THE HoMELY TURNiP.

There is no more delicious, sweet,
Juicy vegetable, if taken fresh from
the field, than the turnip, and it's ten
der crispness is enjoyed eaten from
the hand, as is a carrot. If the vege-
table is we'll masticated they are every
bit as good as a radish in the menu.
Ii the turnip is not tough and full
of fiber, it is most deliciously served
boiled and mashed, with plenty OF
butter for seasoning.
Slices of boiled turnip fried until
brown make a good accompaniment to
sliced cold roast.
English Turnip.-Pell, slice and
cut in dice sufficient turnip, then boil
in salt water, season with butter, pep
per and salt, and serve hot. Any Of
the turnip which is left may be COM
bined with potato and served with
dressing on lettuce.
Turnip Straws.-Cut the turnip on
a vegetable slicer into straws, cook
in sailed water until tender, then
saute in butter until brown. Use as
garnish for roast or turkey.
When MASKING turnips add to the
butter, pepper and salt, tiny pinch
of mustard, and lastly a few table
spoonfuls of cream. The addition Of
mustard must be done with great
care The French people are fond of
turnips prepared this way.
Turnip in White Sauce.-Cut turnip
in cubes or dice and boil until tender,
then serve in a rich white sauce made
of cup of thin cream, a tablespoon
full each of butter and flour. When
the butter is bubbling hot add the
flour, and when that is we'll mixed add
the cream and a half teaspoonful of
salt.
Turnip Frtters.-These are as good
as parsnip fritters and make an agree
able change. Take a small amount of
mashed, seasoned turnip, drop into a
fritter batter until coated, then fry
in deep fat.

State BOttlers' Association Agent aud Deputy Sheriff Demanded Witness
 Fees in Waterbury Court.

Waterbury, Conn.,, April 21.-Emil Mascola, local bottler, was fined $40 and costs in the city court this morn- ing, on the charge of reflling and us- ing registered bottles, owned by other concerns. The arrest was made as a result of investigations of repre- sentatives of the Connecticut State Bottlers' association, and the 240 bot ties found in Mascola's bottling works were owned by J. c. Ayers and Son of Hartford. Thomas Gallagher, agent for the state bottlers was accom- panied in his work in Waterbury yes terday by John c. Ayers of Hartford and Deputy Sheriff David Williams of New Haven. The men said that the State Bottlers association is to make a crusade throughout the state against persons using bottles which are owned by others.
 The extreme penalty for this offense is 50 cents for each bottle confiscated, or thirty days in jail, or both. Al though neither Deputy Sheriff Will Hams nor Agent Gallagher were mo- tified to appear in court, they were present, and insisted upon having wit ness fees. The court declined, as the men were told last night that Mas cola was to plead guilty, and no wit nesses were required.
