REAL EATAbLE MENUS
FOR YOU THIS WEEK
The Judge Says He's Getting Pointers and so We Believe
That Every Woman Who Prepares Meal
Will Reap Like Benefit.

Another week of the menu contest
is past and The Herald is not the only
one who is happy over the progress.
That is evidenced by the increasing
number of women who are participat-
Ing and the continual improvement
IN the menus submitted.
Last week we announced that any
person who lad wLp first prize in the
menu contest would be ineligible for
further competition but even then we
received meaus from two who had
previously won. The Herald doesn't
want to be stingy but to widen the
scope of interest we have maintained
| the rule that no one who has won a
first prize will be eligible again.
This week there will be an even
dLzen prizes. The merchants have
siGnified their desire to contribute
something to the popularity of the
Market Basket page and we can offer
twelve prizes instead of three this
week.
The judge has consented to point
out some of the Inconsistencies of the
menus as laid down by the rules of
The Herald. which will give you many
pointers for this weeks menu In
justice TO Mr.. Whitney we will again
state that the names on the menus
are clipped off before the same go to
IAA1 tbuo uupiiCdIc HuIliUeTS pldC6Q on
them. Therefore If the judge says
something you don't like, remember
he is not saying 1t right at you but for
the general good Of the participants.
Here are his remarks:
The Judges Soliloquy.
Now here is nice little menu,
dandy, but 1t says:
Roast chicken raised on farm.
Butter, homemade.
Cream from home dairy.
Mashed potatoes, home grown.
Seems too bad to pass up but the
rules plainly state Ito be purchased
from the advertisers.
Apple pie and cheese for five people
for 10 cents. Gee, that beats me on
economy.
Butter for potatoes and bread and
picked up a bargain in butter or
spread it awfully thin.
Here's another nice honey menu,
but my stars, mock duck even if made
of pork or round steak can't grade
up with real duck or chicken or tur-
key. Still it's too good to pass up be-
cause of general excellence and vari-
ETY. though the "makings" of the duck
at 81 cents seems mighty cheap.
Home made lemon pie for five peo-
pie for 10 cents. Bring the chef
some Of these home made pies at the
price.
can now hear the unfortunate one
saying. now that is not one bit bet
ter than mine" mo, not as good
and the mean thing has passed me
up" but here.I am with many excel
lent menus differing little in general
excellence. Seems to me the mighty
statisticians of The Herald who pre-
pare the baseball averages and cleo
ton returns might get together and
frame up percentage something like
this:
Variety-so many per cent: eco
nomy, SO many per cent; grade of vi
ands, SO many per cent; total, 100 per
cent How on earth can I compare
a turkey dinner and trimmings with
the plebian pork. Not that it tastes
any better and not as good to those
who like the pork best. but turkey
is generally considered choicer vi
and.
Hi, no! Well. I don't have to look
for good points; they are too numer-
GUS. Thank you.
-Nels 1. Whitney, Judge.
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-11-20

Reddy thrust his sharp face in at the
opening and began to crawl in. Peter
turned and began to wriggle and
squeeze through where the brambles
and vines grew thickest. The thorns
clutched at him and tore his coat.
Little tufts of fur were left on them.
Peter knew that he was tearing his
he shut his mouth tightly and kept
right on. If they hurt him they would
hurt Reddy Fox great deal more,
and he didn't believe that Reddy
would stand it. Already Reddy was
giving little angry yelps at the
scratches he was getting, and The had
not yet reached the really bad places.
Every little yelp Of pain from Reddy
made Peter smile in spite of his own
troubles.
Thinks he'll have a rabbit dinner,
doesn't he? Well. it won't be this
rabbit, I can tell him that" muttered
Peter as he worked his way to the
very middle of the old bramble-tangle.
Then he ventured to stop and look
behind him. Reddy Fox was already
backing out the way he had come in
and he was making a great fuss about
it, too. Peter knew then that he was
safe for just as long as he stayed in
the bramble-tangle, and he meant
that that should be for Just as long
as Reddy Fox and Redtail the Hawk
kept watch outside. And now that his
fright was less, he had more time to
think of other things. and the very
first thing was a path out. He didn't
propose to tear his clothes and scratch
himself any more. He would cut a
path straight from where he was to
the other side of the bramble-tangle.
Probably by the time he had it done
Reddy Fox would have become tired
of watching and gone away. 1t would
take a good while, working every
minute, to do it. He would begin at
once. No time for dreaming now
Peter settled right down to work, real
work.
