scorched Vegetables Made Good

Il get so many useful hints from
others through the medium of your Cor
neT l hope one of my experiences may
help others When boiling any vege-
tables--potatoes, cabbage, carrots-n
they should boil dry and have scorched
little, put the pan at once into larger
pan of cold water and let them stand in
this a few minutes. Then with fork
remove the articles from the pan care
fully. There will be little, if any, taste
of scorch to them r. j. Nj" 81
Having 40 years ago written bodily
that scorched potatoes and burnt bread
are "incurables," l hail your expedient
with honest delight. 1t hurts my frugal
soul to admit that anything in the way
of culinary mshaps is ipeparable. Can
you sum up the measure of your kind
ness by telling of way to make good
scorched milk?

Corn fin ished 1% cent to 2AM4 down, oats off F M2s to < and provisions very ing from unchanged figures to a de- cline of 15c.
 Sharpest breaks in the price of wheat followed the announcement of second vessel from the United States having been destroyed by a submarine This time the market showed little or no power to recover, and the final transactions were at virtually the lowest level of the day.
 Heavy lquidating sales by holders carried corn decidedly down grade.
 Oats displayed sympathy with the action of corn.
