GOOD ITALIAN PASTES
WORTH COPYING BY HoUSEkEEP-
ERS OF AMERICA
At Least One Dish May Well Be
Served at Dinner-Many Methods
of Cooking Macaroni-Tomato
Sauce With Spaghetti.

American housekeepers anxious 10
keep down the market bills have
learned the advantages of serving at
each dinner one dish containing some
of the Italian tastes, which are low In
price, nutritious and appetizing.
The American way of cooking spa
shetti Is to combine it with American
cheese chopped, butter and a little
milk beaten with eggs. The spaghetti
is first cooked until it is soft; then
drained of the water, and the cheese,
butter and eggs already mixed are
beaten lightly into the hot paste. The
mixture Is then baked to golden
brown in the oven. A porcelain lined
baking dish is best, though some pre-
fer the old-fashioned yellow stone
ware.
Macaroni cooked and then eimmered
in a good meat broth until tender also
mixes we'll with grated Gruyere cheese
mixed in the baking dish in layers.
finishing off the top with thick layer
OF the cheese and some grated bread
crumbs and butter.
Another dish is made by adding this
mixture to the already cooked maca-
roni: One onion, a little parsley and
six anchovies chopped up together.
Fry this in the pan with butter for
about six minutes; then add it to the
paste with half glass of good white
wine and an equal amount of fish
broth. Sprinkle with paprika and
grated Parmesan cheese.
Here is a simple dish called tagl1a-
telle. Make good paste with flour
and eggs, roll out thin and cut in
strips half an inch wide; parboil IN
sailed water Cut slice of ham in
squares; mince the same amount OF
carrots and celery and brown them in
a pan with butter. Add strained toma-
toes or tomato paste and cupful OF
broth. Serve on hot dish all to-
gether, the paste seasoned with grated
cheese.
The Italian method of serving spa
ghetti, which is most popular in this
country. is in combination with tomato
sauce The Neapolitan sauce is made
in many ways. A good and simple
recipe calls for quarter of an onion,
half a stalk of celery, a few leaves OF
bay and bunch Of parsley. Cut these
up fine together. Add a cup of olive
oil, a pinch of salt and one Of pepper,
and eight tomatoes cut up without the
skins. Boil this until the sauce is like
a cream; then strain and pour over
the spaghetti. Sprinkle grated cheese
on top.

adding cinnamon. ut:t:aeg, saffron and
herbs of all kinds. In one recipe you
are told to wash half a dozen potatoes;
peel off a strip of the skin; put them
in saucepan and cover with water to
boil. When they are meaIy peel and
mash them, put them in saucepan;
add an ounce of butter and a piece of
fresh bread soaked in milk. Add two
tablespoonfuls of milk, three eggs
beaten to a froth, yolks and whites
separately; salt, pepper and a little
grated nutmeg. Mix we'll and put in
a baking dish. Pour melted butter
over; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
and brown before serving.

WONDERED WHY.
Found the Answer Was Coffee"

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer SO,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee Is the main cause
of the trouble.
Il was always very fond of coffee
and drank it every day. I never had
much flesh and often wondered why l
was always so pale. thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and l was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time was drinking
coffee, didn't think could do without

After awhile I came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me. and
decided to give it UP and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
