Blanehed Vegetables.

Green string beans. onions. full
grown lima beans and other green gar
den vegetables are made more delicate
and palatable for many by blanching
them. to remove the strong or acrid
favor, before cooking them. This is
done by dropping the prepared vege-
tables into saucepan well filed with
boiling water and salted. Immediately
brought back to boiling point and boil
ed continuously from five to twenty
minutes. according to the kind and
condition of the vegetable.
The cover, if used at all, should only
partially cover the saucepan. The
blanched vegetables must not stand in
this water. If not convenient to finish
cooking them at once, drain them
from the hot water. throw INTO cold
water to cool at once; then drain again
and set in cool place covered with a
piece Of cheesecloth until ready to fin.
ish the cooking.

AMERICAN
Shoes Recognized The
World Over

Some one has predicted that the Unit
ed States is soon to become the shoe
shop for the entire world. However
this may be, 1t Is interesting to note
how\quickly American made shoes are
recognized in other countries. An Eng
lishman, for many years resident un.
der the stars and stripes, in company
with his wife and daughter, returned
from visit to his native land. While
congratulating themselves that neither
by their manner nor dress could they
be pointed out as other than English
citizens they were approached by some
street urchins who asked them if they
would give them some American coins
why" replied the man, you don't
take us for Americans, do you?" The
boys laughed and pointing to their
shoes said, "Those are American
Shoes"
1t is claimed that the capacity of
American tanneries to produce leather
has been developed so largely that 4
wider outlet is needed to keep the
plants running full time. This outlet,
1t is said, may be found n supplying
the demand in Europe for shoes, har-
ness, straps, belts and other articles,
and that EXTENSIVE preparations are be-
ing made to meet this.
The advice of an American girl who
has returned from a trip around the
world to one who will take a similar
trip is, BE sure and take enough shoes
to last until You return, for after be-
ing accustomed to wearing those made
in this country you would not find any
others so comfortable"
