MADE YOUNG MOTHER WORRY
Something Surely Was Wrong With

Anybody could see with half an eye
that the young mother was worried.
Her efforts to conceal it we're futile.

with baby?"

There is no city in the world where
so much bread is consumed as in
Paris. 1t is estimated that every in
habitant eats one pound a day on the
average. Even in past centuries the
French, especially Parisians, had a
horror of stale bread. And as in those
days people manufactured their own
bread they had curious way OF max
ing 1t palatable. Strange as 1t may
seem, the bread prepared, huge round
or square slabs, was used as a dish
on which the meat was carved and

VALUE OF VEGETABLES IN OUR
DIET.

The green, succulent vegetables
salts they contain and the flavor and
variety they give to the menu. They
contain but little starch and less pro-
tein. However, they add bulk to the
food and are of great value in keeping
up the peristaltic action of the intes-
tines. For this reason alone, II for no
other, they should be served once a
day on our tables the year round.
The object in cooking vegetables is
to soften the fiber and make it more
easily digested.
The cooking of vegetables, the serv-
ing and seasoning, is an. art and a
science which is yet but touched upon
by the average cook.
We must realize the importance OF
vegetable food before we are willing
to put study upon the manner of cook
ing and serving.
1t is we'll to remember that all OF
the odoriferous vegetables are much
more wholesome if cooked in boiling
salted water in an uncovered dish.
When cooked in a tight kettle it not
only spoils the food but makes the
house uninhabitable.
All green vegetables should be
cooked in an uncovered dish, which
insures the keeping of the green
color
Spinach should be cooked without
the addition of any water. After it is
we'll washed there is enough moisture
left on the leaves to cook so succulent
vegetable. AS soon as a green veg
etable loses it's color in cooking, it
loses also its food value.
Thow spinach into hot kettle, toss
ing it up Frequently to keep it from
catching on the kettle; after IS min
utes' cooking, remove it from the fire
and chop fine, season we'll, return to
the saucepan and let stand until ready
to serve. Garnish with hard cooked
eggs, cut in slices.

Educating Porto Rleans.

When the United States took over
the island of Porto Rico fifteen years
ago there was there only one build
ing specially erected for school pur-
poses, the total school enrolment was
put at only $4,000 children and their
attendance was irregular. More than
80 per cent. of the entire population
could neither read nor write. Today
there are nearly 400 public school
buildings in Porto Rico and the school
enrolment is 10000. The percentage

1t was also the custom to include the
sum he wanted for himself in the war
rant issued to some bona fide firm or
person, and he would get what was
coming to himself by cashing the war
rant and giving his personal check for
the amount due the firm or person.
He said that the custom of issuing the
fictitious warrants and OF increasing
the amounts in the genuine warrants
was to get around the law which for
bids an official from receiving money
for supplies or for outside services.
Examiner Godfrey found that so
names of so-called firms and about 25
names of persons had been thus used.

Committee Compromises.
1t was only after the "double-sal-
ary" bill had been made as harmless
as possible that the house, in winding
up it's business of the special ses'
sion, agreed to approve it, This
is the bill that purports to pre-
vent a member of the assembly
from holding another public job, and
is the result Of the legislative investi'
cation instigated by Representative
Diser, Republican, of Mahoning coun'
ty. The house extracted provisions
that would have prevented lawyer
members from taking simultaneous
service with the judicial branch of
the government. Then there was ex-
tracted provision preventing men,
bers from bidding for public con-
tracts. 1t was only when other as
saults attacked the very vitals of the
bill that the administration forces got
scared and passed it to save it from
annihilation.

There is the case, for instance, of the
