A VEGETABLE ROAST,

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: This is a dish that may please vege- tarians and others:
 Vegetable Roast: A rather unusual dish for the winter may be made by canning a mixture of vegetables. Pre- pare corn, lima beans. tomatoes. string beans. olra. squash and egg plant as you would for canning sepa- rately. Mix these in varying propor- tions, letting the corn and lima beans predominate. Add two or three me dium sized onions to each quart of this mixture and run all through a food chopper in order to mix it thor oughly. Pack into jars and steiIize. In preparing for the table mix with an equal volume of bread crumbs, a piece of butter the size of 2 walnut, and one egg; season to taste with pepper and salt. and bake in a round baking dish until brown. Cut into slices as you would cake and serve hot with a drawn butter sauce Corn. okra and tomatoes mixed in equal proportions, may be canned in this way as soup stock.

A Wild Foods Reminder.

Don't forget in the lean days, the wild fruits and the many things which Nature spreads so lavishly on all sides for those who will take the trouble to pick or gather.
 Consider the wild berries. There are the strawberries that Walton loved, the raspberry. blackberry, blueberry, buffaloberry, jewberry, wintergreen- berry, wild cranberry, and I do not know how many wild fruits which grow along the fences of old fields and all the way back to the shores of the wild, remote ponds of the deep wilderness.
 Countless tons of wild fruits go to waste in back pastures, especially blackberries in old logging choppines, which the city owners of automobiles coud easily find by inquiry anywhere from Maine to far down into the southern states. Consider the ease with which ten or twenty quarts of wild berries can be picked by a wem- an and her family a picnic day berries that otherwise would go to waste. There are even wild orchards of apples, peaches and other fruit of the kind Thoreau loved, which the drivers of cars unafraid of country roads could easily find in sight of the haze over great cities.
 Then, too, there are countless quin- tals of nuts which commonly go to feed squirrels or to grow useless num- bers of seeding trees. The old famil- far butternut hides along streams and

A PRETTY CHRISTMAS GIFT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have read your interesting letters each week and the accounts of enjoyable times you have spent at the picuics. What fine thing The Corner is. and how it keeps us all looking forward to the Saturday Bulletin!
 This ideal Veranda weather is a fine time to make Christmas gifts for our friends.
 A neat and simple gift for our housekeeper friends is made by buy ing linen towels. plain hemstitched, embroider the friends initial on one end and crochet a simple edge in any color silkateen. Chain the width of towel ch , and join in second st. of oh. oh Q join in 4th st, continue across twice. then make a scallop by crocheting 5 double crochet in each small square formed. This makes a neat and simple lace.
 How many of the Sisters are plan ming to take work to the Norwich fair? We should all try and do our bit to make the fair interesting.

 Bran Bread: One fourth cup of strained honey. two tablespoons of melted butter. one teaspoon salt, one and one-ha1f teaspoons soda dissolved in two cups sour milk, one-fourth cup not water. two cups bran and two cups flour.

THE EVILS OF COFFEE DRINKING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters and Friends: I want to tell yoE of some of the evils of coffee drinking. According to carefully and trustworthy medical reports, coffee and tea poisoning are responsible for a large proportion of cases of nervousness, dizzlness and palpitatjon of the heart. There is also a loss of appetite, indigestion, consti- patton and all the train of miseries that those unhealthy conditions bring in their wake
 I have in mind a friend who told me it would be easier for her tc go with out solid food for A hours than her two cups of strong coffee for her breakfast. She would feel fine for two or three hours but as soon as the eff fects passed off she would be nervous and miserable.
 much coffee, but 1t was no use, she continued to drink it as long as she lived. This is simply one case in thou sands.
 There is no doubt there are hun- dreds of people in the country suffer ing the same as my friend did who if they would cease drinking so much strong coffee would find a quick return to health. Of course, there are some who can use 1t without any bad effect, but they may not realiza how it con- sumes tLe nerve force Of the body
 I have not used tea Or coffee for several years. A cup of hot water at breal<fas st is all care for and I do not drink with my food.
 That this letter may be a warning to some of the heavy coffee drinkers is the wish of
Norwich bulletin., 1917-08-25

Dear Social Corner Writers; It seems IS if every newspaper now contains so much about the extrava- sance Of the women of our beloved land that one unacquainted with the situation and getting their knowledge from the items printed in the papers of the horrible wastefulness in the kitchens Of our country would think that the housekeepers all over the land had lost all idea of the value of money. or of food.
 There are wasteful housekeepers, no doubt I know there are. but to carry the idea that all the waste lies to careless housekeepefs' manage ment I deny. How is it about the money spent for cigars and other ways of smoking.
 Many times while waiting for a car on a crowded sidewalk the wo men are treated to a baptism of smoke right in their faces. and many q man will keep on smoking until he gets to the door of the car. then turn around and blow a volume of enough smoke into the face of the one fol- lowing, If woman, to almost throw her off from the steps.
 Then they enter the car with their clothing and breath so scented with the smoke that many sensitive threats suffer.
 Why should they not try to save what amounts to more than little mites of food left on the plates which is being written about and causes dis comforts to so many besides them selves.
 The sauce that is good for the goose should be good for the gander.
 AUNT MARY.
