TOUGH MEAT CAN BE
MADE QUITE tender
Long Cooking at a Low Temper
ature Is Necessary.
Many Ways Of Preparing In Water
Without Allowing It to Reach
Boiling Point-Possibilities
Of Double Boiler.

Tough pieces of meat are as nutri-
ttous as the more tender cuts and can
be made quite as appetizing, but they
require long cooking at low tem-
perature. There are many ways of
cooking meat in water without allow
ing It to reach the boiling point,
culinary experts in the United States
department of agriculture affirm. With
the ordinary kitchen range this is ac-
complished by soaring the meat until
brown, to develop the flavor. then
cooking on the cooler part Of the stove
rather than on the hottest part, d.
rectly over the fire.
Experience with gas stove, partic-
ularly If it has small burner known
as n "simmerer" usually enables the
cook to maintain temperatures which
will make It tender without hardening
the fibers. The possibilities Of the
double boiler for this purpose seem
to have been neglected. Its contents
can easily be kept up to a tempera-
ture of 200 degrees Fahrenheit and
nothing will burn.
Another method Is by means Of the
flreless cooker. In this a high tenn
pcrature can be maintained for long
time without the application Of fresh
heat. Still another method is BY
means Of a closely covered baking
dish, Earthenware dishes of this
kind suitable for serving foods as well
as for cooking are known as casse-
roles.
The Dutch oven or cast iron pot
with a heavy close-itting top is an
excellent utensil for the long cooking
of meats.

serves all the fame that has come tt
him, and all the gratitude that has
been showered upon him by his fellow
countrymen.
In 1861, as appeared also to be the
case in 1919, the great determining
factor was forcAthe armed might OF
the nation.
In the attempt at settlement Of
the difficulties between the northern
and southern sections of our common
country everything had been tried in
the line Of discussion, argument
pleading and prayer. On the hust.
ings, in legislative halls and senate
chambers, everywhere, earnest efforts
were made to reach the compromise
which would avert the danger which
threatened the nations peace, but all
was in vain, and presently grim-vis-
aged war was upon us with all its
horrors.
The brothers were ut each others
throats and the supreme question was,
"Shall the Union be preserved?''
With malice toward none and with
charity for ALL" Mr.. Lincoln, as the
executive head Of the nation, resolved
that the Union should be saved. To
that proposition he dedicated himself
body, mind and soul, and with the
energy that was commensurate with
his patriotism the great man prepared
the armed might which was to carry
his purpose into effect.
But American was fighting Ameri-
can. The best blood in the world
ran in the veins Of the fighters on
both sides Of the conflict, and for Il
long time the issue Of the mighty
struggle was in doubt.
It will be remembered how general
after general, with large and splendid
" equipped armies, crossed the Poto-
mac, fought with characteristic Ameri-
can valor, and came back without vic
tory.
Patterson, Mcdowell, Mcclellan,
Burnside, Pope, Hooker, failed to
bring Lincoln the victory he sent them
out to win for him; and the great man
in the White House was "sorrowful
nigh unto DEATH" He never. despaired,
but God alone knows the agonies he
endured in his silent soul.
Had Lincoln lived he might have en-
2bled us, by reading between the lines
of his story, to learn something of
what he suffered during the dark and
gloomy period from Bull Run to Get
tysburg; but even as it is we know,
from his intimate friends, that the
good man came as near despa.ring as
it was. possible for one Of his large
faith to come.
However, in the moving back and
forth of destiny's shuttle, it came to
pass that the man from Illinois was
intrusted with the stupendous task of
beating the Army Of Northern Virgi-
MIA with Lee at its head.
1t was that army that bore up on its
bayonets the fortunes Of the C0nfed-
eracy; and if that army could be de-
feated the victory would be won and
the Union saved.

Fruit and vegetables wait for no
man when they reach their prime and
this time is usually just when the
farmers wife is busiest and tie days
are hottest. Nowadays, help is very
difficult to obtain in the Country, yet
the family's supply Of fruit and vege-
tables for winter must be saved when
they are in season. In many neigh
borhoods the community drier for pre-
serving surplus fruits and vegetables

living near 1t.
The time to build drying plant is

farmers club together to erect such a
drier the expense to each family is

the zone like him" did not appear to
exist.
There is a fact in connection with
Grants life that but few people are
acquainted with, fact that shows the
shortsightedness of some who are sup
posed to be wise.
The fact is this: that just before the
battle Of Fort Donelson, Generals Hal
leck and Mcclellan had decided to
cashier Grant, had actually written
the order, but held it back to see what
the result at Donelson would be.
Grant won at Donelson rose higher
and higher; won more victories; in the
supreme hour was picked out by the
president for the position of lieuten-
ant general, in which position he saved
the Union and laid hold upon the i'm
mortality he so richly deserves.

Over the hills they marched away

In childhood's blossoms and fields of dew,
Changed in that hour to full-grown men,
When the song Of the bugle rang down

With its wild appeal and its throb and

And they answered ''yea" to their coun-

Then in the burrows the plowskare slept,
Der wheel and anvil a silence crept;
All night long through the village street
Thundered the rhythm Of marching feet,
With clash of steel and the saber's clang
And the gray commanders stern ha-

Till morning broke and they marched

Across the meadows in clover deep,

In general it is more difficult to re-
