THE GAME OF RING TOSS.
BY A NEElY HALL

You will all declare this game to
be jolly fun, once you have played 1t.
and as 1t requires only simple ap-
paratus that Is easily and quickly
made.
There Is q target consisting Of nine
pins. arranged upon the ground in
rows of three pins each. and there
are three rings. Each player in turn
tries to toss the rings over the target
pins. The pins bear numbers, as you
will see by Fig. 1. and these numbers
are used in determining the scores
The pin in the exact center counts rs
points. the four corner pins count Is
points apiece. and the remaining pins
10 points apiece.
Nails or inches long should be
used for the pins. Four-inch nails are
the better length II you can get them
The ground would not hold these pins
firmly enough. II they were driven di
rectly into 1t. 30 you must drive q

SKIN SHOULD REMAIN
MANY COOKS MAKE MISTAKE IN
PREPARING RHUeARs.
To Have the Product It its Best, the
Outer Covering Must Be Retained
when II 10 In Best Con-
dItion for Pies.

Thousands of cooks and housewives
are in the dark az to the proper meth.
cd of preparing and cooking that
much-beloved vegetable rhubarb.
which comes so near being a fruit.
Our mothers usually pulled the
stalks, cut OF the leaves and took a
knife and stripped on the skin in long,
narrow strips before the remaining
portion of the stems was cut into
short pieces for cooking.
The proper way Is to remove the
leaves. and an inch or more of the
stalk next to the leaf. and then thor.
oughly wash and remove all that slip
perry matter that Is on the end next to
the root.
II there are any rusty spots, or
worm holes. those should be cut out,
but all the rest of the skin should be
left on the stalk. and the whole thing
cut into short sections and cooked
with the skin remaining.
The highly colored skin gives the
cooked product a much nicer appear
ance, and better still there is a flavor
derived from the skin that cannot be
secured In any other way.
Physicians say that rhubarb cooked
or baked in pies or buildings is much
more healthful II the skin IL left on
and cooked with the center Of the
stalks.
Another important fact not general
ly known about rhubarb II that It Ia
not spoiled when It willis or withers q
bit in lying about the market or the
kitchen.
The fact 10 when rhubarb IL some
what wilted and looks - II 1t were
rather stale. II IL nearer right for max.
ing pies than when 1t IL Just freshly
pulled. Some experienced cooks will
let rhubarb lie about for two or three
days before they use It.
The reason for this II the plant ID
to a great part water. When pre-
pared for food It IL very Juicy. and
when baked In pies the most Of the
pies burst and allow the surplus Juice
to run out in the pan In which they
are baked. making An unpleasant
muss. and causing the pie to be
ruined. 20 far a. appearance IL con
cerned.
