 With the recall election only month off, interest in municipal politics is be- coming more lively. The opponents of the commission form of government have taken the initiative and have started an active campaign for the abolition of the city commission and re-establishment of the aldermanic form of government. The commissioners have done nothing in their own defense so far, but are expected to make strong fight against any change in the election which has been called for August 21.

Things She Longs to Cook

1hlngS She Longs to COOK
 Please give mN few recipes for
 things I long to Ivok. The first is for
 Welsh rarebit. How should it be cooked over the range? And will you please tell me if you cook it in the same way
 in chafing dish as over the gas? l should more than appreciate good recipe for beef stew and for spaghetti one where cheese is used; then for creamed asparagus on toast. I save and paste into scrapbook every recipe and suggestion for cookery that has ever been printed in your Corner, and words can not express how much good l have re- ceived through out. O. c. B." Welsh rarebit-Half a pound of soft grated cheese. one gill of ale, two eggs, one tablespoon of butter, one teaspoon of lemon juice, and the same of Worcester shire sauce, and half teaspoon of celery salt. Put the butter into broad sauce pan over a flame and when it hisses stir in the cheese; then, still string, add the dry seasoning. Have ready the eggs beaten separately and light. Add three l spoons of the hot mixture to these, rap l idly, then pour the eggs (now warmed l by the cheese) into a saucepan, never l letting the spoon rest. In one minute more add the sauce and lemon juice and put upon rounds of hot, buttered toast or crackers.
 Savory stew of beef-Cut two pounds of | raw lean beef into small strips, almost I like straws, with sharp knife. Put into a saucepan and cover with weak stock or | cold water and cook slowly for two hours | Put into another saucepan a cup of rich stock, one small onion chopped fine, a | little grated nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and | the juice of half a lemon Boil these in- gradients together and mix with the beef adding a little Drowned flour if necessary. I Dish up on hot platter, lay triangles of friend toast about the base, and serve. l Asparagus on toast-Cut the woody part from bunch of asparagus and with | soft piece of twine tie into loose bunch. Have ready boiling enough salted water | to cover the asparagus. The saucepan
 containing this should be large enough
 to allow the asparagus to lie at full length. Boil until tender, but not until the green tips begin to break. Spread
 upon platter crustless slices of buttered | toast drain the asparagus, and lay it
 in neat pile upon the toast. Of course | the string must be removed from the bundle. Just before sending to table, pour ] a white sauce over the asparagus An | excellent plan is to pour this sauce over the green ends of the stalks. leaving the
 white ends uncovered. that the fingers | need not be soied in handling the vege- ! able.
 Creamed asparagus-Reject the lower half of the asparagus and boil the upper
 half until tender Drain and chop. Cook together one tablespoon of butter and two
 of flour until they are blended; then pour l on pint of milk into which a pinch of soda has been dissolved. Stir until the consistency of thick cream; add the minced asparagus, with salt and pepper to taste, Set the mixture aside to cool.
 then beat into it three we'll whipped eggs

wasted upon the little ones and are highly prized by their elders. This is one of the best of the kind-and the kind is good" Canning Vegetables
 "A correspondent asks for directions for canning vegetables from those who have been successful in the work. When say that out of IS quarts I have lost but two, I think you will agree that am rather successful.
 Peas, string beans and lima beans are all canned alike. Prepare as for the table; have jars perfectly clean. 1 do not sterilize, as long boiling after vege- tables are in the jars does that. Fill jars full; add one teaspoon of salt to each quart jar; fill up with cold water to overflowng; run silver knife or fork down the inside of the jars to let the air out; put on the tops. Place Turk ish towel or enough white rags in the wash boiler, on a rack, which should be in the bottom of the boiler, and have enough water in the boiler to reach two thirds up the jars. Put on tightly fitting cover and let it come to a boil. Cook about two hours. Lift out the jars; put
  heated or steriized covers; screw down tightly. Let all come to another half hour boil, then cool in water. When cool enough to handle, tighten caps again.
 "Scald whole tomatoes, put into jars without cutting; add a little salt and water and set jars in the boiler; bring slowly to the boil; cook 10 minutes; lift out the jars, tighten the tops, and set to cool out of the cold air. We eat these tomatoes as salad in the winter. Fit the rings on while the jars are in the boiler. Stewed tomatoes: Cook as for the table, season, but do not thicken; pack in ster- ilized jars with closely fitting tops. All ways tighten caps after the jars are cold. 1 strain some of the tomatoes, putting up the pulp. It is convenient for soups, etc., to have it nicely strained and ready for use at a moments notice. After straining, put through sieve; put back on the fire and allow it to boil again; then turn into sterilized jars.
 Cut corn from the cob, pressing out the milk with silver knife, using the back of it. To seven cups of corn allow one cup of sugar and half cup of salt. Put into clean vessel; bring slowly to the boil. Keep this up for 10 minutes, then pour back into sterilized jars. It takes nine average sized ears of corn for a quart. It can't be told from fresh corn. Add no water the sugar, milk from corn, and salt will be sufficient.
 R. G. C."
 We have devoted much space this week to the important business of canning, in- duced to do this partly by the fact that the season for this branch of culinary enterprise is at hand, but principally in obedience to the earnest solicitations of housemothers who would preserve vege- tables and fruits for winter use Readers will admit that our practical housewives have done their full share in the task, and done it well.
