RELlSHES FOR SPRING
TEMPTING MENU NEEDED Al
THIS SEASON.
Condiments Liked in the Winter Have
Lost Their Savur and Others
Must Be Provided to Take
Their Places.

Springtime appetites should be as
fresh and unspoiled as is the spring
itself. But too often the spring appe-
tite is dulled and it is only by dint
of constant care the housekeeper or
cook is able to provide a tempting
diet on the spring table.
Winter fare pals at this season.
And the usual winter condiments and
appetizers fail to work successfully.
Mustard pickles, chowchow, cole slaw.
olives-all have lost their winter trick
of whetting the appetite. Celery has
literally lost most of its crispness and
sweetness by spring. New appetizers
and relishes must be relied on to give
point to the daily diet.
Cucumbers are one reliable spring
relish. There is, of course, much OBJ
lection to cucumbers on the ground
of indigestibility. They are usually
ndigestible-that nobody can deny.
But some people do not find them so,
and eat them without fear. So If
they are not taboo on your table,
make use of them. II is a good plan
to slice them thinly and place them
in iced water in the refrigerator for
an hour before using them. Then
dress them with oil and vinegar and
serve them with fish Or dice them
and mix them with diced green pep
per and celery with mayonnaise, in
cups of lettuce leaves as a salad.
Tomatoes, too, can be made to serve
admirably the purpose of whetting
the appetite. A very good appetizer
with which to begin dinner is a round
of firm tomato, half an inch thick on
which is placed pepper, celery or Gu
cumber, mixed with mayonnaise
dressing. Sliced tomatoes, iced in the
refrigerator are another good dinner
accompaniment. They may be served
with fish or with the meat course.
And of course all sorts of tomato
salads are delicious in spring. And a
good sherbet for dinner can be made
of equal parts of strained tomato
juice and meat stock, to which little
softened gelatin has been added,
frozen in an ice cream freezer to
sherbet consistency.
Radishes should always be served
very cold. Clean them and chill them
thoroughly in iced water and then
cut in attractive shapes Make roses,
sometimes, by cutting back the red
skin in points. Again. slash the rad
ishes from the pointed end down
three or four times Slice radishes
and serve with other vegetables on
lettuce leaves for salad
Sweet green peppers are as useful
in warm weather as in cold. Chop
them and mix with an equal amount
of celery, chopped fine, and moisten
with mayonnaise. Serve a spoonful
on lettuce leaf for salad, or serve
a spoonful on a slice of thin, crisp
toast in the form of q canape for an
appetizing beginning to dinner Stuff
a pepper. one end of which has been
removed, with cream cheese and
chopped nuts and slice to serve with
salad

SOME HARD KNOCKS

The injurious action OF coffee on the
hearts of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine

pleasure of bestowing this informa-

A very foolish statement has re-

at is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana

turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 100 acres, which in the case

two Dakotas would practically amount
to confscation."

that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
Of SO per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value Of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications OF
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth Observation-Disclosures.
