OmeLet Making. ;

One of the most difficult dishes for
the average cook to make just right
is plain French omelet.
The commonest causes for failure
are an overheated pan; cooking too
long before serving, and a cold serv-
ing dish.
Omelets should be served directly
they are done. Have the serving dish
warmed and ready before cooking the
omelet
For cooking the omelet select pan
that is perfectly smooth. Scour the
pan with salt until it is glossy. Put
a tablespoon of butter into the pan
and let heat very slowly until butter
is melted. Do not allow butter to
brown.
Milk sometimes toughens when
mixed with egg and cooked in but
ter. If you cook your omelet in pure
leaf lard it is safe to use milk; for
the omelet cooked in butter we rec
ommend warm water.
Four eggs
Four tablespoons warn, water.
A dash ofNsalt and, pepper.
One tablespoon finely chopped parsley.
Manipulation.
Break eggs into a bowl and beat to thor
oughly mix whites and yolks. Twelve Wig
orous beats are better than continued mild
beating Add water and seasoning except
salt.
To Cook.
Draw pan of melted butter over hot fire.
As soon as butter crackles turn In the egg
mixture and dust with one-half teaspoon
Of salt. Tip pan slightly so that egg covers
bottom quickly. With a plant knife lift
up edges Of omelet and let thin portion run

Honey for Cakes and
Cookies.

The following recipes are taken
from the government bulletin on
Honey and Its Uses in the Home"
pamphlet which can be had from
the Department of Agriculture and is
very we'll worth study.
Honey is fuel food, a carbohy-
drate, and is composed Of four parts
sugar to one part water. There are
three kinds % sugar in its compost
ton, cane, grape and fruit; the pre-
ponderance OF grape sugar or dextose
Is what makes the honey granulate
so easily.
When honey is used instead Of
sugar in the making of cakes and
cookies they will keep moist and
fresh much longer, but the cost is a
tiny bit higher. However, in view Of
the fact that the resulting cake keeps
better and also that the flavor is i'm
proved, the difference in expense is
very much overbalanced by the ad-
vantages. The usual cake recipes can
be followed, but remember that when
using honey less liquid is required,
The rules laid down by Farmers
Bulletin No. 653 are; "As honey con-
tains less acid than molasses, it re-
quires less soda. The allowances
range from one-quarter to one-half
teaspoonful for a cup of honey. In
substituting honey for sugar use cup
full for cupful, and for each cupful
of honey use one-fifth of cupful
less Of milk or other liquid for which
the recipe calls
In cakes which are TO be made with
out butter il always is advisable to use
honey, for they will keep fresh for
months and actually improve with old
age. Honey cakes are delicious when
spiced. The most suitable combina-
tions are coriander, cardamon, nut
meg, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

underneath. Continue this until omelet is
set.
To Serve.
Have omelet plate heated; fold over one
half the omelet and turn onto platter. Gar
nish with grape jelly, paisley, peppers or
bacon curs and send at once to the table.
Omelet with Bacon.
Cut sliced bacon into dice, fry delicately
crisp, Pour off most Of the fat, turn in
the egg mixture, let set, fold and serve,
Grated cheese, cooked minced ham or
minced dried beef may be added to a plain
omelet mixture for variety. The cooking
will be the same
With Canned Peas.
Heat a can of peas IN the liquor. Drain,
saving liquor for soup stock, and season
peas with salt and butter. Put two table,
spoons of peas in the center Of the omelet
when It Is set. Fold over hal the omeiet
and serve on hot platter. ~Jur remaining
peas around Omelet and serve Immediately.

Food Talk No. 3.
MINERAL FOODS.

