then rub them through u sieve. To
one pound of this puree add one and
n half cupfuls of sugar and bring
slowly to the boiling point, stirring
all the time. Continue to stir until
a drop on a cold plate will set. Let
it cool, then add teaspoonful of al
mond extract and drop on waxed pa
per. When quite cold, remove the
paper and stick two of the drops to-
gether. Roll in colored sugar or melt
ed fondant or in chocolate.
Date Balls.-Stone and chop three
cupfuls of dates; add one cupful of
chopped black walnut meats, one tea
spoonful of ginger sirup, and a table
spoonful of preserved ginger; then run
through chopper. Make in balls and
roll in coconut. Put in paper cases.
Preserved Ginger.-A delightful sub
stitute for preserved ginger may be
made using white carrots or the yell
low If the white are not obtainable,
they will taste as good but not look
as much like the real ginger. Boil
the carrots for ten minutes then
scrape off the outside layer and quar-
ter them lengthwise, cut in quarter
inch lengths, discarding the points and
core. Boil until tender, changing the
water several times to remove the car
rot flavor. To one pound of carrots
so prepared add two pounds of sugar,
one quart of water, two ounces of
green ginger root shaved fine and the
grated rind and juice of one lemon.
Boil for fifteen minutes. Repeat for
four successive days until the sirup
Is thick. Dry ginger may be used If
the green is unobtainable, this must
be put into bag fine enough to keep
the grains from escaping. This may
be left as preserved ginger in the sirup
or dried and rolled in sugar as con-
fection.
Rice, potatoes or spaghetti should
not be served in the same meal, as
they are too similar foods. When two
vegetables are served, one should be
green and one like potatoes, beets or
onions.

son and let simmer about an hour un-
til tender. For each pint of liquid
allow a fourth of cupful of flour,
half a teaspoonful of salt, one fourth
of teaspoonful of paprika, all stirred
in cold broth to a smooth paste, then
added to the meat; stir until boiling,
cover and let simmer ten minutes.
Have ready baked or boiled sweet po-
tatoes; press them through a ricer,
salt and butter and little hot milk Is
added, then beat thoroughly over the

serve with venison.

Gus vegetables, adding broth or boiling
water and cooking under cover for two
hours in a slow oven. Serve from the

is an ideal vegetable to serve with
venison or wild duck. Its character

venison lovers.
