Pie Plant Pie.-This is a
recipe from Missouri: Use equal
quantities of tart apples and pie plant,
or garden rhubarks and good pie
paste. Peel and slice the fruit and
fill an earthen dish heaping. cover
ing thickly with sugar, letting it slit
through the fruit Wet edges of dish,
roll the pastry about quarter OF an
inch thick and cover the pie with 1t,
being careful not to press the edges
of the paste. Cut two or three lit
tie Sits in the pastry and bake for
three-quarters of an hour in a mod
erately hot oven, or until the fruit
is quite done. Sift the powdered
sugar over the top of the pie and
serve hot as a pudding. or cold.
Rhubarb Lemonade. - When you
have rhubarb juice left over from
stewed fruit you will find it nice

orange juice it may be frozen and
served as a refreshing and cooling

idle interest in creasing the lace ends
with her fingers.
"Oh, this is what 1 was going to
tell you! Theophilus came out of the
dark room the other evening just as
dinner was set. I says to him:
'Theophilus, what are you standing up

To Kill Dandelion Plants

The best way to kill individual
dandelion plants is to cut off their
tops and put pinch of salt (about
thimblefuD on the surface of each ex-
posed root. AS salt if generally ap-
piled ruins soil, the salt should be
used sparingly and applied only to
the root-tops of the dandelion. The
United States department of agricul-
ture has for some time been testing
various poisons to discover the most
efficient means of Graduating this
troublesome weed from lawns, but,
although others have been found sat
isfactory, the common salt is best for
general use, as there is no danger &C.

Era of Submarines

The day is approaching when sea-
going submarines of high surface
speed will accompany the main fleet
on the high seas. Large vessels OF
this type, of Fl knots speed, have been
designed for the United States navy.
Great Britain is building, in the Maui
titus, the largest submarine in exist
ence, which is intended to be as sea-
worthy while on the surface as the
latest type of destroyer. Its surface
speed will be not less than 81 knots,
and it will have submerged speed of
from Is to is knots; it will carry six
torpedo tubes, and the surface dis
placement will be about one thousand
