course. every one uses carrots
and onions, but I have met
women who said they never ate
oyster-plant, that most delicate of
all the roots, and whose only
knowledge of turnips is with
"boiled dinner" My chief idea to-
day Is to encourage the use of the
same old roots in new ways, which
will be the equivalent of finding
many new foods.
Let's take carrots. Have you
ever grated them, made them into
a carrot pie or a salad or used
them in a pudding? If not, you
don't know carrots! A carrot Gus
tard is one of the most delectable
of Winter dishes, with a flavor and
food value all its own. Carrot
cream soup deserves to be served
once each week.
How do you cook parsnips? I
hope not always with a wearisome
cream sauce. Try them fried with
a roast Of meat in place of pota-
toes, or mashed and made into
cakes or fritters, or, above all,
candied like sweet potatoes in
brown sugar. In any of these ways
they make q dish fit for a king!

ored as well as nourishing dish.
Don't cut turnips into thick
chunks and boil for four hours
until red and coarse. Cut in small
dice, cook in sailed uncovered
water and add little cream and
seasoning. Such a dish will easily
be worth quarter, yet you can
get enough turnips for two meals
for dime. Use the white kind in
thin slices, scalloped, with a white
sauce, and bake them, or drop into
a meat stew and serve floating in
the gravy. q

You may see small one stick

Just rub the cooked root through
a coarse sieve and combine with q
white sauce.
Beets deserve wider use. They
can be eaten hot and whole, or
sliced hot or diced and served with
a white sauce. This last may seem
an odd way, but 1t is very good
one. Picked and spiced they
serve to touch up any Winter salad
and lend zest to cold meats. Use
mild vinegar, add whole cloves and
peppers and a taste of cardamon.
Let the beets lie covered in this.
1t seems that only the Russians
have fully appreciated the possi-
bilities of beets. Their most
famous soup, ''borsch," Of which
have spoken before, Is made of

CENTER OF MANY LEGENDS
amous Dome of the Rock, in the Holy
Land, Has Long Been Held
Sacred Place.

The Mussulman'S grief at the fall of
Jerusalem is largely centered in the
tdte Of the Dome of the Rock. For
centuries devout Mohammedans have
iourneyeG to this spot, which they
count second ONLY to the holy places o.
liecca in religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock about which Il host of tra-
WJi0ns-Tewi. H. Christian and Mo
han,medan-have been collected From
this rock Mohammed asccnded into
HEAVIER on his Steed El Borr,k the light
Alng. Here also. il traditionr is worth
auyThing rested Noah'S ark, and Jacob
saw the angelic vision This spot is
l> miles nearer heaven than any oth-
or on the earth, and the Turks accept
Ire old Jewish theory that this is The
center Of the earth. Here on the judg
lnent day will the angel Gabriel stand
Wpen lie sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over those statements, You accept or
reject thtm rs you will But long and
heated have been the learned dsser-
tatonS to decide whether this Identical
S00t, already oyercrowded with asso-
Hiations, is the site of Solomon's tenn
lie or OF the tomb Of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former conclu-
son and grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar Of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock is q
worthy rival Of the Tai Mahal in beau
ty of design. The building is octagon-
II like mosque and popularity called
the Mosque of Omar, to the distress,
Of the well Informed, who point out
that it is only shrine and that the
true Mosque Of Omar is a small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
MOhammedan worship Is as yet un.
disturbed by the yiceroy Of the Chris
tians, the chief difference being tina;
the Mohammedan is now the tenant
and the unbeliever the landlord.
