COOKING TOUGH MEAT
NO BETTER WAY THAN BRAlsiNoI
HAS BEEN DEVISED.
Especially Should Fowl That lie Not
as Tender as Could Be Wished Be
Prepared In This Way-some
Kidney Dishes.

Braising is an excellent way Of cook
ing rather tough meats, as the long,
slow Cooking softens the meat and yet
all the nourishment is preserved In.
the gravy. A fowl that is tough
should always be cooked in this way.
Take a casserole just large enough to
hold the fowl. Cover the bottom with
slices of fat bacon, add thick slices of
onion, carrots and turnips and put in
the fowl. Cover the dish and let it
cook on the top of the stove for 10
minutes. Then add a pint of hot wa
ter. Place in the oven. Let it sim
mer an hour or longer, according to
the age and size of the fowl. Two
hours will be needed for an old bird
Dish the bird. Put the vegetables
around the dish and pour over it a
gravy made from the stock.
Kidneys which may be bought for
one, two or three cents apiece, never
more, even in the city, make a cheap
and delicious supper, luncheon or
breakfast dish either grilled or stewed.
To stew the kidneys scald, skin and
cut them in halves, take out the small,
hard piece and rub in seasoned -four.
Heat a little dripping in small casse-
role, put in the kidneys and fry them
brown. Take them out and keep warm
on a plate. Chop a small onion, fry
in the casserole until brown, add a
little flour and brown. Add a tea
spoonful of sharp sauce and one of to-
mafn qauna mr. aafnhnn Dnttr In 11OuyIU
as much water as required, stirring
to keep smooth. Return the kidneys
to the pan and simmer for about an
hour. Skim off any scum and flavor
with sherry. Kidneys that are left
over from a supper dish are very good
hashed and served on toast for break
fast. They should be rewarmed with
q brown gravy.
Grilled kidneys may be grilled in
their fat, or they may be scalded,
skinned and split and brushed with
oil. They should be served on toast,
either well seasoned or with q devil
sauce,
Veal and ham pie, a very popular
and inexpensive English dish, is made
as follows:
One pound veal outlet, four ounces
bacon or ham, two hard-boiled eggs,
pastry, seasoned flour and mushrooms.
Make a seasoned flour by mixing
one tablespoonful of -four, one tea
spoonful of salt, one-half t~easpoonful
of pepper; add a little grated rind Of
a lemon and a pinch of cayenne. Cut
the meat into medium pieces, rub in
the flour and put into a deep pie or
baking dish. Peel the mushrooms and
put them in the dish. Pour in enough
water to three-quarters fill the dish
and cover the top of the dish over
with pie crust. Make a hole in the
center of the pastry. Put it into the
oven and bake for an hour.

Every Bit Of Good Ground Titled.
Before the war the Argonne region
had the well cultivated look so typi-
oRlly French. Long lines of fruit trees
bordered the welLtilled fields each side
of the beautifully kept roads, which
are such a constant surprise and de-
light to American ~autoists. In Ar
gonne almost every field has a his
tory, and every acre shows the init
mate association of generations of
thrifty French peasants with their ma
tive soil. Wherever it is possible to
raise a crop. a crop is raised, and
every particle of tillable ground is
utilized.

WWNHE Argonne region is a most
important portion Of the long
line of conflict now raging all
the way from the inundated
territory between Dixmude and
Newport on the North sea, down to
the southeast at Muelhausen and Alt
kirch, neal the Swiss frontier. The
valleys of the Aire extend Longitude
nally through the Argonne district,
which is a fact of the utmost impor-
lance, as the region forms a natural
bulwark for the protection of north.
eastern France.
Many forests clothe the rocky Ar
gonne plateau, which extends along
the borders of Lorraine and Cham
payne, and forms part of the depart
ment of Ardennes. Strictly speaking,
the Argonne region is about sixty-three
miles in length and between nineteen
and twenty miles wide. 1t stretches
in a s~outheasterly direction between
the Aisne and Mouse rivers, forming
the connecting link between the pla-
teau of Haute Marine and Ardennes.
Its average elevation is estimated to
be about 1,15O feet. Among its num-
erous forests the beautiful forest of
Argonne is especially well known. The
region contains many steep and diff
icult defiles which materially in
crease their strategic Importance.
Reims Great Commercial Center.
While Reims is principally noted for
its famous cathedral. 1t Is also one of
the most important cities of France.
1t lies on the Vesle, in the department
of the Marine, and was originally the

