Heavy Penalties for Stealing Cars

The senate this week adopted bill making the penalty for theft of a motor vehicle fifteen years impri- sonment for the first offense and twenty years imprisonment for the second offense. Most of the other states have passed laws providing severe punishment for motor car thieves and it is expected that con- gress will consider the enactment of a federal law fixing a heavy penalty for interstate traffic in stolen cars. Evidently it is soon going to be al most as dangerous to steal motor car as it was to steal a horse in pioneer days.

dressing, or in cream sauce havored

Dried vegetables (after being boiled)
may be served in the gravy with the
not roast or meat or vegetable casse-
role or in the sauce for the baked or
boiled fish. They may be combined
with each other or with other fresh
vegetables, in "boiled dinner" or In
chowders or casserole dishes of any
kind. They may be used with rice,
macaroni or bread crumbs, in stuting
baked peppers or tomatoes or meat or
fish; they may be combined in a mock
mincemeat.
Cooking the Dried Fruits
Dried fruits are usually given
long. slow cooking in water below the
boiling point. They may be soaked
for a few hours, or they may be sim
ply mashed and put directly into the
warm water for cooking. The impor-
tant point to be observed is not to
soak or cook in too much water. Inc
dried product can not be expected TO
have as much flavor as does the fresh; ;
SO all pains must be taken to dilute
that flavor as little as possible. Most
recipes for cooking dried prunes and
apricots direct that two cupfuls OF
water be used to one cupful of fruit;
but a better-favored product will re-
suit. If equal measures of water and
fruit be used, when the cooking Is
done slowly In a tightly covered YES
sci so that little of the steam escapes
Dried fruits may be sweetened light
ly (since they usually contain good
deal of sugar themselves) with sugar,
or with any sort of sirup, according
to taste. They are to be used as
sauces. in puddings, fruit cakes and
cookies, compotes, whips, souffies and
even salads, much as fresh fruits are
used.

FINE ART OF COOKING RICE
c.r.aI Can Be Cooked So That 1t Is
FIaky and Each Grain Is Sepa-
rate, Say Specialists.

Rice can be cooked so that 1t Is
fiaky and so each grain remains sep
arate. say food specialists in the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture. To obtain that result wash the
rice thoroughly boil it in a large
proportion of water, and do not over
cook
To one cup of dry rice, use four or
five quarts of water and one teaspoon
full of salt. Wash the rice through
several waters until all the loose
starch is removed, and drain 1t. Have
the boiling water ready In deep
saucepan, add the salt, slowly drop In
the rice, and allow 1t to boil rapidly
for about 10 or 20 minutes, or until
n grain when pressed between tn"
thumb and finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from
stickingOto the pan, lift it If necessary
from time to time with fork, but do
not stir 1t, for stirring Is likely to
break the grains. When sufficiently
cooked, turn the rice into colander
or a sieve, and after the water has
drained off cover with a cloth and set
over a pan of hot water on the Dack
of the stove or In the oven; or turn
the rice into a shallow pan, cover with
lid, and place it in warm oven Tor
a short time. Treated in this way
the grains swell and are apt to keep
separate.

by uncomfortable shoes. the high
heels of which throw the body as

pf the feet, as they do on the hair
and face, we will be vastly happier.
