MOST DELICIOUS OF SOUPS
French Preparations That Are Among
the Best In the Catalogue Of
Cooks Who Know.


French Bouiilie-An acceptable soup
for early warm days is the French
bouillie, made Of thickened milk. Put
in a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of
wheat flour, dessertspoonful of sugar
and teaspoonful of salt. Mix to a
smooth paste and add quart of hot
milk. Cook in a double boiler until
thickened and serve with crisp crou-
tons and dash Of pepper. The hot
milk will be found stimulating, yet
delicate, proving just the soup one re.
quires for spring day.
Potaee q Ia creey-Scrape four
large carrots and cut fine. Add two
potatoes peeled and diced, two onions
and two stalks of celery cut fine and
fry brown in good beef drippings.

Better Than Postage stamps.


Several American firms with unus-
ually heavy mailings use a postage
meter which. instead OF affixing the
usual postage stamps on mail matter,
makes an impression in the upper
right-hand corner. The new postal
meter performs several tasks. such as
sealing, stamping. facing and counting
approximately $50 pieces of mail mat
ter minute. The envelopes, unsealed
and unstamped, are placed in a com
partment Of the machine much in the
same manner as they would be placed
in a box, the mechanism handling the
envelopes automatically from that
point. The stamping mechanism not
only makes an impression on the en-
velopes. but also counts, the numbers
appearing in descending serial on
top of the stamping meter. The meter
is SO made that its mechanism can
only be adjusted by the post office au-
thorities, who set 1t for the number
Of impressions the user has paid for.
When that number of Impressions is
exhausted. the meter automatically
locks.
