Paris.-A group of members of the
chamber of deputies representing agri-
cultural interests have sent letter to
Premier Clemenceau expressing objec-

the socialists at the peace conference.
If that should be agreed to, however

men would be released as quickly as

taken over by the navy for the war
already are being turned back to their
owners. Mr.. Daniels said by Febru-

most happily with the various results
A half cupful Of whipped cream ana
an ounce wedge Of cheese may figure
in II most tasty garnish. Heap the
whipped cream on either pumpkin or
apple pie and sprinkle over IL the
grnted cheese. If the pie is served at
the table IL should be covered before
taking In. If cut. each piece may be
decorated. The latter makes more
attractive dish.
Marrons Glaces.-These will be line
to send TO the sailor lad who loves
sweets. Shell some large Italian
chestnuts and blanch them in boiling
water until the inner skin and outer
shell can be easily removed without
breaking the nut. Drop each nut in
warm acidulated water for few min
utes; then simmer them In a sugar
sirup until tender, using one part sugar
10 two parts water. When the nuts
are tender bottle and I'LL with the
thickened sirup, sealing like ordinary
fruit. When wanted for use drop the
nuts into a heavy sirup that cracks In
cold water. Dip the nuts into this
nuts, almonds or pecans may be dipped
in melted chocolate and dried in the
same way.
Rabbit Casserole.-Cut up the rabbit
at the joints and lard the legs and
breast with strips of bacon. Fry in
little fat until well Drowned, season
with salt, pepper, sliced onion and
sprinkle with flour, then brown again.
Add a pint OF stock and cook in the
oven until tender. To many the wild
flavor is Objectionable. This may be
removed by soaking in salt water n
few hours. A bunch of herbs may be
added TO the rabbit while cooking If
high seasoning is desired. Cook In a
| casserole and serve from IL.
A hot chocolate sauce served with
stewed ripe pears is a dish much liked
by chocolate lovers.
1t is unfortunate that many who
might entertain simply hesitate for
fear of criticism; and so they lose the
pleasure of giving and their friends

"LETTERs-FRom-HoME" WEEK.
War Department Commission Wants
Soldiers Kin to Help Maintain
Morale Of Army

Morale Of Army.
New York.-The week of Dec. 15
has been designated by the War De-
partment commission on training
camp activities as time for special
letters to be written by mothers,
fathers, sisters, wives and sweet
hearts of the men now overseas. The
week has been called "Letters-From-
Home" week. and the purpose is to
apply the home touch to broad
gagged military program for maintain
ing the morale OF the men who find
themselves idle after weeks of siren
uous fighting. The war department
hopes, through these letters, to keep
the men contented, straight" and
ambitious to live up to the high ideals
OF American manhood.
A model letter such as the govern
ment wants the mothers and fathers
especially to write has been prepared
by the War Department. This. with
letters from Secretary OF War Baker
and Raymond b. Fosdick, chairman
OF the commission, indorsing the
plan, has been mailed TO newspapers
throughout the country. The letter
particularly asks that the men over
seas direct their attention to whole
some recreation and activities. In
stead of to the unwholesome influ
ences that might result from the en-
forced period of idleness wherever
large bodies OF troops are awaiting
orders to return home.

should be taken in turning them not to
break the skin. Serve them chopped
or sliced and seasoned with olive oil,
cayenne and teaspoonful of sugar.
with salt to taste.
Stuffed Onions.-Prepare as many
onions as there are people TO serve.
Parboil until tender but unbrOken.
Drain and remove the centers and mix
with little cooked ham, fine
ly chopped. Moisten with cream and
the yolk of an egg well beaten; season
with salt. pepper and sweet fat. Place
little fat on top of each. place in a
deep dish and bake, basting with milk
or better, cream. during the baking.
Cook covered for the first few min
utes, then heap n spoonful of buttered
crumbs on top to brown.
When the large fresh mushrooms
may be obtained there Is nothing more
delicious to serve with stuffing or
rorcemeat made of chopped ham and
seasoning. FIJI the caps and bake in
hot oven fifteen minutes.
Braised cabbase.-After cutting a
good-sized cabbage in half let it stand
an hour or more. then boil in boiling
water to cover until tender, adding salt
when nearly done. Drain and remove
the hard center after IL has been cook
ing twenty minutes. Put into sauce
pan one sliced carrot. one turnip.
sliced, one stalk Of celery, few sprigs
of parsley, one sliced onion and n
bunch of any herbs. Lay the cabbage
on top, pour over two cupfuls OF stock
and boil until tender. Drain and serve
on hot dish.
The large curved stalks OF we'll
blcached celery may be filed with sea-
soned cream cheese and served as a
galnish to dish of salted nut meats.
The meats are heaped in the center of
n platter with the celery stalks radiat-
ing around them. Nuts cooked in a
little olive oil and seasoned with salt
and a little cayenne are especially ap-
petizing. Pecans, walnuts and hickory
nuts make n good mixture.
After middle age the great tempta-
ton Is TO overeat. If this war does
nothing more for our morals than tc
awaken a habit of abstinence its effect
will have far-reaching benefit.
