The Stock Pot

Our sisters across the water, es-
pecially the French women, appre-
ciate stock pot much more than
we do. Until the great war, many
American women were very impa-
tent of saving small amounts of
food, and the stock pot is most
valuable for utilizing these small
savings.
Most of the expensive meats, and
some of the less expensive ones,
have a considerable percentage of
bone, which is only good for max
ing stock. Any steak, even round,
can aid the stock pot as to bones,
while a roast bone can almost be
the basis of soup by itself. Head
and feet of poultry, properly
cleaned, are valuable additions. In
making stock from fresh or cooked
bones and meat they should be COW
cred with cold water, allowed to
soak 80 minutes, then brought to
a slow boil. Simmer three or four
hours. During the last hour of cook

The water in which vegetables
have been cooked may be used in
stead of plain water, and less sea-

of cooking.
To increase the nourishment of a
soup, cereals are excellent. Left
over rice, barley or even cooked

the end (allowing time enough to
heat the cereaD, or a small amount
of rice or barley may be put in the

one-half cup of raw cereal to one
quart of soup.

and vegetables left and want the
meat flavor. a small amount OF beef
extract or one or two bouillon
cubes may be used instead.

FAIR TAXES.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str; You
always talk sense, and you often talk
wisdom. and you have combined both

article OF Sunday. July 2s. on The
Worst Kind OF Vicious Tax Legislation
IT looks like an attempt to break the
golden egg in the goose.
The gentlemen whose business 1t II

and they are deserving of every lenien'
consideration. When they hawe ex-
hausted all their ingenuity in other
ways. why could they not impose m
active tax on all farm produce collected
at the first market town on the high
way?
This will sweep in a class we'll able

STORE DOOR DELIVERY.
Another Protest Against the New Sys.
tenn Of Freight Handling.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: In
bound consignments OF freight as a rule
are removed now about az promptly as
any store door delivery could remove
them.
There undoubtedly are some instances
of dilatory removal. but why do not
railroads and steamboat lines enforce in
such cases the paragraph or clause on
the notice OF arrival which provides that
unless removed by (day and hour here
specihed) the consignment will be re-
moved to storage?
The war has created such general
scarcity of mercha ndise that merchants
| to begin with are glad to secure 1t, and
then generally direct the quickest pos
slble shipment. but with frequent en-
bargoes or lack OF cars at one point or
another, with the necessary precedence
given to movement OF war and other
| material for cover there" ordinary
| freight is generally so delayed that the
! consignee is apt to feel relieved when
finally notified It has arrived.
Therefore with railroads strictly en-
forcing their regulations, in the event
OF dilatory removals, and with the bulk
OF consignments promptly removed
without this, the cause OF congested
| terminals is not one OF more promptly
removing inbound freight.
As both inbound and outbound
freights are daily received at the same
terminals, Notwithstanding prompt re-
moval OF inbound freight. congestion will
result II outbound freight Is not re.
moved quickly enough.
II delayed outbound movement is the
cause OF congestion at terminals trans

For comprehensiveness. accuracy, analy-
sis. II stands out among war documents.
1t is amazing to reflect that all the

yet presumably intelligent and ethical
minded persons In our country defended
Germany and were pro-German until our
own entrance among the belligerents.
You allude to this fact in your mas
terly outburst. But Is 1t not shocking
to think that SO many among us could
have allowed our moral instincts to be
so dulled By fatuous admiration for
glossy veneer as to make us. uncon-
sciously perhaps. but none the less

In the early days OF quartz gold

countless tons of powdered quartz
carrying from 10 to 20 per cent. Of the

was deposited in creek bottoms or in
dumps by the water which carried 1t
from the mills. but later was worked
over by more thrifty methods and
yielded millions In the yellow metal.
