giblets or any minced meat, with a
broth or white sauce well seasoned
and added with each layer. Bake until
thoroughly hot and serve as n main
dish or as n substitute for meat. To
matoes, with onion and little chopped
beef and rice, prepared in this way is
another good dish.
Swedish Rice.-Boil a cupful of rice
until tender in salted water. Drain
and dry in the oven. Stir into 1T two
tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, the yolks
of two eggs well beaten, teaspoonful
of onion juice and salt and pepper to
taste Stir over the fire in a dish set
in hot water, using a fork to stir with.
Turn into a round bowl to mold. then
unmold on a platter and heat in the
oven. Serve with drawn butter sauce.
Rice With Eees.-Take a quarter of
a cupful of washed and drained rice,
add tablespoonful of sweet fat and
stir until light yellow over the heat.
Add broth, potato or any other vege-
table water, and cook covered until
the rice is tender, then season well
and stir in two or three fresh eggs;
stir until cooked, then serve at once.
This dish tastes like scrambled eggs,
but very few eggs need be used to
serve five. Milk may take the place
OF the broth in cooking the rice. Skim
milk may be used in many such dishes
to advantage.

mEather of Eishes.n

Probably the most famous of our
fish culturists-by reason Of his long
service and remarkable success-was
Seth Green, familiarly known as the
"Father of Fishes" Bis experiments
began in 1864, and he discovered the
so-called "dry method" of Impregna-
ton so extensively used in later-day
practical trout culture. His early work
was done in the Caledonia creek hatch
cry. The artificial propagation of shad
in the Connecticut river was success
fully attempted by Seth Green in 1867.

Crack the bones, cut up the giblets and
with the meat put all into three quarts
of water with bunch of herbs and a
pinch of allspice. Remove the bones,
thicken the gravy, season well and
serve hot.
Other combinations of meat may be
used with the giblets and a smaller
amount will make good soup for a
family of four.
Puree of vegetabIes.-Cut a turnip,
carrot and a potato in thin slices;
add to them few celery tops, bay
leaf, cupful of tomato and two quarts
of LIQUID in which beef has been
cooked. Simmer gently for one hour;
press through fine sieve; return the
mixture to the heat, add n tablespoon
full of fat rubbed with two tablespoon
fuls of flour, stir until 1t reaches the
! boiling point; add grated onion,
teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful
of pepper. Serve hot with croutons.
This will serve six people at a small
cost If the vegetables have been grown
at home, more If they must be pur-
chased.

sMYRNNs BOULEVARD APPROACHES

From the Smyrna Times.

for the future when he advocated a
wider bridge al Lake Como when the
present structure was built two or

show his stand was right. The du-
Pont Boulevard (the Smyrna-Dover
road section) is to be built this year
How nice II the Causeway at Lake
Como had been widened with walks
and trees 10 give fine approach from
the Boulevard 10 Smyrnas fine bricked
street. The mistake was made in not
needing Mr. Grieve's advice at the
proper time. Now it may become
necessary to widen the two bridges at
Lake Como caUseway to take care Of
Increased trafilc when the Boulevard Is
built. Nothing like giving the ap-
proaches Of the Boulevard through
town the best possible consideration
II will not only be better for traflc but
helps TO give tourists a better immpres- |
sion Of Smyrna. Town Council will do |
well TO consider these approaches and /
especially to provide walks on each |
