number of recipes for meat dishes
made with dumpiings and similar
preparations follow:
Meat Stew With DumpIings.
STEW
Five pounds of cheaper cut of beef.
Four cups potatoes cut into small
pieces.
Two-thirds cup each turnips and
carrots cut into one-half inch cubes.
One-half onion, chopped.
One-quartcr cup of flour.
Salt and pepper.
Cut the meat INTO small pieces. re-
moving the fat: try out the fat and
brown the meat in it, When well
Drowned, cover with boiling water boil
for five minutes and then cook in Il
lower temperature until the meat IS
done. If tender. this will require
about three hours on the stove or five
hours in the fireless cooker. Add car
Tots, turnips, onions. pepper and salt
during the last hour of cooking and
the potatoes fifteen minutes before
serving. Thicker with the flour di-
luted with cold water. Serve with
dumplings. If this dish is made in the
fireless cooker the mixture must be
reheated when the vegetables arc
put in.
Such stew may also be made of
mutton If veal or pork is used the
vegetables may be omitted simply
little onion used. Someti- es for
variety the browning of the meat is
dispensed with. When white meat,
such AS chicken, veal, fresh pork,
is used, the gravy is often made rich
with cream or milk thickened with
flour. The numerous minor additions
which may be introduced give the
great variety of such stews found in
cook books.
DUMPLINGS.
Two cups flour.
Four teaspoonfuls baking powder.
TwO-thir0S cID milk or IiffIa mora
IL needed
One-half teaspoonful salt
Two teaspoonfuls butter
Mix and sift the dry ingredients.
Work in the butter with the tins Of
fingers. add milk gradually, roll out
to a thickness of one-half inch and c1t
with biscuit cutter. In some countries
it Is customary to season the dump
lings themselves with herbs etc, to
stuff them with bread crumbs fried
In butter instead of depending upon
the gravy to season them.
A good way to cook dumplings is
to put them in a buttered steamer
over kettle of hot water They
should cook from twelve to fifteen
minutes. If 1t is necessary to cook
them with the stew, enough liquid
should be removed so that they NAV
be placed upon the meat and yese-
tables
Sometimes the dough is baked and
served as biscuits over which the
stew is poured. II the stew is made
with chicken or veal il Is generate
termed a fricassee

IT'S A POOR RULE.

Strong opposition has developed in
congress to the universal military
service bill. A few members are OPP
posed to universal service from reasons
of preconceived ideals; but only few.
The greater part of the opposition is
due solely to the fact that the mem
bers do not wish to return home and
ask for votes for reelection under this
ima ginary handicap. They are afraid
of the slackers.
These members are putting their po-
litical future in the balance against
the security of their nation and are
making no scruples abrut deciding in
favor of their own political opportuni-
ties. None of them can argue with
reason that the volunteer system will
be a success. 1t has failed in every
case in which the government has re-
lied upon it. The requirements of the
country in the present emergency call
for an armed force greater in number
than any heretofore anticipated as
necessary.
1t is altogether fair. says the Oak
land Tribune, to ask the opponents in
and out of congress of universal SER
vice if they are i'll favor of voluntary
taxation. IF voluntary defense is de-
pendable, then it is also logical for the
government to rely upon voluntary
contributions of money to defray its
expenses. OF course, no legislator
would think of endorsing voluntary
taxation. Yet many are willing to
plunge the nation into bankruptcy of
manhood just for the sake of conserv-
ing a few votes in their constituencies

It's Never Too Late

The duel between iris Speaker and
Ty Cobb presents one bizarre angle
that few have ever considered.
One writer has even gone SO far as
to say that age is beginning to tell on
Ty and that the younger Speaker has
overhauled the veteran at last"
The intimate details are somewhat
different. In place of being young,
Speaker is three years older than Ty,
or nearly SO, and it has therefore been
the older man who overhauled the
younger.
While Cobb is younger than Speak
er. he had served three years under
the Main Tent before iris broke in.
Ty entered ma jor league service at Is.
whereas Iris was % before he donned
the harness of big league service.
When Speaker had passed his thirty
second year and was still averaging %
to 80 points back of his Georgia rival
| each campaign, it was taken for grant
cd that he had missed his chance. EN-
