AURlNG the hot summer months
there is nothing like having
piece Of cooked meat or fish in
the house. Apart from the convenience
of having the basis for either cold
delcacy or savory made dish on hand.
1t has an economical value.
10 illustrate this point, five pound
leg OF yearling lamb and two pound
piece Of salmon are purchased for the
coming week; both being used in vari-
ETY. of ways that may be Suggestive The
lamb is served roasted for Wednesdays
dinner, relocated in tasty sauce for
Thursday. With one day intervening
$50 that the family will not tire of it,,
the last Of the meat is served On Satur-
cay and the bone is the basis for the
Scotch broth on Sunday. Even with
iamD selling at 38 cents a pound the
JOINT used in this way is an economical
purchase
Serve the salmon boiled with an egg
sauce for Friday and divide the remain
ger INTO two portions, one little larger
IMAM the other. Reserve the largest por-
ton for the fish souff1e for Saturday
the boiling point. This will keep per
itectly for the salad on Sunday, if placed
IN china or earthenware bowl and SET
IN the icebox. Many housewives in
pickling fish merely heat the vinegar
and pour it over but to be on the safe
SIDE it is best to heat the fish itself,
taking care, however, that it does not
COOK too long, which would tend to
soften it.
The cold bluefish for Wednesdays
luncheon is another good warm weather
oish. Flake in small pieces, marinate
with French dressing and serve in small
rameklns mixed with cubes of chilled
cucumber jelly.

"HAT the average we'll conducted
cookedfood shop does a thriving
business during the hot summer
months is a well-known fact; for it is
.asy to purchase little of this or lit
lie of that and so combine the market
mo and the culinary labor in one oper-
alton.
Doubtless this is one method of eff
c;encv, but with cooked ham selling at
S5 cents pound and corned beef at
40 cents the careful housewife should
stop and consider if she is not paying
tho much in proportion for the prepara-
ton of this food.
This in no way implies that the
cooked-food shop is not very useful in
stitution for an emergency. Under GER
tain conditions one should be more than
willing to pay for the special service and
convenience afforded, but to patronize
them frequently is hard on the Thrift

Follow Orders
Like a Soldier

If your medicine bottle bears a "Shake-
Well Before Taking" label be sure to
obey the mandate. 1t applies to the con-
tents of the bottle and not to the pa
tient. 1t is only necessary to shake
medicine before taking when it contains
an insoluble ingredient which settles
when the bottle is at rest, or when there
are ingredients that separate upon
standing.

w yHEN you take your medicine
w bottle back to the drug store to
have prescription repeated
you show nice sense of thrift and in
cidentally reveal to the druggist num-
ber Of interesting facts concerning your
character.
Talking about thrift reminds us that
bottles cost money, especially nowadays,
when 50 many of the chemicals needed
for making glass are being employed for
munitions. Of course, if you don't re-
turn the bottle and the druggist has to
furnish another one it is necessary for
him to charge you for it. He cannot
give them away, because, in the aggre-
gate, the expense of his bottles totals
hundreds of dollars every year.

Getting the Best of a Pigs Foot!

Pigs feet may be had at a very rea
sonable price and such "byproducts"
do not stand shipment and needn't be
conserved. Three and a half pounds
should cost about 65 cents and they NAV
be prepared as follows:
Soak them in strong brine for TWENTY
four hours; then throw into a pan of
hot water and scrape until white. Again
soak for two hours in a soda water So
luton (baking soda) and give them
final scraping. Simmer in sailed water
to which has been added a bay leaf,
few celery seeds and an onion stuck
with whole cloves. When the meat al
most falls from the bones remove it
carefully, add paprika to taste, moisten
slightly with very little of the strained
liquor and press into a square pan. Set
in the ice box to chill and harden.
This is delicious cut in thin slices and
served cold; for a hot dish it may be cut
in thicker slices, rolled in corn meal and
fried crisp and brown. For an excellent
salad, cut the meat in dice, mix with
chopped radishes, hard cooked egg and
shredded lettuce, and blend with a good
mayonnaise. 1t cannot be told from
chicken salad.

