tough meats always yield delicious
gravy. The tougher the meat the more
glory to the cook If she makes 1t appe-
t1zing and palatable. The variations
on casserole dishes are only limited by
the supplies In the larder.
A steak may be smothered in onions
In q casserole or with mushrooms.
All meat has the same first treat
ment, seasoning, rolling in -four and
browning in hot fat Have the casse-
role hot, add two cupfuls Of canned
tomato, half an onion, slice of car
rot and turnip, two stalks Of chopped
celery, sprig Of parsley and half a
teaspoOnful Of-mixed spices. The meat
for this Is beef. Pour cupful Of water
in the spider after the meat has
Drowned, add a teaspoonful OF kitchen
bouquet and pour 1t over the meat
and vegetables In the casserole. Cover
tightly and set in hot oven. AS soon
as the meat begins to cook reduce the
heat and let it cook very slowly for
two or three hours for three pounds Of
meat. If you wish to add potatoes to
this dish add them boiled until tender
16 minutes before 1t is to be served.
Casserole veal is delicious, with
green pepper and onion for flavor.
Mutton is also excellent cooked with
peas and little onion. Chicken with
mushrooms, and few ripe olives for
q garnish when serving Is at its best
In this dish. A tough duck, squirrel
or rabbit may be made into most
tasty dish by casserole cooking.
Kidneys, beef hearts, calves hearts,
sweet breads, nver-in fact, any kind
Of meat, fish or fowl can be cooked
acceptably In the casserole.
The coarser cuts Of meat-neck,
chuck and rump with vegetables to
enrich the gravy, all make most delici-
ous eating when cooked en- casserole.

To each quart of products use six
to eight level tablespoonsful of sugar;
sour fruit, such as plums, 10 spoons.
Thirty-two level tablespoonful of
sugar equal one pound; two cups OF
sugar equal one pound.
In making jams use about one-half
pound of sugar to one pound of pro-
duct. For jellies from one-half to
three quarters of cup of sugar will
be required to one cup of juice. The
same proportion obtains for marina
ladies' and preserves.
Our present shortage of sugar
need not interfere with the fruit
saving campaign. Many Ari-
zona housewives are following
the directions of the Department,
of Agriculture in canning fruits with
out sugar.
Have jars, jar covers and rubbers
tested and sterilized
If the cold pack method Is followed
proceed as when sugar is used When
the fruit is packed in the jar fill the
jar with boiling hot water. Continue
the processing as when sugar is used.
If the open kettle method Is fol-
lowed place the fruit in preserving
kettle with enough water to prevent
scorching Simmer gently until the
fruit is tender. Fill jars and seal.
Fruit canned without sugar is ex-
cellent for pie filings, puddings, Ices,
sauces, salads and fruit punches.
In canning fruit juices without su-
gar the following method should be
employed:
Any approved fruit jar or empty bot
ties will serve as containers. Be sure
they are thoroughly cleaned and ster-
ilized before filling. Proceed as In the
cold pack method for preserving
fruits.
Or the juice may be heated to the
boiling point In open kettle and the
containers filled and sealed immedi-
ately.

Gold Mesh Bags
of Baser Metal
PaWnbrOkers Find

New York, July 1-Once in a blue
moon pawnbrokers get stung-com-
pleteIy buncoed with their eyes wide
open. It doesn't occur often, but
when it does occur the results are
painful and the victims become high
ly emotional Yesterday in doz-
en- shops walls were still echoing
from the woe of Friday and Saturday.
One may entitle the story THE Epi-
sode of the Gold Mesh Bags" On
Friday there went tripingly through
the doorway of the first of this string
Of Dozen such shops lady with a
gold mesh bag. She deposited the
object Of vanity upon the counter,
| fixed the pawnbroker with melting
eye and babbled her story. Her bank
was in the country. She had no check
book with her. She did not want to
motor out to her country estate She
needed $50. Of course the bag was
sufficient security for much more
than the sum required.
Uncle went to work with an eye mi
croscope, scales and testing acid and
the bag seemed to be all there and
yard wide. 1t weighed 100 penny
weights. It seemed as honest as q
Judge to the squirting eye, and the
acid applied to the outer rim, the Gus
4 tomary spot selected for testing such
bags, gave the proper reaction.
Habit spurred the banker to prof
-E fer $40 instead of $50, but the lady
Twas excessively firm and stood her
I|ground for the whole amount. This
presently Uncle counted out with low
ing fingers, then the bag went into
the big safe with important vaIuables.
Not ten minutes later about the
same comedy was enacted in a shop
a little further south in Eighth ave-
: rue, except that in the second case
: the bargainer was man, the bag
weighed 80 pennyweights and only
$50 was asked. In a third and
fourth instance $50 and $50 were OBJ
AIRED, and in subsequent cases the
amounts received varied from $40 tc
SIS.
Now it just happened that on Sat.
urday evening, when one of the
Eighth avenue shops was locking VI
l for the week end, a, clerk had a huncf
r that the bag was not all that it
r seemed to be. 1t had hornswogglet
:, Uncle and science, but he had hi,
e doubts. He suggested casually that {
S further acid test might be wortH
while.
v The bare suggestion made thu
d pawnbSoker google his eyes and CAV,
q him weak feeling at the pit of tn,
stomach, but he took the tip offer
ed by his clerk and again applied til,
acid, but to the inside of the rim, no
the outside, this time. Instantly tn
r drop of acid boiled bright green an,
simultaneously the whole world turn
ed black for the pawnbroker. Fran
IS tically he tested the bag from spo

1t was all sham, a delusion, a snare

CAMEL DRIVERS
HAVE HARD LIFE:
TRAVEL AT NIGHT

In China camel drivers are Ishmael-
ties who have ftttle or nothing to do
with their fellows. Through the u
months of the year they live and
sleep in the open and in this life they
acquire brown skins, bulk Of muscle
and sinew and a eaciturniey which
repels advances. Nine months of the
year they are on the road, following
the long, faint trails thad lead to
such places as Urga, Uliassutai, XII
chengtze, Karkul, Shining and Dam
gar.
They never sleep under roofs, but
carry their own tents and bedding,
food and utensils, and camp wherever
there is free grazing. During three
summer months they are out with
their camels, during the camel vaca-
| tion while the beasts are recovering
their hair and the fat under their
humps, which is their reserve of
strength and energy on the winter
journeys. Most Of the travel is done
! at night, for the camel does not relish
fedieng after dark and will lie down
in his tracks after having nibbled an
insufficient meal of poor shrubs.
By travelling at night the animals
have the whole day for their grazing,
and therefore keep themselves in
much better condition. In the Arctic
weather of the MongoI plateau thns
travelling at night is CHASTITY bus
mess for all but those who have been
bred to it, and when one sees at mid
night in a biting gale a camel driver
sitting calmly on his leader, rocking
along through the darkness at the
exasperatingly slow pace of the laden
caravan, one wonders how human
flesh and bone can bear it. The hot
days. under canvas are trying too, and
all the tri1buIations of the road, says
Rodney Gilbert in Asia, go TOD make
hard, quick tempered men d the
camel drivers, feared as they are for
their rough and violent ways.
