PUT RABBIT IN MINCEMEAT
important Ingredient for oelicae,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Mincemeat, that toothsome filler for
pies has been blacklisted the last
year or two by economical house
keepers because of the high cost of
beef, an important ingredient in this
delicucy. Numerous "meatlesS mince-
meat" recipes have been concocted
but to the discriminating, mincemeat,
to have the real flavor needs meat.
The members of a Mother Daughter
club in Washington county, Kansas,
are enjoying genuine mlncement pies
this winter and at the same time they
are enjoying the feeling of having
been economical. Rabbits are plenh-
fuI in certain parts of Kansas and
this club decided to use rabbit meat
in place of beef in their old mince-
meat recipes. The pie filling which
resulted is said TO be satisfactory
in every way, with a genuine mince-
meat flavor. And once more mince-
meat is reckoned household neces
sity in Washington county instead o
a luxury.
