REFUSED TO TAKE ADVICE

The foxes we're new to politics, and

politicians.
"The thing for you to do" declared
these, lis to belong to parties and al
ways vote the straight ticket"
The foxes thought a moment IF
we do So" they objected, ARE we not
in danger of voting, inadvertently, for
yellow dogs now and then? or course,
we don't wish to vote for yellow
dogs"
"Of course not" replied the politi.
clans. There's no danger-none in
the world. II you really and truly be-
long to a party 1t follows that there
are no yellow dogs in that party, and
II there are no yellow dogs in the
party. how are you going to vote for
such, provided you always vote the
straight ticket"
But the foxes were not convinced.
Indeed. after thinking a little more,
they resolved to have nothing to do
with parties.
This fable teaches that foxes are

PROCESS OF STEWING

MAIN CONSIDERATION.
On That Account Il 10 Best to Cse
Gas, When PossibIe-Glazed Earth.

eeptaeie Employed.

Stewing is a method Of food prepare,
ton that approaches the soup-makine
process. 1t is to some extent a pro.
ceeding that occupies middle posi-.
ton between boiling and baking; the
latter is often called roasting. In
stewing, the cooks endeavor should
be to extract from the meat its nutri.
tive juices. and then to employ those
juices, suitably treated, to finish cook.

successful stewing, the most impor.
tant point is the power of regulating
the heat at which the operation ia
conducted. In order to stew success.
fully the heat must be absolutely I'M.
der the cooks control. The up-to-date
cook. therefore, prefers gas for stew.
ing purposes on account of the perfect
control that can be exercised over the
temperature.
For successful stewing, meat should
be divided into small portions for the
easy extraction of the juices. Where
bones exist, these should be broken
into small pieces. and form an under
layer in the stewing vessel. The meat
and bones ought always to be placed
in cold water and the water should
cover everything in the pan or jar.
The lid or cover should be carefully
secured. and the temperature must be
gradually raised to a steady heat.
which must, Of course, be below boil
ing. The extraction of the meat Juices
then proceeds, and when vegetables
are to be added to the stew they are
placed In the vessel at a later stage.
Boiling and stewing are by no means
the same process. The proper tenn.
perature for stewing is about $50 de-
grees Fahr. As almost everybody
knows. the boiling point is 212 Fair.
A glazed earthenware jar with a
tight-ftting cover is most useful for
stewing meat. or for making soups. II
1t has no cover. one should be con-

the temptation to send for the physi-

There is no doubt that the doctor
habit in many families has a great deal
to do with the developing of unfortu-

Many mothers are always calling the
doctor whenever there is the least
sign of disturbance in the children.
The result is that the child grows up
with this disease picture, doctor pic

1t influences its whole life.
The time will come when child
