FOR SUNDAY EVENING
APPETlZING HOT DISHES TO
SERVE AT SUPPER.
Good Thing About Them Is That

pol Mother to Stay in Kitchen
All the Afternoon.

At this time of year hot dish a,
the Sunday supper table is always
welcomed, especially if it happens to
be a bit unusual. There are a mum

be easily and quickly prepared. These
are the kind that will appeal to the
mother, who will certainly not wish
to spend the afternoon in the kitchen.
however much she may have the vel
fare of the family at heart.
Some of the dishes can be prepared
beforehand and can be cooked or re-
heated in the time it takes to set the
table. Take, for instance:
Baked Sausages-When preparing
the potatoes for dinner cook an extra
quantity. Mash smoothly and mix In
a little we'll beaten egg. Butter 1ndi.
vidual pans and fill with the potato
brushing over with milk or beaten egg.
Buy the very small sausages and, cut
ting apart boil for five minutes. Join
the ends with a wooden toothpick be-
fore putting into the water. Form
ring of the potato and lay the sausage
upon it, then put into the oven and
bake until the top Is brown. Pin
little dolly around each dish and
serve on a plate garnished with a
sprig Of parsley.
Chicken RollaeThese can be pre-
pared the day before If, when cold
they are wrapped in wet paper to keep
them moist. Supposing there Is any
chicken left over, 1t may be augment
ed by a couple of slices Of cooked ham
bought at the delicatessen. Chop ham
and chicken fine and mix together
with a white sauce, dash of, red pep
per and minced parsley to taste. Roll
out fairly rich pie crust very thin,
cut into squares and lay spoonful OF
the mixture upon each. Form into
rolls or turn over three-corne fash
ion and brush with a we'll beaten egg.
Bake in hot oven until nice and
brown. A few minutes will suffice for
relocating when wanted for the table.
Serve on a folded napkin and garnish
with parsley. Fresh, crisp watercress
is nice with either dish suggested.
Sweetbreads With Mushrooms
Mushrooms are moderate in price just
now, and combined with sweetbreads
make a delicious dish. When the lat
ter comes from the butcher soak in
cold water for two hours then cook
for five minutes in boiling water.
Drop from this into cold again and re-
move the f1bers. Cut into pieces and
fry in butter with about equal quanti-
ties Of mushrooms, or as many as de-
sired. When nicely Drowned blend a
little butter and flour and make into
a white sauce with cup Of thin
cream.

Some persons would not believe that

changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.

could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos

eight months ago. Since then I have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.

BEST WAY TO CLEAN FLOORS
Petroleum Alone or Mixed With Paraf-
fine Oil Will Keep Them in
Perfect Condition.

The less water used on floors the
better. Painted, vanished and oiled
floors may be cleaned with crude Pc
troleum Use a wooden cloth, and rub
the boards to clean them. After this
close the room for a few hours, then
cover an old floor brush with a piece
of wooden cloth and rub the floor
hard. This will polish and remove
all superfuous oil. Occasionally, add
half pint of parafine oil to quart
of petroleum. This will keep the
floors in fine condition. Be sure to
get all the superfuous oil off or 1t
will take up dust and make the floors
dingy.
Painted, vanished and oiled floors
can be wiped with cloth wrung out
of water, but it removes the ulster.
Waxed floors should be wiped with
soft cloth or dust mop. and If any
real soiled places remain, rag dipped
in turpentine will efface them, after
which it will be necessary to rub over
the spot with cloth moistened with
the wax.

Martial Law,

Martial law, which was proclaimed
lately over the greater part of South
Africa, has not been known in Eng
land for considerably over century
and has seldom been employed in the
empire.
Yet its validity in times of domes'
tic trouble and war is recognized by
"a clause from the petition Of rights
inserted in the army act which the
British parliament passes every year
Essentially, martial law means that
the ordinary law is suspended, be
cause it is too cumbrous and slow, in
favor of summary judgment in times
of great stress.
