Gastronomic Delicacies

Fresh peas are as much gastronomic
delicacy nowadays as they were in the
time of Queen Elizabeth. when they came all
the way from Holland to delight the tickle
lady's palate The garden pea is the one
that is used most although the experienced
cultivator of peas knows that there are
many varieties besides this one. However,
the ordinary sugar pea is the one that con-
Germs us most.
The edible podded pea is we'll known 10
European markets, but is not found in
this country, II is a soft young pea with
half-formed balls inside and with a pod
so tender that 1t may be eaten like we eat
string beans The field pea, on the other
hand. is used, as a rule, for animal fodder
The dried seed is used in the MANUFACTURES
of split peas. The lentil also belongs to
this family, and the various nutritious
dishes that may be made from the
homely lentil are gradually increasing in
the culinary vocabulary of the American
cook.
The nutrltive value OF sugar peas Is
equal to that OF the potato. although al
most every one is accustomed TO think the
potato one of the most nourishing vege-
tables that is eaten. Peas are usually
considered dainty refreshing, but not
necessarily nourishing. In reality, peas and
beans contain an enormous amount OF pro-
tein the great tissuebuilding element of the
body. A little fat and a considerable
amount OF carbohydrates are also part OF
the pea ana bean composition both of which
give energy to the body.
Dried peas and beans are highly nu-
trttious, for they are In themselves the
most delectable part Of the vegetable dried
out by process that takes away all waste
products and representing a pound or more
OF palatable solids. The canned peas, on
the contrary. are largely composed of
liquids, which detraet somewhat from the
value of the peas as nourishment In short
the dried peas and beans are one OF the
most health-giving and nourishing foods
that the housekeeper can get the canned
and fresh variety are, too, but not so much
SO as the former process.

Iced boullon is mighty refreshing on

coming. To quart of the beef bouillon
add a level tablespoonful of white gelatine,
dissolved in a small quantity of the cold
broth. Season TO taste, using salt, pepper,
paprika, a bit of celery salt and onion.
Heat over a slow fire, but do not boil
Strain. Cover and leave standiny by the
ice for five or six hours 1t may be served
in small bowls with a slice of lemon on the
top. or parsley may be used. II Is not
necessary to have the soup like jelly, It
should be just slightly 'jelled." Half
trained tomato juice and half bouillon may
also be used with very good results.

HOPING FOR AN
AGREEABLE PLAN
JUSTMENT OF RAILWAY MAIL
PAY QUESTION:.

ATLANTA, March 23.-Lcading rail-
road officials OF this sec len are still
looking without entire loss of hope to-
ward some action by congress which
will put the much discussed railway
mail pay situation On mere endurable
basis.
The entire subject of readjusting
the compensation Of the roads for car
rying the mails is now in the hands of
congress, and the railroad men express
the earnest hope that until some ade-
qUate steps are taken by the legisla-
tive branch of the government to in
sure that hereafter the payments shall
be upon a fai,' basis for service rem
dered. the executive departments of
the government Will at least refrain
from imposing additional burdens on
the railroads.
The railroad men are counting much
on the expression of Mr.. Wilson in his
letter to Secretary McAdoo on the
opening of the federal reserve banks
when he said:
mo doubt in the light of the new
day, with its new understandings, the
problems of the railroads will be met
and dealt with in spirit of candor
and Justice
