best accomplished between 140 and

on new Importance in the eyes of
housekeepers. A sirup well liked by
those who have used it is made from
sweet potatoes. 1t is palatable and

How to Make Sirup.
The method of preparing the sirup
is as follows:
Wash the sweet potatoes and re-

blcmishes. Peeling the potatoes i'm

potatoes, place them in kettle with

DRIPPINGS GOOD AS

Fats From Fried Sausage, Ham,

1t is almost universally conceded
that cooked vegetables require the
addition of fat to be at their best
and that no fat seems so suitable as
butter for seasoning them, If on the
texture of the dish and the flavor
rests the decision. Many families,
however are practiclng thrift in the
use of foods which they purchase and
are varying the vegetable seasoning.
One of the best fats for seasoning a
vegetable dish is sweet savory drip

know why this council, of which

Chippewa in Minnesota, and in
fact there are more Indians in this
council who could easily be called
full bloods than there are mixed

than there are in the Cofey-Cas-
we'll council. - In the foregoing
language All da be tung stated a
fact that possibly many who are
not intimately acquainted with the
Chippewas in this state were not
aware of. 1t is true however that
the Coffey-Caswell council of
self-styled full bloods is composed
of a great matiy more of mixed
blood origin than of full bloods, in
fact all the leaders in this so called
council of full-bloods are of de-