with sprigs of parsley and cook on sew
eral folds of paper, in dish surround
ed with boiling water Serve either cold
or reheated, turned from the moulds.
Bean Loaf
Put two cupsful of cooked beans
through the meat grinder. Add one cup
full of cooked rice, one cupful of bread
crumbs, one tablespoonful of melted
shortening (bacon or pork fat pre-
ferred), one lightly beaten egg, one
eighth teaspoonful paprika, half tea

rice is unsalted) and one teaspoonful of
grated onion. Blend we'll, form into

fat dissolved in one cupful of hot water
If desired the mixture can be moulded in
croquettes and either fried in deep hot
fat or baked in the oven and basted as
for the loaf.
Jellied Veal
Soak one tablespoonful of granulated
gelatine in one-quarter of a cupful of
cold water and dissolve in one cupful of
boiling water; then add one-quarter of
a cupful each of vinegar and sugar.
two tablespoonful of lemon juice, and
one teaspoonful of salt. Strain, cool,
and when it begins to stiffen add one
and quarter cupsful of cold, cooked
veal, one large canned pimento cut in
shreds, and one hard cooked egg cut in
strips. Turn into a mould and chill.
A delicious sauce to serve with this or
with any cold fish or meat is made by
mixing one tablespoonful of tarragon
vinegar, two tablespoonful of grated
horseradish root, one teaspoonful of
English mustard. half teaspoonful of
salt and a few grains of cayenne Then
add half a cupful of heavy cream beaten
until stiff and three tablespoonsful of

morning it will only need relocating.

Keep the Label
Clean

~lS01l
Medicines should always be poured out
from the side of the bottle opposite to
the label bearing the directions. The
directions are important or they would
not be there, and if they are blurred or
obliterated entirely mistake is liable
to occur. We may think we will remem-
Der exactly what that label said, but if
the bottle has been set away week or
month it may be difficult to remember
whether the dose was half a teaspoonful
or two teaspoonsful. Everybody In the
family should make 1t point to keep
all medicine labels clean.
Then if the lip or fange of the bottle
shows a residue Of dried medicine and
dust the owner stands convicted of lack
Of attention to cleanliness. Where the
surface is left wet dust will collect, par

Such bottles should not be placed near

Some medicines should be stored in
the dark, for they are affected by light
rays. Usually such substances are dis
pensed or sold in bottles of brown OF
blue glass. Instead Of leaving them on
an open shelf, just set them in a dark

pneumonia, almost invariably attacks
weak, rundown, underweight people,
who have lowered vitality and weak
nerves. The best way to guard against
these conditions and to insure having
plenty of nerve force, strength and
surplus vitality is to take a five-grain
food phosphate tablet (known among
druggists tro-Phosphate) with
each meal. This Bitro- Phosphate.

That Is Charge Deputy Clerk Makes,
Following Loss of Job.

FOuOWing Loss OF Job.
Alleging that it is all "a dirty piece
of politics." L. H. Barnes, former dep
uty county clerk, today emphatically
denied the charges made against him
Friday by Kenneth Raub, insisting
that it had been mutually understood
that he was to get his position back in
the event that he returned from Fort
Riley, where he was sent Monday with
a contingent of drafted men.
These are the facts" ID Barnes,
"a out that conversation in the hall
1 asked him if he was going to hire
anyone in my place when 1 left and he
replied that he would not, as 1 prob
ably would not be gone long, anyway
When 1 returned Wednesday morning
L read that my place was filled and
called Raub up on the phone. He
said that the day before he had made
three trips to the adjutant generals
office to inquire if I was coming back
and that they told him that 1 was not.
Now, if he never intended to give me
back the job in the first place, why
did he go to the trouble of making
three trips to the adjutant generals
office to find out about me? In fact
he admitted over the phone that he
had promised me the job
Barnes said that. he did rot take the
matter up with the council of defense
and did not know it had written Raub
until he read of it in the papers.
This idea of attacking my record Is
despicable. The county commission
ers or anyone else who knows will tell
you I worke ! like a dog in that office
and put in any hours overtime. If
Raub was not satisfied with my work
why did he not discharge me long
ago? The fact is, there never was a
word passed between us and he never
criticised nv work"
