DRIED BEEF WHEN YOU
ARE IN A HURRY

There are not many families who
are not tired of cream chipped beef
among families where a hearty break
fast is served. Creamed chipped beef
seems to be the standby of the major
ity of cooks. It is delicious when it
is properly cooked but it so often poor
Iy cooked, and too often served, that
ii becomes distasteful.
One way to cream chipped or dried
or frizzled beef successfully is this:
Melt two tabIespoonfuls of butter in
a small saucepan and when it is bub-
bling hot add a tablespoonful of
flour. Let the flour cook and
then slowly add a cupful of rich
milk. Stir and cook this rouX
until it is smooth and creamy
for ten minutes at least. Then add
cupful of dried beef, which has been
shredded and freed from all parti-
cIes of gristle. Season with celery
salt and a little black pepper ana
heat the beef thoroughly in the sauce.
Have ready half a dozen small slices
of thin, crisp, buttered toast, well
drowned. Put the beef in spoonfuls
on the toast and garnish it with crisp
chopped parsley.
This is another way of making
creamed dried beef. Heat "a cupful
and half of milk. Dredge a cup
full of shredded beef with a couple
of tablespoonfuls of flour and add it
to the hot milk. Stir until the milk
thickens, and then add a tablespoon
full of butter and a liberal sprinkling
of pepper.
Creamed beef with a distinctive
flavor is this: Put a Tablespoonful of
butter in a saucepan and add half a
pound of beef, freed from gristle and
fat Cook it for five minutes, stirring
II constantly. Make a cupful OF
of horseradish, drained free of vine
gar, to it. Add a shake of cayenne
pepper and cook for eight minutes.
Serve it on toast, or without.
Dried beef and eggs can be pre-
pared in this way: Remove the
gristIe from dried beef and shred It.
Put some butter in a saucepan, add
the beef, and cook for a couple OF
minutes. Beat some eggs and add
them to the beef, with a little red
pepper. Cook them, scramble them
with a spoon as they cook Serve as
soon as they are done. A tablespoon
full of grated cheese added for each
egg gives an unusual character to
this dish.
For a quick breakfast dish try this:
Select even slices of beef and range
them on a broiler, on one side only
over or under a hot flame. Serve with
parsley or watercress.
Dried beef can be made into very
acceptable sandwiches. 1t should be
fresh and slightly moist. never dry
and hard Spread it between thin
buttered bread and season 1t with a
touch of horseradish or mustard.

TEMPTING OYSTER DISHES.

OF course, there will always be con-
noisseurs who insist that raw oysters
are better in flavor than any others-that
cooking spoils an oyster. There will also
be plenty Of US who will forever be afraid
of oysters because OF the danger of
typhoid fever that turks IN them when
they are fattened in tainted water. But
reassurances have come to US from time
to time from men Of science who say
that oysters In certain localities are quite
safe as an article OF food. And in spite
of the opinions Of connoisseurs and ply
sicians most OF US will probably go on
forever thinking that dish Of cooked
oysters Is one OF the biggest delicacIes Of
the winter months.
Planned oysters form a delicious after
the-theater dish. To prepare them prop
erly, cook them quickly and have every
thing ready before beginning the cooking
The toast should be making while the
oysters are cooking. Cut moderately dry
bread in slices about quarter of an inch
thick and three inches square. Brown
them evenly on both sides and allow one
square for each person. For six persons
drain two dozen oysters, four for each
person. There are two ways of panning
them. One is to put a heaping table
spoonful Of butter on a dripping pan and
to brown the oysters in this in a hot
oven. Inc OIneT Is 10 put Ine DuIIer IN
a chafng dish and brown them over the
alcohol flame or electric plate. When the
oysters are Drowned slip four quickly on
each piece OF toast and moisten the toast
with the liquor in the pan. Serve imme-
diately.
Roasted oysters are a delicacy easy to
prepare II ordinary care Is exercised.
Clean the oyster shells well and place the
oysters in a pan with the deeper, larger
half Of the shell down. Put them into a
hot oven until the shells open. Then slip
them carefully on plates, and remove the
top shells. Be careful not to spill the
juice which has gathered in the lower
she'll
Here is a recipe for making broiled
oysters with a sauce: Strain the oysters
and boil and skim the liquor. Brown a
tablespoonful Of butter in q saucepan.
add a tablespoonful Of flour and brown
again. Then add a cupful OF the oyster
liquor, boil II. season It with salt. and
butter II well. Brown the oysters on the
griddle on both sides. Then drop them
quickly in the hot sauce and serve imme-
diately.

