What Would You Do?

am going to tell you about 60
ign to Glen Miller park to see the
log cabin. The first school master
was Mr.. Roberts. He was born in
North Carolina. The first school
was built in 1912. 1t was made of
logs. They used wooden pegs for
nails. They took bark off of the
trees for shingles. The window was
made of bark. The people used
mud and bark for the cracks. On
the inside they had benches for the
desk. The fireplace was in the
corner. 1t was hole in the ground
with mud on the inside. They took
stone and struck it to make a
light. They used wood instead of
coal. On the door the hinge was
made of wood. We all drew a pic
ture of the log cabin. Then Miss
Phillips took a picture of the old
school. What would you do if your

Wandering Captives

Once there was a boy who loved
out door sport whose name was
Fred.
One day he went out in the
woods and toward evening an In
dian attacked him, took him in his
hut and tied him.
His mother and father were wor-
ried and the father got up during
the night while the mother was
asleep to go into the woods and
see il he could find Fred. Another
Indian attacked him and did the
same with him as they did the boy.
When the mother got up and she
saw that her husband had gone, she
sent two of her children to take
lunch to their father for she
thought he went out early to chop
wood.
The children went out and they
met an Indian and they asked him
if he had seen their father and
brother.
He gave a sign to the rest of the
Indians and they came out with
ropes to tie hem. They tied them
and put them in canoes and sailed
them off over the river to differ
ent country
The mother then went out to find
them all but she was attacked by
another Indian and was tied just
like her husband and son. They
kept them until midnight and at
that time they took them into a
different woods and put each in a
different place.
After many years of anxiety they
finally met
The children which had gone over
the river were now grown and
Fred who was very fond of sports
went to work with his father and
the mother and the girls did the
house work and they all loved each
other until the end.

Pat and Mike were working in a

to get some dynamite to blow some

when young take an hour, and three
or four hours if large and old.
1t is best to cook all vegetables
with the lid partially drawn off.
Too violent boiling is never recon-
mended, and in the case of potatoes
will mean that pieces are broken off,
and if the water is drained and
thrown away sometimes one-third or
more Of the nutriment is lost.
Hot or Cold Water?
Should vegetables be put on in
hot or cold water? The answer is
"Hot water; boiling hot" And if
the flavor is so strong that we think
we might dispense with a. little of
it, as in some varieties of onions,
we drain off this water and begin
again with fresh, boiling water.
Usually the water is salted at the
beginning; one teaspoonful to the
quart Is the average amount. Rarely
add soda to the water for the sake
of holding color, as it affects the
vitamine value. This is only per-
Missile when the vegetable is old,
thereby making it more tender. 1t

is hard.

cookery will be more than a guide,
for the time of cooking will vary

beets beat the world for the time
they take!
Boiling, baking, steaming, escal.
Looping, frying and stewing all play
their part in vegetable cookery, but
certain methods seem best adapted
to certain varieties. A few general
directions apply to all. The first is
to buy vegetables as fresh as pos
sible. If they have become wilted
they should be soaked in cold water
until plump and crisp. Vegetables
which form into heads-cauliflower,
etc.-should be turned head down in
salted water with two tablespoonfuls
Of vinegar added. Soak for half
hour so that any insects which may
have crawled in will come out.
In the preparation avoid useless
waste, thereby sometimes part of
tho valuable foodstuffs is lost. For
instance, the only mineral salts Of
the potato lie close to the skin.
Tender, succulent young vege-
tables, such as green peas, spinach
and corn, to obtain the best result
must be steamed or simmered gently
ten to twenty minutes in only |
enough water to prevent burning,
while more compact ones like cab
bage and onions may be boiled
rapidly until tender.
