m MANY WAYS EXCELLENT FOR
COOKING PURPOSES.
Other Vegetables That Night Be utii-

They Are at Present-some
Suggestions That May Help.

Comparatively few housekeepers
know that green tomatoes are just as
good for cooking az the ripe tomato
and, being quite different in flavor
thus provide a variety and new arti-
Gle of food at little cost.
Cucumbers also may be utilized in
many delightful ways. not generally
known. Green peppers. now in the
market. have qualities which should
be understood and made use of at this
particular time and season. Southern
people are well versed in their virtue
and use. and understand that their
warm, peppery quality is conducive
to health and comfort in warm
weather.
Likewise the tender little green
okra should be eaten frequently and
while the pod is quite young.
Spinach is still in market and is al
ways valuable addition to the die
tary. fresh or canned. but Is apt to
be like all late summer green's. rather
tough in fiber and therefore better

which require it thoroughly chopped

summer growth is coarse and often
rather bitter. and most people discard

ways of serving 1t.

large green tomatoes and peel three

stamp Of their army service in youth

Shading the Window.

Make a frame with light strips OF
wood at the top of the window by
mailing an end of twelve-inch strip
at each side of the casing and fasten a
crosspiece between them at the outer
end. To the ground underneath stake
the end of piece of wire netting and
carry it up to the frame above. Over
this train vines The common lima
bean vine has foliage that is both beau
tiful and dense. 1t is an advantage
not to have the vines directly against

tween allows the breeze to circulate

wife replied:
