not only meat and vegetables, but rice
or honiny.
How to Cook the Stews
All kinds Of stews are cooked in
just about the same way. Here are
directions which will serve for MAX
ing almost any kind.
Cut the meat in small pieces and
brown with the onion in the fat cut
frem the meat Add the salt and pep
per, seasoning vegetables (onion, cell
cry tops, eac.), 2 quarts of water, and
the rice or other cereal, if it is to be
used. Cook for an hour, then add the
vegetables except potatoes. Cook the
stew for half an hour, ado the pota-
toes cut in quarters, cook for another
half an hour, and serve.
The freless cooker may well be
used, the meat and the vegetables be-
ing put In at the same time.
Left-overs or canned vegetables
need only be heated through. Add
them Is minutes before serving.
Dried peas or beans should be soak
ed over night and cooked for 3 hours
before adding to the stew; or, better,
cook them over night in a freless
cooker.
Meat Pies
Another good way to use little
meat. Have you ever used rice, corn
meal mush, or hominy for a crust?
This is less work than pastry crust
and saves wheat
cups cooked corn meal, rice or
h0miny, onion, cups tomato, 1s
teaspoon pepper, tablespoon fat,
pound raw meat or leftover meat cut
up small, u teaspoon salt.
Melt the fat, add the sliced onion,
ana, if raw meat is used, add it and
stir until the red color disappears.
Add the tomato and seasoning. If
cooked meat is used, add it with the
tomato and seasoning, after the onion
is Drowned, and heat through. Grease
baking dish, put IN a layer of the
cereal, add the meat and gravy, and
cover with the cereal dotted with fat.
Bake for half an hour.

The Germans on the Russian front
are so anxious to put over their peace

the idea of deluding the Russians into
the belief that their propaganda urging
the German soldiers to join in a world

success.