lagos seem akin. The relationship OF
one to the other is evident, exactly as
in the great cities of France. Even in
the metropolis of Reims there are
quaint bits of old France that are de-
lightfully reminiscent of medieval
times, and seem a portion of some
vanished village.
Nancy a Fine City.
Across the plateau of the Argonne to
the southwest lies another charming
city, Nancy, the capital of the depart
ment of the Meurthe ct Moselle, 1t is
the seat of a bishop and was the for
mer capital of Lorraine. 1t was once
the residence of the dukes, of whom
Stanislaus Leczynsk, the ex-king of
Poland, was the last. 1t is considered
one of the most picturesque and best
built cities of France, the surrounding
vineyards adding greatly to the beauty
of its situation.
Since Strassburg was taken by Ger
many, Nancy has risen in importance,
and now her academy is of high re-
pute. Nancy's Ecole Forestiere, or
forest school, is the only nursery of
the kind in all Europe. Until a few
years ago the British government sent
pupils regularly to this school Of for
estry, under the charge of an officer.
In the Grande rue is the Palais
Ducal. Its handsome porch dates from
the beginning of the sixteenth century.
The building illustrates the best form
of late Gothic in France. Within the
ducal palace is another museum, the
Musee Lorraine, but the larger part
Of the fine collection was burned by

Baked Spare Ribs.

Anyone that likes spare ribs will
find this an improvement over boiling
them. Put spare ribs in cold water
and let cook for almost an hour. Into
a baking dish put a layer of raw
sliced onions. Lay the spare ribs on
this and finish dish with another layer
of onion and the top layer of pota-
toes. Add enough hot water to half
fill dish and bake one hour, covered
the first half hour. Serve with boiled
cabbage.

the Germans when they invaded Nancy
in 1871.
Other Famous Towns.
Ecouen, beyond the forest of Mont
morency, is noted for its splendid
chateau, which was built in the six
teenth century, and is typical Of the
period. 1t is now utilized by the
French government as a school for
the daughters of the members of the
Legion of Honor of lower rank than
those who are educated ct ct. Denis.
st. Die, between the Vosges noun
tains and Nancy, was wiped out
months ago. 1t was a picturesque
town of about twenty thousand in
habitants. The pride of st. Die was
once the famous old monastery, said
to have been built by st. Deodatus or
Diedonne (God-given) in the sixth
century. 1t in time became a famous
collegiate establishment.
Barbecue lies exactly south Of the
great forest of Argonne. and it is also
south of Verdun, which has already
been the scene Of repeated hostilities
between the intrenched foes. Bar-le-
Due is the ancient capital of the dukes
of Bar, and before the present war
was estimated to have a population
of over twenty thousand. 1t is beauti,
fully situated on the heights of the
Ornain, and is an odd and quaint little
French town. The principal building
is its fourteenth century Church of
st. Pierre.

Stuffed Candy.

Purchase a pound of fresh marsh
mallows and cut them in two with the
scissors. Do not attempt to pull
them apart, for this cannot be done
with success, as they are too sticky;
they should be cut horizontally, as
they look better that way when
stuffed. In some of these put pieces
of preserved ginger, candied orange
peel, walnuts Or pecans. Cherries
make delicious filling and pieces of fig
are also good. After the filling is put
on the bottom portion, press the top
part over it and this will readily ad-
here.

Cut up the CLANS in tiny bits and put
them in the soup. For company you

cream on the top of the individual
cups.

NEW YORK. April % What is
said to bethe highest price ever paid
| for an instrumental piece OF music
has Just been paid by a New ork
publisher for a composition called
SaShadowland.!' d. It was brought out
by John Phillip Sousa's com bined
band of 4 90 in Boston in February
and the reception it received set its
value
The fact that the piece is without
ords-alth though it's to be made into
song later-shows the opportunity
IN store for a musician when he
rings the. bell with the public.
ShadoWland, it is predicted, will
outstrip the sale Of II Didn't Raise
My Boy to Be a Soldier which
reached the high tide OF 100000 cop
les in eight weeks. More than 500
band leaders here asked for copies.
ADeculiar twist In connection with
the sale of the piece Is that the pub
Usher is exploiting it as a concert
piece, while the talking machine and
player piano people claim it is the
best ever" fox trot. Experts are
wondering If the fact thatit happens
to fit both descriptions had any hing
to do with its popularity. Inclden-
tally it presents food for the aspir-
ing young composer. who seeks quick
recognition. ..
