WORD FOR THE ONION
VEGETABLE SHOULD HOLD HIGH
PLACE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Without Doubt, u 70 the Best OF All
Flavorine Agents = Should b
Soaked In Cold Water Before
Being Served Raw.

Onions. cabbages, t6fnips, carrots
what housekeeper does not tire Of the
endless monotony of the displays of
these vegetables In the winter shops!
OF course, nowadays almost all of US
can afford dollhouse vegetables In the
winter. So cheap they are that they
are no longer a treat. Nevertheless.
these old winter stand-bys are still
stand-bys fos US, and the more we
know about cooking them temptingly
the better.
Onions have more possibilities, per-
haps, than any of the others. for
onions are one of the best flavoring
agents. And the number of times q
week onions can be successfully used
depends almost wholly on the ingenu-
fly of the cook.
For flavoring salads. either rub the
dish in which the salad IL mixed with
half an onion or else place tiny piece
of onion under little piece of bread.
In this way the flavor of the onion per-
meates the whole dish and yet the
salad does not come into direct con-
tact with 1t.
Onion Juice or grated onion can be
used in flavoring soups and stews
when a strong flavor of onion is not
desired. And II only q slight flavor is
liked. parboil the onion before adding
1t to the stew or soup.
When raw onions are served soak
them beforehand for an hour in cold
water. This moderates their flavor
and really improves them immensely.
The sharp taste is lacking and only
the best of the onion flavor remains.
Many persons who do not like raw
onions do like them cooked. and a.
most nobody finds cooked onions in
digestible-raw ones cannot always be
digested. Moreover. cooked onions
contain desirable food properties and
are an important item in the winter
diet.
One delicious cooked onion dish n
prepared from onions boiled tender
and put in a buttered baking dish.
with grated cheese over. under and
between them. A little milk is added
and the dish is baked until the cheese
Is melted.
Another good onion dish Is made
from boiled onions. placed in a but
tered baking dish. covered with cream
sauce and sprinkled with grated
cheese and bread crumbs. This should
be Drowned in the oven.
Plain boiled onions served with
melted butter and pepper and salt are
good. They should be cooked tender
and served very hot.
Onion soup. too. IN good unless one
really dislikes the onion flavor. On
ions are boiled to pieces In water and

thickened. It IL served very hot with

Bake Ham or sausaee.

Who has ever fried ham or sausage
without becoming annoyed at the spat-
tering of grease and smoke which filled

preparing the ham or sausage for Try

It is doubtful II there IL any other

Generally. the best way to determine

damp as to hold between the fingers.

ton to this rule, and In fact, almost

They want to be started indoors in

to have the bed on the north side Of

EASY TO CARE FOR PALMS

Seeding date palms get their char
acter leaves the second year. The
plant develops slowly. but is easily
cared for. and In time makes q, fine
plant.
A three-year-old date palm was.
through an oversight. left out for a
week during the most severe weather
last winter and when discovered the
soil in the pot was frozen solid But
the plant made no complaint and went
right on growing when taken indoors
and thawed out.
Do not let your palms stand in the
hot sunshine. with the sides of the pot
exposed to the suns rays. The soil
will be apt to bake and injure the
roots. Give It a good light. but II does
not need sunshine.
The pot containing the palm should
be set inside Of one several sizes
larger. or In . jardiniere. and the
space between the two vessels should
be packed with moss or similar ma
terial. and this may be kept wet
though water should not stand about
the roots Of the plants.
Some Of the moss should be laid on
the surface Of the soil about the stem
Of the palm.

HE'S A TYPICAL AMERICAN

Eighteen or twenty years ago he
was identified with what would be
called country newspaper in his
home town at Massilion. o. The
country newspapers in Ohio as a rule
are metropolitan in tLeir spirit and
are good training for other places.
Massillon is near Canton. William
Mckinley lived at Canton. During the
presidential campaign of 1896 Robert
P. Skinner looked after the news for
several papers in New York and else
where. After the election he was
one of the band Of newspaper men
who. as the phrase then went. helped
