cooking the beef so as to turn 1t out
in the most acceptable. form as the
well known and popular extract. The
company is organized with q system
of help to the employees, for improv-
ing their physical, material and NOR
al welfare. It maintains an almost
model city around its factory, and
has a. reputation for enterprise and
fair dealing which gives 1t an envia-
Bile place in the business world.
OF more interest to the people Of
the United States, however. Is the
fact that Uruguay has upwards Of
8, 100000 head of cattle and 20 ,Q00,-
600 sheep on its fertile plains, and
that 1t will very soon be taken into
serious consideration as a source Of
meat supply for the great republic
OF the north. During the first four
months of 1914 the United States i'm
ported meat to the value OF 81, $780,
1852 from Uruguay. II the months of
March and April may be taken as a
criterion the annual importation will
amount to about $5,000.0 and the
trade is as yet in its first stages. With
the rise in price OF refrigerated beef
Uruguay can be depended upon as
being an important factor In the,
markets OF the world, and instead OF
converting its fine cattle into terked
beef new refrigerating plants will be
sending chilled or frozen quarters
to New York by ship-load. The de-
mand exists now, and its territory de-
voted to pasture and grazing, the
sturdy little country ought to cut
some considerable figure.

City Council and Traction Com
pany Fail to Come to Terms
as to Grants on Bridge.

The city council and traction com
pAny have not yet come to an agree
tnent as to what grants, II any, either
will give the other in reference to the
Sixth street bridge. If the bridge Is
built as planned now the trolley
tracks will have to be lowered nearly
three feet in order for trolley-cars to
pass under the bridge. The traction
company states that that will cost
about $4,000, which the company is
willing to do provided the city erect
and maintain two poles at the bridge
for a high tension wire. The company
offers also to pave It's proportion Of
the new street, when it gets ready, II
ever, to use the bridge. Some Of the
councilmen take the position that the
company is not rendering enough and
that 1t should pay considerable sum
in addition for the use of the bridge.
A tentative contract containing the
company's proposition as stated was

TWO VARIETIES OF PURGE
May Accompany Meat or Form the
Foundation OF Most Sub -
stantlal Soup.

A PURGE may be either an accom-
paniment to meat or form the fonnda-
ton of a substantial soup. Whatever
vegetable is turned into a PURGE must
first be we'll boiled. then passed
through sieve-a work demanding
patience, 1t is true. The PURGE Will
then have little butter and season.
ing added to 1t. cream or the yolks
OF eggs, or some gravy sauce, accord
ing to what meat 1t accompanies.
A PURGE of chestnuts accompanies
veal or poultry and requires the adj
dition of little thick cream. A PURGE
OF white haricot beans accompanies
roast mutton.
A PURGE of sorrel or spinach, or
both combined, is really incest when
served without meat and placed In In
diYidual cocottes or In shells OF fried
bread. After passing the spinach, etc,
through the sieve 1t is beaten up with
a little butter and cream and literally
seasoned. II should not be boiled
more than just enough to cook it ten
der, and then 1t will keep its color
and flavor.
Cucumbers, marrows. turnips, arti-
chokes and pumpkins all make deli
cious purees, sweet OF savory. Anoth-
er delicious PURGE OF small white
onions and new potatoes makes a
dainty dish, II sufficient cream is add
ed, and the mixture is put into small
china dishes and Drowned on top.
The PURGE destined for serving
alone or as an accompaniment to
meat must be kept thick, yet smooth;
the PURGE that forms the foundation
of soup Is heightened out to make
sufficient quantity by adding to 1t
meat or vegetable stock, and milk or
cream, or milk or eggs, etc. The eggs
and cream should not be put IN until
after the PURGE is cooked and taken
from the fire.
