HERE'S AN IDEA
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Lettuce, When It Gets Tough, Is Good
Used as Greens, Ames
Teachers Say.

When lettuce becomes too tough to
serve in the ordinary way, 1t may be
cooked and served as green's. Serve
it with vinegar and sugar like any
other kind of green's. Rather than
let it go to waste, says the home
economics departm ent of Iowa State
college, it may be canned by the
usual vegetable canning method and
kept for winter use
Lettuce souffle is another means OF
using lettuce that is getting tough.
Take "a cup of cooked lettuce, chop
ped fine, and u cup Of thick white
sauce. Beat three egg yolks, add to
the chopped lettuce and fold into the
beaten egg whites. Pour this into a
buttered baking dish and bake slowly
about twenty minutes Two table
spoonfu1s of minced ham may be
added a bit of Worcester sauce or
catsup will serve for fiavoring, If de-
sired.
. White sauce is easily made with 2
tablespoonful of butter, 8 tablespoon
fuls of flour, H cup of scalded milk,
Il teaspoonful of salt and touch Of
cayenne pepper.

The Nauvoo Gate City
Nauvoo, ILL.,, June ID, 1916

It's June in Nauvoo and Illinois
now. Ramblers are running crimson
and pink and flowers are glinting
different coIors on porches from
which brides can trip out into new
life Time on the arm of romance
walks to the measure of many Lohen--
grins. Fair hours are these in Maui
VOC. All this is good to think about.
But even in this scented sweet,
contented June" it wont hurt any to
observe that Nauvoo's Civic league
ladies will hold. their chautauqua
from July % to 80. Nauvoo's base
ball boys are busily getting ready
for the big Fourth of July celebration
in this town. The new building for
Nauvoo's postoffice will be beauty
and will be ready to occupy by
August / and our city may have
new Jail this summer. Almost every
country paper tells some story or
improvements in its vicinity. Some
of these improvements are small,
some of them large; but large or
small, they all count, and in their
aggregate they paint the spirit OF
progress that Is breathing through
Illinois. 1t is in the country press
and country correspondence to the
Keokuk Daily Gate City that you get
the real picture of Illinois-the real
sweetness of the state, its occasional
sadness; 1t is in the country towns
you hear the real tramp OF Illinois
forward march" And now and then
We editor hears the silken stream

Declare British Order
Lessons u. S. Difficulties

Washington, March dissatisfaction
was expressed in Administration circles
to-day at the new measures undertaken
by Great Britain for the tightening of
the blockade around Germany. It was
said that the apparent intention was
TO make the burden fall more lightly on
neutral nations.
Indications for some time. Il was
said, have been that Great Britain and
her allies were abstsining as far as
possible from unnecessarily veXatious
interference with neutral trade. Com
plants from shippers 70 the State De-
partment have been few in recent
months.
As Administration officials see IL, the
controversy with Great Britain is pri-
marily practical question. Taking
broad view, officials say there can be no
doubt OF Great Britain's right 10 pre-
vent trade with Germany, provided she
does not interrupt bona fde commerce
with neutrals. Many Of the protests
against Great Britain, II is said, have
come from shippers who are frankly
irving TO open the door TO trade with
the Central Powers.
The State Department ia attempting
20 make practical adjustments with
Great Britain which will insure unre-
stricted trade with the neutral coun-
tries of Europe. IL does not. however,
give it's backing 10 those who are en-
deavoring to break down the blockade
by sending shipments through neutral
countries to the Central Powers.
