1t is stated that practically any

Both of these questions can be
answered untruthfully, and often

Mrs. Eugene J. Carrigan of Putin

Not all American women are i'm
possible idealists, weak sentimental
lists. or members of strict neutrality
leagues. These vociferous ladies have
made such noise that we are apt to
overlook that great majority OF quiet
ones, the descendants OF those noble
women who were ever ready to suffer
and offer sacrifices in the cause Of
right and Justice. as they saw 1t, in
the Revolution, In the War of 1919
and In the Civil war.
Some of this brand Of women have
decided 1t is time that they organize
and take some action for the honor
and safety of their country. and so a
society has been formed In New York
ito arouse the women OF America to q
full realization of the necessity for
Immediate preparedness for war"
IF the war Is ever to come,' they
say the mere instinct Of self-preser-
walton directs that women, too, should
be prepared to defend American ideals
Of liberty, peace and honor"
That sort Of sensible and patriotic
talk is very refreshing amid all the
flood Of mushy and foolish cfamor that
we have been hearing from women

HAS WON DESERVED FAVOR
American Cooks Moro and Moro Com
Ing to Recognize the Advantages
OF the Casserole.

Why is this cooking en- casserole, Oh
In earthenware. so popular In France?
Because In no other way Is it possible
to obtain such delicious fiavors.
There are three things to remember
In casserole cooking: First, the food
must be entirely prepared before the
baking Ia begun; second, the oven
should be only moderately hot at first,
then reduced to slow heat: third, the
food should not be allowed to boil and
must be given time enough for long
cooking.
A meat casserole OF any kind needs
at least an hour and q half to cook,
while many meats, fruit and desserts
require from three hours upward. In
the old French ovens covered crooks
containing beans, or apples, or fruits.
for the cooked compete so beloved by
them, we're put in the oven at night
to cook slowly until the next morning.
This was part OF the frugality. the
putting to account every bit of meat,
which is still the habit of all French
housewives.
For the best results, or may say
the most striking results, get cheap
cut Of meat. which is not liable to be
tender. and see what Transformation
will be worked by the casserole cook
ing. Cut the meat in pieces suitable
for serving, and add some thickening
agent which will absorb the excess
moisture, leaving the food just moist
enough to be served attractively.
Rice Is good with game. chicken,
lamb and veal; dried bread crumbs
with pork; macaroni and pearl barley
with beef. Sometimes with young
chicken or tender fish potatoes may
be used. but never when long cook.
