In this way, cabbage takes from
twenty to thirty minutes, when it
should be at once removed from the
water and dressed with whatever
sauce or seasoning desired.
Another point it is preferable to
cook it in an uncovered vessel This
permits the escape Of the sulphur and
other gases which render it coarse.
The old iron pot with it's c!ose-ftting
cover and two-hour boiling is to
blame for the coarseness of cabbage.

is needed to make cabbage delicate

The decoction spoils readily, but may
be preserved for some time by adding
about 70 per cent of alcohol, which
also precipitates a portion of the gum.
The leaves may also be extracted with
diluted alcohol, and this tincture Is
also suitable as a dye.
This dye is entirely harmless. and
may be used in any amount, but must
not be used so freely as to stain the
skin. IT imparts to the hair dark

1t is also used in the form of a
powder which is mixed with water and
applied to the hair in the form of
paste. This is allowed to remain over
night, and Is washed off the next day

rs cabbage e plebeian vegetable?
Is it outside the pale of aspara-
gus, artichokes, and green peas!
Is it fit only for free lunches
and boarding house dinners? The
case against the cabbage seems al
most one by prejudiced housewives
who say that cabbage is hard to di-
rest." that it is strong" or who
think of 1t as a coarse. triangular
brown wedge, which accompanies
"boiled dinner"
But I have a case to make against
the cook and not the cabbage. In
the first place, cabbage is vegetable
containing a great many OF the most
valuable mineral salts and sulphur
especially needed by the body. If 1t
is unwholesome or brownish. coarse
or plebeian, that is the fault OF the
cook. and not the humble cappage.

large chunks of cabbage were dished

CATION in the facts which made the
prisoners dash for liberty possible.
George Brown, alleged burglar, and
X. G. Howe, alleged horse thief, who
cOntriyed with George Adler, alleged
notorious forger and John Voltz, allie
ged horse thief, to overpower the Off
Ger in charge of the Jail and then to
escape, but who were captured, both
said, when asked to make statements
before several witnesses, that Adler
had come to them shortly after Dep
uty John Sullivan had left the cage,
was unlocked.
Both said they were sure that Adler
had not unlocked it and that nobody
had meddled with it after Sullivan's
departure. The remaining four in
mates of that section of the jail VINO

men had planned to escape, all stated
positively that no person had attempt
ed to unlock the door after Sullivan
left, and when the eime for the escape
had come Adler swung the door open,
knowing APPARENTLY, that it had been
left unlocked. Brown and Howe stat
ed that it was their belief that when
the frame door was opened they would
be greeted by Sullivan instead of by
Roberts.

fered for the arrest and delivery to

us to remember the correct way to

fact that at doesn't matter in the

us to the fact, physicians are con-
