Do you like parsnlps? If you don't
why don't you? If they cost as much
as French rtichokes-which have far
less flavor-wouldn't you like them?
Perhaps the reason they have never
appealed to you is because they are so
common that they are fed to the cat

food are based on such reasoning.
OF course, parsnips must be careful.

flavor. To prepare them, wash them
and pare them and steam them until
tender. Then slice them lengthwise
and put them in a baking dish, with
butter and pepper and salt sprinkled
over them. Bake them until brown In
a moderate oven.
Parsnip salad is made of parsnips
that have been steamed until tender,
sliced crosswise, dredged in flour and
fried brown in butter. Chill them
and put them on lettuce leaves and
add a teaspoonful OF chopped ham and
one of hard-boiled egg chopped fine to

parsley over then, and serve with
mayonnaise.
Parsnip fritters are made from

ADD SALAD DISHES TO MENU
People Today Eat Too Much Cooked
Food That Is Frequently Lacking
In Nutrltive Qualities.

It has long been joke how cats
and dogs, when out of sorts, fly to

relief. The animal knows by in.
stinct what only few human beings
are beginning to learn from expe-
rience-name1y, that nature has pro-
vided vegetables of the leaf order.
rich in mineral salts. These salts pos
sess a double power-they not only
combine with the acids and poisons
in the body, rendering them power
less, but they also drive them out
of the system altogether.
It is not too much to say that no
great mental, moral or physical prog
ress can be made without an ample
supply of this vegetable food. Salad
is the one ingredient of our regular
diet which we cannot afford to do
without.
Some people say salad is cold and
indigestible, but cabbage, if eaten raw,
needs only two and half hours for
digestion, as against five hours when
boiled! The boiling of green foods
destroys the original organic combina-
tion of the mineral salts.
The blood of a healthy person
should be alkaline-that is, the op-
posite of acid-and it is the alkaline
salts in vegetables which bring about
this. healthy condition.
Many thousands of men and women
of all ages suffer from anemia, from
having lived almost entirely on cooked
food.
To those long accustomed to high.
ly favored food, salads will at first
seem tasteless, but a. liking for them
comes with use.
Salad should be very carefully
washed in several changes of clean
water. This is essential. During
washing the leaves should be well
picked over and inspected.
Leaves should be, torn, not cut
When done, they can be allowed to
soak for an hour, or overnight, but
not longer in cold water, to which 4
little lemon Juice has been added to
increase the crispness Of the leaves
The Japanese use the petals of many
flowers for salads. Chrysanthemums
stocks, violets, roses, nasturtiums and
dandelions are especially good, as they
possess strong antitoXic powers.

MAKING GOOD COFFEE
CERTAIN RULES THAT WILL
HAVE TO BE OBSERVED.
Buying 1t Green and Roasting It for
(; Oneself Is Always Advisable
Material Never Should Be
Placed In Tin.

Buy your coffee green and roast 1t
yourself. Therein lies the main secret
of the good cup of coffee. Coffee aft
er having been long roasted loses its
aroma and delicacy of flavor. From
ready ground or ready roasted coffee
the best results are impossible.
But if the roasting Is not done prop
erly the brew may be worse than the
worst made from prepared coffee. If
roasted too much the flavor is spoiled
and the beverage injuriously affects
the digestion. To prevent the decom,
position of the acid, gum and resin
in the coffee bean it Is necessary that
the roasting proceed uniformly with
out excess of heat 1t is better to EN-,
ploy closed receptacle, which should
be shaken thoroughly about every ten
minutes to prevent scorching. 1t
should be removed from the oven in
about forty-fve minutes, when the
coffee is reddish brown. An expert
can tell by the odor when the roast
ing is sufficient.
Real Mocha coffee something rare
" seen, by the way-requires less
roasting than any other because Of the
great amount of oil in the bean. In
other coffees the dampness prevails
over the oil and the excess Of mofs'
ture disappears with the roasting
Mocha is roasted enough when 1t has
a cinnamon color; other coffees
should have more of chestnut color.
In no instance should the coffee ap,
proach to blackness.
When properly roasted the coffee
should be emptied on stone or
marble table, taking care to separate
the beans. The sudden contact with
the air and the cold surface arrests
the evaporation of the essential oils
AS soon as the coffee is cooled 1t
should be placed in glass jar and
hermetically sealed. Never should 1t
be placed in tin. 1t should be used
as soon as possible after roasting, for
no matter how carefully kept its
aroma rapidly disappears. The best
plan therefore is to roast only enough
for one day. That insures the really
good cup of coffee.
Every housewife should have cof.
fee mill and grind the coffee Just be-
fore making the brew, grinding only
enough for immediate use. When you
do not use a percolator the best re-
suits are obtained by not grinding too
finely. A tablespoonful of medium
ground coffee to cup Of water and
zone for the pot" is the usual rule for
making good strong coffee.
The percolator has come to the aid
Of the young housewife who was un'
certain of her skill under former
methods.

Black Currant Souffle.

Have two medium sized soufle
dishes. Take two pounds of black cur.

the juice and press through a fine
sieve. Melt one ounce of white leaf
gelatin and add, and then whip in
half a pint of thick cream. Place in
dishes and fill, so that when the pa
per is removed the souffle will be half
an inch beyond the top of the dish
Keep on ice an hour or two before
serving, pipe, or entirely cover the
top with whipped cream.