When people in general use the
I term, food value" they mean the
value of certain food calculated in
heat uits, called calories, That is, Sc
much OF this certain food gives Sc
much heat and energy to the body
All fuel foods 1.-THE fats and carbo.
hydrates), and protein give this heat
and energy. However, the body can
not be kept in perfect health from
fuel and bodybuilding foods alone
We need them, but we need other
things also. The need for water, one
OF the five foodstuffs, is rather well
4 understood. The need for mineral
matter (also called "ash") the last Of
the five foodstuffs, is equally import
ant Though we think OF protein as
the typical bodybuilding food, min
eral matter is essential for the build
ing OF the body framework. Thus
the children's disease of ricketts, or
soft bones is caused from lack Of
this important substance.
In addition to the bodybuilding
function, mineral matter aids in the
regulation of the body. The body
fluids, such as the blood, the lymph
the digestive juices, and the gland
secretions, can be kept in proper con-
dition only by the supplying Of min
eral matter in the diet. 1t is a ia
miliar fact that blood must have iron
or it cannot carry oxygen to all parts
of the body. A vital part of the body
regulation is the proper elimination OF
food waste from the, digestive tract
We used to think that "roughage" or
food containing much fiber aided in
this elimination. We still think that
coarse foods, such as the hulls OF
grains, help in this process, but we
know that part OF the effect at least
is due to the mineral matter con-
tanned.
Fortunately for most of US, we in
stinctively supply foods containing
this important. foodstuff; but it is
well to know which foods are es-
pecially rich in it, and which foods
contain which kinds. The general
sources of all mineral matter are
eggs, milk, outer parts of grains, fresh
fruits and vegetables. While the
body requires many kinds Of min.
cral matter, such as sulphur, sodium
chlorine, magnesium, calcium, potas-
Il SUM, iron and phosphorus, certain
kinds : are supplied in nearly all
dietaries without any special thought.
Thus we all use enough table salt
to supply sodium and chlorine, and
sulphur occurs in most protein foods,
OF the other kinds OF ash three are
most important, viz, iron, phosphorus
and calcium. A recent book, Text
book Of Cooking" by Carlotta Greer,
gives the following lists OF foods
rich in the different forms OF ash:

The same author makes these state
ments:
1.-THE most practical and effective
way Of obtaining calcium is to use a
generous supply of milk. Milk, egg
yolk. cheese. whole grains and vege-
tables are the most satisfactory
sources Of phosphorus. The iron
found in eggs, milk and vegetable
| foods is thought to be more COM
pietely assimilated than that found in
meat. Spinach and prunes are valua-
bic sources Of iron"
The particular use OF calcium is to
supply bone building material, and it
also helps the thyroid gland, which is
concerned with growth and general
health. Phosphorus is needed esps-
cially for nerve tissue, though the idea
that certain foods, such as celery, are
good for the nerves." is fallacy.
| Iron is necessary for the making of
blood and in certain body processes.
With these facts in mind, II cannot
be too strongly urged that mineral
matter be supplied in the diet. Peo-
pie are so apt to think OF fruits and
/ vegetables, except potatoes, as luxur-
les on the table when one must count
every penny They are not Injuries,
but real necessities, though the
cheaper fruits and vegetables answer
| the same purpose as the more expen-
sives ones. A salad at dinner is not a

Officer John Ridgway
Arrests Joy Riders

Officer John Ridgway, of the Fair
view force made noteworthy cap
ture couple of nights ago in stop
ping an auto with five passengers, all
the worse from liquor. And Recorder
Schulz meeted out punishment which
should be warning to all drivers
who contemplate driving through the
town in an intoxicated condition.
Four of the five passengers were
sailors from the steamship Ell Paso,
which is moored in Hoboken. The
seamen rented the car from Ernest
Younghaus, of 306 street, Hoboken,
who was driving it. Younghaus was
| fined on two charges, one for speed
ling and the other for being drunk. It
cost him $25 for the former and $40
for the latter. Charles Rothke, of
525 Bloomfield street, Hoboken, was
fined SIS. He sesisted arrest and
was drunk. August Kesten, who gave
his residence as the S. S. Ell Paso,
could not speak English until he was
fined SIS. It cost him added $3.50
for trying to tell the court, in Eng
fish, that he should not be fined
Total for Kesten $3.50. John Becker
and Ludwig Hopfinger were each
fined SIS for being drunk.
The uncertain directions taken by
the car in it's course along Anderson
avenue, lead Officer Ridgway to be-
leive that all was not right, either
with the steering apparatus or the
man who was handling it. He found
| the trouble with the driver.
