very select club in London.
Mutton Creole Styie.--Melt three
tablespoonfuls of butter in saucepan
and saute in this tablespoonful each
of green pepper and onion chopped
fine; add three tablespoonfuls Of -four
and half teaspoonful of salt; cook
until foaiay, then add cupful OF
brown stock and half cupful Of
strained tomato. Cook three minutes
then set over hot water and add a
cupful of sliced cold roast mutton, cut
in strips, and half cupful of cold
cooked macaroni.
FiIlets of chicken.--This is dainty
dish for an invalid or is plenty in
amount for a small family. Remove
the filets from plump and tender
chicken and separate from the bone
and skin. Detach the small fillets and
cut the larger ones into two length
wise strips the size of the smaller fill
cts. Heat frying pan very hot, but
ter slightly and lay in the fillets, sprin
kle with the juice of a lemon, salt and
pepper; add third Of cupful of
chicken stock and tablespoonful Of
orange juice: cover and cook ten min.
utes. Prepare sauce, using butter

and cupful of chicken stock In which
bit Of ham has added flavor; add a
tablespoonful of mushroom catsup and
a tablespoonful of orange juice. This
dish might not be called a leftover,

frozen and served with a different
sauce or add crushed fruit, or fruit
juice to the cream or chocolate
sauce, making any number of ways Of
varying the frozen dish.

BETTER ROADS IN MICHIGAN
Improvement of Right Kind Making
Profit of 1926 Per Cent in Wayne
County-upkeep Is Less.

Money spent in road Improvement
of the right kind is making profit of
125 per cent year in Wayne county,
Michigan.
The county spent $2.000,O00 on con-
struction and maintenance during the
eight years from 1906 to 1914. inclu-
sive, and in this period the assessed
valuation of property in the county,
outside of the city of Detroit, in
creased from $62, 707, 900 to $114,54S,-
120, or S2.6 per cent.
OF this increase 80 per cent, or $22,-
100000, is credited to road improve
ment, because the assessed valuation
of Detroit increased only AT per cent
The increase in county valuation
above the rate of increase In the city
was eleven times the cost of road
work, or 1000 per cent profit in eight
years on the total investment in inn
proved roads.
More than 125 miles of concrete
road have been put down by the
Wayne county commissioners since the
county system was adopted in 1906
and the roads built with the 100000
bond issue are still in good condition
and give every promise of more than
OUTLYING the bonds.
The commissioners state in their
ninth annual report for last year that
they never have had to take up and

they have been developing this type Of
road, although some of the roads have
been down more than seven years.
Every mile of durable roads laid is
cutting down the cost of upkeep. Last
year the commissioners had As miles
more roadway to care for than the
year before, yet they spent $5,17S less
for maintenance, Notwithstanding they
have supervision over 1,245 miles Of
other types of road, such as macadam
and gravel, outside of Incorporated
cities and villages.
1t is estimated that 80 per cent Of
the traffic in the county is carried on
20 per cent of the road mileage and
that concrete construction should be
continued until there are about $50
miles of such roads.

tables are used they should be fresh
and crisp and usually the salad is bet
ter If mixed just before serving, not
to destroy the crispness as that is
the chief charm of salad.
TIL kind of salad dressing to use de-
ponds upon the combination and upon
the taste of the persons to be served.
The simple French dressing is one that
Is most commonly liked and one which
Is so easily prepared that it appeals
to the busy housewife. One part Of
strong vinegar to three parts oil Is
usually sufficiently acid, then with the
addition of salt and red pepper to
taste, when well beaten and allowed
to chill it is ready to serve.
A touch of garlic or onion Is liked
for flavor in many vegetable salads.
This may be obtained by rubbing cut
Glove of garlic over the inside of the
salad bowl or rubbing piece Of bread
which is placed In the bottom of the
bowl to season the whole dish. This
is called chapon. This bread may
be In one piece or in small cubes and
served with the salad If liked.
When parsley is to be used gather
well washed bunch in the hand and
with sharp knife shred 1t very fine |;
gather the leaves closely with the
fingers, then chop the parsley with the
knife until very fine. Put the finely
chopped herb in cloth and hold I'M
der a stream of water, wiring dry and
use this green powder to dust over
the salad.
Radishes may be cut to look like
tulips. With sharp knife score the
red skin at the root end into five or
six sections extending up the radsh
nearly to the stem, then loosen the
skin and place In cold water when
they will become crisp and the points
will stand out like the petals of a
flower.
Small pickles or gherkins may be
cut in very thin slices lengthwise with
out detaching at one end, then spread
out the slices as fan is spread. Use
as garnish.
Cucumbers are delicious served
sliced with a sour cream dressing.
This is especially well liked by the
Germans.
Endive served in a bowl rubbed
with garlic, sprinkle with chopped
chives and serve with string beans,
with French dressing.