West Virginia Governor for Suffrage

The governor of West Virginia in his
message to the legislature recommended
the ballot for women. The governors
of three States, Tennessee, Rhode Island
and West Virginia, have urged votes for
women in their latest addresses to the
legislatures of their respective States.
Both senate and house in West Virginia
gave a majority vote for the woman suf-
6rage bill last winter, but a two-thirds
vote is necessary.

v. B. TAFT SPEAKS


Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 28.-Form>
er President William Fl. Taft, in his
second lecture tonight on the Bar
bour-Page foundation at the Universfe
ty of Virginia, spoke particularly Of
the presidents power of appointment.
He found many faults with it and
urged it's modification In numerous
ways.
"The effect of the present power Of
appointment upon the presidents
prestige and control in congress-" he
said, sis shown in the gradual impair
ment of his influence with members of
congress as his term lengthens and
the offices that he cares to fill become
fewer in number. This is true of the
most popular of presidents. It is sad
but true"

NO SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT NOW,

peals of DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, pres
ident of the National Suffrage associa-

other advocates of the cause. the
House of Representatives voted to
postpone consideration of the measure
indefinitely. The vote to postpone
action on the bill of Representative
Roberts, of Buncombe. was IS to 80.

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS
(COntributed.)
HELPING SMALL RAILROADS

About the only act of Statewide
significance that has been passed BIZ
the present General Assembly is the
measure providing for repeal of the
"long and short haul clause of the
Justice freight rate law enacted by the
special session OF 1913. This clause
provides that no greater charge shall
be made on a shipment of freight for
a shorter than a longer distance in the
same direction. From the mass G"
testimony submitted at the committee
hearings, this provision of the Justice
Act seems to work a decided hardship
on the short-line railroads of the
State. These small roads appealed to
the General Assembly for relief AMI
appear to have cotton what they want
ed.
The bill to repeal this clause of the
law was reported from the committee
carrying an amendment exempting
roads of 100 miles IN length. AS the
measure finally passed, it simply re-
pea1s the clause of the Justice act,
thereby admitting both the big and
little roads to it's exemption. 70 an
impartial and d~isinterested observer,
il would seem that the Legislature has
taken the right course. The vote in
10th houses on the bill to repeal was
practically unanimous, which shows
the trend of sentiment amongst those
who are-well informed upon the issues
involved.

people at the next general election.
No inconsiderable number want the
proposition submitted while the senti-
ment against amending the constitu-
ton, and also, in opposition to equal
suffrage is so pronounced.
Anyway, the opposition to woman
suffrage in North Carolina has scored
again by about the same majority it
did two years ago, and the men will
continue to dictate public policies for
some time to come in this conservative
old commonwealth. Representative
Roberts led the fight for his bill, which
came from the committee on constitu-
tional amendments with an unfayora-
BILE, and had some strong support in
Representative Brummitt, of Gran
vile. Representative Page, of Moore,
was the principal Spokesman for the
opposition and handled the subject
we'll. Mr.. Page expressed a willing
ness for woman to have whatever she
wants, but was positive in the asser-
ton that the large majority of North
Carolina women did not care for the
ballot. Representatives Benton. Cur
RE, King and Caraman concurerd with
Mr.. Page and the debate waxed warn
until MI. Doughton, of Allegheny put
an end to the discussion by Offering
to postpone further considera
ton of the subject indefinitely. And
there the matter rests.
